QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 04:01 PM) Even down 2-0 Italy did have a few chances, once they went down a man that was the end. Spain is really good, but 2014 will be tough. Spain could have some challenge from Argentina and Brazil, who are more comfortable with possession style of play. La Liga ruling over EPL, etc right now. Germany/Spain would have been a much better final IMO. One thing to remember about 2014, a European team has never won a World Cup played in the Americas.

Giants Brandon Belt & Brandon Crawford finished 2nd in the voting at 1b/ss. If they would have won the vote too, that would have been something else.

WOOO! Way to get out of that jam Gavin. Pitch like that with bases empty too please.

1-2-3 DP! Those were some nice pitches he threw to Cano

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 01:20 PM) Bullpen rested against this lineup, it's never too early to pull the starter

Runners on the corners, nobody out. Good start G.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 01:12 PM) Nice to see first inning run. Anyone else without power? Rios! I'm right by O'hare, got the dark clouds and some winds, but not a single rain drop. Right on the nothern edge of the storm.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 01:07 PM) The Indians are just beating up on the Orioles awful pitching this weekend. Next they get the Angels & Rays for 7 games, so it should get a bit more difficult for them.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 12:44 PM) I feel like the HR Derby probably effects pure hitters, like Konerko or Miggy, more than it effects dudes that swing for a HR everytime anyway, like Dunn and Fielder. Agreed. He already swings for the fences with every at-bat, so what's the difference.

Good for him. Now let's make sure Sale starts on Sunday, so he doesn't waste any innings in a meaningless exhbition.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 12:34 PM) Good luck beating Yu Just end the voting now. No one else has a chance.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 12:36 PM) LMAO David Wright isn't starting for the NL at 3B? Is this some sort of a sick joke? Giants fans rocked the vote. Panda has missed 30 games but got the starting nod, along with Posey & Melky.

The Dodgers were shut out 5 times this WEEK. They were shut out for a whole 3-games series in SF.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 10:07 AM) He has a horse ranch in Houston? Maybe not horses, but cows and he is very serious about it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 10:12 PM) It will come out after he leaves. Probably. But it doesn't seem to have affected the team's performance. The quotes from that player survey made it seem like AJP especially goes after youngsters, but with all the rookies on this staff, they are doing well with him catching.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 09:45 AM) Bachelor party is in St. Louis next weekend for two days... We like to drink, a lot. Any suggestions or must stops? I actually had mine down there too for a Hawks/Blues game. Laclede's Landing has a lot of the bars & action. The casino is down there, it's pretty nice too. All the strip joints are across the border in Illinois, but taxis should take you there no problem.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 05:07 PM) Thome traded to Orioles It turns out having a DH in the NL is just a waste of a roster spot.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 02:37 PM) White Soxman Breaking News: Former #WhiteSox 1B\OF Carlos Lee has been traded to the #Dodgers. Lee has veto rights so we will see if he accepts. #Astros I doubt El Caballo wants to leave his caballos in Houston, even for a couple months

For supposedly being one of the biggest assholes in MLB, AJ has sure made himself a nice spot in Chicago. Don't really hear the bad teammate stuff here.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 10:22 PM) Royals/Twins doubleheader tomorrow. KC may be in 3rd place tomorrow night. More importantly, Detroit may be in 4th place tonight

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 12:32 AM) CNN just broke out emails that shows Curley and Shultz talking about reporting Sandusky but then they talked to Paterno and he basically changed their minds. PSU is going to hell. So Joe Paterno cared more about his reputation than the situation of little boys.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 12:38 AM) Whats the big deal about rookies? I don't care if they're rookies or veterans, I just want good pitchers. Look at Ohman, he was a veteran and he sucked. Look at Thornton, he's a veteran and he got rocked. I can't speak for the others, but the whole offseason was spent talking about how the Sox had no good prospects in their system and that they are the worst in MLB. And yet the first place roster is stacked with Sox prospects.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 05:25 PM) How are we going to afford to have so many pitchers on a staff from the worse farm system in baseball? Maybe we should trade all these pitchers for Anthony Rizzo????

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 10:44 AM) BTW, an interesting rumor I heard today is that if (when?) Brodeur leaves NJ, the Devils might want Crawford. If that's the case, the Hawks would go after Bernier I'll drive Crawford to any airport in the Midwest if the Hawks get Bernier.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 11:52 AM) He's not the player he once was, but he was sure close this spring. The stats say differently. Of the 7 goalies who played 10+ games, he was 6th in save percentage, and since Ilya Brygalov doesn't really count, it's safe to say he was last.
