5-0.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 02:15 PM) Moose Skowren on the radio is absolutely brutal. I have no idea what the hell is going on from one moment to the next. Exactly. Let 'em call the game.

We need more runs. Get Pods in.

12 left...

He saved it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 02:07 PM) He's a terrible manager. It appears the Mariners still find ways to win with crappy managers. They won 88 games in 07 with a crappy one.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 02:03 PM) looking at the mariners offense it is amazing they are 6 over. just shows what good SP can do for you. They have three above average hitters in their lineup - Ichiro, Branyan, Gutierrez. Too bad Wakamatsu puts Branyan in the two-spot. He needs to move to the 3rd or 4th spot. He doesn't make enough contact to be in the 2-hole. Plus, why is Junior batting 4th? He should bat 6th or 7th. Jose Lopez is also a really crappy 3 hitter. They could do better if their lineup was formatted a bit better with something along the lines of... 1. Ichiro RF 2. Lopez 2B 3. Gutierrez CF 4. Branyan 1B 5. Sweeney DH 6. Griffey LF 7. Johnson C 8. Hannahan 3B 9. Cedeno SS

Q didn't look too bad there.

That almost dropped.

Uh oh. Not just before the Tigers series Q, please don't.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 01:45 PM) What's your bench looking like these days? I have Joakim Soria, Edinson Volquez, and Tommy Hanson on my bench as pitchers. In other words, I'm stacked. I also have Pence and Hunter riding the bench.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 01:42 PM) I am sorry you still have him. Somehow I was able to get CC for him in a 4 player deal. I dumped him a while back. Lost velocity on the fastball and couldn't buy strikes.

Mark's gotta keep 'em down. Looks pretty good right now. Seattle's winning as well.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 01:40 PM) I started Kazmir on my fantasy team. He's got a lot of negative points right now.

I had a great game with Fields in the Show last night. He went 3-4 with 5 RBI. Damn, can it be true?

SLAM!

Josh is probably looking to walk...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 01:38 PM) I couldnt disagree more. He's a very good backup IF'er for what he is, a great defensive player with power. Nix has a lot of value as a bench player. Great power and great defense. He just needs to make contact.

If only somebody made some damn contact and moved the runners up in the two previous ABs...

Kazmir can't find the plate and we still strikeout...

The guy can't hit... He's a defensive replacement. He's got decent power if you hit him against the right people. Part of the reason why BA did not succeed this year was because Ozzie kept on using him against left handed pitchers. He was hitting around .130 against them...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 08:35 PM) I don't know how anyone could possibly complain about this outing from Torres in his debut. When's the last time we got a Q.S. from a guy making his ML Debut? Exactly. I wish we had him in 2003 and 2004...

I thought the Rays would have at least scored a couple by now. If we can get 5 out of Torres and still be in the game, it would be real nice.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 06:44 PM) Chris Duncan does nothing well. Every fly ball is an adventure for him and he is an awful hitter. He's got some good power. He had an OPS+ of 140 and 115 in 06 and 07. Julio Lugo does nothing well. I'd rather play Ryan at SS if I were St. Louis.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 05:47 PM) Duncan really fell off a cliff didn't he? Talk about a horrible deal for the Cardinals. Julio Lugo sucks. At least Chris Duncan still has some potential.
