greg775 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 07:15 PM) Absolutely, but we're already hearing excuses for why Jones/Kotsay are going to stay on the roster. I'm definitely of the opinion that it's time to move Beckham back into the 2nd spot. If Kenny's going to go for a big bat and trade our favorite minor leaguers he might as well do it sooner rather than later. Ease the sting and give the bat some time to get acclimated.

I actually really want Lance Berkman because I think he'd be a great fit for this team, but the problem is we need a RF now, and I doubt Berkman can play RF anymore. Also, Quentin needs to stop shaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's complaining that the umps aren't giving the required time between innings so WGN keeps missing the first pitch of each inning. He said the same thing yesterday.

But the thing is, we already got someone who is a huge injury risk in Quentin. We would definitely have to get someone in here who we could rely on.

They have a great approch against Garcia, who is leaving far too many pitches up in the zone. As for the offense, Blackburn has get burned by the long ball this season, but outside of our 3-4-5, we don't have enough powerful hitters in this gigantic stadium.

I understand and I think commercials are the bigger problem, but still, its no fun to tune in and see that somehow someone got on. It ruins the flow for people following at home.
