A's crush Buehrle. + Rockfor Minor league discussion

[Brian]

A's tagged Buehrle with 14 hits, 7R, 4 earned over 6.1.

 

I really like this A's team, I think they might be able to make a run at the wild card.

I tend to doubt it, with them well behind the Twins and Orioles for the WC, and still behind the Yankees, who are too talented not to have a better second half of the season.

I like it when "crush" and "Buehrle" appear in the same sentence.

 

What a loser.

I watched the game. He was really good until he made the error in the 6th, then everything went all to hell. Uncharacteristic.

[HerbalK]

Didn't he have some sort of streak for taking starts 7+ innings?

6IP, so he fufilled it.

Hey RationalSoxFan. Just curious if you go to any RiverHawks games. I've been thinking about catching a game for awhile. They sound like they are a good team (for independent league) But I haven't been to a game at Marinelli since they were Affiliated with the Cubs (Rockford Cubbies).

 

 

I'm from Belvidere BTW.

Not yet, I'm not a fan of their stadium. When the new one is open (mid-July), I'll go all the time. It's pretty good baseball and hopefully they can get an affiliate again.

[Brian]

Yeah Marinelli is a dump, I use to go alot when I was kid and they were affiliated - Royals - Expos - Cubs. I didn't know the stadium was going to be open this year, that's awesome.

[NCCubFan]

Hey RationalFoxFan.

Is that the Fox national network he's a fan of, or Fox Sports Net? :lol:

[Brian]

I'm confused as to what exactly you are talking about :wink:

[CoolHandLuke]

I GOT KIRK RUETERS AUTOGRAPH AT MARINELLI LIKE 15 YEARS AGO!!!! AND I SAW GRUDZ PLAY!!!!!!! That is definately a really bad part of town, I'm from Winnebago (just west of rockford, you have probably never heard of it) so I used to go out to the park a lot in the early nineties. Haven't been in a while though.

[Brian]

Awesome... North Central Illinois party here!

 

Oh man I didn't know Grudz played in Rockford maybe I saw him. I belive Johnny Damon played there also.

 

But I don't remember any players, I might have some programs buried some where I should look up.

[Brian]

This is so awesome, I've been googling Rockford minor league affiliates for little bit now.

 

Some notable players that have played in rockford include

 

Delino DeShields, Mark Grudzielanek, Austin Kearns, Johnny Damon, Philip Norton (still in the Cubs system), Kirk Reuter

 

Probably more, but these are just the guys that lead the team in some stat.

You might want to look at the statements that he has made about the Cubs over the last two or so years to figure out why he doesn't like Mark.

Well what do you expect from a guy who grew up a die hard cardinals fan and is currently playing for the white sox?

I'll be there as well in a couple of weeks, Rockford runs a solid ship, they have a quality team and quality management.

I was thinking more of not a big Cubs fan, anyways it was only 1 comment anyways and for all you know it could even be true. Seriously to make such a big deal about 1 statement isnt healthy.

 

There is more to life than baseball, i suggest you explore it

Ok, you first. I expect you to not watch or comment on baseball for the next month while you explore the outside world.
