welp,

Marmol's pretty good, huh

5/5

What is the WSox deal with retreads? KWilliams reminds me of a guy that breaks up with his girlfriend, dates around with no luck, and goes back with the old girlfriend again thinking it's going to work out better this time.

I am all for what Bell said, and he is right in saying that. Think about the accolades Peavy would get were he on the Red Sox. That said, it doesn't/won't change anything. We all know that ESPN is generated by ad revenue, and in order for ESPN to make the most money possible they have to have the largest audience possible. By talking about large market teams more often, they make more revenue. This is capitalism, pure and simple. With that said, probably the best thing people can do is just not watch ESPN, nor listen to their radio stations, visit their websites, or subscribe to their magazines. In fact, we would all be better off by simply ingoring/not talking about this cancer on sports altogether. However, ESPN is also largely responsible for the current popularity of sports, which I suppose is both good and bad. In the end, the viewer makes a decision of product purchase, or co-signing their broadcasting tactics, by watching the channel. The solution is simple. Besides, local coverage (like comcast) is more exclusive, thusly bringing better coverage to what you care about. For the rest of the teams/games, that information is available widely. ESPN is a mock monopoly at best, and the more we buy into their product the more their obnoxiousness persists in the culture of sports (one could make the argument that translates over to a culture of news, in general, but alas).

Out of nowhere on Friday, my coworker and i were like randomly throwing around names of ballplayers from the 70's and i mentioned Fidrych. Too bad.

Was he any good? Heard he was grinning like a school boy

Apparently just pitched a scoreless eighth inning for the Yankees. Probably the best pitching they had all night.

i'm assuming miles is at third, not second.

I don't see any parallels between DLee and known roid users. I wouldn't be any more shocked to find out Theriot was a roider than I would Lee. i was talking about the phrase in general, but yeah, sure.

what exactly is your angle with this one?

yeah, was gonna say. he walked off on his own, and didn't look like it was anything serious. lou said he was glad that he didn't try to score on the play because he will probably be healthy, but might have torn it if he kept running. dude needs to get into yoga or something.

turn the ESPN off.

as long as they win, i mean, i guess; but i sure hope it's not like this all year.

wow. just. wow.

is falling off a cliff the new euphemism for being off steroids?

When he was on though... Hitters were all :scratch:

Couldn't Rich Hill be considered in this group? He basically threw a mild fastball and that nasty curve. Was the curveball just so nasty that the hitters could never find a balance in the box?

The L isn't a big deal. What about Soto and Marmol? Those are the concerns.

??? Marmol is hurt now, too?

blech

Heilmann looks pretty good, huh.

i would have rather had bradley hitting against hawkins there...

Yes, as long as TLR is there, I will be worried about them. But here we are talking about issues from last year that didn't get resolved. That bullpen is wretched again. Jason Motte's is Kyle Farnsworth minus 4 MPH. Fastball as straight as can be, and he can't keep it low. User name/Post

Still in the game. :-$
