Two things.
I’m excited. We have the best record in all the land.
I’m also annoyed. Please stop talking about our “road woes.” We have a .500 record on the road. Same as the Cubs and better than all but 4 teams in the league and only worse than 1 AL team. We’re elite on the road compared to the rest of the league.
Tools Whore
Sign Bonds!
And RJ, can we get a post about Willy Aybar? The man is stepping it up BIG TIME.
Offensively, he’s better than a replacement for Carl Crawford (In the short term…given more PA he might even things out)
He’s doing too well to be eclipsed by posts about Carlos’ salary. Let’s talk about HIS salary.
RJ still working on how BJ went hitless
and won ‘star of the game’ award last night
jk RJ, don’t get your panties in a bind
RJ, little help
Is Rocco a total FA after this year, and if so will we go after him?
I think the Rays will.

Below market deal laden with incentives you have to think.
Whether he does anything the rest of the year or not I think they at least attempt to bring him back

Someone said there is a 'watch party' at Fergs today?
Is that true or should I go somewhere else?

good luck in school, I am heading up to school tomorrow hopefully for the last timeafter summer
I am already a 5th yr senior.
MInor point perhaps
but I thought it nice that Gross had 4 ABs against lefties, got 2 hits and took terrific swings the other two at bats hitting the ball hard and on a line both times.
Gross has been looking good.
I love him in the field. Thank you Brewers!

they nearly got screwed by the home plate ump. He made multiple horrible calls in the 9th
and than tossed the catcher with 1 out.
Plz make Price playoff eligible
Make tonight his last minor league start please. I am warming to the bullpen idea but they gotta do it before Sept 1st, he will help in the playoffs.
Sunday night games on ESPN and Saturday Fox games are never blacked out
because they aren’t shown on local TV. They have precedence over local TV. So they don’t play them on FSN or ION.

He had won his 3 previous start giving up only 4 er in 18 IP. Although those 4 runs all came on solo homers. 14 k’s 7 bb’s
btw, Beckett will miss yet another start

Olney:
Edwin Jackson looked absolutely poised and completely at ease rolling out six solid innings in a crucial game between contenders, and for that, he and the Rays deserve a whole lot of credit. There were times during the 2007 season when Tampa Bay might’ve dropped Jackson out of its rotation, but the Rays stuck with Jackson and kept giving him the ball, and he is now among the top half of the AL starters — and getting better. Remember, he doesn’t turn 25 until next month.
Motherfucker is insane. “Poised” = walking five, letting the leadoff man reach the first five innings. ‘Top half of the AL starters" his tRA is over 5.5, that’s beyond awful.
I pray that other GMs have him in the top half of starters.
We may get a damn fine RF after all.

Last seven games Jackson is somehow 5-2 with a 3.92 ERA despite a K/BB of 1.2, BB/9 of 4.6 and HR/9 of 2.1.
Oh, and...

by R.J. Anderson on Aug 23, 2008 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions
he Sox pounded Edwin Jackson for 7 hits and 5 walks in the first 5 innings, but only managed 2 runs. Yet again, the Sox managed just 1 hit with a runner in scoring position (which failed to plate General Soreness) and struggled with fundamentals on the basepaths.
On the last trip to Tampa Bay, the Sox couldn’t properly execute a rundown. Friday night, they couldn’t throw out a runner they had picked off and handed two straight outs to the Rays when it appeared Maddon’s crew was reading Ozzie’s mail. First, Juan Uribe was throw out on hit-and-run when the Rays called for a pitch out. Then just a couple pitches later, on the first pitch after Orlando Cabrera reached base, Tampa called for another pitch-out to catch Cabrera on what appeared to be a straight steal, properly executing the rundown, of course.
9 = 8

It’s very simple…throw more FB’s down and away and more balls will be put in play. With his stuff, he would get a ton of weak groundballs early in the count. I dont get their pitch selection.

But he has given up 1 run though 4 innings. He has kept his team in the game. And he is at 75 pitches.
That wasn't really that bad a pitch though...
