The_Admiral Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 There's some truth to a lot of that. I don't think I'd call myself a cancer or a community blight or anything, and I'm confident that I'm able to post on numerous subjects with the appropriate earnestness and sincerity. I think we have a bit in common when it comes to things like holding petty grudges against stupid people!So anyway Zambrano sucks. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Tigers acquire Delmon Young from TwinsNot sure about this deal, he's having a down year, but at the same time, if we can see the productivity from him that he's shown in 2010, than I say good deal.

One of the most frustrating players to watch. Have fun with him.Really looked to be coming into his own last year, but has regressed greatly this year.Twins in general have just been the most disappointing team of the season. No bullpen at all which has historically been one of their strong suits, and other players like Justin Morneau have just been non-existent.

Still MIGHTY Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 RambleThat was rich. Pot. Kettle.----------Anyway, huge (read: YUUUUUUUGE) series for the AL West starts tonight in Anaheim for Rangers/Angels.Rookie Garret Richards makes his second start. First start, Yankee Stadium, got knocked around a bit but it's out of the way. Gonna need G-Rich to shake it off, because this is another big game. Really throwing this kid into the fire in his first few games, but I want to see how he responds. And he needs to be good going against Ogando tonight. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClevelandHockey Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Thank you based Thome. Please hit 600 against the kitties.Thome's hit 2 HR tonight against the Tiggers.I guess he's still an Indian at heart. What really gets me is the "great fan" stuff. It's sad to think of our country as a "Steeler Nation", because that would mean that we're a country of near-sighted inbreds from the mountains that can't speak competent English.Let's go Brownies!You mad because the Tribe is stylin' on you?

WJMorris3 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Sorry, can't put Thome in the hall. We're not 100% sure that he didn't use steroids - shame he's playing in this era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 This is about how I feel right nowI've no idea why he unitentionally-intentionally walked McCann with four pitches in the right-handed batter's box. He could have tried to pitch McCann with pitches below the knees and try to get a double-play ball out of it. It's generally not a smart move to put the "winning run" baserunner into scoring position by walking guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmoehrin Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Has there ever been a less-hyped milestone of significance? Congrats to Thome.That's been the problem with the steroid era. Its cheapened the home run so much that a guy getting 600 HR's isn't a big deal. I mean Thome's good, but how does a guy with over 600 HR's only win one Silver Slugger award? But I feel that sums up Jim Thome in a nutshell. Career numbers look good, but when you look closer, don't find what you would expect from a 600 home run hitter.Top ten in HR nine times. Leads the league once. Top ten in RBI's three times. Top ten in OPS ten times and leads the league once.Compare that to someone like Harmon Killebrew who's top ten in home runs 13 times and leds the league 6 times. Top ten in RBI's 10 times and leads the league 3 times. And top ten in OPS 12 times.Yet Killebrew has lower career numbers then Thome across the board. If that ain't a sign at how much the times have changed, I don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fact is.. 600 home runs, is 600 home runs. 500 I can see.. but not 600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
