Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2006 I think tonight's game should finally convince Narron to stop trying this cutesy act with Denorfia and just start Freel every game. I think alot of Cincy's fans are starting to learn that questioning Krivsky is a waste of time since it appears that "stupid" trade ended up being a good thing (as of right now).

Cutesy act with Denorfia? The kid's got a future. If he didn't, the Reds wouldn't have been able to trade Kearns. The smart thing in the long run might be to move Dunn to first, Griffey to a corner, and play both Denorfia and Freel in the outfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2006 Didn't see anybody mention it, but the Padres traded two minor league pitchers to the Cubs for Scott Williamson. Good for him. He's a nice guy. Deserves to be on a contender. He went to high school at the front of my neighborhood. Go Friendswood Mustangs~! In other news, sources are now saying that the Astros aren't likely to trade Morgan Ensberg (although I still could see a trade go down with the Padres for Linebrink), but it's a mystery as to when Ensberg will actually play again. He's eligible to come off the DL in a couple days, but probably won't. In still other news, Jason Hirsch, the crown jewel of the Astros' farm system and one of two guys that should be considered "off-limits" in any trade, even for, dare I say...A-Rod, has extended his scoreless inning streak to 41.1 innings.

Guest NYankees Report post Posted July 23, 2006 Hawk is so fucking annoying. Crede hits a flyball near the first base dugout, and he says, "Get out of here." Damn homer. Hawk was recently on WFAN last week with Mike and the Mad Dog. Hawk was telling about the days in the past when the White Sox were the favorites among most people from Chicago and that they were the hometown team. He came off as the biggest Homer ever during that interview. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2006 Funny thing about "The Hawk" is he never played for the White Sox and he grew up in South Carolina so he really had no allegiance with the White Sox before they hired him, originally as the team's general manager. He did though play for the Red Sox and was a local radio announcer for them at one time. I've been watching the 1975 World Series DVD set and the network announcers even quote Harrelson a couple of times during the series with his gushing comments about the Red Sox. Basically he's nothing more than a hired gun with a schtick. If he had become a an announcer for the Twins, Rangers, Paders, or whomever he'd have the same old tired schtick. He knows who signs his paycheck and he's never going to say a bad thing about them and that's why the ownership keeps him around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2006 Just got back from Chicago and while I felt like a traitor even being in the Cell, it was good times openly cheering for the Rangers and when they played clips of the Tigers beating Oakland. For all the miraculous comebacks the team's made this year, these "faithful" fans bolted towards to exits after Mench's three-run shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2006 I haven't been online since Thursday, but I glanced at the lineup the Cubs had today; John Mabry: Cleanup hitter? Awesome.

When Harrelson took over the White Sox, they had finished above .500 four of the last five seasons. Harrelson lasted one year. The White Sox lost 90 games in his year, and then lost 90 again the next season. As a bonus, he ran Tony LaRussa out of town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Red Sox-White Sox game is actually the only time Hawk Harrelson is remotely tolerable, since he kinda goes easy on the "Carmines." I mean, he still goes "HE GAWN," and "okay here's Paulie......yeah...get 'em, Paulie!" and generally sounds like some guy watching TV in his underwear, but he doesn't go "rrmmm. hmmmrunn. sixfourtigers" or bitch about every bad call like he usually does.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2006 Something I haven't complained about yet. The Phillies are now carrying 13 pitchers. This is overkill to the worst degree. Is Rick White really so important to the franchise that we can't keep Sal Fasano around, or otherwise carry five bench players? The beauty of Chris Coste is that he can play the infield corners as well as catch. With just two catchers, Charlie Manuel will not play Coste anywhere else, for fear of gatting caught without a backup catcher in case Lieberthal gets hurt. Our only backup infielder is currently hitting .150, well below the Tomas Perez line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially given Fabio Castro has been acquired and since made two appearances in a month. Who did he piss off exactly? The only thing I can thing I think you can hope for is that they plan on trading at least one reliever (please move Cormier given the ridiculous price middle relief is fetching) and will then bring up a position player.
