I hope the Rays become a perennial power and that we perennially destroy them.

Let’s go Tribe!

If you were good enough, maybe we'd name it after you.

Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

any else having a problem getting the radio feed?

by oaksterdam on Aug 5, 2008 7:25 PM EDT   0 recs

is the radio feed free? if so, where do i access it?

by c9kay32 on Aug 5, 2008 7:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

not free, i’m afraid. available from mlb.com, just like the tv feed.

by oaksterdam on Aug 5, 2008 7:27 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Probably should have caught that, no? Not that it was easy, but was it out of his reach?

Seems Jose Vidro was DFA’d.

by obobcatu on Aug 5, 2008 7:27 PM EDT   0 recs

I thought he was going to revolutionize the DH position though…

by Fundamentals on Aug 5, 2008 7:50 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He did. A designated hitter is someone who has displayed talent at hitting. Jose Vidro revolutionized it by displaying almost no talent at hitting.

Free at last! Free at last! Andy Marte is free at last!

What’s with the control issues this year? He walked 61 last year in 215 innings, but that’s not excessive. Consider that Cliff Lee walked 81 in 179 innings in 204.

by xrickx on Aug 5, 2008 7:28 PM EDT   0 recs

looks like we got Bad Rex today.

Shoppach now at 4 of 27 on the year. Not all his fault, but where’d the cannon go?

ugh, gameday not working either. can someone give me the pbp for this half inning?

by oaksterdam on Aug 5, 2008 7:33 PM EDT   0 recs

got the radio, but how did the run score?

by oaksterdam on Aug 5, 2008 7:33 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Sac Fly by some guy. Shoppach threw the ball into CF on a steal attempt allowing the runner to get to 3b.

by obobcatu on Aug 5, 2008 7:34 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

espn gamecast is working, might wanna try that

by c9kay32 on Aug 5, 2008 7:35 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

good idea. mlb.com is very frustrating

by oaksterdam on Aug 5, 2008 7:36 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

(Read bottom-to-top)

Longoria struck out swinging.
Upton to third on Shoppach´s throwing error.
Upton stole second.
Pena hit sacrifice fly to left, Iwamura scored.
Upton walked.
Iwamura tripled to center.

WHAT is O’Dowd doing over there? I know things came together last season, but that was such a fluke. His whole body of work is unimpressive, this year included.
