Nah we need to show our guts when the going gets tough

The only thing demoralizing is mathematical elimination

When you have a chance to get a guy like Sean Gallagher, you take it!

That catch just saved the game.

That is no Jeremy Giambi or Terrence Long out there, ladies and germs.

Then I suggest you

root for the Yankees or perhaps the Red Sox if winning is your bottom line.

When did the Red Sox become the symbol of "winners"?

And the Yankees have the same record we do

Seriously, don't get me wrong

I love the young guys like Sweeney and Suzuki and CarGon and our pitching and overall heart. I just want to win period. I like our fight but we need to win games like this and that Angels game before the break.

I'm just being realistic

Davis, Hannahan, Murphy, Crosby, etc. can’t hit. I pull for Cust but he’s hitting below .220 now. I really want to like this team but this lineup is anemic with all the injuries.

The little "blue" mark on gamecast looked like it was going to be a basehit.

I hate waiting on graphics to tell me what in the hell is going on.

at first I thought that said "streak,"

and I wasn’t sure how much Carlos would appreciate that…

Whew.

The Patrol Craft went all “Rickey snatch catch circa 1989” on that one.

Why is DiNardo in before Andrew Brown?

ot: to AAAA trades addressing needs with other teams

To the Rangers: Dan Meyer for Nelson Cruz, they need pitchers, we need outfielders with pop
To the Marlins: Landon Powell for Dallas McPherson, they need catchers, we need 3b/outfielders with pop
