It's easy to say "Barton's been unlucky"

when he’s robbed with a diving catch, but when you look at that last AB, the only reason it was catchable was that Payton was playing so incredibly shallow – which has to do with Barton’s rather putrid slugging pct.

I've seen Barton fly out to the warning track in left field more than a few times this year

Jay Payton’s just a really good defender who can afford to play shallow.

Oh c'mon AN, you're slipping. How did nobody not jump in here and say:

And then some.

England should beat Andorra 300-0 on talent alone…..so to scrape an unconvincing 2-0 victory says it all.

I’m starting to think it’s just the players though, and nothing to do with the manager – under the last three managers (Eriksson, McClaren and Capello) they’ve played the same tired, slow, indecisive tripe. We ain’t winning anything with this bunch.

I wanted to say - Jay was kind of like Emil in that way

99% suckage, and just when you thought the team would finally ditch him, he would do something just well enough to make the team feel obligated to keep him.

actually he played reasonably well in 2006

That wasn't too bad of a move by AJ

Because with 2 outs, a runner on second is about the same as a runner on third. It was a mistake, but not a terrible one. Especially because Griffey is up and Griffey blows.

Is anybody else totally stoked about the new Brian Regan special on Comedy Central tonight?

For us eastern/central people, it’s on in 7 minutes. I’m giddy with excitement.

Use a weaker reliever here (i.e. Casilla, Embree, etc.)

The past few days, Hannahan's actually been good defensively

Maybe I should criticize his offense as harshly as I have his defense.

Weird?? I watched a really stupid pilot on UHD today.

Sex, Love and Control (or something similar) and she was the main star. Horrible show… but it was soooo bad that I watched the entire hour.

A sweep, no less

I’m assuming that the first game rain-out won’t be made up.

Did you know that after Pauley made a nice diving play,

Josh threw one to ’Lexi to end the inning? There is nothing as absurdly unprofessional as the White Sox “broadcasters”.

he wasn't listed as starting in Detroit

I don’t remember the order, but I do remember that Gonzalez, Eveland and Gallagher are pitching in that series..

No game tomorrow?

Because the O’s owners don’t want to compete with the Ravens, as if there is competition! The O’s haven’t been good in 20 years, and I think it’s bull that the owner can change games like this. Totally messes up the A’s. I say stick to the schedule! Nice job by the nibbler tonight!

Heaven forbid there be a traffic inconvenience

Better to cancel a game entirely.

If only there were inventions like shuttles,

or concepts like carpooling. But I suppose America hasn’t made it quite that far in its progress.
