    God, what an insult to fans with a brain. How would they explain to people why they offered him anything above $0 then?

    Aiken wasn't referenced directly that I could hear. Regardless, myself and another person with me knew exactly what was going on. Could be coincidence, but I doubt it. Even if coincidence it makes the organization appear tone deaf. I wish I had caught the doctor's name that appeared on screen. If it was Litner that'd be even weirder.

    Wow! I feel for the guy, though. My wife left me for a man with a bigger UCL.

    That's what happens when you don't get the MRI before the wedding. My condolences. :grin:

    Withe exception of one terrible 5 game stretch, Fields has been spectacular this year. 0.65 ERA in the 28 innings since his recall with 42 K's.

    Agreed, he's gotten way too much flack. Solid starter.

    Gas Can qualls strikes again. Feel bad for Feldman. Pitched a heck of a game and this bum can't protect a 3 run lead.

    Good teams find a way to win these games... and bad teams find a way to lose, I guess...

    Ok... but not a closer either. ;)

    I think Porter should make yet another pitching change here... or bring in a pitcher to play a position and just sub them in and out again so we can read several more articles about how "smart" that was.
