July 23rd @ Chicago

[DrewDaGreat]

I think a healthy Wade Miller could be a legit #2.

[bigpapi349]

well just worthy pointing out he was in the national league the first 6 seasons of his career, then moving to a different team and league altogether plus having frayed rotator cuff, sometimes its all just mental

 

true. i dont think anymore major trades (burnett, romero) will happen for atleast 2 more days maybe even up to the deadline.

[ORS]

Miller at the top of his game is better than Arroyo at the top of his. They hit similar velocities on the gun, but Miller's FB has much more movement. Both have excellent curves. If the deal involves Arroyo, Miller becomes our #5. I'd like to have a #5 that can throw like he did tonight.

[riverside sluggers]

see how his stuff is, friday july 29, game 1 against Minnesota Twins at home. where his ERA is better--Im optimistic, because he is known to have great second halfs, and Ive been startin to see something since the win against the Texas Rangers

[DrewDaGreat]

That's all true riverside, but I think it's still just the injury. I think next season or maybe(hopefully) later this season we will see the old Wade Miller, no matter what league he's in.

pretty good if he could do wat he did in 2002 again this year and next

[DrewDaGreat]

He was also 16-8 in 2001. And in '04, he was only 7-7, but his ERA was 3.35. This guy would be known across the league as a great pitcher if he wasn't so damn injury prone.

[DrewDaGreat]

Esteban Yan in for LAAAAAAAA.

[riverside sluggers]

lets see that 3.86 ERA of his in action and hold down the yanks

[CrespoBlows]

Maybe. I wouldn't give up any of our top prospects for him. I don't even wanna give up Bronson, but I probably would.

 

I'd trade Arroyo, he's never going to be dominant, he's a decent starter who'll post a 3.80-4.20 ERA each year. Burnett on the other hand has the chance to be a 2.50-3.00 with that stuff.

[bigpapi349]

im out. hopefully LA's pen can shut down the yankees till the 9th. then K-rod strikes out the side in order

cya

agreed completely

I keep hearing about this "stuff" he has. Then, why isn't he a better pitcher. Why is ERA over 5 on the road. I'm lost...

[DrewDaGreat]

Inning over for the yanks...

[ORS]

Just checked Burnett's away splits, his ERA is 3.84 on the road.

over the last 3 years? On ESPNnews I heard it was over 5 for the last 3 seasons.

[ORS]

He has been injured prior to this year, and I'm more of a "What have you done lately" kind of guy.

[DrewDaGreat]

ERA on road:

 

5.09 in 2004.

4.36 in '03.

4.06 in '02.

 

I must of heard over 4, not 5. Still, that is not good, not good at all.

[DrewDaGreat]

Gary flies out. gAy Rod strikes out. Matsui singles.

[DrewDaGreat]

Roider homers. 8-6.

[DrewDaGreat]

Posada grounds out. B7.

[RedSoxRooter]

Ok, 6 outs to a win. Let's go LAAOA!

[Youk Of The Nation]

Does anyone else think MLB Stock Photo of Cano makes him look like a Muppet?

[DrewDaGreat]

He's muppetish. Bottom 8, still 8-6 LAAAAAA

[Sox fan in Tex]

Are you kidding me? Is the game not honestly over yet?

[Sox fan in Tex]

Is Shields going to stay in the game for the ninth, does it look like?

[DrewDaGreat]

Figgins walks. 1 out.

[ORS]

Darren Erstad, aka David Duval, needs a hit here so Vlad can break some NY hearts again tonight.

[ORS]

Is it me, or is the wait on gameday aggonizingly long sometimes.

Got a hit, but Figgins blew it. Now Vlad lines out.
