Nothing gets by you.

Edwin Jackson throws a no-hitter for Arizona. It took 149 pitches, and he walked 7 and hit a batter. Hope it was worth it when his arm falls off tomorrow.

Man this stat makes me sad...it'd be nice if our offense were actually scoring runs.

"The Cubs bullpen has a 2.80 ERA in June and has lowered that mark every month. The relievers had a 4.80 ERA in April and 3.96 ERA in May."

Prior still hoping to catch on with a team.

Wasn't Seattle supposed to be the hot team to watch in the AL this year? Well we lead them by a half game. Go figure.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Red Sox Sign Rich Hill
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [June 30, 2010 at 5:54pm CST]

The Red Sox signed Rich Hill to a minor league deal and assigned the lefty to Triple A, according to Pawtucket Red Sox radio broadcaster Dan Hoard (via Twitter). Hill, who had been pitching at Triple A Memphis for the Cardinals, could have opted out of his deal with the Cards at the end of May, but agreed to push the opt-out date back a month.

Hill has only made eight relief appearances in his five-year MLB career, but he has been coming out of the 'pen for the Memphis Redbirds this year. He has allowed just 35 hits in 46 innings and has recorded more than one strikeout per frame. As usual, Hill is walking too many hitters (5.9 BB/9). If he lowers his walk rate or the Red Sox need a lefty out of the 'pen, Hill could find himself in a major league uniform again this season.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I'm just glad the Cardinals didn't turn Hill into an All-Star.

If I'm not mistaken their offense has been almost as god awful as ours. And we still dropped two of three to them [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

These Red Sox injuries are getting unreal.

The Rockies just made a huge comeback to beat the Cardinals.

White Sox "All Over" Adam Dunn.

I'm not sure what the Sox could possibly give up to get Dunn. Their farm system blows.
