What would you do if the Jason Hervey (From "The Wonder Years")-looking Gordon Beckham & Brent Morel continue to struggle miserably at the plate? Would you send them both to Triple "A" Charlotte and take your lumps with Mark Teahen & Omar Vizquel at third, Vizquel and Brent Lillibridge at second base?

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

I bet you wish he was with The Otter....in HELL

I was hoping for a Satan Elf picture, so that is a win

SHARK's hatred of John "The Otter" Forsyth, win

1 MICKEY CHARLES MANTLE reference, win

stoneroses appearance, win

Also, SHARK, I think you need to accept the fact that Adam Dunn is going to strike out 1-2 times a game. It comes with the territory.

Well, I guess that will happen when you do not play nearly your entire career with a shredded anterior cruciate ligament.

This reminds me of an interesting fact. Beethoven never won a grammy award, while Lady Gaga has. Chipper Jones is like Lady Gaga, while Mickey Charles Mantle is like Beethoven.

A Dunn DH
A Rios CF
R Castro C
G Beckham 2B
B Morel 3B

Jackson P

SHARK! is very upset that somebody is not reading SHARK'S! posts. Here is the correct lineup, with BITE!

18 Brent "Who is John Galt?" Lillibridge LF
10 Alexei "All work is an act of philosophy" Ramirez SS
20 Carlos "Guilt is a rope that wears thin" Quentin RF
14 Paul "Rationality is the recognition of the fact that nothing can alter the truth and nothing can take precedence over that act of perceiving it" Konerko 1B
32 Adam "So you think that money is the root of all evil? Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?" Dunn DH
51 Alex "I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine" Rios CF
27 Ramon "Until and unless you discover that money is the root of all good, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to become the means by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of other men. Blood, whips and guns--or dollars. Take your choice--there is no other" Castro C
15 Gordon "Pride is the recognition of the fact that you are your own highest value and, like all of man’s values, it has to be earned" Beckham 2B
22 Brent "An inventor is a man who asks 'Why?' of the universe and lets nothing stand between the answer and his mind" Morel 3B

2nd & 3rd nobody out and no one scores.......poor job by the coaching staff and players

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

They can't afford to leave this many guys on base early in the game against a guy like Sabathia but they've been doing it all road trip so why stop now.

Its safe to say those stranded runners may come back to haunt us. What the hell was Lillibridge thinking?

I want this as my signature.

Also, Jackson has managed 2ER on 0 hits.

He's gonna throw that no hitter, National League style!

He didn't wanna....

This team really really really needs to kick ass at home. We got lucky that the Tigers just got swept by the Mariners and the Twins are about to lose the third in a row.

Kick ass?? At this point I'll settle for not playing like a bunch of assholes.

Adam "So you think that money is the root of all evil? Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value.

Bad night for Chicago baseball.

Bad month for Chicago baseball. It's gotta get better. This can't go on all summer.

Its pretty poor that they can't score runs with 0 out and runners in scoring position, but I'll take a split in Yankee Stadium. I think they go 4-2 on this upcoming homestand.

Well, this has been a very fun time talking about baseball.

Do not forget! Wednesday, August 3, 2011! I will be buying free beers for anybody who shows up in and around Section 134 of Comiskey Park, and who is not my enemy. I have a few enemies here, and I will refuse to buy them beers. If you think that you are my enemy, then you probably do not need to ask. Let me assure you, there was never any doubt in my old neighbor Pigman's mind that he was my enemy. If you do ask, however, I will be brutally honest with you. So you have that going for you, which is very good.

Just to take one example: Redskin Greg has called me crazy. That is a very BAD way to accomplish the acquisition of free beers. If Redskin Greg shows up and asks for his free beer, I will laugh in his face while exhibiting a fierce and evil sneer. I will not, however, fight him because my son will be with me. I am not Ligue! Laugh out loud! Another example: I have mercilessly made fun of Eaglo Jeff for being a terrible poster, but being a terrible poster does not make him my enemy, and I would buy him a beer.

May the peace and tranquility of this Easter season continue to bless each and every one of you with good fortune and great serenity. Adieu!

How do you buy a beer if its free?
