As super utility guys go, Justin Turner > B _Rock Holt, and it's not even close.

Anybody have HBO? Seen the new series The Brink? I can't tell if I like it or not yet -- has some funny Dr Strangelove feel to it -- but I can tell that I think I'd like to bang Carla Gugino.

Ohhh fuqyaaaa!!!! Luv that woman! She got nekked in Sin City, too! I'll watch the shittiest movie in the world, if she's in it.

Spoiler

Let me google that for you

Chris Sale ... 6 K's ... streak over and he'll share the record with "Who's Your Daddy".

Got the deserved win against the most potent lineup in baseball last nite, anyway.

That is not the question to ask. Holt has played 10 or more games at six different positions this year. But, he is done that out of team necessity stemming from the fact that so many of the Red Sox starting position players have had health and/or productivity issues. The Dodger's starting position players have been more con sistent and more healthy. Turner has primarily only had to play positions this year. But he has played every position on the diamond except catcher and pitcher.

Turner can play as many positions as Holt, and he plays those positions better for the most part. At 2nd and 3rd this year, he has 4 errors in 124 chances. Holt has 4 errors in half as many chances (62) at the same positions.

15th in the AL in ERA and 16th in WHIP. I wouldn't call that 'great'. Above average, but not great. He is currently trending in a good direction but there is no guarantee that he will continue to ttrend that way for the remaindder of the year. There are never any guarantees with Caly Butthurtz.

It's kinda empty. I like Tim Robbins' character.

Gugino is a babe - she was on Entourage for a while and always looked amazing.

All 4 White Sox runs unearned. Reyes had the most Reyes night ever.

Yeah, I know ... it's the only way our absolutely putrid offense can get runs.

Hold on there. I said it's a shitty situation when you have to count on him as the team ace, which it is.

He's always been either ineffective, or broken. The next full season he pitches will be his first.

yup. but its a contact year, and the mets will pay him a hu's fortune.

If I remember correctly -- which I'm pretty sure I do -- you took umbrage with me on FN when I said it wasn't smart for the Blue Jays to sign Reyes.

Somewhat true. He eitther miises startss or he is ineffective. He has put togehter a complete, effective season yet and he is 32 years old now. maybe this is the year.

For what, to be the bullpen coach?

I know the Mess are stoopit, but they ain't "hey y'all, watch me light a firecracker on my head" stewpit

Well, maybe I was a little hasty...how many Tommy John's has he had?

Gotta admit, I like this style of saying something is somewhat true, and then explaining how it's exactly true.

Gottam! I cannot believe Amaro Jr. Still has a job.

If I owned the Phillies, I'd have shit canned him before the ink was dry on the Howard contract.
