Not only is that argument stupid even if Parrish came from the Yankees, Parrish came from the Orioles who haven't been in a pennant race since '97. I don't see how Parrish has been able to experience that pressure.

In the minors, he hit .377/.381/.525. No joke. Kid can hit.

looks like he can pitch too
by andyboi on Aug 18, 2007 6:28 PM PDT up reply actions
He still has alot of work to do as a pitcher.
His problem is that until recently, he hasn't had much of a third pitch. But he's been working on a change that seems to be coming along nicely.

Royals just beat the A's
Observations
- WOW! The M's are never on in my market! This is great!
- They've been telling me that the M's can't take a pitch all year. It's totally true. Ten batters and they must have taken all of three pitches.
- Why did Ozzie leave that guy out there? What a moron.

It kinda looked like he was caught with
Why is he being taken out?
Thome has a bomb and almost had another
i agree...
however, i've been semi-lurking all year and didn't come to fully appreciate your work until the first Red game. i was at the bar w/ my one mariner-friend and he was laughing about Red. Buti was thinking he was awesome. When i got home, the first thing i did was check this sight to see if anyone else noticed him.
You noticed, and i instantly became a full-time lurker. I recently began posting...
for no reason.

You can sign me up as a Jeff Weaver fan, that was another well pitched game, better than I'd expect from almost any other 4th starter out there. Breaking ball, thy name is Weaver, and he doth use you very well.
Two games back!
We're just two games back of the Angels! We finally won a game when one of our opponents lost! The Angels play the Yankees and Toronto after Boston! We play Minnesota and Texas! Things are looking up for our playoff chances right about now.
