It's been a few weeks since the last soccer fanshot. In that time, we've had one of the biggest controversies in the last decade or so and Liverpool have failed to make it out of the group stages of the CL.

Padilla gets accidentally shot in the leg. I shit you not.
Further proof that Vicente's one of the greatest minds of our generation.
Another report says he was shot by his bodyguard, which would be delightfully ironic.

New soccer thread.
North London Derby that wasn't quite as thrilling as I had hoped, but a bunch of interesting results this weekend, including Liverpool losing away to Fulham.
If anyone but Hicks/Gillette owned the club, Rafa would be gone by now.

Theo Epstein talks to 2 generic radio guys and attempts to dispel the following myths (and more) over the course of 9 minutes: A. The notion of HR/RBI as performance indicators, B. The notion that playing through pain is beneficial, C. The notion that there is anything more important than not making an out offensively.

Minors - 08/11
Ross: 5/6/3/3/1/4. 6:4 GB:FB.
Wilmer Font continues to put up aesthetically appealing lines with mildly worrying peripherals. 5/2/0/0/3/4, 2:9 GB:FB Ratio. 3 of the K's came in the 1st inning when he gave up a leadoff triple and proceed to punch out the next 3 batters.

Minors 08/09
Boscan had a nice outing today: 5/4/1/1/0/6, 6:2 GB:FB. Cody Eppley (??) and Castillo got bombed by WV though, resulting in a 9-4 loss for the Crawdads. Cristian Santana hit a pair of bombs.
Aside from the exorbitant amount of flyballs, a typical outing from Beavan so far. 6/9/1/1/1/3, 4:11 GB/FB.

Minors 8/8
Namirez: 4/7/3/2/3/4. Ran into trouble in the 4th/5th...I'm starting to feel like a cock for continuing to value the guy as highly as I do.
FRS - 7:00 - Kirkman (ON TV)
Kirkman: 6/2/1/1/4/3. Moreland: 0-2 BB, Whittleman: 1-2, RBI, BB.

Minors - 08/07
Matt Thompson: 5/3/2/1/0/1. 7:7 GB:FB. Tommy Mendonca continues to hit well, going 2/3 with a K.
HIC - 6:00 - Brigham LOOOOOOOOOOOOL DIRK
Brigham gave up a hit and a walk in 4 innings. No punchouts though. Martin Perez only went one, and per Ben Badler (hat tip to Scott Lucas), it's because they're starting to limit his innings. Perez was working 93-95 touching 96 in his one inning, meaning if I have my calculations right, he should be throwing around 110 when he's 21.
Kasey Kiker melted down in the 4th, ending up with a line of 3/7/6/6/2/4. He faced 6 batters in the inning, getting none out. Moreland: 2/5.
Chris Davis has three walks in the first 5 innings, I shit you not. Smoak's 0/3 though.

Good night to keep an eye on the farm
Ross - 4/3/1/1/2/5. 7:0 GB:FB. Ridiculous. Threw a bunch of pitches in the 3rd/4th (including one marathon 14 pitch AB), so he was taken out a bit early. Mendonca went 1/3 with a 2B, HBP and 2 K's, so pretty much business as usual for him lately.
Wilmer - 5/7/2/2/2/4. 8:3 GB:FB. Hickory racked up 6 runs in the first...hooray for run support.
Ballard's getting slapped around by the fairly beastly looking Midland lineup; Chris Carter really needs to calm down. Moreland: 2-4, 3B, 2RBI.
Smoak - 1/3, 2B, BB, RBI. Davis - 1/4. Dana Eveland put up quite a unique line tonight: 8/11/9/9/2/8.

Minors - 07/18
Nobody really exciting taking the bump today. I wish Feliz was still starting, because the only starters I'll stop down for these days are Perez, Font and Ross.
Bad night for Boscan, as he put up an ugly line of 4/7/4/3/1/2. Jefry Marte made his 35th error in 92 games this year, but Leury Garcia said "You ain't seen shit son" and made his 20th error in 43 games.
What happened to Beltre? Not in the lineup again.
Kiker put up a pretty strong line: 7/5/3/3/2/5. Strop pitched the final 2, giving up 2 hits (no runs) and striking out 2. Moreland went 2/5.
Davis with a homer, double and a K in 4 PAs so far. Moscoso: 6/6/3/1/1/9...2:7 GB:FB ratio though. Smoak's 0-3 and Borbon's 1-4.
