Brouwer air-mails a check and lands awkwardly on his arm/shoulder. Didn't look good.

Big 3rd period here. Hawks finally woke up and got a goal in the 2nd.

QUOTE (High Mileage @ Apr 5, 2011 -> 07:48 PM) Serious question: who's homer was longer? Konerko or Alex Gordons? Jesus they were both hit a loooooonnnngggg way... Trib beat writer says Konerkos was 437, Gordon's 418. Not sure how official that is

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 5, 2011 -> 06:08 PM) Complaining about "having" to read a tweet. I complain about reading this post. Your complaint has been noted. Thanks for the constructive criticism.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 5, 2011 -> 03:35 PM) Well, Russ made a good point. If he has any dreams of backpacking through Europe or something, now is the time... Otherwise, I say time to start making some real money... I agree with this. If you have some money and can have some great adventure this summer, something once-in-a-lifetime, then go for it, and delay the job. But if you are just gonna waste away the summer doing little, you might as well start making money, especially since you sound genuinely excited for the job. You will still have the weekends to do stupid s*** and the vacation days will start to accrue right away.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 5, 2011 -> 05:51 PM) @NotHawk Hawk Harrelson First place is on the line tonight, so it's pretty much the most important game of the season. That NotHawk Twitter is something else. He can be pretty funny sometimes, especially during games, but how many times am I gonna have to read tweets about killing hookers?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 5, 2011 -> 03:55 PM) He'll be a first round pick. You think so? Unless there are different rules in the NBA, I don't see a team willing to give him and his attitude a guaranteed contract. He's obviously talented and athletic, but he's no all-world talent that you can't risk passing up.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 5, 2011 -> 03:00 PM) Jereme Richmond declares for the NBA. Well I hope he enjoys Europe because there is a pretty good chance he doesn't get drafted. Although I'm guessing he didn't have much choice in the matter and wasn't going to be welcomed back next year by the university. I just can't help but laugh. After all the hype and talk for 4 years, we get under 250 points scored, 6 games started, and 2 "DNP-Suspension" in the tournament. I guess all the rumors and whispers throughout his high school days were true.

Cashner had a great outing, but left after 72 pitches with tightness in his right shoulder

Aviles - 2B Cabrera - CF Gordon - LF Butler - DH Ka' Aihue - 1B Francouer - RF Escobar - SS Treanor - C Getz - 2B Hochevar - P

2 outs, runners on 2nd & 3rd, Fukudome gets ball 4 and Montero tries to throw out Koye Hill at 2nd base. Throw goes into CF, a run scores. Kirk Gibson might literally murder him when he gets in the dugout for that boneheaded throw

In the final coaches poll, UConn got 30 of 31 1st-place votes, someone gave Ohio State one, lol. and one person has the Illini 25th!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 10:13 PM) If you're a true baseball fan, trust me, it's worth it. I've got the extra innings package. I get bored with only the White Sox at times. I'm a baseball fan well before I'm a White Sox fan. I have enjoyed the free preview this week so much, I'm really thinking about ordering it. Even just being able to watch the 13-inning marathon between the Angels & freaking Royals was entertaining to me. Just having all that baseball available to watch is awesome.

Classic flick. Still have no idea how to use those damn 3 seashells

First place on the line!!!!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 5, 2011 -> 07:43 AM) LOL 41 points in the title game? Way to embarass yourself Butler. I don't even remember the last time I saw a team shoot under 20% in a regular season game, let alone the championship. Thank god I chose not to watch the game. Just reading the comments on Twitter was painful enough.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 5, 2011 -> 03:18 AM) No problem with that at all. Offense is my personal preference. Of course, I'd like the White Sox to win every game 10-0. But if I'm watching another game strictly for entertainment purposes with no emotional investment to whoever wins or loses, I'd rather see 15-18 runs with about 6 HRs sprinkled in over a 2-1 pitchers' duel. Then you might want to avoid all games pitched by the guy in your avy, not gonna see many HRs when he's on the mound.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 08:48 PM) It's fun when you get to root for Mariano Rivera. What's crazy is that his numbers the last three years (age 38-40) are seemingly better than his overall career numbers. As he gets older, he's just getting better, amazing.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 06:04 PM) The attendance was listed at 26,292...no freakin way... The DBack announcers said it was their lowest attendance since 2002. Yup, first time the "official" attendance was under 27k since 2002. Probably half that many people actually there. I don't know if those were ticket holders not showing up or tickets that the Cubs and their brokers purchased and were unable to sell to anyone.

Oakland WR Louis Murphy arrested for possession.....of Viagra

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) It's been, what, 3 games? Let's not turn him into Linebrink already. It's not us that are turning him into Linebrink, it's his god awful pitching that looks even worse than anything Linebrink threw.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 01:15 PM) It was right...alright. 12 Ks, no walks, and no home runs given up. That's -12x2/7. The constant portion of FIP is usually 3.11. -24/7 is larger than 3. So the variable portion had a larger magnitude than the constant portion, resulting in a negative FIP. It won't last long though. Gotcha. So bascially since he struck out a lot of guys, kept the ball in the park and avoided free passes, it would seem he pitched well enough to not give up any runs (or -0.32) but obviously that didnt happen. This sabermetric stuff is easy!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 01:31 PM) I know fathom mentioned this earlier, but these NL lineups are deplorable. Seems like every NL team outside of probably the Reds and Braves have 2-3 auto-outs to go along with, of course, the pitcher. I concur. And it seems like every NL lineup has a guy or two in it that I thought was out of baseball. (Or should be out of baseball)

I'm no sabermetrics expert, but something can't be right if Matt Garza's FIP after yesterday is -0.32.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 10:51 AM) That depends on how much you trust the friend. Really, your role is over once signed over, but you want to make sure he goes down to DMV, pays for the registration change and all that, and doesn't try to kill the President from your vehicle prior to ownership change. Gotcha, thanks. We are already taking off the license plates too before we even give it to him just to be sure.
