QUOTE (farmteam @ May 5, 2008 -> 05:52 PM) IU gets Verdell Jones from Champaign. WOW. I know they weren't even in the picture before Crean got there. Thought Tubby had him wrapped up for Minnesota for sure.

QUOTE (The Critic @ May 5, 2008 -> 02:50 PM) Win/Win. WWE loses a s***ty announcer, and the Eastern Seaboard Propaganda Network gains a s***ty announcer. Coach was bad when they first hired him, but when they turned him heel, I kind of liked some of the stuff he did. I remember him selling the green mist from Tajiri in a backstage segment and laughing my ass off. Than they put him on SD and he was awful.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2008 -> 07:04 PM) Adam Dunn just hit one of the longest homers I've ever seen when watching live. Has it landed yet? Thought when he hit it, it was out of the park.

Did Joe Morgan just say, "Fukudomo"?

Not really embarassing but in my 3rd year at SIU, I was tired of paying for hair cuts so I just shaved my head, hoping to look sweet. Yeah, not so much. I have a bumpy cranium. Maybe I'll grow into it someday.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 4, 2008 -> 12:30 PM) The LATEST Dark Knight trailer. Very heavy on Eckhart and Ledger, a lot of speech from both. http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=15813 Wow, it's even better than the first. Chills throughout. Wow. I like the previous trailer better but they both rule.

Does Kalapse know the contract status of Hawk? Hilarious how he ignores the fact that Thome had a chance to tie the game up in the 8th with a single and failed aain, but continues to blame a play 5 innings ago.

That was nasty. Tough to lay off or foul off.

Dye will line into a triple play. I'm sure of it.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2008 -> 01:05 PM) Fun tidbit I just heard: K. Gibson knew from advance scouting that Eckersley was going to throw a 3-2 backdoor slider. I heard that a few years ago.

DP coming up for Paulie, I bet.

I should keep up the thick pessimism. It's working.

Don't even make him throw strike 3, it's inevitable.

Bet we strand him.

Hawk is a buffoon.

Cubs send Rich Hill to AAA Iowa. I have a feeling he is in Pinella's dog house and we may not see him for awhile. Leiber will start now.

Dumb Phillie fans. Booing Ryan Howard.

I wanna see Webb win 30 games.

Richmond will go to Illinois, unfortunately for Illini fans. He is very loyal there and will not back out. He needs to worry about playing high school ball and where he will be next year.

Gameday has all of Linebrink's pitches in the strike zone, is he getting squeezed?

Solo Homers FTW

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 3, 2008 -> 12:47 PM) I hate Jim Thome. There, I've said it again. It has nothing to do with him, he'll get his stats but he's not a winner. I f***ing hate "sluggers". Give me hitters who can also hit for power. Guys like Adam Dunn, Jim Thome are losers plain and simple. They don't know how to truly hit and because of that it is all "hit" or "miss" with them. I still say the offense has a lot of the tools, it just needs a bit of a tweaking (ie move Thome or Konerko and make some adjustments and try to get yourself a legit leadoff hitter so you can move Swisher down in the lineup). I'm with you and everyone else who agreed on the subject. Good guy, but too one dimensional. I remember him with Cleveland and every time he came up in the 8th or 9th, he did something awesome. With us, nothing.

Sweet, now we can have a bunch of guys come up and try and hit 5 run homers.
