QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 07:22 PM) A lot of guys are gifted athletes. He needs to do something besides dunk and do a decent job shooting 3's to be a top guy on a contender. He has the tools you can work with though. Not gonna write off a kid that young just yet. Steph Curry had the same issues coming out about learning to play the point and he was getting 36 minutes as a rookie the same age as LaVine.The only things I question with LaVine is his basketball I.Q. and if he cares enough to be passible defensively.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 07:14 PM) That would have been awful for the Bulls. LaVine is a 6th man on a legit team. Well, maybe not because JR Smith and Richard Jefferson just started for the champs, but I don't see him being a key contributor. He's 21. Way too early to be saying that. Kid is a very gifted athlete. Now, obviously that's not saying much since a lot of athletes bust, but the upside is much bigger than a 6th man.

Thibs with the troll job.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 06:46 PM) I have 0 faith in this organization period. Fixed.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 08:46 AM) If Sox win while Shields throws a QS, you all owe me lunch. Let's sweep these guys! It's like you are giving your streak away on a platter. Here's hoping though..

Kane wins the Hart and Ted Lindsay to go along with his Art Ross. What a year for 88. Panarin wins the Calder.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 07:18 PM) Much rather have Bradley and rather give up Q ... why?

Hopefully Grant turns into something. Cause right now I'm questioning what this franchise is trying to do. No draft picks? One young player? Are we still competing?

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 11:22 AM) It may be. My comment was about the "wins don't matter." He has had a great year and could be the best pitcher but the lack of wins does need to be considered. Obviously the journalist/voters do. That's why a couple of us were dismissive of quinarvy about Quintana and the Cy Young when a lot of us know, it'll be Sale since he has the wins. Hell, Sale had s great shot a couple of years ago and actually put up better peripherals but lost. Same with Kershaw vs Arrieta last year.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 11:17 AM) Anything is possible. This is why you need to look at everything and not discount the wins. I haven't followed Hammel's games as I don't follow the Cubs. Maybe he is winning so many and pitching awful because of a great offense. You are totally wrong about this, but you are stubborn. I'll let the other guys have at it. I'm going to bed. I mean you just mentioned offense which is what others were already saying. But hey... anything is possible.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 11:05 AM) Yes. So tell me why a guy like Jason Hammel can get 7 wins and he barely averages 6 innings a start.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 10:58 AM) You should care. Is part of the reason he is the best pitcher by the metrics due to his only pitching 5 to 6 innings a game? This in turn puts his team at a big disadvantage to put lesser talented pitchers in the game, put more stress on the bullpen and cause his team to lose more games because the more talented pitcher has less of an effect on the outcome of the game. Do you watch the games? His starts?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 07:47 AM) Another must win with Shields on the mound tomorrow. Hopefully the offense can score more than one run for Quintana today. Heh.. if we win tonight, it's almost like the baseball gods are daring him to make a GT tomorrow.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 06:45 AM) My dad was trying to tell me LeBron easily ranks under Kareem, Wilt, Magic, Bird...Then he pulled out Russell, West and Baylor...Then Kobe and played the "I saw them play!" card. I also done a s*** ton of NBA history research. I still say only MJ and aKareem have concrete spots above him. Jordan is automatic and I can buy Kareem, Wilt and maybe Magic. But if people like it or not, Russell will always have a leg up with the media and such cause of the 11 championships. I don't agree with it, but it is what it is. Pretty much why rankings are meaningless minus the top 3. People will put LeBron around 3-10 still.

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 12:14 PM) Brian WindhorstVerified account ‏@WindhorstESPN 48m48 minutes ago The Phildelphia 76ers have informed Ben Simmons they will select him with the No. 1 pick Thursday, source says (@ChrisBHaynes 1st) Quite the crowded backcourt they have now. Someone has to go and they really need a PG...........

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 02:11 PM) Newsday Hockey scribe: Hearing Blackhawks seriously kicking tires on Evgeni Malkin. Will be interesting to see how they create cap space... I still don't buy it I think this guy put it best. Depressing, yet true. https://mobile.twitter.com/CheerTheAnthem/s...330029899431936 @CheerTheAnthem Price would be Saad, Tuevo, Johns, Dano and Danault

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 09:52 PM) I wonder why Eddy was so bad in April? Doesn't make sense. ... really?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 12:23 PM) He wouldn't be close and prepare for an all star snub possibility too. I love Q, but get real. Yep. And it should be pretty obvious too.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 09:03 PM) Why give him anything good to hit? Heh.. forget it. He's on a roll today with his posts.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 12:11 AM) They must have a lot of confidence in him to send him straight to A+. Sox have always been aggressive with their prospects. I still can't believe they sent Anderson to Kanny straight out of JUCO for example.

Great to see Zangari bounce back. It seems everyone I call out a spect, the next day he does well. It's been like that for 12 years now.

Zach Duke, Avila and Abreu gave us this win.

Melky doing Melky things.

I can't believe they pitched to Abreu. I don't even think Robin does that.

Zach freaking Duke pulling an El Duque.
