I know Spolstra was saying you have to move the ball against this Bulls team to be effective and he's right. The problem is, his team is more of a straight up ISO/one on one. You can't do that against this defense who is excellent in weak side help and even one on one. I haven't seen this defense play that well this year. Just straight aggressive in closing in, straight up, covering the passing lanes, diving for loose change, etc. The Heat bench is not good enough to go toe to toe with the Bulls bench.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 14, 2011 -> 01:24 PM) f*** that, I hope he gets away. That was impressive. As do I. Quite the story to tell as well. (especially the not getting caught part)

A.J.

One of my favorite prospects in the system Ryan Buch with a weird outing. Great BB:SO ratio though. QUOTE (JPN366 @ May 14, 2011 -> 11:11 PM) Well...yeah. I think it's time for him to move up, send Restovich packing. I agree. I thought he should of been in AAA to start the year. Showed great discipline last year and this year looks too good for AA.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 14, 2011 -> 04:58 AM) You release players who are bad. Tony Pena is bad. KW tryin to see if Pena is still the reliever he thought he was getting in the Brandon Allen trade.

QUOTE (OilCan @ May 13, 2011 -> 08:35 PM) Charles Leesman has now collectively pitched about a full year of AA ball, being pretty good. 17 games, 8-2 record, 93 IP, 69 hits allowed, 35 walks, 79Ks, roughly a 3.00 ERA in Birmingham. What is preventing him from being promoted to Charlotte? The sox are going to let him pitch a few more innings to fine tune. He'll be in AAA soon.

King Kong.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 12, 2011 -> 03:34 PM) A Carter is just not having a good season. Seems to me he's having more bad luck judging by his BABIP. The sleeper Gallagher with a nice OBP.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 12, 2011 -> 11:28 AM) Atlanta is relocating to Winnipeg, it's official. Good. Lets ask them not to match (or trade) Andrew Ladd too in the off-season to us. (rumors were he wouldn't sign if they relocated) QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 12, 2011 -> 11:40 PM) They'll get smoked by the nucks and you have to blow up that team at this point. Agreed and I think Boston is the only team that can actually beat the Canucks whose left.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 11, 2011 -> 03:59 AM) I don't think I could just up and become a Brewers fan or a fan of some other random team. And I'd certainly never become a Cubs fan. Interesting question though. Agreed completely. I'll discuss baseball with teams I like (for example Rockies or Rays) but I would not have the same rooting interest. If Sox left.. well.. it's Bulls, Bears (ugh..) B-Hawks for me.

Possibly 5 years eh? I guess he'll be on another version of "Around the Horn."

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ May 11, 2011 -> 09:00 PM) He will get hit by a pitch eventually He's been hit already once this year. It is quite odd to see him not have a walk yet, even for him who was never really a walks machine in the minors. (though not Viciedo bad)

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 12, 2011 -> 07:01 AM) Brandon Phillips has made a couple plays similar to Konerko's last night. That said, amazing play by PK. Not to mention Sam Fuld literally making 2 or 3 of the top plays of the year by himself. That was still a great play though by PK.

Danks sportin a .928 OPS.

Ugh Canucks advance.. I'm gonna throw up.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 10, 2011 -> 01:16 AM) DANKS DID NOT STRIKE OUT. He was the only player in the lineup that didn't. That is quite odd. And I really like Ryan Buch. Becoming one of my favorites to follow.

Dunn.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2011 -> 08:11 AM) Picture a 2nd adam dunn in the lineup right now. Not the good Adam Dunn, the post-appendix-removal Adam Dunn. that's effectively what Tyler Flowers would be. And I knew you couldn't resist replying after my quote.

Will be at work, so won't watch.. I don't like our chances this series.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 8, 2011 -> 01:45 PM) Oh last night was fun, fun fun fun fun QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 9, 2011 -> 02:16 AM) Great weekend. Can't complain either boys. Damn good weekend.

TCQ.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2011 -> 07:01 PM) Tyler Flowers would be hitting .150/.175 in the bigs and be on pace for 250 k's. And still would have a better OBP than A.J.

Usually the Bulls half court set has alot of movement creating match-up problems for the opposition. Tonight however, was give Derrick the ball at the top of the key and.. just watch.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 8, 2011 -> 07:07 PM) It's not even Thompson. It's just I have no faith in this franchise to develop anything. Which is kinda contradictory. Because then I would have to assume that Scheppers, Trout or Wilson wouldn't do s*** under our watch. But that's just more proof of how inadequate we are. I would say the pitching has developed better with us than the hitting. Hell not even whose currently with the org. but whose gone and had success. (like my boy Gio)
