QUOTE (DBAHO @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 04:13 AM) Before this season I would have taken CP3 over Rose for sure. But CP3 has got big time issues with his knees, and we all have seen what happens to a PG when you lose your quickness and can't beat anyone off the dribble (Agent Zero). Right now I'd probably just lean towards Rose, although I think CP3 is a better "pure" point guard. Agreed completely. And I actually hope Rose can reach Paul's 07-08 levels. People forget how incredible he was. (many would argue Kobe took his MVP)

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 07:20 AM) I don't know...Thornton's "fastball" looks slow...and he's essentially a 1 pitch pitcher. Without that dominating fastball, he's Jenks without the hammer...and that's a big problem. And I have no concerns about Pierre. He's an average outfielder, but dropping fly balls like he's been doing is clearly out of character for him. I agree about the flyballs, I was more talking about overall range, and judgment. and I'll hold off about the "lost MPH fastball" in early April. People were going crazy when Sale was at 92-93 just a couple of days ago.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 07:09 AM) Thornton worries me more than Pierre. He's been a decent defensive OF (minus the arm) his whole career, I don't think he permanently forgot how to catch a ball. He'll get his head in the right place and be fine. But closing is, IMO, a very different game, mentally. And I am not sure if Matt has the right mindset, nor am I sure he can find it. Some pitchers just don't. I actually feel the opposite. I predicted Pierre will have a down year defensively. So far he has in the early going, but again, it's early. I still think he will finish at a negative UZR however. Thornton will be fine. In fact, he is still the least of my worries in the bullpen.... when he's back to his set-up role, which I agree with your second part.

Randy Johnson scared the crap outta me and I wasn't even facing him in the batter's box. Easy choice for me.

I'm a big Gio fan. Always have been. I'll leave it at that.

TCQ.

Someone needs to have a Minnesota Wild avatar after that win. They showed amazing heart in that game.

Cheers Joe.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 07:15 PM) From what I've read, he's a raw speed/power type player, so I wouldn't compare him to Owens. I would say as far as a prospect, he reminds me of Luis Terrero. You can take that however you wanna take it.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 07:37 PM) We need Byfuglien. What he said. Bickell better start getting a mean streak and go to the net. Soft as a teddy bear. Though playing Vancouver again is... LOL.

I actually wnrt out on a date with a chick. I don't date at all, had a good time, drank, ate n s***. she was a co-worker;.. and she was blkack. (been a while since I dated part/half of my nationality)

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 04:37 PM) Nice Humber his curve is nasty He's always had a good curve. One of the reasons why he was such a high round pick.

I swear I will stay sober for a night anytime A.J. throws a runner out this season.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 04:30 PM) Can't Doug Eddings wave off that catch and call Juan safe? He is saving his magic for us in the late innings.

That was an amazing catch by Sam Fuld.

King Kong.

TCQ.

Ben Smith was outstanding. I was shocked when the Hawks initially sent him down earlier in the season. I thought he was a keeper. Solid two way player.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:25 PM) lol, I thought you were on a 17 minutes delay or something Ya my T.V. was off after the 8th cause I thought we had this one in the bag. Then I came on here and saw we gave up 5 runs so I had to watch it online which is a few minutes of straight gay delay.

Every team in Chicago has won tongiht. Lets go boys keep this trend going! EDIT: Nevermind. Figures.

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:18 PM) Man let it go, he's been awful in the role so far.. Sale should have been the closer, there was no reason to mess with a good thing.. I was calling for Sale too, but I can't even get mad about this one on Matt. He has looked like crap so far though I'll agree with, but it's still early on the season. I don't even think he's hit 96+ once yet either that I can recall.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:16 PM) 4 Well so far they got 5 runs only 2 earned on Thornton barring a change.

fathom's boy comming in to pitch.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:13 PM) That was a bomb. Oh well. We blew this one (unless somehow we win). Five unearned runs? Two are earned.
