Haha, holy s*** that was nasty. Wow.

Feliz's stuff is unreal, but he does have Carlos Marmol syndrome of walking guys. Once he is a bit more consistent in the strike zone, he'll be a stellar closer just like Marmol.

Pierre.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jun 1, 2010 -> 02:43 PM) He does have a nice wrister though...if he scores that's usually how he does it. He's rarely in a shooting lane though. He was a former 1st round pick for a reason (overdraft or not). I would say he is pretty much a bust now, but the guy does flash some talent.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 1, 2010 -> 12:03 PM) I think your tin foil hat is on a little too tight. Sure, there has been, but to assume or even bring it up for any random case is pointless. Not to mention I highly, highly doubt many people have even heard of Tyreke Evans, in fact.. I would bet other than true basketball fans, a common guy/fan wouldn't know who the hell he is.

If there is one thing I won't complain about Pierre, it is his defense. He has been stellar out there.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 1, 2010 -> 12:25 AM) Meh, I'm too selfish. I don't blame ya. It is nice to see a top prospect (no matter how weak our farm is) in AA (especially with that Barons team) do well. Lets wait till we see the results in AAA however before we put Morel into the picture.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ May 31, 2010 -> 10:11 PM) I understand that. I've thrown up gang signs in pictures too, it doesn't bother me. Now if he is out living a gang bangers lifestyle during the offseason that would be a different story. Your not the only one.. I didn't really throw up a gang sign per se, it was more or less a crew/click in high school (not the skater crew type sign, but close). I know where your comming from on this though, it is just bad for him cause he is now under a microscope for being a star athlete. (right Garnett?)

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 31, 2010 -> 11:07 PM) I can't imagine a sweep, but the Hawks should be able to get a split in Philly if they play their game, and that's all that is really needed. I can't even imagine the Hawks comming back to Chicago up 3-1 and winning what the city would be like. (especially with the guys here) My lord.. I won't complain if they close it out out there, but a micro-fracture part of me would like to see the Hawks win it back in Chicago. Then again.. our Sox closed out business on the road, and we still partied crazy in the city, so I won't complain.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ May 31, 2010 -> 10:44 PM) I'm all for another round of Lilli, but that's just me. No your not alone. I'd rather see a young, non prospect (anymore) struggle up here as he provides entertainment for me personally than these veterans being paid millions to suck and be boring. Plus he really got a bad rap for only 95 at-bats no matter how over-matched he was at the time. He is bad no doubt, but he'll fit right in with this team this season.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ May 31, 2010 -> 09:44 PM) I like Rose but what a moron...he looks high as f**k in that pic too. He was drunk I think, and that pic was like 3 years ago. The guy we thought about taking also (Beasley) has much worse pics. Knight is right about the "jackass/star player" thing, though I prefer the term dumbass as I see jackass more as a prick person though thats just me.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 31, 2010 -> 05:53 PM) Are you kidding me? He was here on his wedding day, and he was here last night. And there's so many wrong directions this can take, but since this is the man's wedding, I'll give him a break. So your saying he has already "Gaged" the proper way to handle things?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 31, 2010 -> 08:34 PM) G. Jones is a solid player Said it before.. very very underrated player.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 31, 2010 -> 10:25 PM) Also, anyone else think Sopel is getting a little too much ice time? He's valuable in spurts, but he's slow, not the best at handling the puck, and seems to make some costly mistakes. No your right. Can't remember the players name on the Flyers, but he absolutely OWNED him on a drag move that luckally Niemi stopped. Great win for the boys though. 2 more, but we need to at least win one (though 2 would be awesome) at their rink. We did our job winning at home, they are gonna try and do theirs.

I wonder how many days it will take for him to "consummate" the marriage and be back here.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 31, 2010 -> 01:09 AM) Lincecum was woefully inept last start, and has struggled in his last two starts. His last start, he refused to even check the runners on base before he pitched. I'm sure he'll come to play, but I expect Jimenez to outshine him somewhat easily. You could not have been more right. Lincecum has really struggled mentally and has allowed 5 BBs this game in 5.2 IP giving up 4 ER and 6 hits (could have been more) and only 3 Ks. Jimenez on the other hand so far has 8 Ks, 1 BB and only 2 hits in 5 IP. He has just been dominant this whole game clearly outshining Timmy. Very nice call/pwnage on your end. Didn't realize Timmy was really laboring that much recently.

I knew the sox org. was changing Flowers swing over the other one that made him successful, but I didn't think it was this severe. Flowers is right though, he should go back to his old swing and get the little tips KW/Walk for later. Flowers' future clouded by low average

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 26, 2010 -> 02:57 PM) The second day is always the worst. Your absolutely right. Felt it yesterday (off day) for sure, though I think I over-stretched a bit in the groin which limited me. Tonight I start the Fit Test MAX Interval circuit (gonna be Max everything from here on out) so I'm nervous as all hell to see how I stack up.

QUOTE (The Critic @ May 31, 2010 -> 08:24 AM) If the Toews/Kane/Byfuglien line shows up at all tonight, we should see Boucher replace Leighton again. That honestly might be good for the Flyers going forward. Boucher is the much better goalie, though I still don't think he is 100%. QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 31, 2010 -> 10:35 AM) I really hope Burish is in the press box today for Ladd. No way you can take Kopecky out (he is far superior as is to Burish) and obviously we are stronger when Ladd is on the ice. Burish really brings nothing to the team unless you count stupidity. He gets horrible penalties, sucks on offense, isn't a great defender. All he does is agitate and that is pretty useless in the Stanley Cup Finals especially against such a physical team. Not agreeing or disagreeing with you, but for the Badger fans.. the Hawks are what 11-0 or 11-1 with Burish in the line-up? I don't think that is just coincidence. Again.. not agreeing or disagreeing.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 31, 2010 -> 10:18 AM) Yuck. I've done a complete turnaround on Brentz. Don't believe in him much. I would much prefer a Workman/Wimmers. I'm torn on him as well, but he would still be a MUCH better pick than Wimmers or Workman IMO. I just don't like those pitchers at all, and am tired of the "safe" picks. Jeff, you can probably give a better grasp of his potential. (Brentz I mean)

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ May 31, 2010 -> 01:51 AM) Roethlisberger is a whole other story. I'm not sure on that one because I think Roethlisberger is just really dumb where I don't think Kobe would do that and I absolutely hate the guy. I believe TRU said it best that Roethlisberger even has the look of a rapist. I still remember that pic/video with his hair greased up addressing the media about the incident.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 31, 2010 -> 12:20 AM) Oh, I didn't know you had to be 2003 Barry Bonds to show considerable improvement as the year has gone on. Stubbs in April: .186/.301/.271 Stubbs in May: .271/.333/.510 Honestly man.. it isn't even worth it. I stopped long ago.

I'm a Nix fan too when he was a prospect especially (hyped up his arm when he came here) but TBolt is his biggest fan.

Jimmy Ballinger allowed his first EARNED runs of the season now putting his era at a horrible 0.74 Jordan Danks went 5-7, 2B, 3 RBI, BB, K in his last couple games.
