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.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 29, 2010 -> 07:44 PM) Poor bastard. Best post in this thread.

Incredible game. Great night all around downtown for myself from the drinking, the Hawks win, and the party all night long afterwards netting numbers I don't even remember on my phone.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 30, 2010 -> 11:12 AM) I hope the Lakers absolutely destroy them. This. My hate for Rondo trumps anything I could ever hate for the Lakers not to mention I can't stand Boston teams or their fans. Plus, I still like that Phil Jackson guy.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ May 29, 2010 -> 02:35 PM) The lineup has been up for over an hour now and no one has complained about Kotsay being in the lineup yet. Must be the nice weather I'll complain about Alexei getting dropped out of the 2 spot where he's been good last year and so far this year in limited at-bats for A.J. Just brutal.

Alexei.

Pierre.

I'll be downtown bar hoppin tonight watching the game!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 29, 2010 -> 10:42 AM) Yeah, he appears to be quite wild, gotta love that K rate though. Second only to Daniel Hudson in K/9 in the IL.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ May 29, 2010 -> 09:00 AM) Buster Posey has been called up by the Giants. Bout time. He and Santana really should have been up a month ago. Indians are still on the politics stage with the arbitration rule, not to mention they suck anyways.

QUOTE (kev211 @ May 29, 2010 -> 02:38 AM) Am I the only one upset over the Jordan statue having hawks gear all over it? I mean I'm not a big hockey fan considering this is my first post in this thread, but that statue is basically sacred in my mind. Obviously I am probably going to get ripped on for posting it in this thread, but I still feel that way. No your not the only one, and it is actually getting mixed reviews by people not only in Chicago, but around the world (hell even people in Canada are mixed on it) and I'm not even just talking about basketball fans. Me three years ago, probably hates it as much as you do. It doesn't bother me as much now, even though I'm more of a basketball guy. I was actually gonna hold off my thoughts on it till your post.
