QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 6, 2010 -> 08:55 PM) Way different eras. Dunno about Tommy, but I still think it's a travesty that Blyleven is still not in the hall.

I hate Pods as a player/his game, but I'm also consistent with my hate (also hate Juan Pierre as a player/his game) so it's a wash for me. I'll say this, I'll gladly take 2 years of crap Pierre instead of 3 years of crap Podsednik, though I wish KW would have gotten Gardner and not have me throw up every time I see black Pods (albeit a bit different strengths and weaknesses for both, but it evens out) at-bat.

QUOTE (scenario @ May 6, 2010 -> 05:16 PM) IMO, Gilmore is definitely the most talented player on that team. Completely agree. Has the most upside for a position player by far on that team as of right now. (though I'll say Nate Jones has the highest as far as every player there, though I'm biased since he's one of my boys. ) Other scores here for the lazies. Knights. Barons. Kanny. Interesting players with great nights.

I have no idea why the media was asking Ozzie if they should demote him. If Ozzie was smart, he would bat him alot lower in the lineup because of his struggles (though he was still producing a solid walk rate). Let him hit 6th or lower and let him figure it out from there.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 6, 2010 -> 02:44 PM) No kidding. We get rid of two power guys in the lineup this past off season and we're supposed to be content with replacing them with one? Not to mention we got extremely lucky with that one. Still early as well, but I don't think many people had a guy hitting .150+ the last couple years to all of a sudden figure it out. (always had the OPS though) He also only plays about 3-4 times a week as well cause of his prone to injuries. An OBP left-handed stick with some pop like a Matsui for example would of been ideal.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 6, 2010 -> 03:15 PM) Referring to Andruw Jones as "AJ" is about as confusing as it gets. It's like confusing qwerty with "kindness."

I had a dream yesterday that Juan Pierre hit a XBH for us.

Castro. (welcome back)

Unless orgs are scared of his injury concerns (he's scaring me alot with his delivery and his shoulder/elbow issues, and I'm not even a scout, but I would still take him even if he turns into the injury-prone Mark Prior later on, or gets TJ ala Nevin Griffith) or like a couple people here said, signability issues (ala Rick Porcello which I could see as well), we would be very fortunate to see him at #13, but not "lucky" per say. I've been through this whole draft process alot now to realize alot of these prospects drop, and some I (and others on their personal guys) was convinced would be picked alot higher, were not in prior drafts. I would not be surprised to see a guy (say Matt Harvey for example) who was a consensus top 15 pick, to fall to the late first/early second.

Santos ties a rookie record.

Hawks win 5-2, Vancouver fans throw trash on the ice... Stay classy.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 5, 2010 -> 11:03 PM) Hey Gerry, are you delirious from Insanity? I feel like I'm high.

5-2!!!! Buff hat trick! Burrows is a P.O.S. by the way.

Missed the game from the 5th inning on, but glad we got the W.

I love Buff. He and Kane are really hated over there. HOSSA! 4-2 HAWKS

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ May 5, 2010 -> 07:27 PM) Can someone teach Quentin how to take a pitch, a little patience would go a long way with him. Funny thing is, he has a s***load of walks this year himself.. thing with him is he's so impatient with runners on, or with hitters counts.

Sac Fly, productive out.. I'll take it. And with that off to do Insanity! Go Sox and Hawks!

Damn.. Well I won't win tonight. C'mon Rios. You got this.

Nice at bat Jones. 6-0 C'mon Konerko, hit a grand slam and give me my PTC win! I think Jones is winning.

YES! Beckham 6 BBs in 3 games. Very good. 14:21 BB:SO ratio now, I believe he's 3rd on the team in BBs. If his average is up, he'll be at a .370 OBP+ in no time. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 5, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) Dear Genius of Math, How many losses do we have so far? How much is 162 minus said number? Win out? Yes. Back to third grade? Maybe. Steven GO SOX I love gerry. I hate you Steven. It's been 5 years since I've been in school. Give me a break.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 5, 2010 -> 08:10 PM) Im undefeated... Ok, out of posters with more than 10 threads. I'm 15-5 myself.

Singles Juan. Now please Ozzie for the love of god... DOUBLE STEAL!!!!!

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ May 5, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) Your 146-16 in game threads?!? get on it daily steve!!! we need a long winning streak kid! I'm calling bulls*** on that. Or I'm calling he is kidding, but he thinks he will be if he finishes the season in games threads. I think Heads has the best record out of anybody over the years. Or NSS.

I think Butler forgot that is Jones out there, not Pierre. He should have been safe none-the-less though. Feels good to have a LF that has an arm.

Ha, Butler was safe. If he gets robbed of 50 doubles this year, he can blame this game.
