QUOTE (WCSox @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) Krause drafted Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant, and brought Cartwright, Rodman, and Phil Jackson into the fold. He was an egomaniac douche who couldn't get along with anyone, but there's no way that the MJ wins six rings without that supporting cast. Agreed with your overall point about loyalty to friends going WAY too far on Jerry Reinsdorf teams, though. I was exaggerating a little. But between the major role he played in the premature break-up of a 6-time champion all the way through his final year in 2003, you're going to struggle to find a more inept and just overall pathetic display of general managing in the last 25 years or so.

f*** it. Miguel Cabrera is my 2010 AL MVP. You take him outta that lineup and it gets ugly for the Tigers. And Cabrera ties the game with his second bomb of the night.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 01:17 PM) I didn't hate either of them before he went to the Heat.. but once Bosh and then LeBron both signed there they have now become my favorite team.. so that would indeed make them a team I follow I do believe.. lol. Um, ok. You're like done now.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 11:34 AM) Miguel Olivo's .391 wOBA in way more PAs says hi. True. He's having a year so above and beyond his norm that I forgot about him. I guess I was looking from this point on into 2011.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 08:51 PM) I still love them both Well the thing is, and correct me if I'm wrong, I don't recall you showing anything close to this "love" for LeBron or Wade before the "decision." And aren't you the same guy who says he has no interest in sports whatsoever outside of the teams you follow? Seems strange to me that you can "love" other players when you were so adamant about that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 08:17 AM) I'm sure most people already know this, but it needs to be said anyway. Buster Posey in July: .481/.525/.981/1.506. 7 HR. 17 RBI. 25/52 with 5 bb. That is a 200 OPS+. Is he the best catcher in the NL, at least offensively? If not yet he very well could be by next year. And how about Carlos Santana? He could be the best catcher in the AL very soon. .274/.432/.988 with an OPS+ of 172 in 139 PAs. His 1.50 BB/K rate is uncanny for such a young hitter. I've said it all year, I've never seen an infusion of talent as deep as what we've seen in '10 hit the game practically all at once in my time as a baseball fan.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:44 PM) Thanks. I'm just sick of it. It's the reason I stopped coming to these boards. There are times when you need to be optimistic (7 games against Seattle in the next 13 days or so day [if my math is right, which it probably isn't]) and pessimistic (getting swept in 4 games @ Cleveland). Let's say we just got swept by Cleveland and the Twins gained 3 games on us. I think these boards, these GREAT boards that some of you dopes are killing, would be even worse than what they are right now. Whatever. You still think USC is a legitimate program.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:46 PM) I just realized this. Seriously, Kenny needs to go down to Ozzie and be like "No more Bobby with 3 run lead bull" Not gonna happen. There's not an organization in sports that exhibits more blind loyalty than ours. I've been saying for the last two years that Jerry Krause, the worst GM of the modern era, would still be the Bulls' GM if he hadn't quit.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:39 PM) Okay so serious question... Should Jenks be used as trade bait? I bet he would thrive in the NL. Should be be flipped to an NL contender for some prospects that could add to a package for a trade to get a LH bat or another starting pitcher? lol. I wouldn't trade a used tampon for Bobby if I'm another team.

This thread does suck. I'd rather focus on our closer, who should be starring in Season 9 or whatever it is, of the Biggest Loser.

Can somebody shoot me a PM when greg gets on? If he f***ing defends that fat f*** I'm gonna lose it. I don't want to get banned.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:27 PM) So basically by your estimation they have to play like they did today every day? Do the Yankees even do that daily? The Yankees have a real closer. Not that it means a damn thing, I'm so done with Chris Farley.

Bobby Jenks or Billy Koch?

QUOTE (Soxguy @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:22 PM) Holy over reaction Batman He is overreacting. But these are the type of losses that can Typhoon an entire season.

I'm out. I don't want to say something that nets me a suspension.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:15 PM) Man a 4 run lead sure would be nice right here. f*** you Juan Pierre and Bobby Jenks. JP sucks. But should we lose this game it's all on Bobby.

John Candy is about to sabotage our entire season.

QUOTE (GREEDY @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:52 PM) I will admit but TCQ's "awkwardness" has to lead to him "looking" like a worse defender than he really is BUT Jones and Kotsay are clearly the better defenders so they need to be out there and Carlos needs to DH. I have to respectfully disagree. CQ is every bit as bad as he looks in RF. And I agree that he needs to DH.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:54 PM) J4L, you see the Pirates finally homered with a man on? No, I didn't. But that's mind-boggling that they went that long.

Putz=best signing since '05.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:40 PM) Seriously? Just cause the guy is struggling with the bat, doesn't mean he is all bad. He has been excellent in LF this year -- even accounting for his weak arm. Million times better than Pods or Q out there. f*** that. jphat is 100% dead on. JP is a below average baseball player that happens to have some wheels.

QUOTE (dielac @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:37 PM) He is so bad at bunting... Its pretty sad cause that would make his game so much better. Actual baseball talent would make his game better.

God damn I hate Juan Pierre. Even when he's doing well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:31 PM) Gonna be hard for Gonzalez now And fathom just pwned J4L. Forgot his ass just got traded.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:28 PM) And Alexei says no. He really deserves a GG... Only guys that are close would be Elvis Andrus or Alex Gonzalez.
