Well, considering that we just went 1-4 on a trip in which our starting pitchers had a collective ERA of like 2.50 at the very most, I'd say that our problem, first and foremost, is the lack of a legitimate closer. And then you factor in the Sox team record whenever a 5th starter goes out on the mound, and the Sox could very well be 36-19 at the very least. But I hate to think about s*** like this. Let's just go out and wax all of these NL teams and everything will be alright.

1 Chicago Sox .827 2 NY Yankees .813 3 Colorado .810 4 Texas .807 5 Boston .802 6 Detroit .790 7 Houston .786 8 St. Louis .779 9 Cleveland .777 10 Chicago Cubs .776 The Sox are are waxing the competition!

.827 Team OPS? You have got to be s***ting me. That is beautiful!

YES!

Sorry, I meant to post this on the main board.

OPS Frank Thomas: 1.085 Juan Uribe: .928 Paul Konerko: .903 Magglio Ordonez: .891 Jose Valentin: .862 Miguel Olivo: .844 Ross Gload: .823 Carlos Lee: .800 Willie Harris has a 380 OBP, which is all that matters. Aaron Rowand has a very high OPS against lefties. It's up over 1.000, if I'm not mistaken. The only weak link right now is Joe, who has a .624 OPS. I'm not sure where we rank as far as Team OPS goes. Boston is probably ahead of us.

DJ doesn't have much else to say, though. He's not a good storyteller, which should be a requirement for color analysts as far as I'm concerned. He's not particularly funny. He has no business up in that booth.

That's none of you business.

That's who I'd go with as well.

Pistons Up 89-83 with less than a minute to go in Game 2, with a 1-0 series lead. Too bad that it didn't work out. I'd have bet my life savings on the Lakers in this game, though. Seriously. And the Pistons damn near won. See, that's why I'm not a gambling mang. There's too much stress involved.

Okay, Cliff. Show us what ya got!

Wow. Three run shot for Thome. You have got to be kidding me. 5 runs given up by Jackson on 6 hits.

ooooooohhhh yeeeeaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're right. I don't like "Lady Madonna" or "Foxy Lady", although I love the artists who performed those songs.

I'm glad that I never had to hear this one.

I hate to do this, but... Joan was quizzical; studied pataphysical Science in the home. Late nights all alone with a test tube. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine, Calls her on the phone. "Can I take you out to the pictures, Joa, oa, oa, oan?" But as she's getting ready to go, A knock comes on the door. Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer Came down upon her head. Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer Made sure that she was dead. Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again. Teacher gets annoyed. Wishing to avoid and unpleasant Sce, e, e, ene, She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away, So he waits behind Writing fifty times "I must not be So, o, o, o.." But when she turns her back on the boy, He creeps up from behind. Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer Came down upon her head. Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer Made sure that she was dead. P. C. Thirty-one said, "We caught a dirty one." Maxwell stands alone Painting testimonial pictures. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Rose and Valerie, screaming from the gallery Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free) The judge does not agree and he tells them So, o, o, o. But as the words are leaving his lips, A noise comes from behind. Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer Came down upon his head. Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer Made sure that he was dead. Whoa, oh, oh, oh. Silver hammer man.

You shouldn't have to look at what Ray Allen did this year. He has been around since 1996. He's clearly one of the elite shooting guards in this league. There's no way that he's not in the Top 5. Rip is a very good player, don't get me wrong. But Ray will be remembered long after he's gone. Rip will be a side note.

No, seriously, McGrady is a shooting guard. That's where he starts every game. And Ray Allen is perhaps the best shooter in the NBA>>>>common knowlege.

Yeah, but Tayshaun is 6'9. Kobe is 6'6. You would think that he wouldn't be able to get low enough on the ball. The smaller the guard, the better (in a traditional sense). That's why I brought up Jordan vs. KJ, Gary Payton, John Starks, Dumars, etc. Lindsey Hunter brings similar on the ball defense to the table. But Tayshaun is a rare breed.

McGrady is a shooting guard, through and through. I don't think that I'd even put Rip in the Top 10, actually. Ray Allen is so much better than Rip that it's not even funny! So much better...

Songs to commit suicide to....

This is, without a doubt, the worst song that I have ever heard (even worse than the lyrics that you'll find on commercial rap songs, if that is possible). Huh huh huh hu-uh huh So true funny how it seems always in time, but never in line for dreams. Head over heels when toe to toe. This is the sound of my soul, this is the sound. I bought a ticket to the world, but now I've come back again. Why do I find it hard to write the next line? Oh I want the truth to be said. Huh huh huh hu-uh huh I know this much is true. Huh huh huh hu-uh huh I know this much is TRUUUUUE With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue dissolve the nerves that have just begun. Listening to Marvin (all night long.) This is the sound of my soul, this is the sound. Always slipping from my hands, sand's a time of its own. Take your seaside arms and write the next line. Oh I want the truth to be known. Huh huh huh hu-uh huh I know this much is true. Huh huh huh hu-uh huh I know this much is TRUUUUUE I bought a ticket to the world, but now I've come back again. Why do I find it hard to write the next line? Oh I want the truth to be said. Huh huh huh hu-uh huh I know this much is true. Huh huh huh hu-uh huh I know this much is TRUUUUUE This much is true. I know, I know, I know this much is true.

But you could bet your last dollar that the Pistons will drop game 2. There's no way that they could go into LA and win the first two. There's just no way.

Tayshaun is a rare breed. Guys who are that tall should not be able to guard Kobe Bryant/Michael Jordan types. They rarely ever have the type of foot speed that is necessary to keep up with the all-time greats. That's why I figured that Lindsey Hunter would get to guard Kobe for at least 20 to 25 minutes, but that didn't happen. And if anyone watched Lindsey closely in Game 1, the guy is a ball hawk. A defensive madman. I love the Pistons.
