QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 7, 2014 -> 01:32 PM) I agree, and I wish they'd filter through to put more "smart" fans on the air. They do get the idiots on there, and most of them deserve to be blasted. When B and B actually talk hard core sports, they talk it at a very high level. They know how to watch a game. Their highest level of sports talk is above anyone else in this town that is on the air. Terry Boers should never be included on any discussion of high level sports discussion. The guy is a lapdog with no actual opinion of his own. That's from someone who listens everyday. There isn't high level discussion because there is 0 discourse on the show.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 7, 2014 -> 11:54 AM) So dumb, every year when a player has a poor playoff performance suddenly some player is sleeping with his wife. Pau Gasol/Kobe, Tony Parker/Brent Barry, those Villanova players I'm forgetting, Steve Nash/Lenandro Barbosa, Lebron/Delonte West, and now Hibbert/George. It's like the new my dog ate my homework, although I do believe a couple of them were true.

The point of those articles he quotes are that the Cubs/Theo should not be excused for taking so long to be interesting when the Sox managed to do it in 1 offseason. José Abreu in his first month is absolutely symbol behind that. Anthony Rizzo in his 3rd year in town,no matter how good he is, is not. Is it too early for those types of articles? Yes, probably. But I'm not sure why Bernstein brings them up here. They aren't very relevant.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 7, 2014 -> 11:39 AM) Could be Noesi vs this guy on Sunday... http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=anders011cha (I miss the catch-all) I like you flavum but you are the reason the catch all is a bad idea. You post interesting stuff all the time but then decide to inexplicably bury it in other threads. That said yeah that right there pprobably just belongs here.

Shockingly, Bernstein can't see the forest for the trees.

Gillaspie for Semien Eaton for Danks Keppinger for Sierra

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ May 6, 2014 -> 10:56 PM) Would sox fans ever honor a cubs player with the equivalent merit level of Konerko? I was going to ask if they did anything for Kerry Wood. Obviously nowhere near as good but similarly revered. I also don't think they knew he was retiring.

Gregory Polanco turns down 7 years 25 million plus 3 option years. Interesting since he hasn't played a game yet. Those option years must have been no good. Pirates then decided to not ca him up.

Nice job by pretty much everyone tonight this side of De Aza and Semien.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 6, 2014 -> 10:29 PM) I would of let Downs finish it. Let's not tempt fate

Tulo thinks he's prime Barry Bonds.

My boy comes through. Should have been out.

My guy Jordan Danks.

Just when I thought Tyler Flowers was back.

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ May 6, 2014 -> 10:10 PM) I dont want to speak for him, but I believe he is stating that that there are not a lot of black cubs fans. You are correct. On another note, wow. Props to Ventura on that.

Quite the shift. Great inning by Downs. About as rare as a black cubs fan.

Downs bringing the heat. Up to 87!

Beckham 6th highest twitter trend right now. That's unexpected.

Just like that Gordon has a better average than Semien.

4-4*

Paul George slept with Roy Hibberts wife. Damn, My money was on Evan Turner.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 6, 2014 -> 09:37 PM) When you know they have a lefty warming up in the bullpen I think it is smart. Especially with Beckham up 3rd in the inning. Would be a good double switch... But I don't expect Robin to be that smart True I'd rather seen Konerko but yeah.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 6, 2014 -> 09:32 PM) Why pinch hit with Adam now?? nobody on base to lead off the inning. Put Garcia up there and let him get on base Well Dunn gets on base at over a 40 percent clip. Good to lead off with that. Garcia hasn't been as terrible as expected with the bat so far but he shouldn't be your first ph.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 6, 2014 -> 09:09 PM) Past results are not indicative of future performance. It's not the stock market ha.
