Buehrle>Wood

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 03:49 AM) Surprised that there's no mention of Rick Hahn when it comes to criticism of this pitching staff. We got 1 pitcher making over 5 mil. He's afraid to pay them. Probably not a good thing.

I hate Grant Balfour.

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 04:42 AM) For everyone blaming Ventura for having Lindstrom as the closer still, you were all the same ones who loved the move as a means of boosting his trade value. Who else in that hell-hole of a bullpen do you want in the closer role? We were?

Robinnnnn

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 04:33 AM) Matt coming in. Hopefully he's no longer the closer

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 04:25 AM) Yes but he gets treated like it. There will actually be some very unhappy people when he starts hitting. When? That dude hasn't hit for 5 years. Hopefully Severson works his magic.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 04:18 AM) The good news is Marcus is now on pace to break Adam Dunn's team record 222 strikeouts. It is not rope. What he is getting is delusion. A guy on pace to perhaps set a major league record striking out with a .275 OBP was actually called a professional hitter on this board. Beckhams on pace to be the worst hitter ever!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 04:15 AM) If Beckham had 3 ks and a check swing to the pitcher, it would be ugly. It's almost like a rookie gets more rope than a 6 year veteran.

Best Beckham swing there

Please can him

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 03:24 AM) King is going off on Thibs for Boozer not being in the game. As he should be. It's like the 3rd same game in a row without adjustment.

Nene got ejected for that

Nene should get ejected for that

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 01:59 AM) Heads up, Hawks game is back on nobody cares about that 4th tier sport.

Lmfao

Got a cookie there almost capitalized

I'm essentially never ever okay with a bunt this early. But i probably am here. Actually Gordon will probably screw that up too

I'm still shocked ever time i see flowers get a hit

This is a longgggg game

Heyman vs Zeb the great debate on Smackdown is incredible. These two are just amazing. So much better at promos than anyone on the rostee, both of them.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 09:03 PM) What's with all the WCIU games, is it because both the Bulls and Blackhawks are in the playoffs? Could be worse. Could be the Cubs who are on CSN+2 tonight. Their viewership will rival the Astros.

I don't think we spend comparatively to other teams on pitching at all and that makes Cooper a success.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:27 PM) Right there shows a big problem right now...no names from the past two years. True though it's hard to blame Cooper for not keep pulling miracles put of his ass. Dylan Axelrod being anything close to competent for any length of time was pretty close though.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:15 PM) Yogi arrested on campus for same thing as Darius. Dan Dakich says all of Bloomington is racist.

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 07:26 PM) How many pitchers has Cooper actually "fixed"?? Like... 2? The rest were guys who were already pretty good. I remember when the Sox traded for Edwin Jackson, the Sox were saying Cooper could tell he was tipping his pitches and knew how to fix him. He was good for a half season and went back to total suck. I hope Noesi can be at least decent. But the odds of that are nearly zero. Jackson was alright with us. Do you mean Liriano? but to answer your question, Matt Thorton, Gavin Floyd, Estefan Loaiza, and Jose Contreras come to mind. I'm sure there's more.
