Buehrle>Wood

LeBron isnt half the player MJ was.

If we sign a big bat for first base and decide to make a run next year, AJ is a perfect FA candidate for us.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 01:30 AM) That John Danks contract is looking pretty awesome about now....this franchise is absolutely snake-bitten when it comes to finally giving pitchers a decent contract. Maybe, but pretty much none of this inning is on his pitching.

4 poor defensive plays this inning.

Two terrible defensive plays on one play. And no one is surprised.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 12:50 AM) I think it's hilarious that Morel is showing up as "unknown" in yahoo's box score That's gold. Tyler Flowers thinks Morel is a bad player.

QUOTE (mike89128 @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 01:30 AM) So the Sox finally admitted Konerko has a bad back. Why the secrecy? Especially after every other opponents broadcast team mentioned his bad back. No one wants to trade for a guy with a bad back.

I wouldn't wish watching Morel play on my worst enemy.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 25, 2013 -> 04:17 PM) 22.1, peak of 28.7 x 35000 = 1,004,500 Okay but those already are household ratings. The 28% peak means 28% were tuned in. So where does 71% come in?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 25, 2013 -> 04:04 PM) I want to see 2013 numbers. This year seemed so much bigger - EVERYONE was talking Hawks. In 2010 people were like "oh that's cool the Hawk won" while this year they were "OMG THAT GAME WAS/THIS GAME IS AWESOME". Way more were watching this year. Wait for the numbers. For Game 5 (6-5 OT win) 1,004,580 of 1,406,400 Chicagoland homes that had their tvs on tuned into the game at one point or another (71%). Not sure where you git your numbers, but sportsmedia watch had game 5 at a 22.1 rating locally. Fake edit: Do you mean game 4? Tvtbythenumbers had that at 22. Sox World Series presumably kill all these numbers, but I guess wait for the clincher info to come out.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 25, 2013 -> 03:46 PM) Anyone know what the local TV ratings were for the 2005 WS? I can only find the national ones (which were brutal), I'd be interested to see how much higher they were. 42% of Chicago Households for game 4 2005. 32% for the Hawks in 2010. Nationally the World Series had double the viewership.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 25, 2013 -> 04:28 PM) I can't findrticle right now, but if I remember correctly the Hawks parade dwarfed the Sox parade in the amount of people that showed up. They were both estimated at 2 million though both numbers were stretched and unfair to compare since the Sox had a longer route. The real telling number is tv ratings and the Sox dwarf the Hawks there during their runs.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 25, 2013 -> 01:27 PM) Congratulations. Buy yourself a cookie. I should also mention my pick to click this year is sporting a 2.63 ERA as a starter this year. Im practically Nostradamus. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 25, 2013 -> 01:28 PM) Would you like to make a similar prediction about Phegley? He will make for a bad, but certainly better starter than Flowers. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 25, 2013 -> 02:12 PM) Are you serious? 2005 was not THAT long ago, dude. That run dwarfed any of this hockey stuff. I have the say the city seemed A LOT more intense during 2005 than the Hawks runs.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 25, 2013 -> 01:22 PM) Too bad they didn't resign him because 33-40 and 8.5 games back puts the Sox right in contention. Resigning AJ was not the right move, so no, I don't agree with you that you're right. If they were in 2nd and 40-33, then yeah, sure, we can have this discussion. Until then, no, you're not right, and now the Sox know that they will need to find an upgrade over Flowers. Goal accomplished. This was was about Flowers being terrible. I was 100% right.

Find it odd they aren't bring ing Shaw again. Hope he's alright.

I would like to take this time to mention how right I was this offseason. Tyler Flowers is terrible. Just awful. To everyone who argued with me, I was right. You were wrong

Sale is already as good than what the best prospect in baseball could hope to be, I'm sure.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 23, 2013 -> 09:28 PM) They did rule it earned. Im not sure that makes sense given the error. Earned run is no longer. ERA down to .52

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 23, 2013 -> 09:23 PM) Not earned right? Still has that going for him. They did rule it earned. Im not sure that makes sense given the error.

Not earned right? Still has that going for him.

Dodgers go overboard for Yasiel Puig June, 28, 2012 By Keith Law | ESPN.com The most surprising news in the baseball world today is that the Los Angeles Dodgers have signed Cuban outfielder Yasiel Puig to a seven-year deal worth $42 million. .... Based on what I've heard about Puig, this is a bizarre overreaction to the upcoming international spending cap, and a huge bet that, despite a stiff swing and less athletic body than Soler, Puig's bat is good enough to justify an investment of this size. I've also heard that Puig was badly out of shape in his recent workouts in Mexico, and that his throwing arm is not as strong since it was last seen in games. And unlike Soler or Cespedes, Puig barely has played in games outside of Cuba, so major league scouts have not had much of an opportunity to evaluate him properly.

Impressive for the Sox to pound 2 Cy Young winners tonight.
