When this story dropped, you had the word of TMZ and that was it. It is beginning to look more and more likely that it was indeed him, and in this case I don't think it matters how the recordings were procured. I trust TMZ just about as much as any other source right now.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 08:45 PM) After last year, .500 is great. +100000 There's already been at least 3 victories this year that are more memorable than anything from last year.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 10:26 PM) Kinda sad but I'm already thinking about the fact that he can opt for arbitration when eligible, that will put a damper on the $11M AAV that every baseball reporter in America is throwing around right now. He'll make $10M in his 3rd year, given that he's guaranteed only $10.5M in his 4th, he's a lock to opt out and go for a big pay day in arbitration if he's anywhere near as badass of a hitter as we believe. If he deserves it, then I don't think we'll be too upset with paying him a lot more money given the team should be in contention by then.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 10:30 PM) K rate I would imagine As well as spray chart, which is much more even for Beckham that last two years than Semien (at least the visual appears that way, not sure how to get the actual statistic)

Or he's trying to take the pressure off of Semien by putting him 9th? From what I've seen this year, Beckham's probably the better bet to hit behind the runner if needed than Semien is anyways. Nothing to lose with this move.

Awesome story within this link regarding Abreu's AB vs Balfour http://grantland.com/features/the-30-week-...es-rangers-mlb/

Hawkins homers off of the top of right field fence. All he does is hit cheap homers.

Hinrich needs to stop shooting......and playing

Bulls forgot they had a game today. Shoot more jumpers, guys.

Sox to face last 3 Cy Young winners in 4 days

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 03:29 AM) Erik Johnson sent down Wow, probably the right decision but pretty disappointing for Johnson's progress

Sucks to see them build up some great momentum last night, only to follow that with a sloppy effort tonight. At least the ace of the staff is going against Price tomorrow. They have to find a way to get some better roster balance, but all these injuries are ridiculous.

Oh wow, brutal call. Ump seemed pissed at the way Alexei took the 3-0 pitch.

Taking strikes, swinging at balls

let's get the tying run to the plate

Really nice performance by Downs

Eaton seems to have no rhythm at the plate right now.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 01:53 AM) So if Downs goes to the DL who are our lefties They like Putnam vs lefties

Putnam now is our lefty specialist

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 01:44 AM) Well, Downs is pitching now, so... And bringing the heat at 86

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 02:41 AM) So, Erik Johnson getting his papers tonight? Somebody has to get sent down. My guess is Putnam, unless they DL Downs.

Hopefully Noesi can eat the remaining two innings to save the rest of the bullpen.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 02:26 AM) Noesi isn't fooling anyone. 2 out of 3 would have been gone if it wasnt 35 degrees and Longoria was just underneath it. He is simply awful. I still can't believe they even considered bringing him to the big league club. Not only is he hurting the Sox by pitching for them, but he's hurting the Sox cause they don't get to face him.

Everyone that has tried to pull the ball tonight has had no success besides one single, I believe.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 01:15 AM) Off topic, but do people actually watch Cubs games? If their ratings aren't terrible, they should be. Even I've stopped watching. I'll check out their minor league guys...so far, Kris Bryant has been incredible and Javy Baez has been about as bad as Matt Davidson.
