QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 01:09 AM) This MSU/Butler game is horrendous and indicative of how awful college basketball is this year. Haha, I just wrote the same thing. There's two good players on the court....Hayward and Summers. Matt Howard on Butler is the worst "good" player in the history of sports.

Wow is this Butler/Michigan St game terrible. The 2nd half is about the worst basketball you could imagine.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 3, 2010 -> 08:06 PM) Linebrink will be on the DL by May 1. How many games will he lose to the Tigers before that date?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 3, 2010 -> 08:03 PM) Why is it Linebrink gets crap for his struggles, but guys like Garcia get away with being worse? I think Linebrink will shock this board and be decent this year. I predict neither finishes with an ERA below 5.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Apr 3, 2010 -> 04:19 AM) Case and point: Anderson: Game 163. If BA is in the game earlier, I'm not sure he throws out Cuddyer at home the way a declining Griffey did. Griffey knew where to be, took his time to set up correctly and made the throw under control. Anderson, would have made the catch, but he also would have gotten crazy excited to show off his arm and probably would have air-mailed AJ. That ties the game. Everything changes... Oh come on, the only reason they sent Cuddyer is because Griffey Jr's defense had become such a joke. That ball wasn't more than 75 feet into the outfield.

Bucket, have you actually watched Jones play center during ST? He looked like Podsednik out there on a deep fly ball that ended up being a ground rule double. His arm also has been horrific. I think it's a huge mistake to try and make him an outfielder, and it kills Rios' value.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Apr 3, 2010 -> 12:05 AM) Am I the only one who hasn't seen a reason to laud Jones' defense in CF this spring? I don't think he's hurting us necessarily, but I have yet to see him dive, slide, or anything else remotely challenging. He looked awful in the game the other day that was televised on Comcast against the Angels.

Phil Dunphy, FTW!

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 31, 2010 -> 08:55 PM) That was on my predictions list that we will see Hudson more than people realize. I said it'll be from Freddy getting injured, or just not getting the job done. The spect lover in me wants Hudson here as well. Got the better arm. Garcia's fastball is going to have to top 85 mph though if he wants to be effective.

I wonder how many innings it will take before people are calling for Hudson to replace Garcia?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 31, 2010 -> 04:03 AM) Pretty mediocre episode tonight after an amazing episode last week. But after the last two weeks I'm really excited about where the show is headed in the last few episodes. The flash sideways stuff continues to be awful, but the stuff on the island was really good.

People really don't understand KW's comments. He's simply asking Ozzie to start Andruw Jones instead of Kotsay on Opening Day.

Jordan Danks has a very long way to go with regards to shortening his swing.

Linebrink is absolutely horrible

I really liked that HBK speech, seemed more genuine than most.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 30, 2010 -> 03:52 AM) 6-4-3 Preseason for you also? You forget the 3rd baseman is "5"?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 30, 2010 -> 03:51 AM) Ozzie having fun so far giving away outs. Pierre thrown out stealing, Pierre bunting unsuccessfully with 2 strikes and Q grounding out on a 3-0 pitch. I'll take Quentin swinging 3-0 every single AB.

Very nice turn by Beckham there!

Harangody shouldn't have made it either. I thought Jimmer definitely should have made it, as well as Quincy Pondexter (Pac 10 POW 6 times).

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 07:54 PM) Is Beckham scratched from today´s lineup as well? Side injury is of some concern....even the idea of if he'll have to go on the DL is scary.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 03:21 AM) I can't stand the Big 10's muck it up style, but damn Purdue plays defense hard and without the reaching, flopping that Duke gets away with. Duke's perimeter defense is amazing, I don't know why people don't realize this. By my count, they've taken one charge the whole game.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 02:29 AM) I'm guessing it will have a lot of pictures. Actually it's supposed to have stories about Ohio St. that Compliance wouldn't let him include on his blog.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 01:21 AM) Hopefully that guys 15 minutes are up now. Are you f***ing serious? He's awesome, and he's going nowhere because he's going to write a book in the coming year about his experiences.

8 air balled 3 pointers and counting in the Ohio St/Tennessee game. If I didn't know better, I'd say Diebler was on the take.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 26, 2010 -> 04:36 AM) NCAA tournament > Sex Awesome game, especially when you have 1 and 6 in a big money square pool!
