QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ May 1, 2009 -> 07:31 PM) I know Zambrano a pretty good pinch hitting pitcher...but pinch hitting him with 2 on and 1 out before taking anyone off of your bench!?!?! Obviously they think they are in for a long day ! They're a man short already due to Aramis being injured. I don't see the problem with it, as Zambrano has as much power as anyone on that roster besides Soriano/Aramis. Harden had a terrible start today (about time for a DL stint), but the Marlins pitcher is awful!

For the eye test, Swisher was the tallest midget defensively. I would say Owens would be 2nd, with Mackowiak dead last.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 1, 2009 -> 08:08 PM) Another thing to think about: given how much Ozzie likes to get his new toys into the lineup will Chris Getz get even a single start against a left handed pitcher this season now that Jayson Nix is around? Ozzie said last Friday that he really didn't want to have Getz face lefty pitchers. So the simple answer to your question is: very rarely

I knew Cubs fans were going to love Heilman. I guess Amezaga saved the game for the Marlins in the 9th with 2 on, 2 outs.

Can we get a rain delay this wknd in Boston to rest our legs?

Mercy...never been so happy to see a missed FT.

This game is f***ing amazing. Not to mention having the over in this game.

Oh Hinrich, how I hate you so much. Least clutch player in history.

With Pierce out, Boston has 2 guys you have to defend on the perimeter. Well done again VDN. Hunter sucks, get him out of there!

Loudest I've yelled "oh s***" in a long, long time.

Rose just needs to shoot the freaking ball. Every time in the 2nd half and OT he's tried to make an extra pass, it's a turnover.

Can we fire VDN now, and let Roberson take over coaching?

VDN needs to hand in his clipboard if the Bulls lose this.

Salmons is a hog, but thankfully he's shooting when everyone else is playing awful (besides Miller).

Why in Hinrich guarding Big Baby in that situation?

Do the pick and pop with Miller getting the shot again.

One stop...one freaking stop!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 1, 2009 -> 01:34 AM) It's the defense on Allen that's killing us right now Can't win if you don't score though, and 4 minutes scoreless for Bulls now.

VDN keeping Gordon on the bench way too long. Not only that, he pulled Miller right as the offense was clicking.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 1, 2009 -> 12:10 AM) Back to a 2 point game, yeesh. The defense is atrocious. Celtics shooters are wide, wide open every possession.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 1, 2009 -> 12:08 AM) The game's been 18 minutes so far, he's played 15. Didn't he sit out first 4 minutes of 2nd Q?

I hate it when coaches sit down a guy to start the 2nd quarter when they're on fire in the 1st quarter. Nothing like benching Salmons for 1/3 of the 2nd quarter after having 16 in first quarter.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 11:52 PM) Wennington is saying he's thinking Rondo was throwing a punch as they were being pulled apart, so there was no contact. Honestly, I thought Hinrich was the one who made more contact after the initial play. He's lucky he didn't get tossed also.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 11:51 PM) He will be if the Bulls win, but he SHOULDNT be. He could have easily dislocated Hinrich's shoulder on that play.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 11:50 PM) Opinions from people watching...think Rondo is in for game 7 or not? Yes...and the only one who will think it's the right decision is Bill Simmons.
