QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 30, 2013 -> 10:02 PM) If they can resign Leddy, I'll be REAL happy about this offseason already. We'll see if the cut minutes in the finals meant anything more than just giving more minutes to better defenders.

Nothing but American kids who play center and Swedish defense men in 1st 7 rounds for the Hawks.

QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jun 29, 2013 -> 05:29 PM) I see people throwing around Lind and Morales names as 1B/DH, but I haven't seen anyone really mention Morneau. The Twins are likely to let Morneau go and convert Mauer to full time 1B, and if Morneau finds that power stroke again, he can be one of the top 1B in the league for another 3-4 years. I think he would be a phenomenal signing if you can get him without breaking the bank. Personally I like James Loney. People throw around the other names because we're going to need some power. Loney won't command as much but he's a good stick and fielder. I want good defense if we hang onto most of our pitchers .

Sox continue to set new ways to suck. 1st time ever in Sox history that Cleveland beat the Sox all 4 games of a 4 game series at home.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 30, 2013 -> 12:56 PM) He hit that ball hard. It was just right at the 3rd baseman. Ahead in the count you just have to let a low pitch go. He hit a pitcher's pitch. Bad approach.

Cory Schneider traded by Vancouver for 9th pick to the Devils. Undersold him. Should've got more.

1. COL NATHAN MACKINNON C 2. FLA ALEKSANDER BARKOV C 3. TBL JONATHAN DROUIN LW 4. NSH Seth Jones D

NHL draft on now.

Hey Caulfield . Don't take 6 weeks off. You're all right by me.

Sale might need to pitch inside a bit more. Back some of these a-holes off the plate.

Stubbs 1st hit for Indians is a bunt.

I knew we were a record setting team this year.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jun 29, 2013 -> 05:27 PM) IMPOSSIBLE to do, but what the heck. C... Josh Phegley (Deserves the opportunity) 1B... Matt Adams (Go after this potential slugger with a Peavy or Crain heading to St Louis) 2B... Kolten Wong (Matt Carpenter making it TOUGH for him to get to the big leagues, if Cards are interested in Peavy a Adams/Wong return could be a possibility) 3B... Connor Gillaspie (He has shown quite a bit so far, still young, & let's see how he progresses/adjusts) SS... Gordon Beckham (Would love to see him get a shot at SS if Lexi is moved, I think he can make the change just fine) LF... Tank (Up & down...Up & down...Up & down it seems with him throughout the seasons, but I def don't wanna give up on him yet) CF... Jacoby Ellsbury (Throw some money at him in the off season & give us a lead off hitter who can cause some real problems at the top) RF... Alex Rios (This is iffy, cause I think there is a good shot he could be traded, but if not I'll gladly keep em) DH... Adam Dunn (Don't think he will be traded & he continues to hit quite a few homers) Ellsbury - L Wong - L Rios - R Dunn - L Tank - R Adams - L Beckham - R Gillaspie - L Phegley - R Chris Sale (ACE) Josh Johnson (Coop gets him looking like his old self ) John Danks (Hopefully he starts to look like his old self again) Jose Quintana (Still young & still pitching fairly well, would like to see him continue to progress) Erik Johnson (Look forward to see him making his debut later in the season ) Talk about "realistic".... :lol: Where did Santiago go ?

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 29, 2013 -> 03:20 PM) Although it probably translates into 0.00 vs. the White Sox. That is Gakethrea harsh , man.

I vote Lindstrom because he's not on your poll.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 29, 2013 -> 03:06 PM) 13 baserunners resulting in only 3 runs scoring....well, that's not so unusual for the Sox. 3-3. Tied like that. Axelrod's ERA for the month around 6. Leadoff walk and Glenbrook North's bomb resulting in RBI's 50 and 51. 405 feet. Also has almost 20 stolen bases. I think that makes 14 homers surrendered by Axe this season already. Only 405 ? Looked 435 .

Kipnis Krushed . 3-3

Axe got squeezed on the 2-1 pitch.

Damn it just knew he'd throw a curve . Couldn't get a fastball over to save his life and Tyler stares at it.

Jimenez is done.

That will do.

I need a Tank HR.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 29, 2013 -> 12:29 PM) Haha. Maybe it'll be a good luck charm and the whole season will turn around........and maybe not. I am sorry for your arthritic fingers

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 11:36 PM) I'm pretty sure you'd actually love it if you tried to understand it. That's how I feel . I love baseball .It's America .Grew up playing it , played catch with Dad all that homespun Field of Dreams goodness to it. Played about 10,000 games of basketball. Played football in the street , parks, even frat flag football in college. Always played sports , always had a ball of some type in my hand. No jokes please. But I have to also say baseball is slow paced. Football also is with the huddles and penalties. Basketball so many fouls and free throws I can't even watch the championships. Only watch the Bulls . Hockey is pretty much constant motion and you see so many amazing plays. Hardly ever played it, some street hockey without skates , had a stick, never any skates. Dad would buy hard plastic stick blades that slid on the shaft once you broke the wooden blade and I'd curve the blade holding it over the burner on the stove top. Love watching the Hawks now because never saw them on TV growing up.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 11:29 PM) Oh yes it is. Hockey is terrible. Even the diehards don't understand all the rules. We'll agree to disagree. I'm a diehard hockey fan and it's not all that hard of a game to understand. Baseball is much harder for the uninitiated.
