I just got done watching an episode of Boy Meets World. God, I love that show.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 08:48 PM) Well this series is over. The team that wins game 3 in the finals when it was 1-1 coming in has never lost. There's absolutely no way that's true.

f***IN AWESOME!!! DIRK!!!!!!!

I'm one of the few who has always hated Shaq. Happy he's gone.

Ben Gordon sucks, keep him far away from the Bulls, please.

QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ May 31, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) Awesome man, you'll have a blast. It was my favorite race I did last year. I'll be running that again this year too with the girl. It'll be her first half as well; she's in week 6 of training right now. And Higdon is still a great guide for a training plan for the half. Awesome, I'll shoot you a text when it gets closer to race time. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 10:11 AM) I have a severe case of patellar tendonitis in my left knee and my doc said I have to not workout for at least a week or maybe two. Its literally driving me crazy and today is only day 4. It really takes a toll mentally when you have to take any time off for whatever reason. Just when you can, get right back into it and you'll start to feel much better again.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ May 31, 2011 -> 09:35 PM) I hate the Heat even more now that they are a win closer to the championship. This Heat team was put together to ruin lives.

QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ May 31, 2011 -> 03:28 PM) Hal Higdon is who I used for my first, and my 2nd go around was a more personalized plan but still heavily influenced by Higdon. I know you've been working out and running heavy, but hopefully you got yourself a strong base going. I know it's usually suggested to be capable of running at least 6 miles comfortably, before going into a MTP. Most plans will expect for you to officially have started training a few weeks ago, but I would suggest jumping into one where you're capable and as close to timing it out right with your race to ensure at least one 20 miler and a 2-3 week taper beforehand as well. Which one are you going to be running? Half marathon actually and I run about 5 miles every other day but I've never really tried to push myself much more than that, I think I'm capable of doing a decent amount more if need be. And it's the Rock n Roll half Chicago Marathon on August 14th.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 31, 2011 -> 03:13 PM) A lot of that is the same good young talent they've had for 5 years. It's not as young anymore. They have a pitching staff this year. That's one of the main reasons. Their stats are so unimpressive though, up and down that roster. That's why I asked the question, I know they have the talent but when you look at the collective statistical output by that team, it's kind of hard to figure out how they're in 1st place.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 30, 2011 -> 11:15 PM) No one who doesn't have "Pierre" or "Vizquel" on the back of his jersey should ever be bunting on this team. They are the only ones who may actually lay down a good bunt, and it could actually result in a basehit with good enough placement. Everyone else has the ability to drive the ball in to the gaps. Correct.

Zach or MaggsMaggs, one of you guys who run marathons, got any tips on a good plan for training? I'm going to be running one in August, so I'd like to get at least some decent training in.

QUOTE (T R U @ May 30, 2011 -> 09:10 PM) Yeah, we can just do what a moron would do and send one of Jackson/Humber/Danks to the pen instead and completely destroy the trade value they would have as starting pitchers.. Buehrle: 73.2 IP - 82 H - 19 BB - 35 K - 3.91 ERA Jackson: 68.0 IP - 79 H - 25 BB - 59 K - 4.63 ERA How is that any case that its outrageous to suggest MB should be the one to go to the pen? Because hes been here 12 years? Theres no point in adding Danks because he is the most likely trade candidate and it would be beyond foolish to put Humber, your best pitcher, into the pen.. Jackson still can have trade value, and he has much better stuff than Buehrle and sorry, but the numbers aren't that much different to suggest that its the wrong move.. Um...that's a pretty big difference in era there and peripherals don't mean a damn thing with Mark. We know exactly what we're going to get from Buehrle and we know it's going to be a hell of a lot better than what we get from Edwin.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 30, 2011 -> 01:06 AM) You're probably right. But we traded Holmberg AND Hudson for Jackson. And if you believe the rumblings, we didn't even really want Jackson. We got stuck with him because the Nationals told us to f*** off. Oh you don't have to tell me. I like most hated that trade from day 1.

It'd be an odd time to send down Sale so I don't think that's happening.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ May 30, 2011 -> 10:45 AM) f*** CS Fullerton!! Who the hell let you out of your cage?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 29, 2011 -> 08:43 PM) I don't know why you think he's a horrible manager. He's definitely OK in that regard. WHo cares if he runs his mouth? It's Ozzie being Ozzie.I thought Chicago was a rough town, not a town full of people who get their feelings hurt by the big, bad manager. To be honest, no one would have a problem with his mouth if we didn't believe that he's a terrible in game manager. The fact that he's so bad in that regard does make it frustrating however when he wont shut up though.

Has anyone tried to read Ozzie's tweets tonight? I know he can't speak our language but they're seriously unreadable.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 29, 2011 -> 11:58 PM) I think you hate KW Jr. like I hate Juan Pierre. Oh, and to rub more salt on our farm system wounds. David Holmberg is having a solid season at High A: 4-3, 3.67 ERA, 54 IP, 13 BB, 55 Ks, 1.25 GB/FB ratio. I don't think he's ever going to be a good major leaguer but I do believe he could have been a guy that was used to net more than Edwin Jackson.

How the hell are the dbacks in first?

I got kicked out of so many girls beds last night, epic fail. On a positive note, visiting Carbondale next weekend, uh oh...

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 29, 2011 -> 03:09 PM) The world will have come to an end in that scenario, so it wouldn't matter. Now I'm scared.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 29, 2011 -> 03:01 PM) It may also remain the same. So it will either get better, stay the same, or get worse. I've added so much to this discussion. But what if none of those happen? Then what?

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 28, 2011 -> 05:37 PM) Not sure why all the Boston hate and putting them on Vancouver's level. I know we hate the Red Sox and their fans, but this is hockey...there's no "Bruins nation" BS...not a lot of irritating players at all...original 6 team as well...much easier pick than Vancouver. Can't stand Boston, period.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 29, 2011 -> 11:01 AM) He's a backup at this point, though. 2004 was a long time ago. He's never had great range. Doesn't offer defense or any playmaking ability. Not a good fit as a starter on this team. You guys are crazy.
