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.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 29, 2011 -> 11:09 AM) He better be coming off the bench. This team needs something more than an old Rip Hamilton. If we find someone else than fine but old or not the guy still averaged 14 points a game last year while shooting 38 percent from 3. If he's healthy he'd be a fine fit for this team.

So we're saying that giving up 6 earned runs is just fine now a days? Please, I don't care how they were given up, that's a bad start no matter how you look at it.

Bullpen Edwin. Jose Bautista good.

Maybe being hit in the face will wake him up.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 27, 2011 -> 11:40 PM) I have to root for Boston I guess. Yuck, yuck, yuck. It's a shame either of these teams gets to win, but thankfully at least I get to see one of them get their hearts broken. Ideally Vancouver, as it's the lesser of the 2 evils. Great game tonight though, there is nothing like game 7 in hockey. Can they let Dirk try to win the Stanley Cup too? All these teams can go to hell.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 27, 2011 -> 06:59 PM) Mitchell 1 - 4 4th game in a row without striking out. Baby steps? For him that's a gigantic step.

Surprised there is no talk about Pippen being a dumbass so far in this thread.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 27, 2011 -> 01:02 PM) What's the chance the Bulls take him, develop him as a PG and let Rose run more like a SG on offense? Because Shumpert obviously has the size to guard 2s. That's a bad idea.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 27, 2011 -> 08:37 AM) I have as well. Yeup.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 27, 2011 -> 09:40 AM) *Raises hand I think that was directed at me. Shack's having a little trouble with reading comprehension today. EDIT: or not.
