QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 23, 2011 -> 03:59 PM) Wade threw the ball off of the Ref, so it was ref interference. Which is why the ref kept saying "My bad" Ya, Wade threw it off the refs hand. I don't know the exact rule for that but if anything the ref is usually in play so you'd think that just be a turnover on Miami anyways. Oh well, certainly didn't effect the outcome of the game.

QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ May 20, 2011 -> 10:21 AM) I picked up the Sox 2011 Stars and Stripes cap the other night at Grandstand. This one might be my favorite of the Stars and Stripes looks, but mostly because I love the old-school look of caps that have a different color for the crown panels. I don't know that they'll look great with the Sox uniforms, but none of them have really, so that's not a major concern. Pics: Ya, love that.

QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ May 22, 2011 -> 10:54 PM) OK, I had it reversed then. Birmingham´s stadium must be the difficult park to hit in. JPN is that correct? Ya, that's correct.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 22, 2011 -> 11:18 PM) He wasn't good on defense but he never is. I can live with that if he's going to get 17 boards. Joakim was on Bosh just as much, and if not for a handful of slick feeds to Boozer he would've almost literally done nothing. I mean if someone wants to point out "the problem" start there. Boozer is what he is defensively, we all know that. He still did things tonight that just anger you but as you said if he's going to put up 26 and 17 I can deal with it. He's far from the reason we lost this game.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 22, 2011 -> 10:13 PM) Just got done arguing with people about Boozer sucking and being "the problem." I pointed out that Boozer had 26 and 17 and he made 10-12 FTs and I was called blind or drunk for not knowing that he was the problem, and someone else said it was the quietest 26/17 he's ever seen. I'm pretty sure that counts the same as a "loud" 26/17, and if his 26 points were quiet, Rose's 20 were muted. Seriously, if Boozer can get those numbers in any game in which Rose plays the way Rose plays, they win probably 80% of the time. Boozer certainly wasn't the problem tonight.

Think I'm gonna go run out and buy a dog cause I'm quite scared for this game.

Is that picture of LeBron on nba.com serious? Hahaha

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 22, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) Viciedo, 2 solo Hr. Well at least we have 1 real prospect... Seriously though, the kid is a f***in hitting machine. And if he continues to improve his plate discipline we might just have something special here.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 22, 2011 -> 01:07 PM) With the way the bulls have D'd up, 90-95 points should be enough. I keep wanting Boozer to go hard to the rim but he seems like he is afraid of contact. But did you hear his rap? He goes hard on offense.

Is anyone else positive we're going to come back and get in 1st at some point this season only to blow it in September?

QUOTE (Brian @ May 20, 2011 -> 05:46 PM) I remember this angle like it was yesterday. I don't even know how old I was for that but I too remember that like it was yesterday. Those two were seriously awesome.

Look, Kobe isn't in Jordan's league but Pau was never the best player on that Lakers team, lets get that straight.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 20, 2011 -> 04:26 PM) Kobe doesn't win anything without Shaq or Gasol. MJ needed Scottie, but I think it's pretty evident that Shaq is a more dominant player than Scottie and that the Gasol from the past three years is nearly as valuable as Pippen. And there's that stat of MJ being 6-0 in the NBA Finals. I was with you up until that part.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 20, 2011 -> 04:03 PM) And they were both off of........ You guessed it. JOHN GARLAND! I was at that game. It was one of the best ever. Who?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2011 -> 02:43 PM) I don't mind honoring these guys, but I think it's ridiculous that Jerry Reinsdorf told Juan Pierre to honor Scott Podsednik all season by getting caught stealing and picked off twice a week. How dare you forget poor lf defense. You disappoint me.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 20, 2011 -> 03:36 PM) This would be like the Yankees honoring Scott Brosius and Hideki Irabu from the '99 team. It's just a reminder to me of how terrible the history of the White Sox is where we have to honor Juan Uribe and Jon Garland. Well we're not the Yankees.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 20, 2011 -> 03:02 PM) AJ has to be in there. Everyone loved him that year. Pods too. True on both of those. It'd actually be interesting to see how this boards top 5 from that season would compare to the general fan base because it'd be quite the difference that's for sure.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 20, 2011 -> 01:56 PM) Yeah really. I doubt he'd crack the top 5 of fan favorites for the 2005 team. Not sure he'd crack the top 10. Hmm top 5 fan favorites of 05: Buehrle, Konerko, Crede, Rowand, Jenks maybe? Be an interesting topic.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 20, 2011 -> 01:59 PM) If you are talking about Stephanie McMahon, those are not true. Just urban legend. He will be put in the HOF next year and it will feel hollow as he should of been in 5 years ago. This f*cking sucks. All these people I watched growing up keep dieing. I was hoping it wouldn't be but I never knew for sure either way. Even though I don't follow too much of the current stuff, I still love to read about the backstage/urban legend aspect of the business so I'm always intrigued by stuff like that.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 20, 2011 -> 12:12 PM) Who is complaining? The closest thing to a complaint that I saw was Tex, and he already came around to the idea. This site is ridiculous sometimes. Even when there are no complaints, people act like there are. Tex and J4L. And as I said, I don't see how anyone could have a problem with it so my comment is quite relevant. You're the one being ridiculous here.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 20, 2011 -> 11:57 AM) Graduate of my HS, Downers Grove North, Randy Poffo was drafted by the cardinals straight out of HS. He set high school records in hitting all over the board. SIU alum as well.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 20, 2011 -> 11:36 AM) There is not a player on that team I won't give a standing ovation to if given the chance. Even Pablo?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 20, 2011 -> 12:48 PM) He needs to have a show dedicated to him. I'm sure it won't happen for a couple of reasons: 1.) I don't think they dedicate entire shows anymore due to Benoit 2.) I'm pretty sure Vince hated him 3.) He wasn't working for WWE at the time But if any guy deserves it, he does. And I'd tune in from start to finish. Some vicious rumors about why Vince didn't like Randy. Who knows if they're true but if they are you can't fault Vince.
