QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 24, 2011 -> 04:43 PM) Back to Beckham. Do you guys have more confidence in Rios or Beckham to pull out of it this year and end up with close to a 775-800 OPS for the season? I'll go with Beckham, simply based on the fact that he has to be an 825-850 OPS guy at 2B in the future for this team to have any chance. I can live with Rios at 725-750, but not anywhere close to 600. That's Juan Pierre bad. In fact, worse than Juan Pierre, and AJ, and Dunn (around 670-680 because of the walks and doubles), and Beckham. (Final comment, thank God they replaced Kiera Knightley in Pirates...I just saw her in a movie called "Last Night" with the scrumptious Eva Mendes and Sam Worthington and she REALLY looked anorexic, her hip bones were jutting out. Penelope Cruz and the new mermaid were at least a change of pace from previous POTC movies...) Beckham, though I have no faith in either him or Rios at this point.

QUOTE (StatManDu @ May 24, 2011 -> 02:55 PM) MARK BUEHRLE was the last White Sox pitcher to fire a complete game shutout against a reigning American League champ. On July 23, 2009, Buehrle threw a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays at U.S. Cellular Field. That was a good game.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 19, 2011 -> 04:46 PM) I'm going to do in depth research on the organiztion as well. Hope it went well if you already had the interview, if not, good luck man. Is it in Arizona?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 24, 2011 -> 03:29 PM) For a SI Swimsuit type model, she's (B. Decker) not what I would call thin...more the Kathy Ireland type, if you remember way back when. Of course, like almost all 90's-00's "It" girls, she's done the whole boob job thing, so that makes her look a bit unnatural. For her sake, I hope she's nothing like her ditzy character in the "Just Go With It" flick that was absolute cringe-worthy and almost Taylor Swift/Valentine's Day bad. And the new Transformers girl from Victoria's Secret does absolutely nothing for me either, at least in the previews/pictures I've seen so far. Decker really isn't that skinny at all. This was quite the thread hijack.

QUOTE (T R U @ May 24, 2011 -> 11:46 AM) ew. Aaaaaaaaaagrreeeeeeddddd.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 24, 2011 -> 11:14 AM) Here's a guy who I think could be the perfect fit for the Bulls in the draft. http://www.wsucougars.com/sports/m-baskbl/...son_klay00.html Unfortunately, he probably won't slip to the Bulls pick even if they package both first-round picks to move up. Ironically, Klay Thompson is Trayce's brother. Klay would be the perfect 2-guard for the Bulls. Ya, I brought him up a while ago, he'd be ideal. Like you said though, not falling to the Bulls draft position unfortunately.

MVP Derrick better be back tonight.

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.
