QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) I'd love Santos to be the closer simply because that frees up our 2 dominant lefties for any situation whether it be SU or simply getting out a 1 tough lefty (dump oh-man!'s ass) and still have Crain as well. Than that only allows us to have 1 solid righty for all other situations. It's really the same scenario.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 05:12 PM) Let's just say I'm glad we're in the east. I'd want no part of the Blazers or Grizzlies. I'm just fine with Philly or Indiana. We're locked in to play Indiana.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 05:05 PM) The Blazers are the team I think nobody wants to play. They've got some serious length, athleticism and they're deep as hell. It's a shame Roy has fallen off so greatly (though he's still a solid player) and Oden has become Bowie/Olowokandi part 2. The whole bottom of the West(minus NO) is pretty damn dangerous to be honest.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 04:22 PM) Nah, can't write off the Twins that easily. If the Sox can beat the Twins a few times, then I'll say that. Definitely. I've been saying all offseason long that on paper this is our division by far to lose but I don't think any Sox fan at this point is dumb enough to count out the Twins. On the other hand, I'm with you and Mike on the Tigers, I never understood what people saw in them, still don't.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 11:43 AM) Perkins only played in 1 of the 3 Celtics wins over the Heat. I retract my previous statement than. The point remains that Boston is clearly a different team without Kendrick though.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:19 AM) The good news for the Bulls is that Miami hasnt played the Celtics well, so its not a sure thing that the Bulls ever even face the Heat. Miami hasn't played well against Boston when Boston had Kendrick Perkins. Boston is not the same team that they were.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 07:05 AM) I still think they make the playoffs. Best sign they had all year was Beckett's outing last night. If he's healthy, they're still the favorites in the AL imo.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 03:21 AM) All things considered, we've been pretty damn unlucky so far. Great plays made against us, errors by terrible fielders, errors by great fielders, uncharacteristic bullpen blowups. Thank goodness our offense is doing so well or else we'd be looking at a crappy start again. To add to that, our opposition has seemingly had a ton of bloop hits while we've hit a ton of rockets right at people. Still 6-3 despite some rocky moments this season so I'll definitely take that.

Gio and Huddy are the only 2 I'd want back. Both those guys are really freakin good, on the other hand, McCarthy is just injured all the team and Richard at best would be a 5th starter if he were on the Sox right now.

I'd be pretty shocked if it's a quick series either way. Vancouver is clearly the favorite but I don't see the series ending in 4 or 5 either way.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 07:35 PM) Would anybody outside of a Seattle fan had any beef with Weaver winning the CY last year? This guy is so good. I know Felix was better. But it wouldn't have been the atrocity that Bartolo Colon winning it in 2005 was. Not even close. Weaver is freakin fantastic but Felix was better last year, no question. EDIT: Apparently you got your edit in before I finished my post.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 06:19 PM) Tribe won again. So far we're the only team to beat them in a series Only team to beat them, period.

YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 05:43 PM) Jered Weaver Pretty average game.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 05:47 PM) What channel? NHL network. Which I usually don't get but for some reason I decided to randomly check it out hoping for the best and the game is on, weird but I'll take it.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 05:20 PM) Jimmy Johns on Grand in Gurnee Oh I know.

This 3rd period is going to be scary.

QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 03:35 PM) Brandon McCarthy mowing down the Twinkies today (7+innings so far; 0 runs on 8 hits; 5Ks; 0BBs) Attaboy Brandon. Finish them off. Edit: Of course right after I type this they get 2 hits with the middle of their order coming up... BMac gets relieved so he doesn't have to face Mourneau and Thome with runners at 2nd and 3rd. Friggin twinkies. Some old friends certainly helped us out in that series. Thank you Gio, thank you BMac. Speaking of Gio, I'd bet on him being an allstar this year, he's really freakin good.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 03:49 PM) Who do these Indians think they are right now? Seriously, make them stop...

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 04:46 PM) Love Quiznos, probably my favorite sandwich shop actually, just wasn't in the mood for it. I miss Quiznos and Jimmy Johns for that matter. Delicious.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 11:18 AM) Kelsey's has the same thing Would make sense I suppose. Never been to Kelsey's, been to Kendall's a bunch, so that's why I brought it up. Great deal.

James is the only player clearly ahead of Rose at this point. You can certainly make a case for some others but he's right there in the conversation for 2nd best player in the league.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 01:50 AM) Yes, if you are between the ages of 18-21, Kendalls and Kelsey's are good choices. Otherwise, that entire stretch of Lincoln is not for you. Kendalls on Friday's has a special where you pay 10 bucks from 6-9 for unlimited beer, wings and pizza, I don't care how old you are, you can't beat that deal.

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 08:11 PM) That's right someone here did say they could hit him. LOL I was trying to find the post, was it in the I am Drunk thread? Nope.
