Very excited for tonights card. No idea why but I have a gut feeling that Maia is going to pull off a sub to beat Anderson tonight.

On the bright side, despite the homer Freddy has looked absolutely fantastic, too bad we still can't hit.

Seriously? Really? Honestly? This thread is a joke, no?

Dude has an insane arm, he'll be a closer one of these days, no doubt in my mind.

The offensive talent just isn't good enough this year to blame Walker at all(obviously it'd take a lot more than 5 games to make an assessment anyways). That being said he should have been canned a while ago, it'll take a lot for Walker ever to get fired.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 02:22 PM) If he could hit .280 and put up a .350 OBP, as he is capable of, then yeah, why not? Cause he's not capable of that anymore.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) I'd consider putting him in the 2 slot, though. Seriously dude? You're in an interesting mood today apparently.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 01:11 PM) I told him my story and that I am willing to do whatever it takes to make up for it, whether it be taking a make up test this upcoming week or pooling the midterm pts into the final test grade (adding the 25% to what I get on the final). I guess Ill have to see how he responds. He seems like a nice guy, but I have never been in this situation before. In my experience, almost all professors will let you take a make up exam. I wouldn't fret over it too much, I'm sure you'll be fine.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) I didn't realize you did a scientific study on this. I'd like to look at your detailed findings. It's pretty common knowledge that most baseball players as long as they're still capable of playing a position absolutely despise being the dh.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 12:21 PM) He's probably the worst of the OF's when it comes to range and, although the shoulder injury may have taken a toll, probably one of the better ones when it comes to throwing. Eh, I'd still say he's 3rd in throwing when you count in accuracy and strength.

I'm expecting a huge season out of Danks so hopefully he starts that up tonight. Becks goes 0-0 with 3 sacrifice bunts and a walk.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 01:38 PM) A runner on 2B with two outs to work with, and all you need is a single. It's a chance worth taking. Maybe they walk Quentin, but Konerko is unbelievably hot at the moment. Define unbelievably hot because he had 2 good games before being 0 for 3 at that point yesterday in the 9th inning. QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 01:50 PM) But when you need one run, the highest percentage move is still to sacrifice and get the runner into scoring position with less than two outs. This will never change. Not when you're taking the bats out of your two best hitters hands.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 12:02 PM) CQ is moving a lot better than he was last year, at least to my eyes. Although, that's not saying much. I actually think he's been moving pretty decently out there. He's probably still the worst of the 4 outfielders if Andruw is going to play but at this point, no one is sure if he's going to be comfortable dh'ing and his bat his too damn important to have him make that switch. Now if his defense becomes a liability then that's a different story, but at this point it's certainly not.

QUOTE (Ranger @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:56 AM) Bunting him over in the 9th inning is fine. I wouldn't have done it in the 7th, though. Giving up your two best hitters in the 9th is fine? I don't think so.

I don't think I've ever been so angry at an Ozzie Guillen move like I was last night when he made Becks bunt twice and that's saying something. Gotta love in the 9th how our own damn manager took the bat out of our two best hitters hands, brilliant f***in managing.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 02:48 PM) I'd give him a round of applause. The guy is class and deserves to be treated with class. But I hope he strikes out every AB. ^Ya, that

Kinda odd that the first start Jones gets is against a guy with a semi side winding motion. That being said, I'm happy he's in there and I'm interested to see how his swing looks.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 10:36 AM) I also was bummed that our pen blew a game that was tied (that happened so f***ing much last year). Eh, Tony Pena got beat by a good pitch that was blooped in for a rbi, I wouldn't look too much into that. As far as Jenks, the wildness is obviously a bit concerning but it's not like he was getting hammered out there and lets wait until he gets into a save situation before we decide that he's done as a closer. He's never been good in non save situations and that's something you think Ozzie would have realized by now.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 05:09 PM) This is just unbelievable what's happening. Quote myself here, cause I just talked to my buddy at the athletics office. It's a done deal that they're transferring. Unf***in real.

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 04:32 PM) SIU should just cut the program if KD and Booker leave. I give up. This is just unbelievable what's happening.

Think I just hit rock bottom in my life by joining that group.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 05:39 PM) PTI shouldn't be close to being an option. Best out there IMO Around the Horn sucks. It was better with Kellerman but just seems like a clusterf*ck. Ditch it and make PTI an hour. SportsNation won me over with their Karate Kid episode. I'd assume that's pretty much unanimous about PTI. Agreed on ATH. Reali is actually my favorite person on the show, everyone else is either extremely idiotic or can't talk at all and it's quite frustrating to listen to. SportsNation is just a fun show imo. Cowherd does piss me off at times but I do like Beadle a lot and it'll usually keep me entertained over the hour. My answer to the original question in this thread though would definitely be Rome is Burning.

Sportsnation actually grew on me. I hated it when it first started, now I'm actually a fan. And ya, Beadle ain't bad to look at.
