QUOTE (Disco72 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 02:39 PM) (I assume JPN means that KW won't fire Ozzie). I'm convinced that the correct word there is "Can't", not "won't".

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 02:39 PM) That's not the same and you know it. But I digress. This isn't filibuster. I'm not making a big deal out of this. Yes, actually it's 100% the same. It's a word you shouldn't be using as an insult.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 02:33 PM) I clearly stated that using the "R" word was not me insulting anybody mentally challenged. I clearly stated that using the "N" word was not me insulting anybody who is African American. Somehow, I don't think that defense would fly

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 02:32 PM) Interesting. Lilly has 25 hits in 94 at bats and seven are home runs. He has 11 walks which is pretty good, and 26 strike outs in 94 at bats. Isn't baseball a crazy game. A skinny guy like that with seven home runs (just 13 RBI). I like the Bomb, but seven of his 25 hits are dingers. Crazy. Eleven of hits are extra base. Only 14 singles. Really, at this point, it's flat out impossible to project what he'd have done given nearly every day playing time.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 01:31 PM) I have to disagree with you on Webber. He averaged around 21 ppg, 10 rpg, and 4 apg for his career, including a four year stretch where he averaged 25 ppg, 10.5 rpg, 4.8 apg, 1.5 bpg, and 1.5 spg. Webber's problem was always that he could dominate the lane but he insisted on taking poor percentage outside shots. That combined with a microfracture surgery is the reason he's not thought of as a HOF-er.

Nothing to see here. Edit: Just a comment. This is a real impressive, detailed, thorough bludgeoning of the NRC by the AP. I'd consider contributing to them if they had a "paypal" link on the side for this one.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 11:35 AM) I think like 94% of my high school girls basketball team and the coach wound up being lesbians. None of them were hot and the coach looked like that woman from glee. True story. That aside, I gained a different perspective on these things after one of my best friends came out a few years ago. At first I was just disgusted that I was such an ass towards those people before. Now I'm just kind of sad that it took a close friend coming out for me to gain that perspective. You had a 50 person high school girls basketball team?

That's what she said.

Read your own words.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 10:39 AM) I think the platooning of Brent is what kept him looking so good for so long. And I think the lack of playing time has inhibited him from developing any sort of consistency in his batting.

Perhaps I'm just replying to you folks.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 10:27 AM) I was like... "May"? Sean May? Who? and immediately pondered how the Grizz got him and why we'd want him. I see you meant Mayo. I don't see why the Grizzlies would do that, but yes, please. Crap, that would be a typo. Oops.

Paper in Memphis floats a deal centered around Korver for Mayo.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 10:08 AM) I keep waiting for the fall to reality to happen, but we are almost halfway through the season. It is amazing what Humber has given us. It's also how well he's actually throwing when he's in there. He's not walking anyone. That curveball can still wipe people out. He gets hit some if he doesn't have it, but since he's not walking anyone and pitchign ahead of people, he's able to get around that sometimes.

Never the first one to post in here in a day, always the last.

Let the thread die!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 09:55 AM) I hate when they don't do these on the weekend. I greatly prefer the Friday-Saturday-Sunday day games. It makes a ton of financial sense if these games are guaranteed sellouts to have them on weekdays.

Dump a ****load of oil on that team.

Konerko is now tied with one "Harold Baines" on the all time HR list. Wonder what that guy's doing now.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 19, 2011 -> 06:51 PM) If a couple of guys have a bit of a down second half, can he seriously vie for the CY? The seasons Beckett and Verlander are having make it rough... Edit and Weaver.

I have the word "Phil" remembered by my computer in the topic description line. It's auto-inserting it.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 19, 2011 -> 06:48 PM) You mean it's back!? Wiped out a guy on it.

There's that slider!!!!!

C'mon SS. 123 inning would be great for him.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 19, 2011 -> 06:42 PM) How did Dunn do in RF? Any excitement? Nothing too scary.
