QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 01:36 AM) Don't get me wrong, LeBron needs to play better but he didn't disappear in the 4th quarter tonight like he did in game 4. He still needs to be more assertive and attack the basket more when his jumper isn't dropping like the last couple of games but he was really good at creating easy looks for his teammates in the 4th quarter tonight. Completely different performance from his complete no show in game 4. Y'all know what might have helped Lebron find a groove if his jumper wasn't falling? A rudimentary low-post game. /Reminder.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 01:29 AM) Historical stats never mean anything in any series in any sport. The '04 Red Sox obviously didn't care that no team had ever come back from 0-3 to win a best of 7 series. They just add an interesting, even if meaningless overall, dynamic. That's fairly silly. The Reds Sox clearly cared about the fact that no team had been down 0-3. They played games 3-6 like a team that had its backs totally against the wall. They won game 4 in extra innings in a back and forth and back and forth game, with Wakefield coming out of the bullpen what, 2 days before he'd start game 6? They stitched together the ankle of one of their guys basically with duct tape. That team certainly cared about being down 3-0, they just reacted to it by clawing tooth and nail to not give up.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 01:40 AM) I don't think people are giving enough credit to Shawn Marion. He's draped on LeBron like brothas be draped on fat white women (not me, obviously). I know AI2 plays LeBron pretty well. But Marion has done the best job of any individual defender on him I've seen this year. Is Marion actually doing better than Deng did?

A 16000 square foot house in Scottadale.

There's the captain. Again.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 10:37 PM) Cant even imagine what Lebron is thinking with Wade being injured. Thank god bosh is having a good game so they'll blame someone else if I lose.

Pierre just laid down a perfect bunt single.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 10:22 PM) Why the hell was Rios trying to steal there? If we don't give up a run on the basepaths, the scorekeepers win.

A bunt hit!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 10:01 PM) It tastes like s*** even when drunk. Volume though....

Rios is going to go home feeling quite happy about today/

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 09:51 PM) MB looking better last couple of innings. The what, 11 in a row retired agree.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 09:35 PM) Why did Miami want to get Bibby to replace Chalmers? Mario has been far superior to Bibby from what I have seen this post season. In the regular season their offense got much, much stronger when they added in bibby. They haven't needed high levels of points in the playoffs so the more athletic younger defender has been more useful.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 09:22 PM) True, but at that first AB ended w/ a BS punchout, and he did hit the flyball about 380 feet. At least he isn't looking bad in his ABs. 6 early runs on a night when Carlos is 0/3 is good.

Gotta like burning their pen early in a 4 game series with M-56 on the mound for us.

An alexei walk, a Dunn hr, what a weird inning. Next thing you know we will not gidp.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 09:01 PM) Yes I agree that we should just sit on the sidelines while terrible things happen because if we intervene other people may die. So instead we should let certain people kill other people, because at least that way some people survive regardless of how terrible they are. If your position is that we should let tyrants kill people, because in attempting to stop them, we may kill innocent people, we just have a fundamental difference of opinion on what the reaction should be to genocide. Once again you've undermined your own position. You don't believe strongly enough in this goal that you have to laughably call Libya a genocide. You have to exaggerate. A legit genocide is a unique thing. A dragged out civil war is a totally different beast. This is a 3+ month civil war we've been in the middle of. If there was a legit genocide going on and we just used airstrikes for 3 months, we'd have a million corpses and we'd be doing some real soul searching about why we let it happen. Instead, we've imposed a 3 month stalemate where they are still fighting hard for the same territory they were in April.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 08:59 PM) Even I agree with this If we don't win it this year, that's 3 years in a row where we failed to live up to expectations. Conversely, if somehow we can get this thing, that's 2 central titles in 4 years. One of those is fireable, the other gets an extension.

I recall the buffet being like $30 a person, but that was a while ago. View is great though. That one mariner nearly hit the windows yesterday with a foul ball.

When all the people are dead; there will be no more oppression or suffering

Walk works

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 08:33 PM) So if the Sox, with their 125+ mil payroll (barely) win a s***ty division... it will negate the fact that Ozzie is a terrible manager and has made some especially idiotic decisions this year? I think not. Frankly, yes. The only fair way to evaluate things is in aggregate.

Well one is better than none

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 08:33 PM) I think Rios is trying to shorten his swing and just make contact. Dunn gets hit!!! haha he didnt even try and move It can't be easy to hit Dunn as far back as he stands from the plate
