QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 06:13 PM) Wow we are already at this point?? It doesn't take much for this board to get to this point.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 06:12 PM) And why isn't anyone pointing out that stupid ass stat about wins per dollar spent or whatever the f*** that meaningless stat was? Because Boston still looks a helluva lot worse.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 06:11 PM) Do you actually think some other team would pick up Dunn's contract? Go tell Kenny. Once he gets out of this current injury-related funk? Absolutely.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:59 PM) Pacers writer on twitter. "Jay, what is your reaction to Derrick Rose playing a full game on a broken ankle?"

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:27 PM) He does have toe pain that he's complaining about. Yeah, you got the point. Sigh.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:24 PM) f*** it, put Rios on the DL with vagina/toe pain. Oh come on fathom, you're more of an adult than this.

QUOTE (G&T @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:24 PM) That wasn't the call. It was a third option. Deng couldn't get to the outside and then fumbled the ball. He should have called a timeout. Korver was open but once Deng lost control of the ball he wasn't going to find him. I know it wasn't the call. Being unable to execute = crappy job.

Wow, you get Boozer open for 3? Crappy job there.

The rest would have helped. Maybe getting their butts handed to them and beaten will help more.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 02:00 PM) Balta, The sooner you stop comparing the effectiveness of weaponry on completely different battle fields, the better. That is not to say drone attacks will work, but its pretty pointless to assume they will automatically fail. But it is very, very easy to conclude, based on the fact that they have caused high numbers of civilian casualties when used in urban areas in Afpak, that if they're used in urban areas here, we will see the same result.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:03 PM) I'm all for giving Vizquel ABs at 3B and 2B 3-4 games a week, but I think Morel needs to stay on this team. I certainly don't want Morel sent down, just some extra days off.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 03:54 PM) Jose Bautista has reached base 10 straight times. Single in the 8th on Wednesday, 3 hits and 2 walks yesterday, and 3 hits and 1 walk today. Of course, he's only stayed on base 7 of those times. The other 3 he got to trot around real slow. He's like really, really f***ing good I still have no idea how the Hell that happened. But it really helps Torotno if he plays above that contract.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) I'm not a big fan of giving up on a rookie who has proven himself in the minors after 1 month, especially when the minor league talent is thin. I was the guy who hated, hated, hated it every time Mackowiak played out in CF over Anderson (ask the folks with memories)... And frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing some extra playing time for Vizquel.

Between the home court calls for the Refs and the Bulls just flat out being sloppy, this wasn't their game.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 04:54 PM) He is just about done w/ his adjustment period. His numbers in May will be considerably better than April. Yeah, he was supposedly doing the same thing when he was first promoted to AAA last year, and it took him a bit to get confident.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 01:19 PM) I don't remember anyone saying LaPorta was a mediocre prospect at the time of the deal. #7 draft pick, Brewers top prospect and #23 on Baseball America's list at the time of the trade. #22 was Carlos Gonzalez.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) His average fastball seems down this year, but I haven't seen any stats to back that up. Just feels he not popping the mitt like he did when we first got him last year. Unless it was really down in his last game, it's right where it was last year.

Dunn breaks out.

Prove me wrong, Edwin.

I have an exam to write.

The government of Mexico has retained an American law firm and is apparently considering filing a civil suit/RICO case against American firearm manufacturers due to the flood of US made guns pouring across that border. As usual, I await people telling me that it's not actually happening.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 09:24 PM) I was worried about Mark before the season even started. He's just not 'fooling' anybody. At least not like he was before. League may have finally caught up. If Rios had caught a ball he should have caught, we'd be right in this.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 08:08 PM) i missed the heckler, what was his beef? Just was taunting Q after he fouled off a pitch on a check swing with a 3-2 count. Dude was loud enough that the mic picked him up nice and clear. The next pitch went 400 feet.

I really hope Q got a chance to glance at that heckler. That was solid.
