QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 07:56 PM) You guys are nuts. It was a nice way to pick up a run. If Juan has to play, it was good use of Juan. its a nice way to pick up a run in the bottom of the 9th in a tie game. in the third, in that situation, it is a wasted out and a wasted opportunity

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 07:55 PM) It's sad that we have to resort to squeeze plays in the third inning. they are showcasing pierre's wide variety of skills. next up, the weak grounder to the pitcher

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 07:31 PM) Unfortunately I know what he's doing. Giving Beckham 3-4 days off to get his head clear like he has done with other guys in godawful slumps. In a way I blame Gordo for his suckiness cause that's why Ozzie's done this. lol. greg i have to hand it to you, you are good at absolving ozzie from blame. when he puts the worst players on the field, it is the players fault

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 07:25 PM) I agree, but it's only one inning. Not so hard to watch ... yet. It seems like we've given the Cubs a break not playing Beckham. Omar is too old. He and Juan at the top of the order is ridiculously bad. your favorite manager knows how to put these lineups together, doesnt he?

yay for power outages in sleepy hollow at 7:09. yay for smart phones

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 04:54 PM) No one wanted that job. Rose aside, the Bulls didn't look that good. you should keep spouting your opinion as fact on the baseball side

so, the cm punk leaving the wwe situation, a work or for real? he seems sincere, but this could turn into a tremendous program if the wwe lets punk do what he wants with it. i just cant see punk going to tna or back to roh

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 11:46 AM) Hopefully Pierre gets 5 or 6 ABs. with RISP

Nobody wanted to do it today, so I will take care of it. Lets get this party started

Hanley was disagreeing with Rongey this morning on this "return on investment" idea. He said there is no return here, at this point you have to turn to your other investment in Viciedo cant say I think otherwise

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 06:00 AM) I have no problem admitting that I cried watching 500 Days of Summer simply because it's eerily similar to my situation. As far as I'm concerned, that's one of the best movies I've ever watched. The only thing I don't understand is Everything about the movie was genuinely awesome. It moves quickly, so it doesn't exactly mimic real life, and her I do understand the length restrictions of a movie, and it was absolutely phenomenal otherwise and obviously hit me on a very personal level because I've gone a very similar experience. I think it hit a little too close to home and made me realize that I'm still chasing my Summer Finn. I think that's the sign of a good movie. I think might think too much too. (didn't dare bother to read the whole thread, didn't care how outdated the post was, but didn't want to ruin it) I also loved the movie. The little sister didnt bother me because the entire movie was a little over the top anyways so it fit.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 02:38 AM) Signing up to coach the Bulls wasn't all that desirable a job for Tom Thibodeau at the time, was it? Um, yes it was.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 06:31 PM) 1.I'm trying to figure out what the JM word means? I am having a brain fart on JM and what Ozzie said. I also thought this was an opportunity to make you a better person and just remove the R word from your possible choice of words. And you said you'll remove the word from your vocabulary which is great. 2. Yes you have to watch what you say nowadays, though I still like to wish people a merry christmas. If somebody said happy hanukah to me I would say thanks I wouldn't give a s*** that I don't celebrate Hanukah (sp). Jay Mariotti

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 10:19 AM) Danny McBride can write? Woah! He wrote a lot of Eastbound and Down

get him to the greek was ok. the "jeffrey" scene is my favorite

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2011 -> 02:14 PM) You guys act like this is a desirable job. With no prospects coming up and an aging team with no bullpen, we got problems for any manager. Cito might be smart. A guy with no other options. A have a sneaky feeling we'll just name Cora. And you act like Ozzie is the end-all be-all of managers and as soon as he leaves the Sox he will reel off 10 straight world championships.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 19, 2011 -> 02:08 PM) Pierre is also undoubtedly one of the worst everyday starters in the majors. The guy you love to hate, Dunn, is getting on at a higher rate. To compound that, Pierre's defense has been awful, eclipsed only by his baserunning. Facts have no place in this argument. Pierre=good, Ozzie=God. The end

Dunn aint playing first if he plays. He is playing outfield. Even Stone said tonite you might see him in left. It would be asinine to sit him with him lighting it up lately.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 05:10 PM) I agree completely with J4L. We had a great chance to take over the city but I think we still do. The cubs are going backwards in every facet imaginable. There's still plenty of time. I can't figure out this offense one bit, like there's some disease lingering where the bats are kept. Why can a Twins team full of minor leaguers knock our pitching around while we can't touch Pavano or Blackburn? Those kids must have been sitting fastball the entire game and it worked. Why can't we command pitch counts? I hate every AB I watch almost. And AJ is one of the worst baseball players on the planet and he bats in the wrong spot; he almost always kills any work the heart of the order has done. It's all about our hitting the last few years. That's it IMO. We flat out can't hit. We can always pitch and we can hit every once in a while, but we can't hit overall. Walker's head on a pike by sundown or im outa here. They didnt even really knock around the pitching. They scored 5 runs in 2 games against the Sox starters. The Sox scored 1 run.

is there a moratorium on trades right now until a CBA is worked out?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 01:35 PM) And I also gave a reason. You think Chicago baseball has a history of excellence? Ozzie is the guy who brought us a title. Those who think the Sox won in spite of him are nuts. Where did I say chicago has a history of baseball excellence? You didnt give a reason, you gave a s***ty prediction, like you always do. Ozzie didnt bring us the title, he didnt play the games. Hell, even Ozzie himself will tell you that the PLAYERS win the games, not the manager. I never said anything about the players winning in spite of him either. You read way too much into everything and create arguments and conversations out of thin air.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 01:31 PM) Glad you recognize this. This indeed will happen and he'll win more WS the rest of his career than we will in the same span. And he'll have way more playoff appearances. Why? This is Chicago baseball. It was a miracle he and the Sox won the WS, a miracle that I'll take, obviously. greg775 has spoken

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 01:25 PM) I was cracking up at this, and now I laugh everytime I see your avatar. Though, the dancing one may be even funnier. The dancing one was extremely funny, but I loved the strut. Really though, the comments on that movie breakdown had me in tears
