WIN IT FOR PRINCE

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 09:10 AM) If Danks gets lit up, we riot eh, we riot pretty much every game thread, win or lose

Brad Biggs was on the score this morning musing that the Browns will take Elliott at 8 if he is there, to keep the OSU star in state and try and drive up fan interest. Cardale makes sense too but if they take him at 8, well, that is the Browns for you

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 08:43 PM) HUH??? If we start to hit once the weather heats up, then so will our opponents. So instead of 2-1 games we will have 6-5 games. It doesn't really work like that

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 05:03 PM) I would not trade Chris Sale for a LH hitter at the deadline............................... Lmao wut. He didn't suggest that

is Chip Kelly still running the Eagles

You dont bench a guy after his first at bat. You bench a guy after a bunch of bad at bats strung together, for the entire game. Like today

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 09:31 AM) He didn't even get owned, he was dominant the entire game before he ran out of gas in that inning because Robin left him in way too long. If i remember correctly, that pen was superterribadawful and going to the Pen was the nuclear option In other words, sticking with Sale was probably the best bet

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 09:32 AM) The White Sox are 9-5. Cut that bulls*** out. In fairness, that bulls*** was posted in November

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 06:52 AM) Actually yes, it is too soon. You don't know what you really need until summer and you don't know what kind of season the possible hole filler is having. "It is never too soon to set up your rotation order for the playoffs"

This game just got edgy

Ariel Helwani is saying it is legit as well. I think he still ends up fighting, but you have to wonder if being at the fight last week where the fighter died had an effect on McGregor

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) A year or two ago, someone on this forum cited an article, which refuted the conventional wisdom regarding the importance of "protection" for the best hitters in a lineup. The assertion was that having a good hitter, following a given run producer had little effect on the performance of that hitter. The article provided statistical data to back up the assertion that the entire notion of "protection" for hitters is fallacious. I remember reacting with skepticism. On the one hand the data seemed to prove the hypothesis, but it just didn't make any sense. How could a lineup consisting of just one really dangerous hitter not be adversely affected? Why would opposing teams give that one good hitter anything to hit, when they could easily go around him, and elect to take their chances with the rest of the relatively easy outs, in the lineup? The makeup of this current Sox offense would seem to be a case in point. Why would you give Abreu anything to hit, when you can go around him to face Frazier? If Jose chases bad pitches, which he appears to be doing, you might get him out. If he takes his walk, isn't it better to gamble on getting out the likes of Frazier, Cabrera and Garcia? Melky has been hot, recently but he is not a big home run threat. Until Frazier and, or someone else gets hot, and garners some respect, the best Abreu might be able to do is get on base with a walk, only to be stranded there, as a result of the ineptitude of this pathetic offense. The front office counted on Frazier to be the clean up hitter, to provide protection to Abreu, as well as being a big run producer, in his own right. If he doesn't figure it out soon, this team is going to struggle mightily to score runs. Nobody is denying that if Frazier has a Dunn/Laroche-esque season that the Sox are in trouble. They are only saying its been two weeks so lets stop saying the Sox are in trouble if Frazier has a Dunn/Laroche-esque season over and over. We know

i cannot reiterate enough how much i hate John Feinsteins sports minutes on the score. I really like Boomer Esiason, Jim Rome, I can tolerate Brandon Tierney and Tiki Barber, but I just cant stand Feinstein

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 09:08 AM) Read on Twitter on my phone and because the twitter web app has decided to do the stupid "best tweets" thing that I can't reverse, I can't find it. But, Browns looking to trade down, but struggling since now teams don't know what QB would be available. I'd say it's 99% certain 1-2 are QBs at this point. It's funny, in this draft I"m not sure BPA applies to Bears in round 1. They'll probably have several players rated the same where they draft and can go based on need of DL/OL/CB/LB I saw that the Browns are looking to trade down also, it was @profootballtalk

If Lucas wants to build this absurd concrete love letter to himself, then he can spend his own 1.2B dollars

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 06:14 AM) Bears are going to pick best player available regardless of positon for first time in a long time. you mean for the first time since last season, when they picked Kevin White

@AdamSchefter After medical rechecks, Notre Dame's Jaylon Smith is not expected to play in 2016 and teams are unsure when he will play again, per sources.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 18, 2016 -> 02:43 PM) Sale's ERA and FIP are a touch worse than his 2014 numbers and his K/9 is below both of the past two seasons. His 1-hit shutout stands out but he really isn't any better than expected. I will grant that Robertson's 0.00 ERA and 0.20 WHIP are probably unsustainable. iirc he started off the exact same way last season

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Apr 18, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) You forgot David Robertson and Chris Sale. Sale is 3-0 and Robertson is 5-5 saves and has been literally perfect. Both are advertised as good and have been great. This Sale guy is merely good? 3-0 is surprising?

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 18, 2016 -> 02:28 PM) It's getting to the point where you have to consider moving him. He's not a number 1 guy on a championship team. He would be a great number 2, but what number 1 is going to want to play with that Ego? He's become a bit of a monster. Tom Thibodeau is a leading candidate for the Minnesota job. Should be a fascinating team but in the wrong conference at the moment. He is pursuing head coach AND president of Basketball Ops. He never wants another Gar in the way

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 18, 2016 -> 11:43 AM) Les Bowen ‏@LesBowen 1h1 hour ago NFL source calls Myles Jack "a time bomb" whose knee could give him several good years, or not. Bone and cartilage starting to break away. There has been word this week that Jack could fall big time next week. That is a shame, when healthy he is a monster talent
