QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 04:46 PM) If the CBA stays as-is, I have no doubt that's exactly what would happen. Their bench would fill out happily with the MLE and veterans exemptions every year, they'd be the deepest team in the NBA next year from guys who are free agents and want a ring, and they'll be in a position to have lots of expiring deals every year. They couldn't do it this year prior to the season because they had to actually sign the little 3, but they were able to wrap things up once the season got underway and other teams started making cuts. Mike Bibby turned down $5 million in exchange for a ring and he's going to get it. What would prevent another 3 headed monster team to form like the one in Miami?

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 04:40 PM) No, we lost 3 of 4 in Toronto.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 04:13 PM) Meanwhile, Dan Hudson is helping that D'Backs team to first place in the NL West. I never understood how Edwin Jackson was worth a top 100 prospect. These are some excellent and original thoughts. I don't understand why this trade hasn't been talked about more. Maybe we should start a new thread and get people's opinions on the matter.

Red Sawx blow.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 03:28 PM) Considering Paulie led the team to a World Series Championship, I'd say the gap is closed a bit. This isn't basketball. You need an all around awesome roster to win a championship.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 03:22 PM) I just realized I made him my PTC today. Ouch. Bad choice.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 03:20 PM) Dunn is back to earth. Back to Earth? When did he ever leave?

I feel weird saying this but lets go Twins tonight!

Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Dunn.

That might be the worst line by a baseball announcer ever.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 03:09 PM) Don't ya love it when Sale is good? You sound like my Polish mom telling me about the latest sale at Kohl's.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) A lot of people still like Rios and Dunn. Only one or three think Juan is even serviceable. Excellent point. I love it when you analyze.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 03:04 PM) Stoney - "Thank goodness for 420". Always knew he was a pothead, with a name like Stone. LOL Awesome

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 03:02 PM) I'm pretty sure everyone is pissed about Rios and Dunn. Where in the f*** have you been and what the f*** are you talking about? Are you on drugs today? You really think people aren't complaining about Rios and Dunn? The Official "Alex Rios Sucks" Thread got 230 replies for f***s sake. Wake up.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 03:00 PM) Yes Matt and many Sox fans don't mind the s***tiness of Rios and Dunn? Huh? You haven't noticed people complaining ad nauseum about those two?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 02:52 PM) So people are seriously complaining about a hitter taking a walk to load the bases with only 1 out in an inning? Dunn has been beyond awful this year but complaining about him taking a walk in that situation is absurd. Yes I am complaining. I don't think his 4 HRs and 8 RBIs are worth the huge contract he received. I want to occasionally see him knock a run in or two.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 02:51 PM) Pierre's hitting .260. In Sox management eyes that's dandy. The weakest, least impactful .260 you'll ever see.

Gavin still pitching with the heart of their order due up? EDIT: Stupid gamecast slow to update

That was a nice example of Mr Big RBI, multimillionaire Adam Dunn not coming through with a big hit in the inning. His handful of walks this year have not led to many big innings. At some point he needs to knock in some runs.

Two things I don't want to see together in the same thread. Hot DP action and Granny.

Please no hot DP action here.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 02:33 PM) Ok Rios has to come in and PH right here right? Not if Ozzie is the manager.

Following via gameday. Is he getting intentionally walked? The first 2 look way outside. EDIT: NM

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 02:30 PM) When was the last time Dunn had a hit? Some time during the Reagan administration.

I'd intentionally walk Konerko here.
