Teahen at 3rd should be horrible.

Tony LaRussa?

I will say, this whole idea of babying Mark Buehrle that I've heard tossed around the past 12 hours has been unsettling. The guy is one of our top paid players, he has a rubber arm, and he can throw more than 97 pitches.

Please wash the funk out of our mouths.

Their best, IMO, is The Colour and the Shape, followed by There Is Nothing Left to Lose and then Self-Titled. I'll take "Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace" as their 2nd best, behind "The Colour and the Shape".

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 12:15 PM) I generally believe curses are for Cub fans, but the Hawks have the so-called "President's Trophy Curse" on their side in the series. Its been "in effect" the last two years, and aren't things like that supposed to happen in threes? I'd rather call in the Curse of the Daggar, Chelsea, since the Canuckleheads already fear it with the weight of a thousand dragons.

Monday Morning QB. Matty gave up the leadoff double, JP dropped a flyball. At some point you have to trust that your well-paid players will play like it. I'm sure after last night, Ozzie is going to make some changes.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 11:39 AM) What is a "pure" PG? I find it hard for anyone to argue that there is a better player that Rose at the PG position, period. Pure or impure (whatever the hell that means), there isnt another PG you would take over him if you were starting a team. I'd take it one step further. There isn't another PG you would take over him if you were starting a team, or if you had one game to win right now.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 11:06 AM) Compared to last year it was a down year for the conference. Last year everyone in finished with 100+ except one team. Steve while I certainly agree with you that anything can happen, 97 wouldn't have been a top 4 finish ever in the modern era. 97 points would have had them finish 8th, 6th, 5th, 8th, and 7th in those 5 seasons. Good points. They would have been 5th in the East last year, but I think my brain is still thinking in terms of pre-lockout point totals where my NHL brain was developed to its fullest. The damn points for OTL's have made the totals add up a lot higher. Either way, Hawks have a shot (I must tell myself this), and Marty Turco is absolutely awful and nowhere near a great backup. Let's hope we need not see that turd again.

QUOTE (Felix @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:03 PM) Chris Paul > Derrick Rose Have at it. I don't argue with drunk people.

I will say... this year was quite rough in the Western Conference. In most seasons, 97 points is good for a top 4 finish, and this year just one more win would have netted us home ice advantage. The Blackhawks aren't your normal 8-seed, and any series can go any way in the West this year.

Happiness is watching Cardinals games with radio audio to hear the great John Rooney.

You hear that, Juan? The 12 people who showed up are not happy.

This team should be 9-1 after tonight. This is so frustrating.

Hey! Alexei got a bunt down!

Juan Pierre hit that wall that made him useless. He almost f***ed that up too. That s*** is inexcusable.

Crain wants the job. That 2-seam was nasty.

You have got to be bleeping me.

Thornton is blowing another one.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 08:01 PM) Hey guys if I want to watch the post-game show, what channel should I tune into? oh you haven't heard? It's been canceled.

Konerko is really fast.

You can cancel the postgame show.

Get well, get well soon, Adam Dunn.
