Man that Oakland defense is UGLY.

Hawks dominated the 1st, but nothing to show for it.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 17, 2015 -> 01:36 PM) Yeah, and you thought the Bulls would beat the Cavs. #bequiet. Uh, no.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 17, 2015 -> 12:47 PM) Amazing to me that even post-2005 so many Sox fans are awkward 13-year old girl insecure when it comes to the cubs. Face it, people. The Cubs are coming. They'll have the best offense in the game by 2017. And they have the system/resources to get the pitching they need. I hold faith that your MLB prognostications are no better then your NBA ones.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 17, 2015 -> 03:18 AM) 3 earned runs in 14 innings for the waiver wire material 5th starter, keep up the good work Danksy! All of the sudden his mechanics look really good. His fastball is touching 90-91, and he is staying on top of and through his change up. The change is finishing low in the zone on a consistent basis.

Odd strike zone tonight. Ump giving six inches on the side of the RH batters box, nothing off of the LH batters side of the plate.

You can bet on one thing. Rowands wife being a gymnast will come up at least once.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ May 15, 2015 -> 02:34 PM) I wonder at what point Abreu decides to opt out of the contract and into arbitration. He is currently scheduled to make $10.5, $11.5 and $12 million in ’17, ’18 and ’19. The current record awarded to a first year eligible position player is $10 million to Ryan Howard after his MVP season. Last year Rosenthal guessed that Mike Trout’s arbitration years would along the lines of $12, $16 and $20 million. Abreu is not as valuable as Trout, but let’s just say he gets something along the same line. That would give him a chance at $48 million vs a guaranteed $34 million in those three years. Is it worth risking those guaranteed years for a chance to make a few extra million? My guess would be that he waits until after 2017 to opt out. My guess is he opts out in 2017 and gets a new 6 to 7 year deal with a huge nine figure number behind it.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 14, 2015 -> 08:04 PM) yes but jose is a unique case as an int FA. all drafted players are subject to arb unless they are good enough to get a long term deal eg Sale, Q, etc. Jose negotiated it into his contract, which was smart for them. Most Cubans try to get a free agency out before the six year period written into their deal. My guess is that an arb option was a compromise so that Abreu wasn't leaving money on the table in case he ended up being a superstar.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 14, 2015 -> 10:57 PM) You guys wish I was going to be on TV. I would quite literally pay to hear you and Hawk call a game.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 15, 2015 -> 07:25 AM) He's going to choke in the playoffs every year? That's unfortunate. We're going to the playoffs every year? Yeah!

The Bulls flat out looked defeated after the Cavs put the 2nd quarter run on them. The rest of the game, every loose ball got to Cleveland, they got every big rebound, including most of the key offensive ones, and the offense broke down. They looked like a team that knew they weren't winning. It was sad.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ May 14, 2015 -> 04:50 PM) If he is arb-eligible after the 2016 season, does that mean the White Sox can lose him to another team? Does anybody know? No. It means he can go to arbitration if he wants to opt out of his current deal. We still have control of him for six years.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 14, 2015 -> 04:19 PM) Only if you assume he owes you transparency. Which he doesn't. His first priority is the White Sox.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2015 -> 03:59 PM) I gotta disagree here and go with 2k5. If you're asked about a struggling player, or even a coach on a struggling team, and you're the GM, if you don't give that player a "vote of confidence" then you're undermining that player/coach even more. There's a reason why the worst thing for a head coach is to receive a public vote of confidence from his GM, that means the GM is being asked about that coach and whether or not he needs replaced. Yeah, the last thing you want is for him to either ignore the comment, or tell the truth. That makes for an even bigger story then this does.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ May 14, 2015 -> 03:45 PM) Pretty sure that's the definition of two-faced Welcome to the real world. The Sox are more interested in protecting their product then they are with telegraphing every single move they make. Why in the world would they go to the media to tell them where they are looking to make a move? Why would you give that kind of power to the other 29 teams in MLB?
