Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 31m Further tests (MRI) on Jose Abreu confirmed inflammation. No underlying tear. In boot next several days, re-evaluated during home stand.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 19, 2014 -> 04:37 PM) I think you'd have to do a three teamer, but i'm just saying, there's bound to be a great offer out there. I dunno when Thibs became this untradeable asset. He's amazing, but talent>coaching every day of the week. Bulls needs talent. They have a great 6th man in Taj, a good, if not overachieving center in Noah, and a broken MVP. You can't run that crap out there for a third year and expect different results. You have a coach that is getting you probably 15-20 wins above the teams talent level. Unless you get a return like that for him, why the f*** would you let him walk?

Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 4h Sabathia is going to be out until at least July, Cashman tells me. Story to follow shortly #Yankees

JIM BOWDEN ‏@JimBowdenESPNxm 3h Hanley Ramirez reps asking for more than Shin-Soo Choo 7-year $130m….and Ramirez has played 150g or more 5 times in his career..he’ll get it

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 19, 2014 -> 02:07 PM) The thing to note is...if the Bulls could get a player like that but it depleted their roster so much that they were waiting a year in order to get an extra draft pick and the MLE available, then you do have to make sure you can extend the guy before doing the trade. It can't be a situation like Dwight Howard to L.A. where you are going to build the roster around him long-term but you dont' have him signed long-term, because the way you just wrote it involves saying "we're a first or second round team in 2015 but we'll be deep enough to make a 2015/2016 run". That could be the right move, but getting him signed becomes paramount. Love is not really being shy about what his intentions are. If you trade for him, it will be pretty obvious if he wants to be here or not.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 19, 2014 -> 01:11 PM) The new FB app sucks as the most recent feed is hidden. "oh switch to paper" yeah that doesnt do most recent either. Yeah, the "most recent" thing being hard to find sucks.

More interesting than who they trade, will be who they target. Have they changed their minds at looking for another catcher? Does pitching pop back onto the list? OF's?

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ May 19, 2014 -> 12:20 PM) I know how Abreu must be feeling. My face hurts seriously all the time because it is so beautiful. There's nothing I can do about it. It hurts the more time I spend in the sun. So I try to stay indoors but its hard to do that. Quit while you are ahead.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 19, 2014 -> 12:56 PM) I'd very likely do this as well but with the caveat that the Bulls would have to have some idea of how to fill the SG and SF holes that they'd be creating. If you get Kevin Love, you can wait a year to get a mid-level exception, or you could package only one of this years picks, and the Bulls pick next year... or something like that. Again Mirotic probably becomes a true trade commodity because you don't really need the guy if you already have Noah and Love here. Maybe he gets put into the deal instead of a pick.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 19, 2014 -> 11:43 AM) That isnt perpective, that is an extreme And that streak ended two weeks ago.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 19, 2014 -> 11:01 AM) Brandon Marshall is on The View. May have just signed a contract extension. 3 years, $30m. ESPN reporting $40 million.

QUOTE (TRU @ May 19, 2014 -> 08:40 AM) Heres what bothers me most about it. Our rules are 7 innings or 55 minutes, ok well we are losing 20-2 after 3 innings and about 25 minutes why call the game? I would rather get to play it out then go home 30 minutes early because we suck. I mean we did pay to play. No slaughter rule in the league? We had a rule that if you were up 20 after 3, 15 after 4, or 10 after 5, the game was over.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 19, 2014 -> 07:48 AM) Allen Thomas seems to think it has a lot to do with it, i read an article from last week where they said he is on a weight program to bring him down to a better weight. Down 15 lbs since the start of the season That is basically why I asked the question. I was trying to put together if the two things were connected.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 19, 2014 -> 12:44 AM) Melo, because it means keep Taj/Mirotic and I think Melo/Taj/Mirotic > Love/Dunleavy Also, it's worth remembering the Bulls slaughtered the Heat in 2011 in Game 1....lets see the Pacers do it again...hopefully. Good call. We could be talking about a Boozer, #1 pick(s), Mirotic type package to get love

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 18, 2014 -> 09:24 PM) Surgery is rare for this problem. It is commonly treated with rest and othotics. It is a very tricky problem with a man his size. The posterior tib is connected to the navicular bone. This bone is important because it is the keystone bone for the medial arch. The poterior tib helps to hold upthe arch. Sowhen he puts his foot down and the arch lowers the tendonopathy will hurt. So eachtime he steps the tendon will hurt. For treatment it is rest to decrease the inflammation then orthtics to support the arch to decreasethestresson thetendon. The only surgery they could do is a tarsal tunnel release. Just like carpal tunnel in the wrist tendons around the ankle can swell and cause compression. So they cut through the retinaculum on the inside of theankle to relieve this pressure. I've seen it in runners but it's fairly rare. Out of curiosity, how much does losing weight alleviate a problem like this?

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ May 18, 2014 -> 07:50 PM) Don't see Pacers repeating this performance after this one. Can't expect them to allow Miami to shoot 50% and win. Heat has been here many times, they will pull it out. If I were in Vegas, I would see what the odds of Miami winning the next four games is, and bet on it.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 18, 2014 -> 04:37 PM) Unfortunate Danish got hit around but hopefully this teaches him he isn't invincible and needs to work on things to succeed He is A ball. I doubt he is going around thinking he is going to glide by with no work.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 18, 2014 -> 05:48 PM) Nothing is fishy about anything. OMG CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE HAWKS. Ruled goal on the ice. Refs huddle to review, as they can (and do frequently, not only goals, but penalties too), and should, determine the contact with Quick was there. No goal. LOL at "they can't see it clearly enough." In live speed, I thought it would be disallowed because I saw the Toews contact with Quick, it was pretty obvious. Back ref can easily see that with a better perspective, as the lead is looking for the puck. The review was to see if it went in on the first shot, making the interference irrelevant, but that wasn't the case. No goal stands. There's no way in f*** that goal should count, it didn't, and everyone's b****ing. They got together to discuss and made the right call, which is what you want. Give it a rest already. What's absolutely hilarious is if the exact same thing happened on Crawford, everyone would be going crazy. No one here would be saying "well it was a goal on the ice initially, so it's totally cool that it stands." It'd be "WHAT THE f*** HE KNOCKED INTO CRAWFORD'S HEAD HOW THE f*** CAN THAT COUNT" The problem is that is some NBA style officiating. They blew the initial call, so they did something they aren't allowed to do to balance it out. It is like in the NBA when they don't call the foul on a player going to the basket, but then when the offensive player knocks the ball out of bounds, they just let the offensive team keep the ball to balance it out.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 18, 2014 -> 12:45 PM) Star player to the Bulls rumor, you know what that means? Not gonna happen. While I am in Dreamland... Melo or Love, if you had your choice... Go.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 18, 2014 -> 03:30 PM) There was no "pre planned" DL trip. The Sox had no handle on the injury at all. Now Jose needs an MRI. In Rock's world I'm sure they planned the MRI as well, like 2 weeks ago. It's ludicrous. If the assumption is that the team is as stupid as you think they are, you should find another team to root for, and you should quit harassing people who are trying to give the rest of us some insight into what is going on behind the scenes.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 18, 2014 -> 12:30 AM) I was at the game. In fact, I think I got in a few frames on TV (I sat in the second row out in RF). Before the game, I was able to get a ball from Scott Caroll during BP, which was pretty cool. Anyway, I knew Noesi was in trouble after he gave up a hit to Altuve on the first pitch. When Noesi doesn't have much of anything, he's absolutely awful. Thankfully, he started mixing in some off-speed stuff to keep the Astros in check for the next 5 innings. You could tell when Cooper went out to talk to him that he was talking mechanics. He kept making the same hand motion, starting high and going low. I am guessing he was giving him the "throw downhill" speech, and might have been tipping again.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 18, 2014 -> 04:32 AM) This is exactly what you don't want to have happen... "Jose (Fernandez) did not have a preexisting condition. While pitching during the recent Dodgers game in Miami he was struck by a ball on his rear thigh. This prompted a completely unanticipated change in delivery which neither the staff nor his coaches could discern. After the game we spoke as we always do. Jose was concerned about his arm. Despite many exchanges on the subject in the days that followed he felt that with the Marlins regaining first place in the division he could not let his team down. "Apparently the injury was worse than he believed. In San Diego in the third ending he suffered a traumatic event, tossed a couple of more innings and the rest is history. A pitch speed analysis was published reflecting a decrease in speed in the last few games. The analysis did not take into account that by design after a victory in Atlanta, facing Atlanta five days later warranted nearly forty off speed pitches. A similar pattern followed in the early innings of the next game. Thus the reduction in average speed but not due to injury. http://msn.foxsports.com/florida/story/rep...y-injury-051614 You know there is a difference between a twisted ankle and an elbow ligament, right? Guys play on twisted ankles all of the time. Basketball, football, soccer, etc, players go out and play very regularly, if they are low ankle sprains. There is no season ending surgery involved here.

We are talking about twisted ankle, right? You can't do Tommy John on it?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 17, 2014 -> 05:46 PM) Dunn get the glove down. Hou 6-3 That was bizarre. Downs threw the ball into the ground, but it never bounced.

WGN now has a Sox commercial starting Abreu.
