QUOTE (forrestg @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 01:07 PM) I wish they coud get some of our draftees signed so they can start their assent to the show. It is literally two to three days after the draft for 49 of our 50 picks. The teams most of these guys will be playing on don't even start playing for another week and a half. It is still reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaalllllllllly early.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 01:06 PM) I just think when you anoint yourself THE KING, when you make a deal with ESPN to announce you "Decision" in free agency (while other players like Kevin Durant just f***ing sign), when you make yourself out to be all that and a bag of potato chips... it's on your ass to WIN games. Dallas won last night. LeBron did not do what was needed to win. He's still got 2 games left, but LeBron makes it about LeBron. mmmm potato chips.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 01:06 PM) The 4-11 would average out to 16-29 over the same 45 games. I'd have to bet they're closer to the middle, if they're a healthy team...but below that if they continue losing key guys. Well duh, of course you are going to pick average versus the two extremes and be right more often than not. Thanks Mr Obvious.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 12:59 PM) Actually it's really, really easy. Especially when quoting multiple posters. Just click "quote" button for each post as you read them and scroll down. Then click "reply" at the bottom. No joke. It is literally one click.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 12:54 PM) A team is never actually as good as they look when they're playing their best. Conversely, they're never actually as bad as they look when they're playing their worst (remember that for right now). The key is which team they are closer to. I'd bet more on the 4-11 versus the 30-15.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 10:45 AM) Yeah, you're right. Maybe it's just our collective desire to have 2006 Jim Thome back? Eh, could very well be wishful thinking. I guess we will find out soon enough.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 12:52 PM) If it was an eharmony dating profile they might not have expected it to get out onto the Youtubes. (Although this is not proof that it isn't fake of course). WTH would you not erase it, and then on top of that, actually send that to another living person, let alone a whole website? Fake.Fake.Fake.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 12:34 PM) Drunk, I dont care what Miami did. I just dont understand why people on this board, act like Miami is unbeatable. Posters have ONE POSTER said that Miami will win the next 5 championships. And so when Miami starts to lose, they dont want to admit that Miami maybe isnt the best team, they instead want to blame Lebron. I just have been one of the few all season who has consistently stated that I did not think Miami was as good as most in this thred. To be accurate.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 12:21 PM) This sentence drives me crazy because this is precisely what you're doing. Great, he's played really well for 3 quarters, but when it comes time to be a superstar, to be a hall of famer, an all time great, he fades away. That's proven by the stats you continue to ignore. Not to mention, statistics only tell part of the story in a team game. Passing when you should be taking over the game may make your assist total look great, but it doesn't help your team win.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 10:47 AM) His mocking is even funnier when you considering this http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/mia...tory?id=6563197 Both of those guys have drank way too much of their own cool-aid. They don't even realize there is a world besides themselves.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 10:34 AM) I said almost exactly that to my friend. I just mentioned that everything seemed to be going our way. And yes, I felt like that might be the game to turn Dunn's season around. I know its weird, but I wouldn't have felt the same if he had hit the exact same homer to RF.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 10:28 AM) And if his whole team was on drugs again, no one would notice. To be fair, this is the NBA we are talking about...

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 10:23 AM) Except they aren't filling the stadium this year like in previous years. Their attendance is trending down, and will continue to do so. I honestly think we may see here an opening, for the Sox to pull a lot closer to being as relevant to Chicago baseball fans as the Cubs are (though they won't be able to have the same national following, probably). But to do that, the Sox need to be competitive and reach the post-season semi-regularly over the next few years, and re-development around the park needs to continue. And the Cubs need to continue to be bad on the field, and have their stadium continue to crumble. This is a long process of course, because the die-hard fans don't change allegiances. What you are targeting are the casual fans, non-team-specific fans, and most importantly, the kids who haven't chosen a team yet. People who dismiss this possibility have short memories. Over the 110 years of Cubs and Sox baseball, the Sox have had long periods of being the dominant team. They outdrew the cubs as recently as 18 years ago, and were close to them a couple years between. Cubs dominating the Sox in Chicago is not a permanent state, and its not something that's always been true. They really look to be coming into a world of hurt if their minor league system doesn't produce and produce in a big way, very quickly.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 10:25 AM) Pistons trying to interview perhaps the one man as a head coaching candidate who would make me hate that team even more. **** him. Well at least then he would be paying players legally...

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 10:07 AM) We're still not even .500. I was thinking the same thing... Then again with the Indians in a death spiral, it won't take much more than .500 to do this.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 05:52 AM) My cat's breath smells like cat food. Which is to say, it smells terrible. Most dogs don't eat their own s***, it's a nutritional problem generally if they do. Cats can take care of their own bathroom needs, dogs can't. end of story.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:59 AM) If Juan Pierre is the scapegoat that means everyone else is hitting where they should be, and this team will be battering people. No doubt. That means Rios and Dunn are hitting again, which is way more important than Pierre.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 04:50 PM) Carter's back! Re-signed as free agent. No surprise. his best years were here.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 11:07 PM) Just wanted to make sure it was all consolidated into one thread. If you find any out, listing them here would be awesome, just for that reason.
