QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 19, 2011 -> 01:29 PM) We're in trouble if it's on him. Bogans has quietly put together a pretty solid last couple of months.

Egads man, keep up!

I'll be sure to type really big for their special thread

CJ Watson could definitely help them.

Asik was until he got busted in the mouth.

So how long has it been since people updated their profiles? I just realized that I had Brandon Allen as my favorite minor leaguer.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 19, 2011 -> 01:14 PM) Then that's going to be a problem. He needs to be out there to stretch the floor. Miami is too good defensively. It's on Rose, Bogans, and Deng to hit from the outside right now.

Yes it does

I said it before this series even started, Korver should not be on the floor during this series. He is a terrible match up when it comes to defending Wade or LeBron.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ May 19, 2011 -> 11:13 AM) We'd be selling low on Beckham right now but I'm pretty close to losing faith in him ever doing anything significant under Walker. Personally I think the only thing we need to do now is DFA Pierre, Pena, and replace their roles with Humber and Dayan once we go away from a 6 man rotation. Doing that would make us so significantly better it's silly obvious. You don't trade a talent like Gordo right now. He is waaaaaaaaay too young for that. These are the type of guys a general manager like KW should be looking for, not giving up on.

Very good observation.

The Sox game was better than the Bulls for sure.

Really, he was that good.

Peavy was pretty awesome last night

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 19, 2011 -> 09:35 AM) We are almost through May, and Adam Dunn has 4 homers. For all of that [correct] talk about him being the most consistent player in baseball over the last 8-10 years, it looks like we'll be the lucky recipients of the season that breaks that trend. I don't see him hitting 40 this year anymore. That's just our luck, it seems. I haven't seen him take an Adam Dunn type swing since the first week of teh season.

QUOTE (ntorvik @ May 19, 2011 -> 09:10 AM) Can Peavy keep this up? It sure looks like it, so far. He looks comfortable up there and like he has himself under control, which is a nice change from recent memory. I'm not 100% that he can be the ace of this staff like he should/could be, but who knows, he might just surprise me. I don't know if I missed your posts before, but welcome to Soxtalk

Not because of Jake Peavy's awesomeness?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 19, 2011 -> 09:03 AM) Never even heard of the place. I was just going to say that.

Looks like someone has a hangover...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 19, 2011 -> 08:51 AM) I feel good about the Bulls today. They really could not have played any worse and were tied with 4 minutes left to play. This, however, is why you have to build a lead on the Heat and have to avoid close games... they have two elite closers. I'm not worried at all. It was a bad game, nothing more. The worst part was all of the standing around on offense and waiting for Rose to do something. When Rose doesn't have his shot, or the lane, that team has to move the ball to create.

Interesting that comes out at the same time that Kenny's other comments. I'm sure that means someone in the OF is in danger of losing their job.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 19, 2011 -> 08:43 AM) So basically...everyone's holding them and gambling on Congress's competence. With the fact that a number of prominent officials have come out and said that defaulting will be no big deal, and the fact that Limbaugh started arguing this week that defaulting will actually improve the U.S.'s credit rating, that just reinforces my thinking that mid-June might be a good dumping point. Worst case scenario...I take the money out and pay a lower tax rate on it now than I would have if I cashed them in 2-3 years from now once I find a better job. The downside risk is pretty low there. If you are really scared, sell. If you are right, there isn't going to be a higher point in price than now. (that might change by a point or two based on market conditions, but the general idea is the same). The prices now are historically ridiculous anyway.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 19, 2011 -> 08:38 AM) Pitch F/X has JFP's fastball topping out at 93.7 last night, with the range being 91-93 (check both the 2 seamer and the 4 seamer in that data). Like I said, if he has that kind of pitch speed, he will be fine. He just can't top out at 90 and sit 87-88 because then there is no difference between that and his off-speed stuff.

Just to downtown. Then the Cub fans switch to the Red line to Wrigley.
