QUOTE (docsox24 @ May 16, 2011 -> 12:53 PM) This is #1 for me. I would also add to your list the heavy reliance on veteran players who are past their prime and KW trying to find the fountain of youth with these guys. I hate when he bring back old guys who are no longer productive. Except it means nothing out of context. I'd like to see a list of failed pitching draftees from other teams to compare it to.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 16, 2011 -> 12:51 PM) They do every chance they get. No, not really. I couldn't tell you how many times over the weekend, there were chances for Oakland to run, and they didn't.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 16, 2011 -> 12:37 PM) I'll await your additional evidence/statements from her backing that up, because that's a very vague statement to go off of. If you want it, google it. She has been around here forever.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 16, 2011 -> 12:35 PM) It is an interesting legal challenge, but one that I believe will be resolved in Boeing's favor. In answer to your question, yes, the government should have regulations on where businesses locate. But in this case, the government should allow Boeing to move. That would fall firmly under restricting interstate commerce.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 16, 2011 -> 12:35 PM) But it might well have as much to do with calling our soldiers murderers as that statement. She is ferociously anti-military. It meant exactly what it sounded like.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 16, 2011 -> 12:12 PM) I take it you're not a Christian. "Forgive your enemies" "Thou Shall Not Murder' Christianity has nothing to do with calling our soldiers murders.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 16, 2011 -> 12:00 PM) Which of course, is our standard method of prospect development. 75 at bats or so is all the chance to adapt to the league that you get. ACCOUNTABILITY!!!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 16, 2011 -> 12:05 PM) I am 99.999% sure this was a misstatement, trying to make an analogy. I highly, highly doubt she thinks this is a crime. Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich might though. Having heard her speak in person, and listened to what she said away from the microphone, I have no doubt she said exactly what she meant.

There aren't many words to describe how much I don't like Schakowsky http://blogs.dailyherald.com/node/5675

Morel is already losing the job. It isn't much of a leap to think Omar will take it.

QUOTE (forrestg @ May 16, 2011 -> 10:37 AM) If we did have a person who could play short better than Ramirez (not counting visquel) Alexei can play 3rd as well as anyone . Alexei has played exactly one inning at 3B since coming to Chicago.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ May 16, 2011 -> 09:43 AM) somewhere, obi-wan felt a disturbance in the force after Taj's dunk. Somewhere Blake Griffin gave a slow clap.

I'm curious to get some details about this kid. Is he a true submarine guy, or it is more of a Brad Zeigler type motion?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 16, 2011 -> 08:58 AM) Who gives a s*** about the past? That's for cowards and losers. With the talent and money we spent in the KW era we have undeniably underachieved. Evidently you are a coward and a loser for caring about the past.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 16, 2011 -> 08:56 AM) Taj's grandkids are going to tell their grandkids who are going to tell their grandkids about the last dunk. The dunk on Wade was way better. Going through someone is always more impressive to me.

QUOTE (YASNY @ May 16, 2011 -> 08:52 AM) Carlton won, I believe, 27 games for a horrendous Phillies team. That was just unreal. IIRC, he won something like 40% of his teams games in 1972.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 16, 2011 -> 08:37 AM) 2005 excuses a lot for the "old timers" crowd. For those fans in their 20's, it's more "what have you done for me lately?" and that's not looking so good for KW and Ozzie. Forget what have you done for me lately, its more like what have you done in your last at bat.

QUOTE (YASNY @ May 16, 2011 -> 08:29 AM) I didn't insult anybody. I just stated a fact. Its all about perspective.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 16, 2011 -> 07:50 AM) Lebron and Wade's basketball IQs are really high. But it comes down to what balta just said. If lebron is going to beat the bulls, I want it to be because he got hot shooting contesting jumpers. As long as he's not getting wide open looks, it's not a high pct. shot for him. The bulls played great, but the heat will make some adjustments. The bulls just have to keep their home court. It sure didn't look like it last night. Honestly they pretty much quit when they got down double digits. The Big Two just disappeared, and did nothing to try to take the game over.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 15, 2011 -> 10:46 PM) It's like Rienzo and Petricka right now. That should be their target early in the draft. Starting pitching is always their draft target.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 15, 2011 -> 11:15 PM) With 19 innings pitched this season, Santos has pitched the most innings without giving up an earned run in the entire majors. I figured it was coming yesterday on the last day of the road trip.

We have left the nine minute hold in the 2nd to last ever space shuttle launch.

Which baseball team do you support?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 16, 2011 -> 07:38 AM) I loved it in the press conference where Thibs literally said "we had a good game, we've got some things we need to tighten up". You think if Spoelstra won by 20 he'd be talking about things the heat need to tighten up? He'd be too busy trying to stop LeBron from crying again in the lockerroom.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 16, 2011 -> 12:56 AM) Broadcast on TNT brought something up today that confirmed a thought I had before the game...but in all of the games the Bulls have played against the Heat this year, they made all their runs to either get back into the game or take a lead in the 3rd quarter. Seems like there's a lot of adjustments going on in the Bulls' locker room at half-time while the Heat change nothing. That's where basketball IQs for both the coaches and the players come into play.
