NO WAY!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 13, 2011 -> 01:57 PM) Um, this is legal? Certainly explains a lot of the returned velocity..... It sure would. But of course baseball doesn't have a test for that...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2011 -> 09:47 PM) Yeah, no chance I'm actually interested in how it goes. Nope, gloating. I want to cuss you out for this one. Its legitimately angering me a lot. I'm not allowed to take an interest in the process. I'm a democrat so nothing I post can possibly be ingood faith, my motives always are evil and deserve to be questioned. Oh please. You are a partisan posting machine. We all know better.

Losers kick it new school

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 13, 2011 -> 03:52 PM) The Bulls are going to absolutely destroy the Heat. This series won't be close. Not a chance. The three games they played this year were decided by a total of 8 points, and Miami wasn't playing nearly as good as they are now. This has all the hallmarks of a 7 game series.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 14, 2011 -> 08:33 AM) Does that mean we have to get rid of CarGo too while he's under an 800 OPS? Seriously. Give me a real nickname over than damned Arod style of nicknaming.

I believe 100% that Cleveland will not win the division. I also don't believe that April into the beginning of May is the "norm" for this team. Do we have a chance? Yes we do. We have more talent than any team in this division. Did we dig too deep of a hole? Well, that is the $126 million question. First things first they cannot slump into the end of this month, or they won't get the chance to prove whether they can win or not.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 14, 2011 -> 05:02 AM) As of this moment, you don't trade him for a goddamn thing. Oh, and not wanting to count on Peavy? How about not wanting to count on Phil Humber...you know, the dude who is 28 and has never had any sort of sustained success at the major league level? He's proven he can be adequate, but you are talking about replacing a guy who is almost an ace with a guy who is probably a 4.50 ERA type guy at his best. That is absolutely absurd. As of right now, the Sox have, optimistically, anywhere from a 25-50% chance of winning the division. If they trade Danks, that drops to 5-10%. Great post. I'll never understand why people buy so much into the minutia of major league baseball, when it is such a long season.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 14, 2011 -> 06:39 AM) People are upset about losing Jeff Gray? Jeff Gray? Really? People, he did fine, but it was 13 innings in garbage time. If he was as valuable as you think, the White Sox wouldn't have had to place him on waivers, they could have traded him for something, anything, but apparently no team was willing to give KW anything. All though I am shocked he got claimed so quickly.

Jackass

Hey I can't help it if you are English grammar challenged.

Man Gray went from being an afterthought when he got called up, to a major leaguer. No one expected him to do anything but be awful when he was here, and he goes out and is really effective. Crazy.

BIG pop up thunderstorms again happening as we speak. Tornado warnings in a couple of counties south of Chicago.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ May 13, 2011 -> 12:49 PM) I keep thinking about Roger Clemens in 2005. He got an average of 3.43 runs in run support/game that year yet finished with an ERA of 1.87 and only had a 13-8 record. Dank so far as gotten an average of 2.59 runs of support/game. I was thinking more of the year that Nolan Ryan led the NL in ERA yet finished 8-16.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 13, 2011 -> 01:58 AM) Yeah that was ridiculous. They beat Detroit in the WC Semi's last year, and in only 5 games to boot. I thought Detroit had a very good shot at beating Vancouver had they pulled this off tonight (and not had more injuries like they did), but I don't see how San Jose beats Vancouver. San Jose is built a lot like Vancouver is, only with inferior players. Canucks in 5, maybe 6. I really dislike both teams quite a bit, but obviously moreso Vancouver. Whoever wins this series, I know I'll be rooting for the east winner in the Final. San Jose got whipped pretty good by Vancouver during the regular season.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 13, 2011 -> 12:35 PM) I like the NFL method of picking a local channel to broadcast cable channel games. No doubt. I could use me some Neil and Stacey right about now.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 13, 2011 -> 12:18 PM) I wouldn't last a day. Even if it were a good game for the Sox, I'd drop about 15 F-bombs just out of habit. In all honesty, I think Hawk actually died or retired years ago. They just have a technician in the booth working a soundboard with Stone. It has a bunch of pre-recorded rants and uninteresting stories and all of his standard sayings.

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ May 13, 2011 -> 12:01 PM) So I guess Cowherd announced before his break that Hendry has been fired, then after the break came back and said he was sorry for speaking on speculation and not facts. More where that came from? Big names on Twitter saying that it is NOT true.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 13, 2011 -> 11:12 AM) 28th instead of 30th! "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"

3 games in 8 days? Wow.
