He's totally there scouting Michael Bourn.

Magic only down 1 at the half. They played a great 2nd quarter.

He should just take the money he'd use to buy the Coyotes and invest it in Jake Peavy and Chris Bosh.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 28, 2009 -> 08:02 PM) The Cavs can't shoot 80% for the whole game can they? I was thinking the same thing. Down to a measly 67% now.

1.) Whats with The Godfather music when Mo Williams makes a shot? That's horrible. 2.) The officiating is already doing work.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 27, 2009 -> 07:15 AM) What is really weird is how you defend Josh Fields every chance you get but rip this guy. They have basically been the same offensive player in the major leagues except Young runs better and plays better defense and is younger. They both suck, but why would Young's stats at this point be tell-tale, at least so important you have to make a thread about it, and Fields' stats mean very little? Again, Young is a younger player. Well, I bring this up mainly because of the whole Javier Vazquez thing, which I thought would be pretty clear. I don't see what Josh Fields has to do with this at all actually. And if you're going to harp on it in every single freaking thread, I'm just not going to discuss it anymore than it needs to be. Stop picking stupid fights.

I'm a graphic designer.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ May 28, 2009 -> 04:36 PM) Either him or Brandon Allen. Allen is athletic enough to stick around at 1B, IMO. At the least, he could be a corner outfielder.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 28, 2009 -> 02:53 AM) f*** me! I hate when I do that. Well he has 3 more errors than home runs in his very brief minor league career. That's a start. He's now in the beginning stages of learning a new position (and at least judging by the error count, he wasn't fielding his natural position all that well). That's something that I would imagine could take a little time. And recent history says he's not ready. I agree with you on the defensive perspective, however, Birmingham is known to be a notoriously hard park to hit HR in, ask Viciedo and Brandon Allen. The fact that about half of his base hits were for extra bases is phenomenal.

QUOTE (danman31 @ May 27, 2009 -> 11:27 PM) I don't know how you say no question. You are talking about the first team to win the treble in Spain. To say Man U is much more complete is a gross exaggeration of the difference between the teams. That's just my opinion. Are you denying that Barcelona hasn't had a lot of issues and questions defensively over the years? I understand what Barca has accomplished, but no one on ManU played well. Rooney was almost invisible for about 85 minutes. Ronaldo had some chances early but didn't capitalize. Park, Tevez, Giggs...they did nothing. The Eto'o seemed to completely stun them and they never recovered.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 28, 2009 -> 01:54 AM) Accept he's not ready. That's pretty much the point. And I'm not overreacting to anything. Have you not been keeping up? http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...,0,554515.story And just coincidentally he gets promoted to play, um, 3rd base? It's quite obvious what's going on here. 1, except not accept. 2, how do you know he's not ready?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2009 -> 11:17 PM) It's not like it was 2 ft off the plate. Fuentes gets a lot of hitters to chase his bad pitches due to his funky arm angle. I'm more pissed that Anderson went after such a bad pitch on the 0-0. He seems to be struggling in important situations (and he always has). It was neck-high. Just a horrible pitch to swing at. It's 3-1, you HAVE to know not to swing since he was 3-1 unless it's right down the pipe.

Unbelievable.

Way to swing at ball 4 you dips***.

We're going to win off Fuentes.

Still a long way to go. 3-1 isn't bad.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 27, 2009 -> 10:22 PM) ballgame Please. If we keep it close, Fuentes is as hittable as they come.

Come on Gavin, pitch over this.

QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ May 27, 2009 -> 10:17 PM) Because of risk of injury to the pitcher from stepping on the bag awkwardly or collision and because of the possibility of a bobbled exchange costing an out. If all he has to do is hustle over to first, then I would want him to do what he did tonight and just get over a step on it. That play has it's role, but it drives me nuts to see Paul get a ground ball and hold it and pet it and wait for the pitcher to bust it over and pet it again and then underhand lob it 10 feet. Pitchers do that drill (covering 1st on a grounder) thousands of times in ST and throughout the season.

We get more line drive double plays than any other team.

I miss the awesome CQ.

Just give him the f***ing Gold Glove now.

Damnit, I thought that was gone off the bat.

On a scale of 1-100 for acceleration, JD is -4.

Well look at this...
