QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 03:07 PM) Congrats to Kyle Davies who just tied his career record for strikeouts. This is probably one of his best games evah. Next week, someone will put a 9 spot up on him. I've never read anything like this before. What a unique post.

Someone tell Alexei's translator that he isn't going to get 1st pitch fastball from anyone in this division.

Damn you Paulie for giving me a scare.

Any normal human gets a 2B out of that hit. Another note, PK is really pulling his head out on his swings.

Outside of Farnsworth, this KC pitching staff has absolutely owned us. They are doing whatever they please to our hitters.

Let's score some runs here fellas.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 11:23 PM) Is it really fair to compare Forte to Jacobs? Jacobs is a first and second down back, and he's off the field come third down. I really think you have to compare Forte and Peterson to Jacobs and Bradshaw (and last year it was Ward). Even if you do, Forte and Jacobs are such different kinds of backs that it makes it near impossible to compare them. I agree, they really aren't comparable at all. Jacobs is a big time bruiser who's goal is to run you over. Forte is an every down back who also excels as a receiver out of the backfield. Either way, Holt would be a huge addition to this team. I'd imagine the offense would look something like this: QB Cutler/Hanie/Basanez RB Forte/Peterson/Wolfe FB McKie LT Pace/Shaffer LG Omiyale/Beekman C Kreutz RG Garza/Buenning RT Williams/Shaffer WR Holt/Bennet WR Hester/Davis TE Olsen/Clark/Davis

He really is great. Love the analysis, and he really brings a lot of experience to the game. Being a broadcast major and getting into a lot of my classes, I'm starting to realize that Hawk is pretty bad sometimes. With that said, it's still early on and it's going to take some time, but I think the two of them together could be the best in the game. I think they compliment each other very well.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 06:31 PM) Currently listening to Chris Rongey on radio and watching Dan Roan on TV..... lock thread if i'm wrong on this, but isnt it true that they're both Cub fans? sure CPS is underfunded on the southside but c'mon ! If all goes well, I could be interning at WGN, so I'll make sure to hault this problem.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 02:54 PM) I get WGN America. Will it be on that? Yes, pre-game show with meathead Dan Roan is on.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 12:28 PM) yea bcuz i need to get one for a gift and i went to a few stores and they only had replicas and if i wanted an authentic one i would have to order it. the guy told me it was taking longer to get them too bcuz its baseball season and a lot of ppl are ordering them. he couldnt guarantee a time. so how much are they at grandstand? i need a black auth. quentin. like 220, 230? MLB.com has them for about $220, yeah. They're really sharp.

Reggie Willits is literally the perfect player to acquire right now. Him, or Ichiro.

Alexei, Fields or AJ. And none of the 3 are really prime 2nd hitter options.

We've moved on to a more sophisticated, discussion-oriented post-game thread.

QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 04:29 PM) What does that mean... really? We could go through the whole list of leadoff men and #2 hitters in MLB... and how many of them are prototypical? The job is relatively simple. Get on base. Be a decent baserunner. Do a good job at those two tasks and nothing else matters... for a #1 or #2. You have to be able to hit behind the baserunner and get guys over, you have to be able to take pitches and work the count, you have to be able to do the hit and run, you have to be able to bunt. There's a lot to hitting 1/2.

Looks like another one of those "We don't win many games if we don't hit a HR" type seasons.

Can we call that a wrap on the Dwyane Wise experiment?

Chris Getz for President.

MLB.tv is up. Let's do this!

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 12:36 PM) why is mlbtv not up yet? That's what I'm wondering too.

QUOTE (Tmar @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 12:29 PM) Actually, if you hover over the logo, it spells it with lowercase letters. Almost everything on that page is in capitals, so they are using it as a style when in fact it is spelled Chipotle. Their Privacy Policy, agrees. PWNED.

So pumped for the game. Skipping Statistics to watch.

QUOTE (Tmar @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 04:55 PM) Sorry to hijack the thread, but I have a few quick questions too. Whatever happened to predictability? The milkman? The paper boy? Evening TV? OMFG winner.

Seriously?

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 03:20 PM) i liked 17... Too many horrible Darin Erstad memories.
