Konerko K's, way out in front of a looping curveball. Dye flies out to center. AJ singles to center.

QUOTE (WillieHarris2 @ May 7, 2008 -> 09:07 PM) this outfield is awful defensively I disagree with that completely. Swisher is definitely above average defensively, and pitcher know he is going to bust his ass to get to ever ball. Dye, while he may not be very fast at all, still has a very good arm and makes some clutch catches. Quentin has one of the best arms in the league from what I've seen. To say that they are "awful" is a bit ridiculous.

Buehrle pitches over the lead-off double by Cuddyer. Bottom 2, 1-0 Twins.

Juan showing his "speed" catching that looper in the infield.

Where the f*** was Dye?

Livan, looking as care free as ever out on the mound, gets em 1-2-3. Thome just missed an opposite field HR.

I kinda like that CSN added OBP to their stat line when showing player graphics.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ May 7, 2008 -> 08:55 PM) Total agreement. I love that stuff. Especially those "Top 50" things Best Damn plays. Andy Griffith blows all that away.

Not quite the start I wanted. Gomez runs faster jogging on a home run than most of our guys look sprinting. Somehow MB comes back and strikes out the next 2. Gomez got down to get that one, gotta give him credit.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ May 7, 2008 -> 07:01 PM) Who likes my Sig, I just made it Very nice. Is that a stock background? It looks familiar.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 7, 2008 -> 08:32 AM) So for those with GTA IV, what are you supposed to spend money on? I'm about 40% through the game and have over 400K. Seems to me it's sort of worthless to have so much money with nothing to spend it on. Also, do you ever get to invite anyone to your crib? I've got a sweet penthouse on the northside of the middle island (Algonquin maybe?) but it too feels useless without the ability to get people to come over, especially with the hot tub outside. Buy a s*** ton of guns and ammo. Thats mainly what its for IMO. You can buy clothes and food as well.

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 7, 2008 -> 05:06 AM) yeah, maybe on fastballs. But he was waiting for the change or curve. Just because you stay back doesn't mean you have to go oppo. You're not supposed to pull the ball on an off-speed pitch anyway. He says he was waiting for an off-speed pitch and stayed back to pull it. It doesn't make sense.

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ May 5, 2008 -> 02:57 PM) Also: Team SoxTalk (Kap, Southsider, Tito, Pratt, Northside) Team SoxTalk and Team WSI Let's get something done! The team pictures don't even begin to tell the story how much fun last year's game was. Nice long sleeve purple shirt you got there Pratt.

QUOTE (scenario @ May 4, 2008 -> 04:20 PM) Two more hits today (Sunday). That makes him 6 for 13 in 3 games since returning from the DL. Had a nice article about him on milb.com today too. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/news/ar...b&fext=.jsp Stay back and pull the ball? That doesn't make much sense at all. When you stay back, it's because you're letting the ball get deep and hitting it opposite field.

A note on Lucy's injury...he's f***ed. But then again, there are team doctors and this is modern medicine. But, with this injury, if it happens once, the likelihood of it happening again increases every time. I would know, it's happened to me 6 times since 2005. If it was a serious dislocation, as it seems to be with him being carted off, he'll be out for a month minimum (meaning he'll have trouble walking), and wont be back to 100% for quite a while. A dislocation of the kneecap will provide no damage to major ligaments, but with each time, it creates tons and tons of micro-tears on the patella ligament connecting it to the thigh and shin as well as some cartilage/meniscus damage, and with that, I find it hard to believe he'll be catching much more. It's a pretty gruesome injury from the outside, but underneath the kneecap sitting on the side of your leg, it isn't too terrible. It's a dull pain when it pops out, but when it snaps back in, often times when the leg is straightened, it is painful as s***. It's nothing compared to Livingston's injury. He literally BROKE his knee. All ligaments torn and kneecap dislocated. I don't recall if there was bones involved though. Lucy's injury is nothing like Livingston's. This is the same as what happened to Jason Campbell of the Redskins. If Lucy does play again, it'll be difficult for him to be a catcher, and he'll definitely need to wear a brace all the time to keep the patella in line as much as possible. Also BearSox, if it did pop back in right away (which I doubt since he got carted off), it could reduce the time to about 2-3 weeks. This is what happened to me the last time I dislocated it. I was playing basketball, got a rebound, then landed on my teammates foot and twisted awkwardly. Luckily, with my step, it popped back in, thus only making me "immobile" for about a week and a half to 2 weeks. This happened nearly a month ago, and I'm ok for physical activity now but I'm still not 100%.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 6, 2008 -> 05:58 PM) worthless. But I still dont think Steltz will start Brandon McGowan did a damn good job in there last year. I would assume he and Mike Brown are the starters at the moment with Craig Steltz, Danieal Manning, and Kevin Payne as back-ups.

Wow, Blackhawks games are going to have to enter back into my daily schedule.

Garmin's offer the Serbian language. 'Nuff said.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ May 6, 2008 -> 04:06 PM) Unreal pic of Two-Face. I won't post it, I don't want to spoil it for some. If you any interest in Dark Knight, check out this pic. http://www.comicbookmovie.com/news/articles/4489.asp Holy hell. If thats what he really looks like in the movie, then...holy hell!

SoxAce and I offer ST all the street cred it needs. He's not around to elaborate, but I'd prefer not to say much right now.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 6, 2008 -> 09:44 PM) Quentin went to Stanford, yeah I'm gonna start labeling him an intellectual idiot if he slumps. Logical. Hakeem Olajuwon went to college at U of Houston. He's not Nigerian?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2008 -> 09:40 PM) Is that sarcasm? I just can't believe some of the stuff I'm reading on here. No, I really mean that. You're usually one of the boo-birds even in a victory.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 6, 2008 -> 09:37 PM) Quentin is an american born citizen, who attended american schools. I was obviously referring to players FROM latin countries. Cabrera, I excluded him from another post, although I haven't seen enough of him to make that decision. My main beef is with Uribe, Ozzie and Pablo, none of which are naturally from the US. Stop turning this s*** into a racist comment, those 3 people are idiots when it comes to baseball. Some could argue for Ozzie, but I sure wouldn't, and from a LOT of people's posts I've seen around here, a lot of people think Ozzie is a moron. No one is turning it into a racist comment. It was just a terribly moronic, ignorant, and idiotic comment.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2008 -> 09:35 PM) Relax and enjoy a win...it's been almost 10 days. This means so much more coming from you fathom.

Someone pause their Tivo/DVR and make me an avatar of Shaving-Cream-Face Floyd.
