QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 5, 2012 -> 06:20 PM) There's probably a 90% chance I'm staying in the same hotel as the white sox tonight. Start knocking on doors.

lol @ uribe in part 1 page 8.

When I read that I didn't think greg was implying the mods chose that nickname, just that they changed it for him.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 5, 2012 -> 02:09 PM) I think he has moved from Chicago to Texas, and is going to one of the games this weekend. That part was clear.

What do you guys think of the spurs? I haven't seen them play yet this year.

Ozzie only cares about himself, and I don't care about him.

I could see voting for ozzie at the moment. But as time goes by that will fade away. He will attract all kinds of attention in Miami. Glad he is gone.

Grab some bench rios. Is this a sign of things to come?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 01:45 PM) I'm optimistic that we'll have a better record against the Central than in recent years. I think our rotation is the 2nd best in the division. I think the sox rotation is the best in the division but their offense makes them a likely second place team. Still I am hopeful that I am wrong about the offense.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 31, 2012 -> 09:26 PM) Doesn't have to happen always for it to be scary. You are right about that. I just don't even know if it happens more often than it does not.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 31, 2012 -> 10:44 AM) Probably even more so, because you've now completely messed around with people's makeup. Joba Chamberlain says hi, for example. I'm still not convinced. So does C. J. Wilson.

I'd like to see konerko as MVP. Put him in the hall.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 30, 2012 -> 09:47 PM) This was not what I'm "Predicting", it's what I'm "Wishing will happen" in this thread. 175 innings and no injuries would be great! I want that kid to be healthy, I'm just terrified. He threw 71 innings last year. 71. A short season of barely 150 innings would be double what he threw last year, and the Verducci effect rule is "dont' add more than 30". For a guy whose mechanics were questioned before the draft, and whose stuff reminds me of Liriano so much it's scary...eek. Does that rule even apply to people going from reliever to starter?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 11:18 PM) Cowley is a bad journalist. Without question. But is he entertaining? I'd say no. His motives are too transparent in my opinion. I would actually say that Maronotti (spelling?) was less transparent and more entertaining.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 10:38 PM) Dear Sun-Times, please get a server that's remotely in the same ballpark as the Tribune in terms of speed. In China, it takes 10X longer to get a Sun Times article to come up in the browser, and usually it has that "stretched print" effect when you click to go down further to continue reading an article. In people's republic of China, article reads you.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 02:35 AM) http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=jp-p...ui_crash_032612 Great but sad story about Bush, albeit VERY long, by Jeff Passan. Thank you for posting this.

Exactly 90.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 11:25 PM) Yeah we were all super excited about Dustin Hermanson too I think. Ya but he wasn't the closer out of the gate. Shingo fell hard.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 07:06 PM) A very soft .283, Juan Pierre-ish, with the exception of that monster homer and I think he had another extra-base hit in one of the games I was listening to recently... Any time Dunn sinks in the .220's, I start to worry about his confidence, but at least his K's are way too down and he has the added momentum of the 4 HR's and the fact that he's done MUCH better against lefties, comparatively, to 2011. Of course, the bar there was set extremely low for him to jump over. Jump? All he has to do is roll. All of his other numbers look good and he isn't an average guy. So why worry?

QUOTE (Dizzy Sox @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 08:05 PM) The first 'Fire Robin' thread appears before April 23, this despite the fact that the Sox start out of the gate pretty well. You already won that one. Unless you mean a serious thread (if there is such a thing).

De aza has an ops of exactly .820 in over 400 ab. Edited for additional boldness

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 12:41 PM) So does this line him up to make his annual 4/20 start (do we even play on 4/20 this year?)? EDIT: Yes, we play on 4/20! But a no on danks. 4th starter, whoever that is.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 12:40 PM) Ah was it? No truth to it? No one really knows if that was true or not.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 20, 2012 -> 01:38 PM) The Tigers were stupid to even think about it. Inge should be playing 3B with either Fielder or Cabrera DHing. Their DH is Andy Dirks anyways, so it's not like they're missing out on anything. If they got anything out of it, it's that Cabrera finally lost some weight... They will be missing out on a lot in 2013 and 2014, so I don't think they will be giving up yet even considering this injury. Well, maybe for the year.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 17, 2012 -> 04:47 PM) Harsh. But I'm sticking with liar. I should have said I was only speaking from what you had posted.
