QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 27, 2014 -> 08:54 AM) Congratulations. You have just won the Olympics of lame. What the f*** are you talking about? Yes, at the end of the day, it's about titles. But you know what, can't win the title without getting to the finals. You're implying that 4 straight trips to the finals isn't a remarkable accomplishment because they lost that first year? Only a dumb, homer, try-hard Bulls fans would even suggest that. And who cares what MJ would do with this team? I didn't say a damn thing about MJ vs LeBron or how 4 straight trip to the finals makes him better or the Heat better than the Bulls. God you guys are so scared. Y'all (for your benefit) are the one trying to egg people on saying 4 finals appearances in a row beats MJ. Will Perdue has more Finals appearances in a row than Hakeem Olajawon. So, I guess that really doesn't mean a whole bunch. Especially if you are about titles. MJ 6 LeBron 2 and counting. No MJ fan is nervous LeBron is going to overtake him.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 27, 2014 -> 08:48 AM) It's amazing that people make this kind of argument. He's got an ERA over 4 and doesn't throw any ground balls whatsoever. His K/9, BB/9, and K/BB are nice and indicate that he's gotten a little unlucky, but if you're throwing only 29% ground balls, you're going to give up the long ball especially when you're only topping out at 93. Meanwhile, people have asked Sox management for years to trade for players with Davidson's talent for years, and when he comes out and has a rough first two months, people immediately want him lynched. Hypocrisy, thy name is White Sox fans. The problem is the White Sox have had a long line of players with Davidson's "talents". Weak defensively, with a problem making contact.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 27, 2014 -> 06:35 AM) Fact: The Bulls never went to the finals 4 times in a row Fact: Shaq/Kobe never went to the finals 4 times in a row Soon to be fact: The Heat will have went to the finals 4 times in a row That's all I said. You can throw out as many hypothetical what ifs as you want. Y'all must be scared out of your minds that LeBron might just eclipse MJ. What's with the y'all? Are you in Texas? Don't say you are about titles and then count losing in the Finals as an accomplishment. Didn't the Bills play in 4 Super Bowls in a row? If anyone here pointed out Bulls losses in the Finals as success, you would say how embarrassing that was. And if you don't think a younger than 38 Mike substituded for LeBron doesn't get this current Heat roster to the finals, you're just being a hater.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 26, 2014 -> 07:50 PM) I remember saying .240. That was for your bet. Before that you said .210-.215. Even.240 is below his career numbers. What did you bet anyway?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 26, 2014 -> 09:48 PM) And that's a wrap. Heat about to do something Jordan's Bulls and Shaq/Kobe Lakers never did: 4 straight trips to the finals. I can't believe I fell for the, "well, it's just too damn hard to get to the finals 4 times in a row" bulls***. What is the big deal about going to the finals and losing. i thought you were only about titles? MJ never lost in the finals. And if he didn't "retire", the superfans actually were correct, a minimum 8 peat my friend.

Games are too damn long.

Don't get to ball 3 Downs

QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ May 26, 2014 -> 03:49 PM) It looks like he pulls up lame every time he runs to first hard. Yes . He was extra gimpy this time

Looks like Eaton will stay in the game

Eaton hurt again

Petricka

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 26, 2014 -> 03:21 PM) He's got to have these numbers consistently for at least 250 at-bats before he has much of any value. Unless another team's just completely desperate and overpays. .310/.348/.429 That is his slash line after about 250 plate appearances last year and you didn't think he could hit better than .215 this year.

.178/.270/.290 Carlton Fisk's slash line on May 27th 1983. I think he wound up 2nd or 3rd in MVP voting that year. Those writing off De Aza might wind up surprised.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 26, 2014 -> 02:46 PM) Semien makes a ton of errors. He is playing his way to Charlotte. The problem is who in Charlotte would take his place? Maybe Sanchez but do you realky want him playing part time?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 26, 2014 -> 02:44 PM) Flowers shouldn't be ejected there; the ump definitely missed that one. Bulls*** you can get ejected for just screaming at an ump. I think DeAza complaining shortened the leash of the umpire. He tossed him for throwing the bat.

If Beckham sucks or Beckham is too expensive he will bring back nothing in a trade.

3 unearned runs. Francona must have slept through spring training

Offense sucks. Right Tank?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 26, 2014 -> 02:17 PM) Sox predictably have been horses*** since the Yankee disaster. Offense needs to wake up. It was Rienzo vs. Tanaka yesterday. Only Soxtalk blames that loss on the loss the day before.

There was a group of draft hopefuls working out at my gym this morning. McDermott was there and that dude does not miss in drills with no one on him. The only other guy I recognized was Adrien Payne who looked athletic enough but his shot was off, at least this morning.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ May 24, 2014 -> 07:38 PM) He should try to figure out how to break 90, and then pass the secret on to EJ. According to the gun at the park today he broke 90 a lot.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 24, 2014 -> 02:26 PM) Dan Hayes @DanHayesCSN · 17m Report that Jerry Reinsdorf was part of #WhiteSox contingent to see Aaron Nola is false. Also listed Kenny Williams Jr., scout for diff org. Boy that Keith Law really does have good inside sources. He is a hack.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 24, 2014 -> 05:06 PM) Another edition of the Robin Ventura amateur hour. Too bad he missed his own amateur hour.
