Papelbon about to give the game to the Tigers. The parity in the american league is amazing

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 19, 2011 -> 12:12 PM) Link Why will he hit better here? That makes no sense to me at all actually that sounds assinine.

Couple of things. That was my 5th game of the year and the only tiime the game time temperature was over 44 degrees. Not a fan of Humber being bumped but I understand. The six man rotation helped Danks get into the 7th and Peavy looked really good obviously. This could be interesting. the f***ign stealing is going to kill me. Lillibridge is going to have a real nice career as a utility player. Beckham and Quentin looked absolutly lost.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 18, 2011 -> 03:20 PM) The crowd will be terrible with the Bulls playing and the weather. I'll be there pissing and moaning the whole time. In Club Level so I can watch the Sox bat and the Bulls in nice weather.

The opponenets are not the issue here. Everyone has to agree that losing 3 of 4 which would be the case is not acceptable for this team. This team has put themselves in a position where every game matters. If the goal is to get ot .500 losing the next two do not help you to do this. Winning series is fine but they need win essentially all of them the rest of the year to get to 95 wins. Another way to look at it is for them to beat the crap out of their division and play .500 ball the rest of hte way. The East and West are better than the Central so whip the s*** out of the Central and the pathetic NL schdule and go from there. Every game counts and any loss puts you on the ledge the next night. A loss last night was losing 3 of 4.

oddly McPherson won the game. Maybe he is the LH bat off the bench that they need

Maybe the time off is what he needed to clear his head a little. Kudos to Ozzeroo...........maybe

Santos makes me all warm inside. oh but this team still sucks

Nice job going with McPherson and Crain for 1 plus innings. Good win to but it really should be easier.

Danks go through 6 which is nice. No score a run and get him a W.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 17, 2011 -> 08:40 PM) Morel is so getting benched for that. sadly I was just thinking Beckham should be sent down but Morel is playing worse.......now maybe Lilli plays second and Beckham becomes the utility guy and it wakes him up

disco

The middle of the Rangers bullpen sucks yet these buffoons are letting harrison off the hook This organization has 0 baseball IQ suddenly

The intentional walk worked but it was a bad decision with a pitcher that has nothing on the mound

QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2011 -> 08:20 PM) Dunn chases ball 4, that's after Alexei swung at a face high pitch. I hope we get shut out if it means Walker's one step closer to being canned. He is not going anywhere. Nothing has happened yet. This season is basically over as they are way too inconsistent and the Tigers are looking strong. We can pretend that the talent will come around but it just is not there. Rios, Quentin, Beckham, etc The talent is thought to be there but I gotta admit it really is not.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 17, 2011 -> 08:16 PM) Why does this board overrate Danks so much? I just don't see it. Is it because he's a lefty? He is a solid pitcher that has never gotten any better they being solid. As he has gained experience he has not progressed. jezzuz this team sucks

hopefully 5 inning danks can get through 5 innings tonight

QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2011 -> 08:08 PM) Beckham has struck out in 12 of his last 25 at bats. Greg Walker is just killing these guys right now. Why are White Sox left handed hitters terrible against left handed pitching to a point where their average is under.100 Thome was unable to do it now Dunn The 0 wins is not getting to Danks the fact he has never had good control finally is.

Going to be chilly out there Harrison should have no problem going 7 and allowing a base runner or two. I would love to see the White Sox batting average in the first inning.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 17, 2011 -> 12:03 PM) Trading Noah and Taj for Howard isn't dismantling the team. The Bulls still would have Boozer and Asik down low and Howard can play a ton of minutes and is on a whole nother level. Plus his style of play would fit in perfectly with Thibbs and I suspect he would work tremendously with Rose. That type of deal would be a no-brainer for me, imo. I think you try and move one of Noah/Boozer and one of Asik/Taj for a package that can get you Howard. While Thibs system makes Asik and Taj look better then they actaully are, I think it also makes Boozer look worse than he actually is on the defensive side. The Bulls still have no second scoring option and the Heat, Knicks and Nets are all going to push really hard to get better. I only brought this up as this thread is hopping right now and I wanted to point out that Taj and Asik playing well and possibly over their head in this series could do wonders long term for the Bulls. I also think many folks are getting over theis skis on how good the Bulls are right now and schdueling the parade.

I wonder what package the Bulls would have to put together to get Dwight Howard.

there really is no coaching on this team other than cooper. the baseball IQ just keeps dropping in this organization

I really do not understand the rationale for a cap in social security withholding. I also wonder what the contribution amount would be if you did not start withholding until you made $50,000 as compared to the current total.

The thing that made the second Taj dunk so impressive is he is literally standing there and the next second he is throwing it down. The thing that makes the Bulls good was what the TNT guys pointed out. When Korver and Rose went to the pick and roll, it took the three best defensive players out of the defensive set. They are so well coached that even at halftime if your game plan is working you have to change it up. The Bulls defense is also constructed to aid in the iso play. You can beat one guy but the help is always there which allows Deng to play up on LeBron. Bosh could have a great series in this regard but it will not matter. Rose looks healthy as well. The TNT guys are light years better than the ESPN puff machine. Smith, Chuck and Chris all explained why they think the Bulls will win and it happened last night. Was also funny to see the arena being taken down around them.
