Official 2011 MLB Draft - Day 1
QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 04:17 PM) I would guess much later. I watched the draft last year, but I couldn't think of how long it took for each RD. Well, all I know is that I have a lot of baseball to watch tonight. I'll have the draft and the Sox game on simultaneously.

2011 TV Thread
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 04:09 PM) I found that episode much less annoying. In fact, I thought it was brilliant. However, when your entire story is 13 episodes, you can't really be burning one for absolutely no story development. Some questions were answered about Linden, sure, but I'm just not sure if I cared to learn them. I'm ready to find out if I'm correct in whom I believe the killer to be. Yeah, if definitely added a lot of background on Linden and her son, but why should the audience care to delve in to that situation when the plot of the story is a murder? Now, if they had killed Jack, or let Jack continue to go missing, I would have been ok with it because it would add another storyline that could possibly relate to the murder of Rosie, but since Jack turned up fine in the end, we literally progressed no where from minute 0 to minute 56. Only those last couple minutes pushed the Rosie story along by getting the ATM footage. I think that may be the downside of having a show that goes 1 day at a time. They said it could take 24 hours for the footage to be released, so it took almost an entire day (episode) for it to happen. When I heard that the warrant for the casino might take a week, I cringed at the fact that we may have to wait 7 episodes before they can go back in there. Lol.

2 hours away from draft now? And like 3 1/2 until the Sox pick?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 03:45 PM) That episode was bulls*** and pointless. Not sure if you watch Breaking Bad, but it reminds of the "Fly" episode in S3 where it's just Walt and Jesse in the meth lab for the entire episode trying to kill a fly.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 03:19 PM) On MLB Network, Harold Reynolds just compared Bubba Starling to Griffey and A-Rod. Quite the compliment. Yeah, but what does Harold Reynolds know? He said Beckham would be the 2B of the all 2010-2019 MLB decade team! lol

Weird episode of The Killing yesterday. The only thing that pushed the story along was the last like 2-3 minutes. Found it pretty boring really, since all we learned was background information about Linden. Not one single scene with Rosie's family, the Richmond campaign, the teacher or his family, or any other side story. 100% of the episode was Linden, Holder, and Linden's son.

2011 Pre-Draft thread
QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 11:54 AM) FrankiePiliere Frankie Piliere Sources telling me the Astros are trying to cut a pre-draft deal with Stanford lefty, Chris Reed at #11. #mlbdraft 5 minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply How can this happen?? Is this deal like "If you haven't been picked in the first 10, then we are drafting you #11" type thing? Because that's dangerous for them if something like a Chris Sale type thing happens where a top 3-4 pick drops a bunch of spots, and they can't draft him because they already agreed on someone else. I guess the advantage is to try and get Chris Reed to sign for less, and get him in to the system immediately?

Asking price for Edwin
I really can't think of an offensive position we could upgrade, which is sad considering this team. OF is full, and it's full for next year too (Quentin-Rios-Viciedo). IF is full for a long time if they stick with Morel. I would either trade think a trade would have to be for prospects or bullpen arms, or a combination. I would actually like to know what the Yankees want for catching prospect Austin Romine, or a couple lesser prospects and reliever David Robertson.

Brent Morel becoming Crede-esque
QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 02:24 AM) Definitely. If his walk rate doesn't improve, he's not an MLB caliber player. No argument needed. I am thinking Morel can be a Kevin Kouzmanoff type bat, with a better avg, but little less power. I mean, Kouz only walks at a career 4.6%. In the minors, Morel was about a 6-8% every year.

2011 White Sox Catch-All Thread
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 09:23 AM) 1. Win. Or die trying. 4. Knowing what's coming and hitting what's coming- not the same thing. 5. Every pitch is full count. Every inning, the ninth. Every game, game seven. 6. The best seat in the house is often determined by the best players in the house. 7. Grinder ball requires speed, defense, and discipline. And immigration. 10. Only one statistic matters: W 11. When jumping on the White Sox bandwagon, do not, I repeat DO NOT, keep your hands and arms inside the wagon at any time. 21. Thieves will be punished. Swiftly, harshly and repeatedly. 22. When attending a Chicago White Sox game, don't blink. 23. When all is said and done, make sure you "done" more than you said. 25. A good outfielder doesn't see the wall. He tastes it. 26. Your hitting should serve as a warning. To low flying aircraft. 27. Be a highlight reel. 28. Always give fans something they can take away from the game. Like the other team's pride. 30. Good enough, isn't. 33. The best way to get out of a hole is to dig deeper. 37. Never walk. Even when you walk. 38 You're either counted on or counted out. 39. Be a man. Play like a boy. 43. Step up to the plate even if you're not stepping up to the plate. 44. There is more to baseball than peanuts and cracker jacks. 45. The best defense is a good win. 46. Respect the past, people that are shoeless, and anyone named Joe. 47. Flying does not make you superman. Getting up and making the throw to first for the force out, now that makes you Superman. 54. If you can't take the heat get out of the batter's box. 55. It's called stepping up to the plate for a reason. 58. Don't throw back a home run ball. 61. There is no "I" in team. But there is one in quit. 65. Do not sit in the leftfield bleachers, home to Scott Podsednik. 66. There is nothing loveable about losing. 73. When bringing the family to a White Sox game know your limits. 74. Believe in magic. Not magic numbers. 78. Ixnay on talkin' about the ayoffsplay 88. Make history, history. 96. Expect the unexpected at U.S. Cellular field, home of the White Sox. 98. Batters should fear your fastball. Not because it can get them out. Because it can knock them out. 162. Crying in baseball is acceptable only if champagne burns your eyes. 174. Hoist the city up on your shoulders. They'll return the favor. Are those the real grinder rules, or whatever they are called? Because if so, I love #46

Why is Hawk going nuts about Pierre's catch? Any average LF would have had it. Just because Juan shuffle-steps to the ball and gets a bad read does not mean it was a great play.
