I keep hearing we don't want to bring up Viciedo because Pierre is on an MLB contract, and the team doesn't want to lose money. Isn't Viciedo also on an MLB contract, since we signed him out of Cuba? Aren't we paying him $4 million to kill AAA? I realize Pierre isn't really an issue in this game, but it's been on my mind since listening to Rongey yesterday.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 09:00 PM) Dunn juist amazes me. 3 at bats and 3 k's and Zambrano is a righty pitcxher with nothing on the ball according to you guysAnd this is a team and pitcher he's hit well in the past.

6 runs on 7 baserunners for the Cubs. Castro and Pena with 3 rbi each.

Castro again. Sometimes I forget how frustrating Floyd can be.

PIERRE WAS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR LILLIBRIDGE MAKING THAT CATCH.

We had 3 or 4 good chances to pull this one out. You knew the longer this one went, the more likely the Jays would win.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 28, 2011 -> 04:21 PM) Who the hell is Luis Perez? A guy who throws a bunch of slow garbage and goes right after our hitters. I don't think he's thrown anything over 82 mph.

Man teams are just going right after Dunn.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 26, 2011 -> 10:20 PM) No he didn't but he did hit him on the elbow, it was a foul. Right now I seriously hate Derrick Rose. f***IN HATE HIM I don't blame Rose so much. First time in the conference finals, and he's only 22. He had a ton of pressure on him as this team's only offensive weapon when the other team was playing good defense. We saw in the Indiana and Atlanta series that he sometimes couldn't do it all. Someone else needed to step up, and they didn't. We also really need a good offensive game plan for next year, because we can't always rely on Rose in the playoffs, as this series showed.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 26, 2011 -> 10:16 PM) if rose fouled D wade on his 3....lebron fouled rose on the last 3 Definitely. Rose was hit by both defenders. Still, a terrible offensive possession and a ginormous choke job is to blame for this game.

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 05:32 AM) If we pool all of our Soxtalk resources, think we could buy the Dodgers? We could run it my committee, we'd win a WS every year. Yes. Yes we could. And we'd be the only franchise to trade players, and fire the entire coaching staff after a 3 game losing streak.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 11:39 PM) lol. that would take some kind of miracle involving the use of chloroform in a sign-and-trade and I'm not even sure it can actually be done but I'd jizz myself. Not like Joakim Noah is chopped liver but the Bulls would be a juggernaut... fun to think about, anyway.I was more hoping we'd get rid of Boozer somehow, and since this is a ridiculous fantasy scenario with no chance of happening, that's absolutely what we would do.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 11:04 PM) Whatever with this discussion. What happens to Dwight Howard is the Magic happen to lose in the first round?He signs with the Bulls?

I miss this guy...

Inherited runners vs inherited runners allowed to score is already tracked, I believe.

Got Dragon Age 2 yesterday, and I ordered MLB '11 today. I skipped '10 because I couldn't hit a damn thing in '09. Hopefully I figure it out this year, although the demo wasn't very encouraging.

Why are there high school girls singing on this broadcast?

I like Viciedo.

3-0 Cleveland. 3 singles, double play (scores 1), 2 run homer by Weglarz(sp)?

So who's playing Black Ops on PS3? I could use more teammates. PSN: al_magest

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 02:45 PM) I'm pretty convinced that Cowley just sits on his recliner drinking beer and tweeting things that sound plausible (or not). He's probably not in Orlando right now...in fact, he's probably never even seen the inside of the Sox clubhouse. For all I know, he's an A.I. (I use the "I" liberally) broadcasting over the Internet. Cowleytron. Would Cowley pass a Turing test?

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 02:10 PM) I don't think this by itself would refute those beliefs though? It could be easily explained away.Yeah, "creation science" is pretty good at making up things.

The Black Ops M16 is nowhere near as good as the MW/MW2 version. I still like it a lot, though. Also digging the M14 -- two shot kill out to a considerable distance. My favorite classes so far, though, are Skorpion extended mags/C275 full auto/Scavenger/Sleight of Hand/Marathon, and Galil Silenced/C275 full auto/Ghost/Hardened/Hacker. Also, give the decoy grenades a try, if you haven't already. I love tossing a decoy out, watching someone pop out for the "easy kill", only to get facially raped by me.

Black Ops should be waiting for me when I get home. Anyone wants to play on PS3, let me know. Gamertag = al_magest
