QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 11, 2017 -> 07:30 PM) Benetti and Stone said the rule was changed this year and now you can be charged with an error on a potential double play. You learn something new everyday. Always nice to see baseball willing to change

QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2017 -> 01:23 PM) Let's get Mets and Nats in a bidding war if Familia is done for season I think the Mets are throwing in the towel this season. If Addison Reed does well as replacement closer, I bet the Sox could get him for a fringe prospect. Maybe the Mets would take Matt Davidson?

James Wagner‏Verified account @ByJamesWagner 34m34 minutes ago More Whoa. Mets announce Jeurys Familia diagnosed w/ arterial clot in R shoulder. To see Dr. Thompson in St. Louis for tests & possible surgery. At some point, it's not just bad luck with injuries, right?

QUOTE (Tony @ May 11, 2017 -> 11:28 AM) I'd be sort of surprised if they protect Panik from the Vegas draft. That's what I meant. Everyone thinks Kruger is gonna get nabbed by Vegas, but I could see Panik just as easily left unprotected.

The IOC is just desperate for a city to sign and agree to host the Olympics, so many cities are finally saying, "Thanks, but no thanks". Hosting the Olympics is like owning a boat, it's fun for everyone involved except for the owner who has to pay for everything.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 11, 2017 -> 09:41 AM) That seems a little unnecessary. Yeah, would have preferred closer to 2 than 3, although LeBrun says he turned down more to stay, which I don't get because free agency is over 45 days away. QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 11, 2017 -> 10:15 AM) Bye bye Kruger. Unless it's bye bye Panik?

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ May 11, 2017 -> 08:56 AM) Caps gonna Caps,lol and I honestly thought Ducks we're gonna get shafted. They had a lot of scoring chances and just weren't capitalizing. At least they pulled it out. They just dominated that 2nd period but only got one goal, I kinda thought they were gonna regret not scoring more. But the Ducks did play well, it never really felt like Edmonton was controlling the game at all in the final 2 periods.

Should we just re-name this the "Contender blew a save" thread?

The Sox got Jason Bourgeois back? I know he had made it back in the majors with Cincy for a while. He's a perfect example of "You can't steal first base".

Caps lose and Ducks are down early in a game 7 at home. Why even play the games?

Simulated games? Reminds me of the 04-06 Cubs. That didn't end well

Game 7 hockey is fun!

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ May 10, 2017 -> 06:13 PM) I like a lot of the Cubs players but I don't get all the love for Schwarber. The only player on the Cubs I absolutely want is Bryant. Chicks dig the long ball and he was a monster in the '15 postseason, so I get the hype train. But he hasn't even played 3/4 of a full regular season including playoff games, his story can still go a few different ways.

QUOTE (ron883 @ May 10, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) That's some good cherry picking. Jose has been in the league from ages 27-30. Those are pretty prime years. I doubt it's all that impressive when you compare OPS from the ages of 27 to 30. If I'm using basebell reference correctly, there are 104 players with a career OPS of .873 or greater. http://www.baseball-reference.com/play-ind...umber_matched=1 If you change that to only the period from age 27 to 30, that number increases to 183 players. http://www.baseball-reference.com/play-ind...umber_matched=1 I'm not a subscriber so I can't see the full list, just the total.

So head coaching hires mean nothing anymore, it's all about assistant coaches now?

He's totally hiring the black sheriff from Milwaukee

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ May 9, 2017 -> 08:03 AM) Exactly, I'm fully with the Oilers winning tomorrow.Not a big Ducks fan so I'm okay with that but Caps lose tomorrow and Ovechkin might as well just go play in Russia. He'll never win a SC. And he now has the ultimate game 7 weapon / lucky charm on his side. If not this year, then never. Stephen Whyno‏ @SWhyno 18h18 hours ago Mr. Game 7 Justin Williams will play his first Game 7 with #Caps in 2nd season in Washington. He has 7 goals, 7 assists, is 7-0 in Game 7s.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 9, 2017 -> 01:44 PM) I mean, you chose Spirit. You knew it sucked. I'm with you. It sucks the flights were canceled, but you chose to fly on the ultra cheapest airline, then you physically threatened airline employees. Florida.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ May 9, 2017 -> 06:41 AM) Caps should win game 7, but I'd be willing to bet they're gonna lose in devastating fashion tomorrow. Wednesday night should be fun, you have two teams playing with a recent history of falling flat on their face in big games. Although at least the Ducks have their Cup from 10 years ago, the Caps haven't even made the final 4 in like 20 years.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 8, 2017 -> 11:08 AM) I was at the epic game 5 comeback. Was sitting in a suite next to Gretzky and on the other side were 30 Edmonton fans (who flew from Edmonton). Was priceless seeing the reactions, haha (as a non Duck / Non oiler fan...I root for fan meltdowns, haha). Crazy game though...3 goals in 3:30 minutes and then the winner in 2 OT. Nice, that must have been an epic scene, seemed like a lot of Oilers fans in the crowd. That was late start here, so I called it a night early in the 3rd period, I was shocked to see the score in the morning.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 8, 2017 -> 11:27 AM) The Cubs are nowhere near as good as they were last year and that warms my heart. Yet they are almost a lock to make the playoffs again. That division makes the AL Central look tough.

Death, taxes, and the Ducks blowing 3-2 series leads

QUOTE (flavum @ May 7, 2017 -> 09:43 AM) Francisco Rodriguez blew a save last night in Oakland. Some things never change with the Tigers. Is a 8.49 ERA bad?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 5, 2017 -> 03:52 PM) God, the rotating DH. Thome's homer off Thornton (still may not have landed) really was the breaking point. The franchise has yet to fully recover from that home run

That Cory Nicole triangle puzzle was the worst thing I have ever seen. It's divisible by 3! Can't believe Nelson might actually win, CT might be too much of an old man now
