Either the Sharks are setting themselves up for another epic meltdown or the Kings are in real trouble.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 16, 2016 -> 03:33 PM) Arrieta is just insane at Wrigley. Of course Rockies had a split-squad lineup today. Unless his arm falls off, he has proven that he is for real. The Rockies starter today was a righty with ridiculous reverse splits, so they started a nearly all righty lineup, not many teams would do that. They were a -320 favorite today, which is massive in baseball.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 11:30 PM) He'll have to outpitch Matt Albers. And outrun him. I smell a 100 yard dash challenge.

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 09:56 PM) And that's how you steal one on the road. Legit stole it. Yup. In the end, the call was right, his toe was off the ice, but yeah, I'd be f***ing pissed if I were a Blues fan. It's gotta feel like deja vu for them, even though it's only tied 1-1. Kind of like a Cubs fan usually feels in the playoffs.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 10:50 PM) If you're a Bears fan, why wouldn't you want 4 games to be at home after Thanksgiving? Who cares about the weather? I'd trade a great end to the year for the team (4-2, 5-1) if it meant 15 degrees every game. Also, I love watching them live and on TV in primetime, so I don't mind their lone September home game to be on MNF. I'm not sure why the NFL thought 2 of the top 13 worst teams being on MNF week 2 was a good idea but I won't complain Like I said, it looks like a good schedule to help them make the playoffs. But as a season ticket holder, I don't want to spend half the season in below 30 degree weather. I want to have at least one game in the 60 degree sun in September. Winning is more important, but for fans attending games, it's not an ideal schedule by any means.

Wow, this is crazy. Side note: This DJ is killing it with his choice of replay /challenge songs.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 08:40 PM) Oh hey, that Keith guy is back. Might have saved a goal there after Corey got nailed in the head.

Is it too early to get legitimately excited about this team? They are already making me feel funny inside. Or is that the scotch?

QUOTE (God Loves The Infantry @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 09:02 AM) I'm pissed at Laroche. I have a young son. I wish I could bring him to work with me. But I can't. And I certainly couldn't bring him in and let him become the center of attention like Drake was. And if my job performance sucked last year, I know that any generosity my employers might have had towards me would have ended real quick. So I get it, and I am certainly on the White Sox' side. That said, can ya'll chill with the Bangkok conspiracy talk? It's moronic and juvenile, to be honest. I doubt these missions actually help sex slaves and I'm personally uncomfortable with being around pimped out preteens in bikinis, but I am 100% confident that Laroche and Boyer were not there to diddle Thai "ladyboys". Some of the comments just make it seem less like you're pissed at what he did (sucking at baseball, demanding special treatment and abandoning his teammates- which is fair IMO) and more pissed at who he is (which is douchey). Nobody actually sets out to diddle "ladyboys", it just kind of happens. Haven't you seen The Hangover 2?

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 05:02 PM) Bears open up in Houston It seems like a pretty manageable schedule for any future playoff aspirations. Pretty s***ty home schedule for the fans though. No day games in September, four home games after Thanksgiving, blech.

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 11:32 PM) This Stars-Kings game is fantastic. One of these team is going to the WCF. Quack quack quack

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) The east is so bad at hockey they fight in the playoffs The Islanders lost on purpose to get in the quadrant with the Florida teams and Detroit, what does that tell you. One of those teams will make the conference final.

Cross David Murphy off the list, the winless Twins signed him and sent him to AAA.

I totally forgot the Rams were in LA now. I wonder if that gave them more incentive to make a splashy move.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 08:31 AM) So anyway, Kobe is the man. Since '93-94, Jordan had the most field goal attempts in one game, 49. Kobe had 50 last night. A fitting ending.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 08:19 AM) Wow. Can't imagine this turns out well for the Rams long-term. That's a ton of picks to give up. It all depends on if they can find a franchise QB with that 1st pick. They were on the other end of this type of deal with Washington. Everyone talks about how well they made off in that trade, yet Washington made the playoffs once and St. Louis didn't. because RG3 was legit (for one season) and the Rams still don't have a QB.

As I have been saying for a while, just get this rotation into the playoffs, and there's no doubt in my mind they can win the whole thing. Just figure out a way to make the dance and let the arms take over.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 10:03 PM) Rodon did a great job of battling through a horrendous umpire. Solid win. 6-2 is absolutely fantastic no matter which teams you're playing. Exactly. Remember the game thread Monday morning, everyone was prepping for a one-run loss. Not because Minnesota was better, just because that had become the norm. Beating inferior teams is so important to rack up the wins and has been missing recently. Keep that up and the summer might be optimistic.

Ken Hitchcock actually said that 41 hits isn't enough, they need to reach 70 hits per game if they want to win the series. Has somebody been on the phone with Ryan Kesler?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 02:00 AM) Mashinter had no business playing in this game. Keith (who will be in) and Panik (who SHOULD be in) better be drawing Svedberg and Mashinter next game. Hell, I'd put in Weise for Desjardins as well. Weise is a much better playoff performer and Hawks need the offense. No way. Do not break up the Desjardins-Kruger-Shaw line.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 11:36 PM) 17 shots. 4 shots in the final 30 minutes yet they score the only goal. f***ing Playoff hockey can be a b**** sometimes.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 10:51 PM) This game is a physical bloodbath. "No human can withstand that many hits" - Kesler, Ryan

Rozsival to the concussion room. Lazerus tweeted that Hawks game 1 of the playoffs has gone to OT four years in a row. Feels like year 5 is gonna happen.

Mans***ter may have just cost himself a spot in game 2 with that penalty.
