QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 20, 2014 -> 03:03 PM) The average high for the first full weekend of February in Minneapolis is 27 degrees. The average low is 10. For comparison's sake, the average H/L in East Rutherford for the same day is 41/24. Yes, that is going to be a cold ass Superbowl. The new stadium is outdoors? That's just silly.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 16, 2014 -> 12:16 PM) Yeah, why is this overlapping with the game? Have it after. I'm actually going to be at the game and I could go to this if it were later. Given the typical Sox attendance, I'm sure they weren't too concerned about many people being at the game instead.

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ May 20, 2014 -> 12:31 PM) Guys, I always get you two confused on here!! They are nothing compared to flavum & fathom. They don't have avatars or sigs to stick out either.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 20, 2014 -> 11:29 AM) Wow, apparently there was a clause in John Lackey's contract that he would have a club option at minimum salary for 2015 "if Lackey misses significant time 2010-2014 due to an elbow injury during the deal." Lackey had TJ and missed the 2012 season so the Red Sox will have him at league minimum next year. It's hard to feel bad for a guy who has made over 100 million pitching in the majors but that guy has been getting shelled in many different ways over the last few years. Why would they include that clause in his contract? After this year, I think that will end that clause for any rational pitcher. Perhaps this is karma for divorcing his wife will she battled cancer... I guess they saw something in his physical when signing him that led to them asking to include it. Felix Hernandez has a similar clause for $1 million in his mega deal, only if it's an elbow injury. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-rise-of...-lackey-clause/

QUOTE (bmags @ May 20, 2014 -> 09:30 AM) On the other hand, wasn't it Montreal who won first 2 on road in Boston and lost 2 at home? Maybe they are just really bad at home. They were 5-1 in the playoffs at home heading into this round. I think they just came out flat in game 1 after beating their biggest rival in a 7 game series. Last night was all about the King.

The rule of 2014 is anybody important to the future or possible trade bait this season must spend time on the DL.

Last night's win ended a 13-game losing streak for the Rangers when entering a playoff game with the series lead.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 19, 2014 -> 05:30 PM) No Gillaspie or De Aza in this lineup. Sitting LHB against LHP? Genius Robin

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 19, 2014 -> 12:46 PM) That same information was out 2 days ago. Oops, I thought it was something new.

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 3m Jose Abreu undergoing further tests on injured ankle today in Chicago, including MRI. He's in a walking boot. Developing story. @FOXSports1

Wow, Carey Price is out for the entire ECF. Chris Kreider better skate with his head up tonight.

Good thing Abreu's scheduled day off on Friday was canceled.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 17, 2014 -> 08:36 PM) Balta> Ventura Agreed. He is dominating this thread

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 16, 2014 -> 03:05 PM) CG17 = gay But really he was a very nice guy when I met him. Hope the best for him. Wasn't his wife on Amazing Race? Not sure about the gay thing. ..

Andrew Cashner to the DL. His inability to stay healthy was the main variable of that trade

QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2014 -> 06:58 PM) If Rick Porcello has actually turned into an above average starter, the Tigers might win 100 games this season. I still can't believe the Rangers took the fat vegetarian off their hands. He sucks now too

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 17, 2014 -> 09:30 AM) So, fertility drugs for Robert Mathis? I honestly believe his excuse. (And that's rare for me)

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 16, 2014 -> 10:45 PM) Good win. Didn't look good early but got better At the start of this game thread, you would think it was the 2003 Tigers we were talking about.

Justin Williams is the king of game 7s Hawks-Kings it is, I'll be at game 1, let's do this!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 16, 2014 -> 09:49 PM) Gaborik is a real concern. I questioned the deadline trade because he only seemed to score when it didn't matter in the past, but he has come to play in these playoffs.

First time a team has had two 3-game losing streaks in the playoffs and managed to advance each time. It's on Sunday at the UC.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 16, 2014 -> 08:29 PM) Not a good start... Oh boy, looks like I praised him too soon. That play by Quick on the penalty shot was huge. Remember Frolik's penalty shot vs. Detroit last year? That was awesome.

20 years old, 6 career NHL games, in net for a game 7, no big deal.

QUOTE (Tannerfan @ May 16, 2014 -> 04:03 PM) I respect a man who feels he needs to earn his 68 million dollars. And sometimes taking a day off puts you in a position to better earn that money
