QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:39 PM) Listening to Barry Larkin rip on players for taking steroids while sitting at a table with the brother of Brett Boone was awkward His year-by-year stat line just reads like an advertisement for the steroid era.

Sharp is being a feisty mofo tonight. Couple of bad turnovers by the D-men, looking scared to get hit or something.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:28 PM) I'll be honest, as long as Konerko and Sale aren't on the list, it wouldn't bug me that much if someone on Sox got in trouble. It would be highly amusing if Adam Dunn was on the list.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:09 PM) If you look at the scoreboard games for friday and saturday it says Toronto TBA as their pitcher. So we will see. I planned on going to the Wednesday game anyways because Sale is pitching On the Blue Jays site, they have Esmil Rogers pitching Friday, Buehrle pitching Saturday.

Is that Eric Cartman screaming before the game starts?

There is an off day Thursday, that's why he is following Dickey. If he starts Friday, then he would be in line to start Wednesday, but he won't be pitching Tuesday on three days rest.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 07:53 PM) MLB would be doing 2 simultaneous penalties, one for juicing and one for lying to investigators, not anything to do with the previous positive test, according to the article. Says they successfully did that with the minor leaguer. I realize he has some records and such, but MLB is putting awful lot of stock into one man's testimony. I would think the MLB players union will be ready to jump all over him.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 07:24 PM) Is that the actual list? Those are the names listed in the ESPN article, here is the link.

Alex Rodriguez Ryan Braun Melky Cabrera Bartolo Colon Yasmani Grandal Nelson Cruz Francisco Cervelli Jesus Montero Jhonny Peralta Cesar Puello Fernando Martinez Everth Cabrera Fautino de los Santos Jordan Norberto

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 06:02 PM) Sox are going to win 3-2 tonight. The Sox have actually had some surprising success against Felix in the past. In 15 starts, he is 3-5 with a 3.69 ERA. Sox are 8-5 in games he starts. Not that it means much with this current offensive funk, but they beat him the first weekend of the season.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 01:15 PM) Dan Rosen ‏@drosennhl 1h Kings lines: Williams-Kopitar-Brown; Penner-Carter-Toffoli; King-Stoll-Lewis; Clifford-Fraser-Richardson. Kings D pairs: Regehr-Doughty, Scuderi-Voynov, Muzzin-Greene. Appears Martinez, who played in Game 2 for Muzzin, is out. That Bolland hit on Richards is looming large...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 12:32 PM) Fleury's never been a stud - he's just a guy. True, but in the playoffs he's not even just a guy anymore, he's like a statue. He's been fine during the regular season.

Mayor Villaraigosa, When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the athletic bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the nation’s hockey fans, the separate and equal station to which the National Hockey League entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation, namely the desire to claim ownership of Lord Stanley’s Cup — We hold these truths to be self-evident, that while all men and women are created equal, all hockey teams are not, and that the Chicago Blackhawks are endowed with certain unalienable skills; that among these are outstanding defensive play, crisp passing, sharp shooting, tremendous goalkeeping, an intensity that is rivaled in neither the East nor the West, masterful coaching and a rightful place as the 2013 NHL Western Conference Champions (and ultimately 2013 Stanley Cup Champions), — That to secure this championship, much deserved, the Playoffs are instituted among the Teams, deriving their just powers from the consent of the League, — That whenever any Other Team becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People of Chicago and the Chicago Blackhawks to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new Western Conference Champion, and to do so with four victories achieved in no more than seven tries, laying its foundation on such principles as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Rejoicing on Madison Avenue in the City of Chicago, — In every stage of these Playoffs our Blackhawks have advanced in the most humble fashion: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury by your Kings. Kings, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, are unfit to be the champion of the NHL, and should be relegated to “Ye Olde Sin Bin.”. I, therefore, the Representative of the People of Chicago, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions (in this case NHL commissioner Gary Bettman), do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of this fair City of Big Shoulders, solemnly publish and declare that we will offer the following bounty, payable only if your Kings find way to defeat our Blackhawks in the forthcoming best-of-seven series that will commence today. We will offer: • 25 Italian beef sandwiches from Al’s Italian Beef • 3 Cases of Goose Island’s 312 Lager beer • One case of Robinson's Ribs Barbecue Sauce, containing the flavors Original, Brown Sugar and Hot. • 25 Slices of Eli's Cheesecake -- a "hat trick" of Original, Strawberry, and Chocolate Chip flavors. • One copy of The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration, for you to read in your forthcoming retirement. And for the support of this Declaration, we pledge our skates; our sticks; our Blackhawks. We humbly request your response at your earliest convenience. Rahm

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 11:59 AM) Oh, and Wil Myers has apparently gone Miguel Cabrera on the International league in the last week and a half. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/fantasy-roto...-174039796.html James Shields has a 2.83 ERA, but the Royals are 4-8 in his 12 starts. And they can't score runs.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 11:01 AM) They are starting Vokoun Fleury replaced Vokoun late in the 1st last night, and proceeded to give up a goal on the first shot he faced. I don't know who starts game 3, but it's still crazy that the guy who made the diving Cup-winning save in game 7 vs. DET has been absolutely worthless his last two playoff series.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:16 AM) It's hard for me to believe that a team in contention at the deadline would be willing to overpay enough for a young closer with zero playoff experience that the White Sox would deem him and his contract expendable. Other than maybe the Orioles, I can't think of a team that might be in contention and also be in need of an upgrade at closer. Never say never when it comes to relievers. Players get injured, teams get nervous, and they suddenly open the bank for any "proven" reliever. There have been plenty questionable trades in the past for bullpen guys.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:17 AM) With the way the what the who? Gordon Beckham has made a career of struggling mightily - streaks be damned, he's an equal-opportunity suckfest. I just spit out my morning tea on my screen.

look at the hustle from Tank

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 3, 2013 -> 08:58 PM) And their goaltending is a disaster. After these last two playoff seasons, it's hard to imagine Fleury as a Stanley Cup winning goalie.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2013 -> 07:58 PM) Dominic Brown is kinda on a good streak, wow With the all the talk about prospects and rebuilding in PHT, there's an example of a "can't miss" guy who looked like a bust, but has suddenly figured it out. Kind of like Chris Davis.

Are you all still so sure that the Hawks would be better served facing the Bruins? That Pittsburgh D is a sieve.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 3, 2013 -> 02:53 PM) Background: ND's code of academic conduct in the area of academic cheating/fraud calls for automatic failure in the class for the first offense and dismissal from the university with the possibility of being re-admitted after one semester for the second offense. There is no public knowledge of the first offense because student grades and conduct issues are protected due to privacy issues. Now here's the Golson/Daniels story as I've heard it: Golson had a previous offense and as a result failed a class. Then during the spring semester, Daniels asked to "look at" a paper Golson had written for a class. Daniels then copied the paper word for word and turned it in as his own. Golson supposedly didn't know Daniels had done this but it doesn't really matter and it counts as an offense for both of them. Now this is Golson's second offense so he is out of school for at least semester but it's Daniels' first offense so as long as failing that one class doesn't pull his overall GPA below an eligible level, he will still be able to play. What a dick move. Kelly should boot him off the team just for that.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 3, 2013 -> 02:29 PM) Interesting, since Quick has never led the league in save percentage or goals against average. Sigh. That said, nice signing as you can never have enough goaltending in your organization. That said, I'm finally on board with Crawford. After that Detroit series, his confidence is at an all-time high. Diving out to challenge that weird deflection off the glass over the weekend was goalie balls xINFINITY. MVP of the playoffs?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 3, 2013 -> 02:07 PM) There are already some rave reviews and scouting reports out there on this kid http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/hocke...,0,165338.story Sounds like the Jon Quick of Finland, nice.
