QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 08:07 PM) He is playing with fire tonight, they have hit him hard, happy the Cards have not scored. Mark would have games like this too. Give up a hit or two, then get a GIDP. Lather, rinse, repeat

Who needs Mark Buehrle for $14 million when you can have the Colombian version of him for the minimum?

O-Dawg! Right in front of the pitchers spot too

The Sox have the 2nd best home record in the division. Cleveland is the only team better and they are exactly at .500

8 to 5

Had some good chances, but I will take a tie vs. Russia. Gotta beat the Czechs on Saturday to advance. Easier said than done, but that's all you can ask for.

QUOTE (balfanman @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 03:19 PM) Or have a lineup that is "enhanced". Palmiero, A-Rod, Juan Gone, Byrd, Matthews, Pudge

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 03:13 PM) I'd rather have Soriano for $1 million a year than Dunn at $14 million a year. At the same price, give me the lefty. Gotcha, makes sense. If the Cubs are gonna eat that much of Soriano's contract, I would assume they would be looking for a better prospect than Doyle.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 02:45 PM) Here's what we do. We get someone to take on the entire remaining fraction of Adam Dunn's contract, and hopefully throw us a minor leaguer or two at the same time. We then get the Cubs to take on all but $2 million of Soriano's remaining salary, in exchange for something of Doyle's value. In that case, I'm game. So you would rather have Soriano than Dunn?

Goal Blaszczykowski! Now that's a true Polish name. 1-1

Polish & Russian fans might kill each other before this game even starts...

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 01:09 PM) Cubs fired hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo. I give Cubs brass credit they dumped him unlike the Sox that kept Walker 3 years too long! It turns out it's much harder to "teach" hitting when you aren't in that ballpark in Arlington.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 12:52 PM) Just the two victims that have spoken up so far is enough for a conviction, their stories are f***ing crazy and the defense is having a hard time disproving anything. Yeah, their testimony has been hard to follow, just because of how f***ing awful it is to hear. McQueary is testifying now, will be interesting to see exactly what he says under oath.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 09:57 AM) So I got a call from a recruiter today... Trying to decide how to do this one. Hopefully the recruiter works for John Calipari. I hear he pays well!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 08:51 AM) Congrats, Kings! I can't wait to read about how Bill Simmons' 10-year old daughter is so happy about this after she sobbed herself home when the Kings lost the last clincher and were only up 3 games to 1 at that point. Such a tough lesson in sports! f*** him. All his hometown teams have won titles in the last decade and now his adopted hockey team wins too? Stop attending all these games and put some more work in on your s*** website. (Yes, I know you were being sarcastic, but I had to add on to it)

Jose Quintana 1-1, 2.05 vs. Adam Wainwright 5-6, 4.97

Beckham

PK14

Dunn

For the next 3 days, Go Cubs Go! Beat Detroit!

So the Stanley Cup Final will be decided on a big hit major penalty. Kind of fitting considering how the playoffs started.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 11, 2012 -> 03:25 PM) I'm guessing that's a Ukranian player and not a Swede? Yup. He's easily their best all-time player.

Shevchenko!

9 years, $30 million. If he pans out, that's a great deal and he can't hit free agency until he is 29.

THEOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! What a freaking baseball genius.
