Almost 400 posts in the 7th inning??? You would think the team was doing well, lol

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:18 PM) D the cubs really think Pena is going to start butting bombs just because he had one last night? You better drop some hgh in his coffee well they do have him hitting 8th

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:10 PM) Ted Lilly vs the cubs is probably more fun to watch I was there when he faced them last Saturday, they were crushing everything he threw

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2011 -> 09:06 AM) So what's happened to Broxton? Just overuse over the years? He was throwing 89-91 mph last night after averaging 98 mph a few years ago. A lot of people point towards a June 27 outing vs. the Yankees last year. He threw 48 pitches in blowing a 4-run lead and has never been the same. His stats before and after that game are eye-opening, can't find the article that listed them. Sounds like they are shutting him down for now.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 4, 2011 -> 12:36 PM) Good move in not releasing the pictures. The doubters will claim the pictures are photo-shopped. The extremists will use it as a rallying point. My thoughts exactly.

The Cubs 7-8-9 hitters today make a combined $45.875 million this season

I voted for 2006. 2011 will probably be more disappointing, but I can't vote for it yet. It's still only May 4, and there are still about 130 games left to be played. I don't think they will be successfull, but it is too early for me to call the entire season a disappointment.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 4, 2011 -> 11:14 AM) So here is the question of the day... Should Obama have used intell gathered by torture to go after Bin Laden? If intell gathered by torture tells you the exact time/date/place/method of a terrorist attack, should you not do everything you can to prevent it?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 4, 2011 -> 11:40 AM) In all seriousness, wasn't he considered a big piece of crap? He was the reason they threw the WS

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:14 AM) Laugh all you want...but when this team saw a crowd of only 20,000 there tonight, it had to be demotivating. If the fans aren't going to come out for a key game against a top divisional rival, why even try? Crowds like this insure that we will not contend this year. Then how have the Indians won 13 in a row at home??? On this winning streak, they have had one crowd of 26k, while every other game had less than 17k, and 5 games of under 10k. Their fans obviously don't give a s***, yet they can't lose at home. They had 3 games against the 2nd place team last week, and all of them were under 10k. They still were motivated enough to sweep them.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 4, 2011 -> 10:46 AM) Did you not see the title of the thread? He got 5-years post World Series. You're just a hater! The 5-year post WS was the end of last October, right around when they started hating.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2011 -> 10:22 AM) So a thought came to me that really frustrated me about last night. Twice this year, the Sox faced a lefty where they only scored one run against the starter (Braden, Britton). In both of those games, the only run came due to Lillibridge. Why is Ozzie not finding a spot against LHP for one of our few dangerous hitters right now? Juan Pierre must play everyday

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ May 3, 2011 -> 03:03 PM) Shin-Soo Choo is the latest MLBer in trouble for being drinky. Epic year for DUI's so far. http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/05/...-dui-yesterday/ Not only do the Indians lead the majors in wins with 20, but they just took over 1st place in DUIs with 2.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 4, 2011 -> 10:06 AM) But then there's that only the 1987 Tigers coming back from more than 10 GB at this point in the season issue. I think the other two to do it were in 1908 and 1911 on one of Juan Pierre's old teams in the NL. What I love about this stat, is that there have been numerous teams that have come back from being 10 GB in May, June, July, even August. Just not April.

The good news is that tickets on StubHub are just gonna keep get cheaper. I still love watching MLB baseball outdoors in the summer, so I will still hit up a few games. I just won't have to get very into the games and what the score is.

Here's something to cheer everyone up after last night: http://www.nba.com/bulls/stacey-king-soundboard.html

QUOTE (flavum @ May 4, 2011 -> 09:55 AM) Pierre, Ramirez, Dunn, Konerko, Quentin, Pierzynski, Rios, Teahen, Vizquel Glad to see Morel & Beckham out of there

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 3, 2011 -> 11:08 PM) For the Twinkies,, 6'4, 240 Nick "Oh s***. I'm about to get bounced from this rotation" Blackburn! Yesterday, it was Francisco "Oh s***. I'm about to get bounced from this rotation" Liriano. It worked out well for him.

Nick Blackburn Adam Dunn
