QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 09:02 PM) So they can still beat CONCACAF teams on US soil. Ho hum. Just need a draw against Paraguay and hope Colombia wins out.

Latos is definitely going to the bullpen after this start.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) I started that and watched 3 or 4 episodes and just couldn't get into it for some reason. Different strokes for different folks. I was hooked like 20 minutes in.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 10:32 PM) Fantastic show. When will season 2 be available? August. I think it'll be the final season.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 09:13 PM) So who is going to recommend some shows? If you haven't watched it already, Narcos on Netflix. It's about Pablo Escobar. The best part about the show is how it's narrated and how the story is presented. It's surreal that some of the things in the show actually happened in Colombia.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 04:44 PM) Ok, but literally none of those players except for Melky are overpaid, and in todays game, he gets paid just about what he'd get on the FA market, so he is hardly overpaid. You just don't get it man, these guys are being paid millions to play a kids game. All of them are vastly overpaid!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 11:50 AM) Lue lost me when he said they needed to play faster against the Warriors (playing right into Golden State's strength). Doesn't help when Richard Jefferson is your 2nd leading scorer in the finals. I wonder if they get swept, does Lebron opt out and leave Cleveland? Yes.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 04:14 AM) Series is over. GS is simply a terrible matchup for Cleveland. The Cavs have exactly one two-way player in LeBron. The Warriors have about six. It's really over when GS takes one in Cleveland. Until that, I wouldn't say it's quite over.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 07:23 AM) Rumors are rumors during the silly season, but the Vardy to Arsenal seems very likely to happen unfortunately. As for Spurs, they're also considered "favorites" for Batshuyi, Slimani and Wanyama too. They're obviously not signing them all. I really don't want to see Vardy leave, especially after the season LC just had. If they sign Embolo, he'd be a great replacement with a much higher ceiling.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 06:06 PM) I would be proud of the front office if they fired Robin. I'll believe it when I see it. I remember someone saying Ausmus might get fired before they even face the Sox this year a few weeks back. I think Ventura's more likely to get fired than Ausmus is at this point.

Damn we suck. You'd think the trade would cheer up some of the fanbase, but now I feel even worse.

2 runs against Mike Pelfrey...so f***ing sad.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 05:33 PM) This is valid but I think Hahn may just being opportunistic here. Even if Shields gets wacked around a bit at the cell, paying him 9M a year to make 32 starts is still worth it here. Can't have enough pitching. I don't even want to think this way, but Shields is 10x more valuable the trade asset that he was with the Padres now that they're paying him. Sox could lose the next 20 games and turn around and trade him for a package better than EJ/Tatis Jr. Yeah, the projection systems hate Latos and Gonzalez. They probably don't like Shields either, but at least we can expect a quality start from him most of the time. You never know with Latos and Gonzalez. This seems like a deal for the long term more than anything. For this year, we have to improve the offense if we want to compete.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 05:18 PM) I think it's a good trade in terms of resources spent to acquire innings pitched. Just feels though like the boat is already sinking and those holes need to be plugged ASAP We're plugging the wrong holes. We haven't been winning because of the bullpen and the inconsistent offense recently. Not because of our starting pitching.

Second half was god awful for the most part. Dempsey with a couple of good attempts on goal, but that was it. Seemed like Pulisic had no chemistry with some of the other forwards on the team as well. Really poor showing.

Colombia up 2-0. USMNT have played well, but two huge mistakes have cost us.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 04:54 PM) Select Mets game thread posts: And the POTD Albers' hit is better than Bartolo's homer. Cause Albers actually had to run the bases.

Albers is not broken anymore?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 01:53 AM) At least you're honest. I think most Bulls fans don't like him for the same reason.

I think almost everyone on this board has been asking this since opening day.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 10:03 AM) Saladino is in the line-up after all today, hitting behind JB Shuck. My god...Robin is obsessed with splitting the righties up in the middle of the lineup isn't he? I don't think that even matters when the guy doing it is JB Shuck.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 12:58 AM) I would prefer if LeBron and Cleveland never win ever again It has nothing to do with Cleveland for me. I just don't like LeBron. #salty4everover2010

Why would you sit Saladino after he just had a great game?

I will never pull for LeBron.

ChokeKC really blew it.
