What kind of throw was that? That looked like a pop up.

It wasn't even a well placed fastball and Melky swung right through it.

Avi had knee inflammation? I thought it was something in his back.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2015 -> 06:51 AM) The problem with doing that is if Baez can't play 2B (offensively more than defensively), then they've just created another hole to replace the one they fixed. They could probably stick Alcantara back there again, but pretty sure they don't want to do that at this point. This is by far the best Kris Bryant "rumor" out there. That he could have been a Rhodes Scholar...their definition is REALLY pushing it. Bryant has options if his baseball career doesn't pan out. Stafford said Bryant ranked second in his (Las Vegas high school) class while taking honors and advance placement courses. Despite his ascent as a major league prospect, Bryant honored his commitment to the University of San Diego, succeeded as a finance major and could have filled out the paperwork to apply as a Rhodes Scholar at the end of his junior year there. But he didn't because had he achieved the honor, it would have steered him away from pursuing a professional baseball career for at least two years. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0314-story.html Kris Bryant...he was heavily recruited by LSU, Arizona State, UC Irvine, Stanford, Clemson, Auburn, USC and Vanderbilt...chose to attend USD because of the great baseball program, the beach and the wonderful weather in San Diego...notes that he graduated high school with a 4.78 GPA, and that he is really into cars, and likes to play golf. http://www.usdtoreros.com/sports/m-basebl/...ant_kris00.html And I graduated with a 5.54 GPA.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 18, 2015 -> 09:47 PM) Ventura's best game of the season. I liked him not calling for the Alexei bunt, as we know he can't bunt to move runners over. Called the hit and run this inning with Conor as well. I was afraid that he'd hit into a double play. I'd rather he pop up a bunt than ground it to SS.

Hell of a game and what a job by Sanchez. He bailed us out after Alexei and Soto didn't do their jobs.

Over .500 for the first time.

OVAH! CARLOS SANCHEZ!

The one time where a bunt would have made sense and we don't bunt.

Even Hawk didn't make himself manager when he was the GM for that one year.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 18, 2015 -> 11:16 AM) Goff lying too? Didn't Goff produce Bernstein's show for a long time?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2015 -> 10:52 AM) It is only logical if you accept that Rose would rather be the best player on a mediocre team, versus being #2 or #3 and winning a title. I think he still thinks he's best PG in the NBA. As humble as people think he is, he's got a lot of killer instinct. You don't play as well as he does (when healthy) if you don't have the mindset that you're the best and that you're the man.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) That article is long on imagination, and short on substance. Other than the play that night, there is zero evidence in there. No player or coach statements, no interaction between Rose and Butler to read into... Nothing. Nothing at all. Is there any real evidence out there? No, because no player or coach currently on the team would let that out. Stuff like this seems out of character for Jimmy, but Rose's alleged behavior isn't completely surprising to me. The guy's never willingly recruited superstars the Bulls were courting that were definitely better than him. Gasol or Boozer? Yeah that's fine, they'll be the #1 guy on offense. LeBron or Melo? That means he's no longer the main guy on offense. Rose has built a brand that he's from Chicago and that he represents the city. It would only seem logical that he wants to be the main guy to win this team a championship.

The one game where the two pitcher's ERAs don't tell you anything.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 18, 2015 -> 10:33 AM) http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2015/05/18/ber...-marred-game-6/ Butler/Rose issues have been talked about on The Score all day. Goff reported some stuff as well. I feel like there could be some semblance of truth to it. Neither will admit to it. Rose has had issues with recruiting star players before. Maybe he just doesn't like sharing the spotlight.

Bernstein wrote about a rumor that Rose and Jimmy aren't getting along. Rose was aggressive in the first qtr of game 6, then he stopped doing anything after that and let Butler take the reigns. Bernstein thinks it's his passive-aggressive way of telling Butler to try and be the main man on offense.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 18, 2015 -> 07:56 AM) I'm looking forward to it since I love international football, but it's not one of the more interesting torunaments for me. I prefer the Euros, Gold Cup and AFCON over it. I'll of course still watch as much as I can and am super excited about next year's Copa America with the US and Mexico involved. I think Cesc Fabregas is a much better hopeful comp. He has great vision and his passing ability is already top class. I don't think he'll score much but he could develop one of those uncanny abilities to control the game from the midfield. Pogba is more of an all-around player. But the guy literally went from a prospect in the United system to a world class player for Juventus in two years. With Zelalem so young, you'd hope he develops like Paul Pogba.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 18, 2015 -> 08:48 AM) Can't believe no one has made a joke about our Dan Jennings yet And Jennings gives up another hit! Here comes the skipper Dan Jennings, to take out Dan Jennings.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 17, 2015 -> 06:43 PM) Back to .500 and now we have to face the AL central again but at least we are at home! We get to play the Indians first too.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 17, 2015 -> 05:49 PM) Man f*** the bulls. The Rockets showed what an indomitable spirit can do. It helps that the Clippers blew a 20 point lead.

Rowand is good mojo ATM. Please keep him until we lose.

Barcelona take La Liga. They need to win the Treble this year.

What a series for Garcia as well. He's looked like Miguel Cabrera the past two games.

At .500, but a -29 run differential. Sox say screw Pythagorean record!

Wow, I never thought I'd see the Sox sweep in Oakland.
