Desean Jackson to the Redskins.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 09:58 PM) Yes, which still favors Noah over Hibbert. Regardless of how you look at it, Noah is at near the top of the board for many many voters for the award. Defensive Rating 1. Joakim Noah-CHI 95.7 2. Andrew Bogut-GSW 95.8 3. Paul George-IND 96.3 4. Tim Duncan-SAS 96.9 5. Roy Hibbert-IND 97.2 Defensive Win Shares 1. Paul George-IND 6.1 2. Joakim Noah-CHI 5.9 3. DeAndre Jordan-LAC 5.5 4. Roy Hibbert-IND 4.9 5. David West-IND 4.8 I find it weird that DeAndre Jordan is one of the most valuable centers in the NBA this year. He actually has more win shares than Noah and Dwight.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 04:47 PM) It's almost the end of the season so I will post predictions for the regular season awards, just because several Bulls will have legit shot at the honors MVP: Durant (well deserved) ROY: MCW (It's not saying much) Sixth Man: Taj Gibson (would be awesome to see a defensive player win it) DPOY: Noah (George is the only other deserving candidate) COY: Dwane Casey (Hornacek and Thibs also in the mix) All NBA First Team: Noah Durant Lebron Harden Paul All NBA Second Team: Cousins Love Griffin Dragic Curry All NBA Third Team: Howard Davis George Derozan (will probably be Wade) Wall Defensive First Team: Noah Davis George Butler Paul Defensive Second Team: Jordan Ibaka Lebron (Travesty if he was first team and not George) Henderson Conley Feel free to disagree To add: Most improved player: Anthony Davis with Demar DeRozan as an honorable mention.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 05:20 PM) I know all are close but I'm not sure I could place Davis on the third team. He's been ridiculous. Edit: for clarity, I'd place him higher. It's really close between him and Griffin.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 06:36 PM) Not going to mind Jose Fernandez pitch but really, Miami in the prime time game on espn tonight? Casey McGehee is their clean up hitter. And you thought Conor Gillaspie batting third was bad.

Opening day wins are always awesome.

OVA! Nice opening day win.

The wind's doing some weird s*** to the ball.

I have a feeling De Aza is going to hit a quarter of his HRs off Nolasco this year.

Avisail with a nice hit.

The wind definitely blew that one down.

Good positioning by the Sox on Mauer.

f***ing Suzuki.

Good to see a sellout today. And he gawn!

Why isn't Jones in? I'm not a fan of ex-Dodger relievers after Troncoso.

Hell of a start for Sale.

Belisario and Veal? Damn it...Come on Chris, you can get yourself out of this.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 05:05 PM) Maybe the fastest guy in the minors per Hawk. You don't steal 84 bases by being slow.

Watching Eaton hit is a lot of fun. His swing looks like it's all over the place.

Nolasco's out. Not a good debut for him.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 05:01 PM) Don't worry, someone on twitter saw him wrapping a towel around his elbow between innings and called for TJ surgery. Let me guess, Cubs fan?

Sale K's the side.

Oh man, Jason Kubel is on this team? f***.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 04:53 PM) Would rather see Nieto. Flowers is awful Every time I see Nieto at the plate, I keep thinking he's Josh Hamilton. He's got a very similar stance/swing.

Alexei running into that out was a good thing. Now you get Eaton to lead off the 7th.
