QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 27, 2014 -> 02:24 PM) The dagger of all daggers I thought at the time. Except Houston came back in the next game and won the series, lol. If anything, it just ruined Brad Lidge.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 27, 2014 -> 02:12 PM) I wear shorts. I don't leave my feet. Maybe head first to beat a tag, but otherwise, nope. lol the one time I slid head first, I got a strawberry on my knee, my chest, my stomach, and my arm. And I also wore a white shirt that day, so that shirt was forever ruined.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 27, 2014 -> 02:04 PM) I dont want Abreu anywhere near the ASG including the HR derby. Stay home big man. It would be quite a show though. I saw Abreu hit two balls out of the stadium at Minute Maid (like the Pujols homer off Lidge in 05) during BP.

Let's get back to .500 again. If there's one team Chris Sale hasn't pitched well against, it's the Indians. 3-4 4.76 ERA in 62.1 innings.

QUOTE (TRU @ May 27, 2014 -> 12:16 PM) Welp, another two games Sunday and another 4 total at bats. We lost the first game 10-0, got called after the 5th. Lost the second game 14-4 also called after the 5th. I was a very disappointing 1-4 with a flyout at the fence and then 2 ground outs. On a side note, do any of you guys wear pants? I for some reason made the dumb decision to slide into third on our concrete like dirt and have that nasty road rash looking wound on my leg now. Its going to be too hot here soon to wear pants, I was thinking of some under armour compression legging things. That should at least minimize the damage from sliding. I wear baseball pants to games I care about where I might have to slide. And yeah, I've gotten a few strawberries from slides before, they're not cool.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ May 27, 2014 -> 10:43 AM) im sure now that it came out and he saw it, he regrets drinking that much lol sure hes not gonna hear the end of it in the clubhouse haha I'm sure Chris Sale is a lightweight. This is mostly likely him after 2-3 beers.

So I got royally screwed over yesterday in MLB The Show... Base runner on first steals, guy at the plate swings and misses, but his momentum carries him over the plate and he literally blocks my catcher's throw to second. No interference is called, the ball rolls away and the runner goes from first to third. I've never really encountered an interference or obstruction call in the Show before, but it appears such calls don't exist...

QUOTE (Brian @ May 27, 2014 -> 06:52 AM) Pacers are just dysfunctional. Blaming refs for getting smoked. They won't win a title anytime soon. David West got a tech for complaining about a totally non-existent foul. It was hilarious and well deserved.

Have yourself a day Conor.

1-2-3 by Petricka.

Nice play by Marcus.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 26, 2014 -> 03:40 PM) But it was the catcher who was battling, forget his name. In hindsight I was probably wrong; shoulda bunted. Nieto looked like he was going to bunt on the 0-1.

So I guess Sierra's bad at defense right?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 26, 2014 -> 03:18 PM) I am not ready to give up on Downs he has been very good for a long time. He's also very old now.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 26, 2014 -> 03:12 PM) He's poor on defense and a bad baserunner. He hasn't played poorly on defense this year. At least UZR doesn't think so (small sample I know) and he has made a couple of nice plays (I was there for the diving catch in Houston).

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 26, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) Did he softly touch him on the slide for the out and then went for the knee? It looked like he might have brushed the jersey initially. That's probably what made the replay inconclusive.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 26, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) This replay stuff sucks. Do away with it please. lmao wow. I guess it wasn't "conclusive" enough...

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 26, 2014 -> 03:10 PM) Too bad Sierra can't hit. Not many guys can make it close there. What an arm. He's hitting .297 with the Sox. He was just terrible with the Blue Jays early in the year.

Semien...smh.

And Donovan scores 3 goals today in an MLS game.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 25, 2014 -> 10:29 PM) They also benched Sefolosha for Jackson. The more he and Adams play (just say no to Fisher and Perkins) the better chance they have of a '12 repeat. Adams should definitely be starting over Perkins.

OKC vs. SA isn't over yet. Ibaka made a big difference for OKC tonight.

Dave Martinez is still available for hire. I, along with many others, thought he should have been hired in 2012 instead of Robin.

This. coaching. staff. is. terrible.

Can't believe Gordon looked at that pitch...
