QUOTE (fathom @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:23 PM) Just the umps being big wimps after the Red Sox/Rays stuff last weekend. It's called give warnings. Then it's fair to both teams. This is totally unfair to the Sox.

I don't get this at all...was there anything before this other than the HBP of A.J. that could have caused this? This is so f***ing stupid.

How is that even possible?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 30, 2012 -> 12:49 PM) Speaking of Q, did anyone see old Q hit a HR yesterday at Wrigley? God, he looks so strong when he is belting homeruns. Could you imagine the power this team would have with Q in the OF instead of De Aza? I wouldn't want Rios in CF again.

Wasted opportunity.

Cuban connection!

Not worth the wait.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ May 30, 2012 -> 11:25 AM) Cobb throws his change about 50% of the time. This will be an exercise in patience for our boys... His change is also 5 MPH slower than his fastball, which is very odd.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 30, 2012 -> 11:09 AM) Well Jennings is out, but you'd think he would consider Zobrist... Yeah, Zobrist seems like the much better option. It might have to do with him trying to break up the streak of left handed hitters in the middle of the lineup.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 30, 2012 -> 09:38 AM) I was thinking about that earlier this morning - and how nice it is that the Sox aren't waiting until they're ten games out to go on a run for once. Yeah, the deficit this year is a lot easier to make up.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 29, 2012 -> 10:39 PM) Fixed for a world of accuracy. I really don't know about Matheny. Last I checked, the Cardinals aren't even in first place and they've struggled lately. Add in the fact that he took over a World Series champion...and I don't think he will win it unless the Cardinals win 100+ games.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ May 30, 2012 -> 09:46 AM) I think those games are blacked out here on mlb audio... There are no blackouts for audio.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 30, 2012 -> 09:26 AM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal #Tigers call up C Omir Santos to replace 2B Ryan Raburn on roster. Wow, Raburn got sent down.

QUOTE (G&T @ May 29, 2012 -> 09:29 PM) So they are bad at what they are paid to do... Yeah, but that doesn't mean they're not good at something else...like giving you a laugh or two.

QUOTE (G&T @ May 29, 2012 -> 09:16 PM) Looking back at it is unreal. Ray Durham, Frank Thomas, Paul Konerko, Magglio Ordonez, AND Carlos Lee in the same lineup. They hit .286 .356 .470 .826 as a TEAM That was also in the steroid era. But yeah, that team was awesome on offense.

QUOTE (G&T @ May 29, 2012 -> 09:18 PM) You are wrong. Stoney is amazing but Hawk got board with him. However, DJ and Farmer have to be launched. They are awful bad. To be clear, I have nothing against Paciorek, but Hawk always pushes guys out eventually. DJ and Farmer are funny as hell. They kind of suck at describing the game (especially DJ), but they have good chemistry and can be fun to listen to.

QUOTE (59th street @ May 29, 2012 -> 09:14 PM) I truly enjoyed the broadcast the last two nights. Granted the games were great entertainment on their own but I think Paciorek brings out the absolute best in Hawk. Stone adds absolutely nothing to the broadcast and has coasted on his media reputation from his old cub days in my opinion. If Brooks Boyer is listening he would realize that Tom Paciorek is much better than Ed Farmer, DJ and Stone. Bring back the Wimperoo. GO GO WHITE SOX! Stone is a professional analyst. He does a good job, but he's not a great pair with Hawk. They're different personalities. Wimpy doesn't do a bad job per se, but It appears that he and Hawk are just more comfortable together.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 29, 2012 -> 09:10 PM) I said move Boozer TO SF. That my friend, was ungreen sarcasm. Oops. My bad. But still, my question remains. Who can we get for Boozer that has a similar contract, but is a semi-productive SF?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 29, 2012 -> 08:54 PM) 804 OPS On pace for a .280 average, 36 homers and 88 RBI's (and that's not considering the fact that he sat quite a few times in April and early May, so his overall numbers COULD be even higher with everyday playing time from here on out). 3 months of el perfecto Cubano weather, too. He didn't play in 4 games. He just needs to walk some more.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 29, 2012 -> 09:08 PM) Minnesota still scares me Remember when the Astros were 15-30 and went on to win 88 games in 2005? Yeah...

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 29, 2012 -> 05:38 PM) It's simple, we move Boozer to SF. Who though? Easier said than done. I'd like Igudola, but that ain't happening. No way Philly takes on Boozer with Brand. Besides, I think they know how bad Boozer is in some aspects of the game.

The most fun I've had outside of 05 was that incredible streak in 2010. Now that was fun. This one feels a lot like that one.

HE GAWN! OVA! 7 in a row! Series win against a good team! First place too!

Will Hawk stop with the "haven't overthrown the cut off man" crap? I'm pretty sure we must have had a bad throw to the cut off man at least once.

lol Lobaton. You don't run on Tank's arm.
