Back to back b****es! 3 HR for Dunn off lefties now.

Golden boy!

Fuku...woooo!

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 20, 2012 -> 01:30 PM) How was that not a strike? This ump is annoying and its only the first inning. He called Buerhle's perfect game and no hitter.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 20, 2012 -> 12:27 AM) I am pleased with ADA Don't know why you should trade for someone that may be ADA, when you have ADA There's also nothing wrong with having 2 Alejandro De Aza type players, haha. Especially one that can play CFer like SpiderMan.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 20, 2012 -> 12:19 AM) Spurs / Thunder Who do you pick? OKC is the popular pick, obviously. But I think San Antonio can give them a tough series. I'd say OKC in 6 or 7.

Oh great, another soft-tossing left hander. I hope Jake's on tomorrow, because our offense might struggle a bit.

KD just wiped LA's dreams of winning this series.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 19, 2012 -> 11:28 PM) I feel like there are lots of guys that have done everything right, except hit. We have several of them on our roster. That doesn't mean you only buy high on prospects, but I don't feel that's a great argument. I also feel like you are saying his ceiling is Alejandro De Aza. His ceiling offensively probably is Alejandro De Aza. Hey, there's nothing wrong with putting up a .800 OPS as a CFer, especially if you have the defensive skills of Bourjos.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ May 19, 2012 -> 10:05 PM) Where is all this Zack Stewart hate coming from? Dude had a 2.21 ERA before today. He had a 7-0 lead so he threw only strikes. He made the "White Sox Winner" thread last week and essentially won us a game against a division rival. Listen to Balta. Stewart's actually been decent this year. His ERA shows that he's been a bit lucky, but his peripherals aren't bad. Of course, this game won't help his ERA or his FIP, but I can see why people think he's bad.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 19, 2012 -> 09:28 PM) Looking forward to the sweep tomorrow. I have a feeling we're going to see good Jake Peavy...he should be nice and fired up vs. a s*** line-up. I'm just hoping he won't do something stupid and get tossed early. Or worse, get into a bean ball war and get plunked while hitting. The last thing we need is Peavy getting hurt in any way.

Good thing we didn't need to bring anyone else in.

Man Zach Stewart sucks.

Yeesh, Lilli's reverted back to pre-2011 form.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 19, 2012 -> 08:02 PM) It's so nice we got the Cubs crew. Brennaman kept getting his facts wrong. He gave the wrong count like three times and thought Karros played with Ventura when Karros had retired already.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 19, 2012 -> 08:00 PM) poor Viciedo. he keeps getting shown nationally as Wood's last strikeout victim He's also killing the ball. I say who cares?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 19, 2012 -> 05:24 PM) One day after giving up Twitter, Ozzie Guillen rips Dwyane Wade. Hey, I can finally agree with Ozzie on something.

My god, Hudson's been awful this year. But not as awful as Brent Morel...haha.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 18, 2012 -> 11:26 PM) Serious question: Is Oz a candidate for manager of the year? Three over .500 and right there. Is you serious? Let me get this straight... The Marlins, who were supposed to be good, get off to a horrible start (just like when he managed the Sox and he also get suspended for 5 games for running his mouth). Then their good players finally start playing like they're supposed to again. And now that they're only 3 above .500 and in like 4th place, you think Ozzie should get consideration for manager of the year? It's May Greg, awards aren't won in May. And 3 games above .500 for a team that some deemed good enough to win 90 games is underachieving.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 18, 2012 -> 09:52 PM) Honestly I had zero issue with how it went down today, I thought it was appropriate and fitting. The guy was a pretty good pitcher when healthy, injuries killed him, he was a fan favorite, and some good memories there. Having him take his last pitches and get his last time in the sun was fine. It wasn't something over the top like a pregame ceremony or anything. Average due to overall results, sure. But I heard something today that he has the highest k/9 besides Randy Johnson in history. Not sure if that's correct, but that's not average. We all know how it played out. But saying "average pitcher" is a bit false. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=...=0&sort=8,d He has the third most for a starting pitcher, with Mark Prior being second given FanGraphs' definition of qualified. I guess it depends on what you say is "qualified". If qualification means 1000 innings, then yeah, Wood is second. If it's 2000, he's not.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 18, 2012 -> 06:46 PM) The outpouring of love for this guy is crazy to me. All for a very average pitcher. When Wood was healthy, he was a 3-4 win pitcher. So yeah, I'd say he's a little better than average.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 18, 2012 -> 11:53 AM) I want to reiterate that I am ridiculously excited to see Prometheus. That is all. I read somebody's plot preview from a screening. It was fairly detailed. I sort of want to see it, but I'm not sure I want to stay for all the weird s*** that will be in it.

For the sake of the Sox and my fantasy baseball team, please come back soon Paulie.

Woo, three more outs!

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 18, 2012 -> 03:38 PM) He did more for the Sox (more wins, World Series) than Wood for the Cubs. Half the pitcher, infinitely better achievements. Win.
