The Twins only looked good in 2 innings last night and most of that was Gavin Floyd's fault. In other words, they still suck and they're still like 15 under .500. Win the next 2!

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 23, 2012 -> 08:32 AM) Well Jesus cost us a few runs in the field yesterday, unfortunately. I hope he is better out there tonight. I thought Dunn should have played first to begin with. Let Paulie DH a few nights, he was obviously not 100% out in the field (especially on that Casilla "double").

Man, we're just bailing P.J. Walters out. He's pitched mediocre at best yet he's only given up a run.

Scott Diamond, the guy going tomorrow, has been very good so far. Let's hope Sale's better tomorrow so we can have a chance of winning this series.

Pitch selection was absolutely awful tonight. Why the hell would you throw Willingham three consecutive sliders down and low when he was never going to swing at them? Floyd didn't have it tonight (for the most part, he looked good for an inning), but his lack of command wasn't the only thing that made him this bad.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 22, 2012 -> 03:38 PM) Let me break it down greg. The fact that Oswaldo José Guillén Barrios had another job offer mid-season, while he was managing a team, means one thing. He was talking to another team during the season, which is kind of against MLB rules (that's why we got Marinez and Martinez). He used that to try and extort more money out of Reinsdorf, despite failing with massively talented rosters that were often picked to win the division. Some were even built to his exact specifications (rotating DH bulls***). Knowing he wasn't getting a raise, Ozzie wanted to leave, so he upstaged Mark Buehrle's final start as a White Sox pitcher by asking for a release. To get released with a year left on his contract, that means he had to knowingly tank the team. Ozzie Guillen knowingly made bad move after bad move to destroy the White Sox record last year so he could go get more money in South Beach because he is a greedy son of a b**** who's ego enabled him to let his children destroy this franchises infrastructure. If the GM had just been allowed to do his job and the manager just done his without letting his ego get in the way, the White Sox would have a few more AL Central titles under they're belt right now. And Coop is the one with ego problems? Get that bulls*** out of here. I applaud you.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 22, 2012 -> 04:57 PM) I agree....I have seen the other 60-70 guys that do this job and I can tell you most of them suck ass... One of my personal favorites is Jim Palmer. Mark Grace does a nice job for the DBacks. Don Orsillo is good on Nesn. Of course I love Vin Scully. Ray Fosse is excellent in Oakland, and Glen Kuiper, their pbp man is pretty solid too. Other than that there aren't a whole lot of guys I can tolerate, whether they are color guys or pbp. Some especially awful guys? Dick Bremer on the Twins broadcast, Rick Manning in Cleveland (talk about a dick), Buck Martinez in Toronto, Gary Thorne in Baltimore, Mark Gubicza and Victor Rojas in Anaheim. What's so bad about Gary Thorne?

The new Galaxy S III is also $800 without a contract. I wouldn't even pay $800 for a computer.

I wonder how PK's eye looks.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 22, 2012 -> 04:09 PM) Lawrence Holmes O.o. No.

I tried the new S-Voice app (Siri-like app by Samsung) that comes with the new Galaxy S III today. Surprisingly, it works pretty well. It leaked the other day and you'll have to do some modifications to your phone (you need root) to run it properly.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 22, 2012 -> 01:51 PM) Adrian Gonzalez will start in RF today to try to solve the Red Sox's outfield woes, while getting Youkilis in the lineup (1B) and keeping Middlebrooks in the lineup (3B). Lol, that'll work out great.

I would love a new play by play man who can bring excitement without horrible catch phrases and mad homerism. I used to really like Hawk when I was younger, but he's nothing more than a grumpy old guy to me at this point. I guess the question is, who would you replace him with?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 22, 2012 -> 01:41 PM) Why is that vintage? People have mocked my style of posting before. I really don't care about numbers much. I do wish we had a third baseman with more pop than Hudson/Morel. It is true that Hudson isn't the answer. He's just another KW favorite we finally picked up. Are there any still out there? Teahen worked really well. I think we should have just given Lilly a chance to play every day. Hudson is blah. Look at his post and then look at yours.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 22, 2012 -> 12:13 PM) Marquis DFA today. So unfortunately the sox dont get to face an ex cub with a 8.47 ERA The Sox would have sucked against him.

Walters loves giving up home runs. He's given up 4 though only 12 innings.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 22, 2012 -> 07:09 AM) That Giancarlo kid can really hit a baseball hard....wow That ball was a 462 foot line drive. God damn.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 22, 2012 -> 10:21 AM) So Brett Lawrie is all the way down to a .690 OPS? Man, I figured he would flat-out rake all season. He doesn't walk.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 22, 2012 -> 10:40 AM) this is a disgrace. Ozzie won a world series as manager. what did orlando hudson ever do? I hope Orlando Hudson blows up in kennys face. He is not an allstar player and he cant where that jersey number. kenny is disrespecting Ozzie here. that number should be retired. I just don t see why hudson has to wear Ozzies number. Vintage.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 22, 2012 -> 10:36 AM) Greg would s*** himself if O-Dawg wore 13. Yeah, Greg would go bats*** crazy and talk about how Hudson can never fill Ozzie's shoes.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 22, 2012 -> 08:29 AM) Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi BREAKING: #Angels outfielder Vernon Wells will miss 8-10 weeks due to surgery on ulnar collateral ligament in right thumb tomorrow. Looks like that crowded OF got a lot less crowded. Borujos and Trout in the OF? Holy s*** defense.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 22, 2012 -> 10:34 AM) SO THE BIG QUESTION IS DOES F*CK YOU DO ME GIVE O-DAWG THE #1? Probably not. I'm betting Hudson will be wearing 13. He's worn 1, 13, and 30 before. 1 and 30 are already taken.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 21, 2012 -> 02:43 PM) Probably not the right thread for this, but did anyone catch Sveum's postgame conference yesterday? He said something to the effect of "We were getting it together for a week, and then this last week...we haven't won a game...and then we get swept by the White Sox at home...I mean how much lower can it get than that?" I found that to be mildly offensive, honestly. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he was just referring to it being a rivalry and the team was disappointed to get swept by their cross-town mates...but it sure sounded as though he was saying we sucked to me... He's the manager of the Cubs. How much lower can that get?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 21, 2012 -> 07:33 AM) So... The Avengers was really just OK. Had some funny moments, some decent action, the 2nd easter egg was funny. But the writing was just incredibly clunky. I was expecting much better wit and dialogue from a Joss Wheadon production. It wasn't bad or anything, just... OK. You have high standards my friend.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 21, 2012 -> 02:13 PM) Yeah, this is my wife. This means she's a woman. This means the last thing she wants is to have her device hacked. Trust me, my Nook Tablet has been hacked since day 3. It's awesome - completely open, yet still works and looks like a NT. Haha, oh yeah, I didn't think about that.
