QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 15, 2012 -> 01:58 PM) da....DA ...am I doing it right? Who made that up? It make absolutely no sense. Way worse than Hot Fire...or Cold Ice.

Patience A.J., patience

Anybody want to do play by play? None of the live scoreboards update at work for some weird reason.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 15, 2012 -> 11:28 AM) http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...ieldingadvanced You'd think if De Aza was THAT bad, his UZR would be suffering from those misplays. De Aza's not bad at all. He has his misplays (like last night), but he has very good range for a CFer. Putting him in a corner would be a waste of his speed.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 15, 2012 -> 09:47 AM) His stats show regression despite playing with the best distributor in the NBA. His game says he really can't score with anyone between him and the basket, and his shooting is horrendous. Blake Griffin is not even close to an NBA superstar. I don't see any real regression at all, in fact, his offensive game actually improved from an efficiency standpoint. He shot better this year (5% better in fact) and was more efficient on the offensive end. All of this makes sense since he had Chris Paul. Unless you were expecting him to be a top 5 MVP contender, I don't see how he regressed this year at all.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ May 15, 2012 -> 10:04 AM) Maybe home opener. Yeah, that's what I meant.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 15, 2012 -> 09:41 AM) So we're calling Blake Griffin a superstar now? Those Kia ads have paid off for him, eh? His stats say yes. Watching him play though, not really. I was just trying to make a point that Vinny still sucks at everything he does.

Just get back to .500 please. Oh and this is an opening day rematch, for those who did not notice.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 15, 2012 -> 12:49 AM) I turned this off when Danks left. Quite a nice surprise to see a win. Danks is garbage right now. He's not fooling anybody with anything. His velocity is down a 1.5 MPH across the board. Something's not right with him.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 15, 2012 -> 09:35 AM) Dude got handed Rose and couldnt figure him out. I love the "History speaks for itself" comment about the Clippers. Apparently he never heard about how Sterling abused Elgin Baylor I don't know why he's feeling like he's the s*** after he BARELY got by the Grizzlies with a team that had two super stars.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 15, 2012 -> 09:16 AM) I guarantee you Albert will hit at least one home run and drive four tomorrow and Wednesday. It looks like sluggers going from NL to AL over the past year has been very wacky. Dunn hit .160, Pujols looks like he might do something similar. Prince Fielder is hitting okay, but he has almost no power (I believe he has like 10 extra base hits this year). A-Gon was great last year, but is suffering from lack of power as well.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 15, 2012 -> 08:26 AM) Surprised Ryan Raburn isn't in that spot He should be, but he doesn't have enough at bats and his defense has actually been okay (unlike Boesch). Raburn has a 11 wRC+, 89% below league average. Pujols is at 34, Boesch is at 67.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 10, 2012 -> 08:52 PM) The foul not being called on Watson was a good thing, it should have let him dribble another 4-5 seconds before they could foul him. He just did the dumbest thing, gave the ball to Asik in a situation where the other team wants to foul. f*** you Watson, f*** you. He could have dribbled for like 2-3 more seconds had he just pulled up. Ugh.

f***ing Spencer Hawes. That foul on Asik should have been a flagrant. He got him right around the neck.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ May 10, 2012 -> 05:51 PM) I was born in miami and now i live in chicago. The sox are my second favorite team. I like this forum because of greg and i also love watching balta and ss2k fight each other.

Boozer comes up playing like s*** when it matters, once again...

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 9, 2012 -> 09:36 PM) I'm not crazy about Jones' Keith Foulke-like delivery. Why does he pitch that way? Jesse Crain's got a similar style (more similar than Jones' in fact), why aren't you complaining about him?

Jake Peavy is straight up awesome.

Bryan LaHair has a .500 BABIP. Yes, 50% of the balls he hits in play go for hits. That's unsustainable and incredibly interesting.

I just wanted to point out that Alejandro De Aza has a .375 OBP. He's been quite the leadoff hitter.

Rain rain go away. I need Peavy to throw some more innings.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 6, 2012 -> 03:23 PM) In hindsight, J4L is right, Bulls would have been much better off acquiring Mayo. Asik will never develop offensively. I sure as hell didn't expect anything from him on offense. I just thought he'd progress even more defensively, which he hasn't.

I started watching the game a bit before Boozer got mugged and no call happened. The officiating sucked. Philly was basically looking to get to the line because they knew they'd get homecourt calls. Holliday barely got touched on his "foul" by Korver and Deng, he just made it look like there was contact. Igudola jumped into Asik and Asik got called for a foul when he stood his ground perfectly. Home teams do get an advantage in officiating, but those calls were so blatantly bad.
