QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 11:12 PM) PINCH HIT LILLIBRIDGE He's running at second.

The Sox better hit Rodrigo Lopez like Q just did.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 11:06 PM) Yep, is French Caribbean a real thing or did I simple mean Haitian? Isn't Haiti the only former French colony in the Caribbean?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 11:04 PM) He most definitely is Black, but his name suggests he could be Hispanic or French Caribbean, too. Haitian? HE GAWN!

Had our closers not been so damn bad this year, we'd be at least a couple of games over .500.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 11:02 PM) f***ing Ozzie. Matt Thornton's been getting destroyed by righties this year. This is a move I can't disagree on.

Come on Sergio. Be good.

At least we got the run in.

I'm not sure the Bulls want to sign him though. It's good to know signed with the Bulls virtually though.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 04:32 PM) Matt Garza has been probably the unluckiest pitcher in baseball. His peripherals are sick. I expect him to K at least 10 tonight. The unluckiest is Zack Greinke. His ERA is 3 runs higher than his FIP.

There's lots of speculation that the Bulls will take Nolan Smith with the 30th pick. Personally, I'm not a big fan of that pick. I'd rather have Charles Jenkins if you want to go after a combo guard. I really like Justin Harper from Richmond, the guy can shoot and you can stick him at the 3 to backup Deng. Iman Shumpert could slip to 30 as well and he can push Watson as a backup PG. I'd be fine with Harper/Shumpert or Harper/Jenkins, but picking Smith wouldn't be terrible.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 02:19 PM) for some reason I believe we'll win the next 2. also paulie gonna continue his HR streak. The Sox have lost the first game in both of their previous IL series thus far. Of course, then won the next 2 in both of them. I hope the trend continues.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 03:35 PM) What happens if Cleveland takes Williams? Then you know Kahn takes Irving. I think the Williams route might be smarter for the Cavs. Then tehy can go and get a PG with the #4 pick. It probably won't be Irving, but Kemba Walker + Williams might be better than Irving + somebody else.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 03:16 PM) What does that make the team they beat yesterday? A WNBDL team, if that even exists.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) He's a Lynx fan. They're all the same to SS2K5.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 12:35 PM) The Bulls won 62 games this year. This isn't a team that needs a drastic set of changes. They need improvement at 1 starting position. That's not a drastic change. A drastic change is what happened to the post 2007 Bulls. I guess it depends on what we all think is drastic. Dwight Howard would definitely be drastic, but we all know that's a next to impossible possibility this off-season.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 11:55 AM) via @cst_Cowley Hopefully, Forman is lying.

Felix might kill himself if Kahn makes that deal.

http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/21422...nnesota_For_2nd Pacers are offering Hibbert + their 15th pick for the second pick of the draft. They're really going for it. If they do get the pick, they're probably going to pick Williams (assuming he's still there).

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 09:17 AM) But his contract is up this year, he's tall, he plays C, and Dalembert is a free agent. They still have Spencer Hawes. So I'm not sure Kaman would be a necessity. Dalembert didn't even play for Philadelphia last year, so I'm not sure how he fits into all of this.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 08:39 AM) And the problem with Thornton wasn't being moved to the closer's role anyway, it's that he suddenly couldn't strike anyone out. He still struck out 9 per 9. He just couldn't throw enough strikes to be effective.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 07:07 AM) He definitely is the Web Gem champ. I just think Ramirez and Escobar have been the best overall. -5 UZR, -7 DRS. He really is a 2B playing SS. He lacks range, which could be why he gets a bunch of Web Gems. Nothing like making a routine play look difficult.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 07:33 AM) Thanks, dude. There goes one of Quinarvy's dreams. I would've loved to somehow net AI2. He's like the Franklin Gutierrez of the NBA. So gifted defensively that anything he contributes offensively is a bonus. That would've been our LeBron 'stopper.' I doubt the Sixers make that trade. Kaman is horrible.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 12:29 PM) For Hanley Ramirez? Wow. Phil Rogers is seriously baseball stupid.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 10:19 AM) Hopefully Washington can look past players that are proven pedigrees, cause CC, Price, & Lester are not deserving All-Stars this season. Beckett, Weaver, Verlander , Shields, Pineda, & Ogando have all been better than Humber. Like you mentioned, Gonzalez is the only deserving Athletic, Wilson being a Ranger helps his cause as well. Then it would come down to Humber or Haren, Romero, Felix (who hasn't been Cy Felix this year). His odds are pretty slim it appears. Last year they selected 8 starters, then 3 more were added due to injury/ineligibility. Washington's probably too coked up to realize anything.
