QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 03:44 PM) Why's it have to be black? I hear all markets in Venezuela are black. FanGraphs article addressing the Juan Pierre situation: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/why-juan-pierre/ Nothing we haven't talked about before.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 03:44 PM) So the Bucks now have Udrih, Livingston, Jennings, Boykins, and Dooling. Makes the TWolves and mid-2000's Knicks looks like they lack PG's. They're probably going to trade one of them. Or two.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 03:40 PM) The picture that Sqwert posted isn't working for me, but I'm going to go ahead and hope he didn't make this exact same joke. IS.IT.RACIST?! Ozzie would most likely end up in some gang given his "street smarts". Or maybe he'll end up selling products on the black market.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 03:38 PM) I'm not really getting this trade from SAC's perspective. They give up Udrih, get Salmons. They give up 7, get 10. WTF. Salmons is still a solid player.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 03:35 PM) I actually like that deal a lot for the Bucks. Not too bad. Although Stephen Jackson will drive Skiles mad.

I wonder what the Kings get for the 7th pick.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 03:23 PM) Yup. I just watched the one where they try to catch her cheating BF in the act of, well, cheating. God that girl is going to be breathtaking when she's 21. The only current Nick show I can watch is Victorious. Ariana Grande and Victoria Justice =

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 03:21 PM) Hopefully this throws them off their game for the Sox series.... Also, I hope they don't hire Dave Martinez, I want him to manage the Sox next year. Hire Sandberg or Valentine! If Dave Martinez manages like Joe Maddon, I'd love to have him as the Sox manager.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 03:21 PM) Look no further than the Sox manager. Ozzie would be selling drugs in the streets of Caracas.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 03:20 PM) WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski Milwaukee has a three-way deal with Charlotte and Sacramento, sources say. Stephen Jackson is going to Milwaukee.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 03:18 PM) What the? Team is hotter than Miranda Cosgrove. Just got their star 3B back. A future as bright as any team in the game. And he resigns? Something must be seriously wrong in his personal life. Your infatuation with her baffles me. Do you watch iCarly every week to get your fix?

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 03:19 PM) 2nd time in a month the Sox are gonna play a team with a new manager that was fired/resigned right before the series.... I wonder if that's some kind of record haha It worked well the first time around. I'll take 2 of 3 again.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 03:15 PM) Ah, sounds like Riggleman was pissed, gave Rizzo an ultimatum to pick up his option by the end of today's game, and walked. Rizzo is a tool. I've actually met his son. He goes to UIUC too. I only met him once, so I didn't get a chance to talk about the whole Adam Dunn thing last year.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) Just goes to show you the consensus when it comes to how this draft is viewed. Easily the weakest since 2000. Beasley could also be in the deal.

Jim Riggleman just resigned as Nats manager. Makes no sense, but hey, good timing!

Maybe to the Spurs?

The Wolves could trade the 2 pick for Josh Smith. Interesting...

I'm listening to Cowley on the score and he basically just called Gavin Floyd stupid (said he needs a lot of help to do cross-word puzzles, if he couldn't pitch, he'd be taking orders at Windy's).

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 02:46 PM) Perhaps he lost his bag of steroids and Carlos Peña found it? ::runs and hides:: Pena must have shared it with Konerko too.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 02:38 PM) Since everyone loves to talk about how horribly managed the team is, and how they're all overpaid underachieves, I figured a positive thread would be nice. The bullpen has been a lot better recently. For instance, last night combined, the pen threw 3 2/3 with 3 H, 0 BB, and 6 K. Obviously no runs allowed. The previous evening, 3 2/3 again, 5K, 0 BB, 2H, 0 R. The night before that, 4 IP, 2H, 4K, 0 R, 0 BB. Last game in ARI, 1.1, 0H, 0R, 2 K. 2nd game in ARI, 2 IP, 1H, 1L, 0 BB, 0 R. 1st game in ARI, 1.1 IP, 1H, 1 BB, 3 K, 0 R. In fact, the last time the bullpen gave up a run was when Santos gave up a run in his 5-4 SV vs Oakland in the series finale. Crain, Thornton, Santos have been money in the late innings. Crain is getting his slider over for strikes, Thornton has his 97 mph fastball back and painting the corners, and Santos is realizing he has incredible stuff and his pitch sequences have been devastating. Sale's been better as of late too.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 02:32 PM) Wouldnt trade Noah for Melo, Bosh, etc, but now will trade for Ellis. That seems to be inconsistent. Now maybe if the Lakers are moving Gasol for the 2 and giving that to the Bulls as well, then the Bulls could draft kanter and have what would be referred as the Turkish Towers, plus getting Ellis. I just dont think Ellis for Noah is a great return on investment. I like how ROI has become a very common term on this forum since that thread about Rongey and Juan Pierre's ROI. But yeah, I don't like Noah for Ellis.

Damn fathom, 17-32?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 02:21 PM) Howard (a man can dream, cant he?) Now that I think about, what I just posted made no sense. If a trade like that were to happen, the Bulls would definitely get Ellis. Odom goes to GSW to play the 3. The problem is that the Bulls were reluctant to move Noah for Carmello before, why change that stance for Monta Ellis?

There's a GSW, Lakers, Bulls trade rumor flying around. It would involve Noah, Odom, Ellis, and some draft picks. I don't know anymore specifics, but what might have been discussed is the Bulls getting Odom and the draft pick, which they can trade for a SG. Question is, who the hell plays C?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 11:23 AM) So he's Korver? I don't think he's really a 3 point specialist. Besides, Korver's definitely not clutch after the Miami series.
