QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 12:17 PM) I agree, but I also think Lilli should be spelling Gordo now and again, especially against good fastball pitchers. It should be easy to find Lilli 3-4 games per week you would think Combine Lilli and Gordon and you have yourself a deadly hitter.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) Not quite sure why anyone's being rough on Crain, he's been pretty low on the list of concerns this year. People don't forget the home runs he gave up to Cabrera and Suzuki to lose games for the team. He's been damn good otherwise, but people don't forget moments like those.

REDEMPTION!

QUOTE (Yoda @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 09:09 PM) Can I admit and say that not one guy in our bullpen really has the "stuff" to make the other team think "we're screwed"? It was Santos before he started melting down recently.

Here we are again... Sizemore up.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 09:05 PM) So because of the screw up last night our closer isn't closing tonight? He threw way too many pitches.

I'm expecting a crainwreck.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 11:42 AM) Depends what it would take, I don't think adding Ellis and losing Deng makes us any better, so if that was just the trade a definite no. Even though our back court would be undersized it would give us the true 2nd scoring option though and ball handler, also SG's in the NBA seemingly are becoming moreso 6'3 than 6'6 on avg anyways. Plus, Ellis doesn't have to be on the court with Rose at all times or anything. He can run more with the second team. This way, you even out the minutes between the two a lot more. I'm fine with anything not dealing Deng, Rose, or Noah for Ellis. If it's one of those, no deal for me. Unless they throw a Dorell Wright back with Ellis or something (doubt it).

Now you go to the bullpen Ozzie? Jesus Christ...

To be totally honest, Santos should have never pitched in this game. The Sox should have scored some damn insurance runs. They had a lot of chances to.

Santos has been really bad lately.

Wow...this is f***ing embarrasing.

Jesus Christ is nobody up in the bullpen?

Take him out, please!

I've seen this movie before.

f*** me. It's Suzuki. We're gonna lose this one.

Oh great... Santos just hasn't had it lately.

That was a really bad read by Rios.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 03:14 PM) Mauer to rejoin Twins as early as Tuesday. Opponent? White Sox. Here comes the comeback train.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 07:07 PM) Give me Lance Berkman. That's been easily the best signing of the year to this point. That was such a WTF signing too. It was like, so you want a guy who hasn't played the outfield in 5 years to play there again? Not to mention the fact he came off a really bad season (for his standards).

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 02:39 PM) Im pretty sure there is a moratorium on trades anyway, so if there is any talk it would have to be pretty limited, especially with the CBA. I could see the Bulls doing a deal where they give up Boozer + picks for Ellis. Some rumors say Golden State would be interested in Nene, so maybe you can convince them that Boozer+ picks would be a great deal! I don't think they want Boozer. They have David Lee already.

FanGraphs did a study on the biggest rivalry in baseball based on Google results (flawed, but something). http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/w...es-in-baseball/ Apparently, White Sox-Tigers is the 7th best rivalry in baseball, followed by Sox-Cubs and Sox-Twins. You'd think it's the other way around.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 02:26 PM) Rather than having an "uck no" reaction, my reaction is to ask "What would the Bulls do about the SF spot?" Clearly, unless you want Ellis guarding James, that move only works in tandem with another. Chicago's finest brew. Or maybe go out and sign somebody. I don't know. I don't like the deal at all. You lose more defense than you gain on offense. Ellis is not a very efficient scorer, so I don't see it helping the team.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 02:21 PM) Ugh. God no. Thibs will never allow it to happen.
