QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 27, 2010 -> 11:34 AM) Charlotte pretty much did just that. Yeah and Charlotte wasn't a very good franchise before this year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 27, 2010 -> 11:25 AM) The reason Jordan isn't around is because he wanted someone to give him a team to run. The Bulls wisely weren't going to do that. Who would? Unless the team is going down the trash, nobody's willing to hand anything over.

Split would be alright with me, although 3/4 would really be what this team needs. It sucks that Buehrle's not going in this series.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 27, 2010 -> 10:58 AM) His numbers in RF are excellent, but as a CF, fangraphs counts him as average. You still can't ignore the combined UZR of +24 over the past two years though. Regardless of where it's at. Plus, he'd fit in real well in LF for this team right now.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ May 26, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) And suddenly this series got very interesting again. Pressure is ALL is on Boston for Game 6. And they've got a lot of injury problems right now, Rondo's clearly playing hurt, Davis had a bad concussion, and Wallace looked pretty tight with his back before he fouled out. If Rondo can't get back to 100% I actually think we've got a real good opportunity to win games 6 and 7. I feel sorry for Perkins though, those 2 technicals were absolite BS, but as a Magic fan safe to say I was pretty happy to see him go. I would love for Boston teams to lose two playoff series after being up 3-0.

Ryan Sweeney is the white Franklin Gutierrez. That's why I don't care if he's an average hitter.

Just heard on the Score that D-Wade says the Bulls aren't loyal and that loyalty is important to him because he's a loyal person. He uses Pippen and Jordan not being around the organization as an excuse. Really Dwyane? Really? Maybe M.J. could have been a little more loyal and not have retired at age 34 and then come back three years later to another team. Maybe you shouldn't call yourself loyal because you're obviously not the cleanest guy around when it comes to marriage.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 26, 2010 -> 04:47 PM) Understatement of the year? Bobby's '09 was by no measure "decent." That is unless you want to compare him to the likes of Kevin Gregg. 3.71 ERA, 1.28 whip for a closer is not good. That's not even getting into the 1.52 HR/9. Other than save percentage, which is becoming a pretty overrated stat to evaluate closers, there isn't anything in Bobby's standard or advanced statistics that points to any kinda turn around. Bobby did have a 3.63 xFIP. But I guess that hasn't been the case so far this season.

Anybody else notice A.J. shoving Mark away with one arm? Thought it was kind of funny.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 26, 2010 -> 04:19 PM) @ Wiki Seriously though, I can never stand Joe West behind the plate, since he called the triple play against the Cubs a few years ago an interference. To sum it up; Mariotti just defended Ozzie on ATH. Paulie, AJ, and Coop all appealed it even, and those guys rarely argue with umps. And the smug look West had on his face...Hawk's right, he deserves a suspension.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ May 26, 2010 -> 02:31 PM) and southpaw is a girl One of my friends says that Southpaw is a girl...

Jesus Christ...

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:44 PM) Stop blaming Ozzie. He got tossed a long time ago. You really don't think that he has some decision in something like this?

I partially blame Ozzie for putting Jenks in in a game where it wasn't even a save situation. Our bullpen is depleted enough and you go and use the closer in a 4 run game? *Sigh...

This s*** is never easy is it?

Why the hell does Jhonny Peralta always seem to kick our ass?

With a 4 run lead, I say you put Santos in here and see what happens.

Maybe now Ozzie will realize that Tony Pena is a damn good relief pitcher... Kenny, please get a left handed guy who can go long so we can get rid of Randy Williams and have Pena in something more significant than long relief.

QUOTE (T R U @ May 26, 2010 -> 12:47 PM) I don't understand how hes been so bad, his numbers don't look that bad.. His last 5 starts, hes not walking people anymore hes getting strikeouts.. hes not really getting hit around that badly and yet there's 6 runs on the board for each of his last two starts.. He really hasn't been walking people since his first 5 starts, its just weird what the problem is.. He's doing his best to control the FIP, but he's not getting much luck. His FIP is currently 4.72 and his xFIP is 4.29. Plus, giving up three home runs isn't going to help your cause...

Hell of a job by Tony Pena there.

Pena's struggling to find the zone.

TMK...hahaha

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 26, 2010 -> 12:32 PM) it was also part of a four game road sweep. when was the last time the Sox have won four in a row anywhere. Not this season.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ May 26, 2010 -> 12:30 PM) So what happened to Buehrle to be out this early?? Joe West literally ripped his left arm off.

Just put him on the 15 day DL and call up Dan Hudson or Carlos Torres. They can't do much worse. Once Peavy's arm is back in full strength, we'll go on from there...
