Quin

Hmm, Hasheem Thabeet sent to D-League. That was such a bad pick, I'll never understand his predraft hype.

Ok ESPN, we get it, Ozzie has a twitter.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 12:20 AM) Deng had a "quiet" 31 points. At least for this game, he looks like he "gets it." Shoot the open shot when DRose (or whomever) passes you the ball (assist for him, 2-3 points for you) and drive when you need to. And I'm sick of VDN now dicking around Noah. If he's only playing 6 minutes a game, (especially when he wants more playing time) then just sit him out and have him rest the foot. (not to mention VDN is costing him the most improved player award with Noah's stats drastically dropping now) I love when a reporter asked why Noah played 6 minutes Vinny said "uh" about 4 times trying to create an excuse. (not to mention putting the starters back in, taking some PT away from guys like JJ, a minute left up by 10) I can't agree more with that. Noah fell from #2 rebounder to #4.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 10:35 PM) You're mistaken, it has to be the pitcher. Dang it, I was thinking of most amateur rules. My bad.

I think we need to start considering pitchers hitting when it comes to HoF. Which is a horrible idea, but no one even takes a major statistical category into account when considering how great a pitcher is. Why do they get a free pass for sucking so much? If pitchers could hit, I'd be fine with no DH, but they can't, and some of the best hitters can't field...seems like a fair trade off. Also, I like having a playing style difference between the two leagues. Also, if I'm not mistaken...the DH can replace anyone in the lineup...not just the pitchers.

Good win by the Bulls, at least their beating the crap now.

So, just found out a spam account was using my e-mail. Darn it.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 05:06 PM) Uh-oh. Look at how many balls got by Nix. QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 05:07 PM) not a good showing for Nix defensively today... QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 05:13 PM) Suck it, UZR. He failed the eye test. :lolhitting :lolhitting Those made my day.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 12:50 AM) :lolhitting For a guy who has not played a single game for us, Teahen is quickly becomming one of my favorite sox players already. I'm loving this guy. Ozzie better invite him to the BBQ

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 11:36 PM) I still don't know how they did that.

Good article on Joe Alexander. I really liked him in college, hope he turns it around. http://blogs.bulls.com/chicago_bulls_blog/...s-way-back.html

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 10:20 PM) Looking at PitchFX data; Poreda threw 13 fastballs in that game (no runners reached base on him so I assume they were all from the windup), the average velocity on his fastball was 92.35 MPH with a max speed of 93.6. For reference: Jenks and Thornton were both clocked at about 95/96 (avg/max) in that same game. Eh, I was going by eye, because most people were gone at that point so I went and sat around the plate. Maybe the Dodgers were just tired by that point.

I think we're the one place that still puts Viciedo over Morel at this point. Also, I'd like to see Shelby succeed, since I think he still can.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 06:48 PM) If you want the "group think" positivism, you might prefer other Sox message boards, IMO. Trust me, that's worse than anything you see here. At least this site isn't NEARLY as filtered or controlling of its posters, as long as they stay fairly civil and back up their arguments with substance and not just personal attacks. This is easily the most civil forum I've ever been part of, probably because most people act smart, but theres zero tolerance for flaming.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 06:55 PM) I recall how excited we were for the vaunted Poreda fastball. He averaged, what? 93, at the big league level? At the Dodgers 13 inning game, he was overpowering the Dodgers players. If they trade for Gonzalez, I'd try and include some throw ins to get Poreda back. I think he could be a good lefty out the pen.

This ranks as one of the greatest moments in Sox history.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 10:54 AM) The Show dude, the Show... MAG is very generic. Yea, I got The Show, MAG, and Heavy Rain all on my list. I think the Show is gonna win.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) Its on the same scale as a new stadium ground-up, I've seen the numbers in various articles. The Cubs are already planning piece-by-piece renovations of the stadium, over time. When they get to a point where even that won't do, they'll spend 1 season milling around The Cell and other stadiums in the area, and then get the new one in Wrigleyville the next spring. You know me Balta, I'm usually a shades-of-grey analyst, but on this one I am 100% sure the Cubs will not leave Wrigleyville, unless that neighborhood turns into a war zone. Ugh...the Cubs playing home games at the Cell sickens me. But hey, if it means they lose Wrigley (I think it'd be in the next 15 years) then I'm for it... But I agree, they won't ever leave Wrigleyville.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 02:57 PM) If Mark decides to play past 2011, it probably won't be for us. Doesn't Pujols become a free agent then? They won't have money for Buehrle in St. Louis.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 22, 2010 -> 10:40 PM) They'll be better with Noah 100 percent (if that happens this season) but it's hard for a mediocre, .500 team to win 5 games in a row, including 3 on the road. Even if all 5 games are against crappy teams. Yet they won five on the road against good teams. These Bulls are confusing.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 22, 2010 -> 11:22 PM) I think she knows both but doesn't really think about it at the time. Which is why I need to make examples of it, so that next time she goes to do something like that, she will remember "hmm, last time this turned into an argument," and think better of it. Anyways, she called me tonight and did seem somewhat remorseful, of course, that could be because her car is jacked up and she wants my help. Who knows. Women. Funny. That's a saying my friends and I have been saying for the past week.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 12:06 AM) I think when you're talking about a player the caliber of AGon and with his current contract, he's going to attract a lot of suitors who don't simply fall into the "need a better 1b/DH" club. There will be teams that recognize a tremendous opportunity and will seek to take advantage of that. Gonzalez attracts everyone pretty much. It just seems like the Sox and Sawks would covet him the most and be willing to pay the highest price.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 22, 2010 -> 11:55 PM) Awesome. Sounds like we will score 1000 runs this year. Pff. Only 1000? Try 2000

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 22, 2010 -> 11:25 PM) I don't think that is necessarily true. Keep in mind that the sense of urgency is much less from the suitors at this point in time. So while there are more suitors now, the quality of offers might increase towards the break when the sense of urgency increases. It could also make some teams, like the Sox, agree to higher price tags.
