QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 26, 2010 -> 07:20 PM) I would bet that MLB 11 The Show would have Ebbetts Field, Pre-1977 Yankee Stadium, Comiskey, Astrodome, Municipal Stadium, Jarry Park, County Stadium, Fulton-County Stadium, Memorial Stadium, Exhibition Stadium, Kingdome, Shea, Arlington Stadium, Tiger Stadium... maybe others. Why some of those weren't included with this years is beyond me. Anyway, went and pre-ordered the Show today. I have a $25 gift card, and if I trade in Devil May Cry 4, Ninja Gaiden Sigma and the original Rock Band, I essentially get the game for the $10 pre-order + tax.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 26, 2010 -> 08:11 AM) It's not the greatest list ever (They have a lot of guys who are gone still listed as Sox, trades don't seem to have registered with them), but come on, you know you want to look at the top 2000 prospects for 2010 Charlie Haeger is listed for us Also, Mitchell starting at AA is aggressive, but lets hope it works out.

Sorry San Deigo, but Gordon's staying put.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 26, 2010 -> 01:52 PM) We wouldn't have Derrick Rose if we had LaMarcus. He alone probably gives us a couple more wins from that 08 season. (unless Skiles and Boylan dick around with him as well, then in case I'm wrong) I'm quite satisfied personally. Yea, at the time, it was an incredibly stupid trade, but the Bulls have been very lucky to get Rose, which sets them up a for a good future, so far, its looking better. Edit: Secret to Tyrus's success now? The headband.

I voted Golf, WNBA, and meant to click 16"softball but forgot too. The rest are just...eh.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 11:42 PM) Eh, the last thing they need is another scorer with Randolph, Gay and Mayo all putting up 18+ (okay, 17.9 for Mayo), plus the team as a whole is scoring 102. Their defense is the issue. They really could have used a good passing PG that can defend (Rubio was the best fit, though he's probably not a plus defender) or a good defensive center that isn't a huge liability on the other end, which they were hoping was Thabeet. This was a terrible draft in which to pick second, especially given their needs. Well, they were probably taking a good long look at Taj They probably would have been safest off trading that pick in all seriousness.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 10:15 PM) Is he starting in A+, or do you guys think AA? I think AA is where he will start, and if not, he will be there before the summer. If he's in AA, then he's taking the Gordon Beckham/Dan Hudson Quick Route to the Majors.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 10:48 PM) You didn't like the #2 selection of a tall guy with very few offensive skills outside of jumping? I didn't even like him at UConn. I really didn't understand anything, especially why the Grizzlies picked into the hype of a really tall guy. Had they drafted Evans, well, that would have been a scary team.

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.

AVG - Beckham - .320 HR - Quentin - 38 HR RBI - Quentin - 107 RBI SB - Pierre - 47 SB Wins - Peavy - 19W K's - Peavy - 206 K's 2B - Beckham - 45 2B's 3B - Teahen - 6 3B's BB - Quentin - 68 BB's HBP - Quentin - 10 HBP's Hits - Beckham - 203 H's Saves - Jenks - 38 SV's Holds - Thornton - 35 Holds Ejections - Ozzie -13 I'm an optimist

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.
