QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2008 -> 09:20 PM) Haha, Steroiderosa looked like an idiot diving after catching that ball. That was straight out of the Jim Edmonds school of unnecessarily diving for a ball making a catch look more difficult than it really was.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 12:05 PM) Here's something else to chew on - Johan Santana is the same age as Buehrle and has 12 less wins. Even if he wins 20 games per season over the next 7 seasons, he's STILL short of 250. In fact, there aren't many active starting pitchers around Buehrle's age that have comparable win/ERA totals. http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/W_active.shtml notables: 1. Greg Maddux (42) 350 wins - hall of famer 2. Tom Glavine* (42) 305 wins - hall of famer 3. Randy Johnson* (44) 290 wins - hall of famer 4. Mike Mussina (39) 261 wins - probably a hall of famer 5. Jamie Moyer* (45) 238 wins - no 6. Kenny Rogers* (43) 216 wins - maybe in the country music hall of fame Curt Schilling (41) 216 wins - wow is this enough wins? I would've thought he had more. 8. Pedro Martinez (36) 212 wins - too injury prone to end up with enough wins? 9. Andy Pettitte* (36) 211 wins - no 10. John Smoltz (41) 210 wins - yes, because of his saves too 11. Tim Wakefield (41) 174 wins - no 12. Bartolo Colon (35) 150 wins - ha 13. Aaron Sele (38) 148 wins - no 14. Tim Hudson (32) 144 wins - potentially 15. Livan Hernandez (33) 143 wins - no Steve Trachsel (37) 143 wins - hell no 17. Kevin Millwood (33) 139 wins - no 18. Tom Gordon (40) 138 wins - no 19. Woody Williams (41) 132 wins - no 20. Jon Lieber (38) 131 wins - no 21. Jason Schmidt (35) 128 wins - no 22. Esteban Loaiza (36) 126 wins - no 23. Hideo Nomo (39) 123 wins - no Jeff Suppan (33) 123 wins - no, but who knew he had this many wins 25. Roy Halladay (31) 122 wins - potentially yes, if he doesn't get injured Javier Vazquez (31) 122 wins - probably way too inconsistent to last 27. Matt Morris (33) 121 wins - no 28. Derek Lowe (35) 119 wins - no Roy Oswalt (30) 119 wins - potentially yes 30. Freddy Garcia (33) 117 wins - LOLZ Chan Ho Park (35) 117 wins - LOLZ part II Barry Zito* (30) 117 wins - LOLZ part III - apparently 117 is the funny number 33. Mark Buehrle* (29) 113 wins - see above discussion 34. Russ Ortiz (34) 110 wins - no 35. C.C. Sabathia* (27) 108 wins - potentially 36. Mark Mulder* (30) 103 wins - no 37. Kelvim Escobar (32) 101 wins - no Johan Santana* (29) 101 wins - obv has the potential 39. Paul Byrd (37) 100 - no Chris Carpenter (33) 100 - no Shawn Estes* (35) 100 wins - no Jon Garland (28) 100 wins - hmmmm lol 43. Jarrod Washburn* (33) 97 wins - no 44. Darren Oliver* (37) 96 wins - no 45. Brett Tomko (35) 95 wins - no 46. Brad Penny (30) 93 wins - no Jeff Weaver (31) 93 wins - no 48. Carlos Zambrano (27) 92 wins - has the potential 49. Orlando Hernandez (42) 90 wins - no 50. Miguel Batista (37) 88 wins - no 51. Matt Clement (33) 87 wins - no Eric Milton* (32) 87 wins - no Sidney Ponson (31) 87 wins - no 54.

Ted Lilly* (32) 83 wins - no Jake Peavy (27) 83 wins - has the potential So there's your top 60 active leaders, the ones in bold are the potential hall of famers from Buehrle's age range. There's only 11 candidates bolded from the ages of 27-33 Pedro is a stone cold lock for the hall of fame. Best pitcher of this generation. Arguably the best of all time

QUOTE (DBAH0 @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 02:59 PM) I can't see Maggette choosing the Bulls over another team with the MLE. He'd either play for his home town (Orlando), or with a major contender (Boston or San Antonio). But I think the Spurs will get him. Otis Smith wants to re-sign Dooling, and maybe bring is Chris Duhon if they can split those 2 over the MLE. And yeah even if we signed Maggette, our bench would be terrible (unless you played Turk off the bench in a Manu type of role). But SVG plays his starters for 40 mins a game anyways. Maggette is from Chicago

QUOTE (RibbieRubarb @ Jun 27, 2008 -> 08:13 PM) I just got back from seeing WALL-E. Simply astounding!!! Pixar is not making animated films. They are making movies that are beautiful, funny, emotional and thoughtful. The kids in the audience were transfixed! The first part of the movie was like watching a Chaplin film and the kids loved it. No dialouge, just beeps and body language. No hip Zebras, Smart-ass Will Smith-fish or Neurotic Bees making cutsie pop culture references. Just simple, haunting and amazing. This is not just one of the best animated films in recent years, but one of the best FILMS...period. How serious is Pixar on making movies? They hired Roger Deakins, who is the cinematographer for the Coen Brothers, to be the Director of Photogrphay/Visual Consultant for WALL-E. I dare you not to want to hold someone's hand after this film. You'll see why. I thought it was absolutely fantastic as well. I'm interested to see if it can actually get a nomination for Best Picture. I thought it was one of the most creative films I have seen in a long time and the kids in the theater absolutely ate it up. Pixar is just amazing.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 11:02 AM) This has been great to see. I do believe Konerko and Thome in the same lineup magnifies the all or nothing issue they have had all season. I think the offense has been more balanced with Konerko out as well as with the Sox in NL parks and no DH. Considering Konerko's replacements have been Anderson and Wise I don't really see how the offense has been more balanced. It isn't like those guys are getting on base or producing at a great rate. Basically have just replaced Konerko's automatic out thus far this year with Wise or Anderson being an automatic out. Having the top 4 guys in the lineup hit in addition to Alexei and Swish hitting has made the difference, not Konerko being out.

WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 09:06 PM) Arthur added to Oden and Aldridge in the big man rotation, nice. Assuming Oden stays healthy, the rest of the NBA has probably about a two year window before the Portland dynasty begins.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 10:22 PM) The only guy that I don't like on this team is Carmelo. It has more to do with him as a person than his play. I'm not sure how much Kidd has left, either. Kobe Bryant LeBron James Dwyane Wade Carmelo Anthony Jason Kidd Tayshaun Prince Carlos Boozer Chris Bosh Dwight Howard Chris Paul Michael Redd Deron Williams Story. http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/news?slug...p&type=lgns Carmelo has been absolutely amazing in FIBA play. And as a person, Kobe is a much bigger douchebag than Carmelo.

Yay for swinging at pitches over your head

That strike to Ramirez was ridiculously generous to a pitcher who can't even come close to the strikezone.

What a pathetic call, that was one of the worst calls on a check swing I have ever seen.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2008 -> 01:37 PM) Too bad we can't go first to third like the Flubs. Jose is to blame for that 4 inning disaster; not Ozzie BTW. Really so when a pitcher completely sucks it isn't on the manager to pull him before the game gets out of hand. Conteras was awful and didn't do his job. Neither did Ozzie.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 21, 2008 -> 01:29 PM) It's been that way for 3 straight games. Isn't this around the time when he hit the wall in 2006? He definitely started to struggle in June but it wasn't until after the all star break that he started to suck. And that year his struggles were at least related to an injury.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 21, 2008 -> 01:26 PM) hey sox hitters, this is how you play baseball. Take what they give you! Dont swing for the fences on every pitch *cough* thome, crede, konerko *cough* There isn't a team in MLB that wouldn't have killed Contreras today. His forkball had no life and he couldn't locate anything

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 21, 2008 -> 01:25 PM) You have a terrible in-game manager against one of the best in baseball....it's like we're playing 9 on 10 this weekend. Way to wait until after the Cubs score 8 damn runs to pull him Ozzie. WTF

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 21, 2008 -> 01:21 PM) It might be time for Ozzie to warm up Masset or someone. Danks would of been gone already if he was on the bump. Pull Danks after 85 pitches when he is absolutely dominating. Leave Contreras in when he clearly has nothing to get b**** slapped.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 11:50 AM) - Weber, on the Big Ten race: “The league should be wide open and we can be right in the middle of it. I do know one thing, though. I think Indiana will suck. Don’t put that on the Internet.” Though this may be the case next year for the revamped Hoosiers, I hope we shove it down your whiny throat Bruce. Still can't get over it can you. Yeah, just ignore the context of him saying this at an event for Illinois fans and that he was clearly joking.
