  1. What's the issue with what he said? He wrote an article entitled "Vizcaino shut down for the year", which isn't true? People were talking about his tweets, and beat writers don't write the titles of their articles. I also don't see a Sullivan article with such a title on the website. The title apparently changed this morning. It definitely said "Vizcaino shut down for the year", and the article explicitly stated as such as well, so it was definitely Sullivan perpetrating the rumor.

  3. Yes, the typical White Sox broadcast contains only good guys, and the other team may as well not even exist. The White Sox either win easily against a bunch of nobodies, or beat themselves.
  4. Because then they'd become your favorite prospect to watch for and we'd never hear the end of it.
  5. Yeah, looks like I didn't get Walker and Lucroy in on time, even though it was before the first game started.
  6. Wings had 1 SOG in the final 13 minutes of the game.
  7. Yeah, drafting 7 footers really only have about a 10% chance of becoming one of the top 50 players of all time. It's hardly worth the effort, when drafting smaller players has a much better success rate for superstars.
  8. he would have been the best pf of all time instead of the best c? What if he'd been 5'11". Then you've got yourself a superstar. You remember Khalid El-Amin's career very differently than I do. I was thinking for a good comp for a 5'11" Shaq, but was drawing a blank. That's the one, right there.
  9. It's not a bad rule. Really, at that point you're only eliminating 3 of the top 10 players of all time. Probably.
  10. @TheFakeESPN: Brian Urlacher retires from NFL as Brett Favre's all-time leading receiver.
  11. Urlacher played 3 more games for the Bears than Singletary, 63 more than Butkus.
  12. Yep, spent 5 days so far out of town I didn't have cell service, let alone data.
  13. Corsi numbers from today are hilarious.
  14. 4.8 in 2011 was as close as he's come since. Bumgarner was 4.7 in 2011 also.
  15. Teams' last home grown (drafted by and played for them) 5+ WAR pitcher: Tigers - Justin Verlander (2012) White Sox - Chris Sale (2012) Rays - David Price (2012) Reds - Johnny Cueto (2012) Dodgers - Clayton Kershaw (2012) Angels - Jered Weaver (2011) Phillies - Cole Hamels (2011) Blue Jays - Ricky Romero (2011) Marlins - Josh Johnson (2010) Rockies - Ubaldo Jimenez (2010) Mariners - Felix Hernandez (2010) Red Sox - Jon Lester (2010) Royals - Zack Greinke (2009) Giants - Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain (2009) Diamondbacks - Brandon Webb (2008) Padres - Jake Peavy (2007) Orioles - Erik Bedard (2007) Indians - CC Sabathia (2007) Astros - Roy Oswalt (2007) Yankees - Chien-Ming Wang (2007) Cubs - Carlos Zambrano (2006) Pirates - Kris Benson (2004) Brewers - Ben Sheets (2004) Twins - Brad Radke (2004) Nationals - Javier Vazquez (2003) Athletics - Barry Zito, Mark Mulder, Tim Hudson (2003) Rangers - Kenny Rogers (2002) Braves - Kevin Millwood (1999) Mets - Dwight Gooden (1985) Cardinals - John Denny (1978)
  16. Multiple Davis' in this group. Please specify. Chris Davis.
  17. Rizzo's contract is completely irrelevant to Vogelbachs development or value to the organization. Does anyone really think that Hoyer took one look at Rizzos signature and thouht welp we're done here. Time to trade the rest of our 1b prospects.
  18. I imagine a June or July promotion to Daytona is very likely. Why, do the Cubs want to rest his arm after May?
  19. Wood is one of only two pitchers in baseball to have pitched a quality start in every start so far this season.
  20. The cleanup hitters for the three first place AL teams are Vernon Wells, Nick Swisher and Adrian Beltre.
  21. And to think all this ignorance could have been spared had he just actually read the article he commented on.
