Why the heck do I not get this game on extra innings? It starts before the blackout rules. -
I loathe Paul Pierce. Thus I can't root for them. The only player I hate on Boston is Posey (for obvious reasons). I really wanted the Bulls to get Pierce last year when the Celtics somewhat made him available and I like Garnett and Allen. The only reason I don't really like the Celtics is the fact that they're from Boston. And that makes me sick. The Lakers are my most hated NBA team, so do the math. No I get it. I don't really like the Lakers either. I was ok with Pierce until he threw up a gang sign on live tv to Al Horford. I wonder what he would have done had the game been non televised, would he have hit Horford? and for what getting excited for hitting a big shot. Lot's of people, including Paul, do that. Just rubbed me wrong.

Yeah I am done watching. I am glad the NBA got its wet dream though.

that would be a disaster if jennings doesn't qualify, i mean, it would be a tragdy for college basketball, that kid is freaking amazing. If Brandon Rush qualified how the hell can this kid not? Rush went to about 15 schools.

gotta think the NCAA will frown on that.

He doesn't have to be your favorite, but what does he have to do for you to feel safe with him? His numbers are downright amazing. All of them. From HR's allowed to K:BB ratio, to K/9, to OPS against, to high leverage OPS, to RISP 2 outs, to close and late OPS against, to his overall control to his ERA +. What do you need from him? He's been way better than anyone expected if you look at his metics, pretty much any and all of them. For starters quit hitting or walking the leadoff hitter. Thta is my main thing. He always puts the pressure on himself and he doesn't need to. He has such good stuff, just throw your freaking fastball. Don't try and get so cute with your breaking ball.

This statement is so stupid I don't even know how to respond to it. Go look up his peripherals and then get back to me. Christ. Wood has been dominant. All closers blow some saves. Marmol can't pitch every inning of every close game. Did we lose? Sham effing closer and his near sub 3 era suck. I can't stand him either. People will complain about anything. Do what I do and just laugh about it. Wood's been about as good as anyone could have hoped. It's quite humorous how people still manage to complain about the job he's done up to this point. Or maybe everyone on this board could quit being dicks to each other and calling out every post. All I said is "I" can't stand him. I never said "the Cubs" should pull him.

I just don't feel safe with him on the hill. Sue me.

Edmonds being a dick after the game in the interview. Wonder why no one will warm up to you Jimbo.
-
He's been just fine. Yeah, but I just never feel comfortable with him. It is pry just me, but he is always in and out of trouble.
-
I can't stand Wood as our closer. I never feel like the lead is safe.
-
Dammit Wood. Throw strikes.
-
no it isn't lee hit into a double play.
-
The way he's throwing, let him pitch the ninth. THIS!!! Yeah, we can't lose this one now.
-
nope.
-
I am glad I called ballgame in the first. Reverse jinx?
-
WOW. Thank you Clint Hurdle.
-
Wow, come on DeRosa one more gapper.
-
use ramirez.
-
Someone wake up Clint Hurdle. I think it might be time to go get Aaron Cook.
-
Cook still in.

Why can't we win this? If we get into their pen by next inning we have a shot. 9 outs for 5 runs and we need to shut them out, I don't think so, especially with the lineup we have out there right now. Well, it probably won't happen. But, if we get a little closer, we still have Ramirez to use. We just got to get the tying run to the plate one time.
