    ESPN. I'm not really worried about this game. New Jersey may be 9 of their last 12, but they only beat Charlotte, Indiana, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Washington, and New York. And most of those games were close. I predict Bulls by 17. Hmmm.....thought I looked at ESPN and they were doing a different game. That will be great, Bulls in HD tonight!

    This game doesn't appear anywhere on my TV schedule. Not even on the NBA package channels. Is it a local TV only deal?

    Just looking at the Trans. map. Blue line to Addison bus? Or how far is it to walk from blue line to the stadium? Looking for June 3rd vs. Atl. Open as to seat location. My cousin is a Braves fan and we went to Turner last year and he gets to go to Wrigley this year. Want good seats, but they don't have to be great. Thanks for your help guys Bus? Should be a way to take the blue line, xfer to the red line, and get off right at the stadium. You'll walk for 2 minutes after getting off the train, and have a great look at Wrigley while heading in...

    That's it. FIRE HIM NOW!!

    Can sum this game up pretty easily: Z needs to stop sucking, Cubs offense needs to start hitting. Baseball is easy, see?

    So here's your timeline: 1) Sammy arrives in what can only be described as an extremely hostile environment on the South Side 2) Sox fans give it to Sammy every time he makes an appearance, booing up a storm 3) Sammy hits a 3-run blast. In his excitement, he hops a little higher, stretches his arms out a little more than usual. 4) Guillen calls for Sammy to be hit. How on God's green earth can this be construed as Sammy's fault? As if Sox fans wouldn't enjoy Konerko doing the same if he was booed to that extent on the road and then hit a dinger. Give me a break. Sox fans have long been known to be the most hypocritical fans on the planet. And now they've got a hypocrite for a manager, and a hypocrite for an owner to go with it.

    My immediate comment is that this was posted in the Prior injury thread. Would be nice to consolidate the posts on this subject. I find the article very interesting as well.
  8. Soul
    Last I heard, Prior was fully healthy and ready to go full speed with the rest of the team. Yep. Heard the same thing. Is this for real or is it a sick joke? Unfortunately I'll never be able to make myself give up on Prior. Anyone know when his first scheduled start @ Iowa might be. I'm only 5 hours away -- might be willing to roadtrip down there to see Mark for old time's sake.

    Mark me down as clueless too. I wanted Schmitty. Good thing nobody listens to me 8-)

    Yeah, he hasn't just lost a MPH or two. This guy used to blast 97MPH heaters right by hitters. I agree it's got to be incredibly frustrating for Wade. And I have no doubt he's really trying his best. He just doesn't have it anymore. Damn shoulders. You never know if they'll come back or not.
  11. Soul
    He's definitely grinding our playoff hopes into dust.
  12. Soul
    He's fantastically bad. I would very much have rather seen Ronny go back to AAA instead of Gooz. It leaves us kind of short on IF bench, though, especially with DeRosa's aching back. I want to like the kid, but he just doesn't have much skill at the plate.
  13. Soul
    Doubtful. While I'm enjoying Sammy's dingers, his numbers are as of now pretty bad: .205/.222/.432
  14. Soul
    Yeah, 2.33 WHIP. Ouch. He's pretty much a turnstyle to the basepaths.

    Isn't that pretty much guaranteeing a fine or suspension? Should a major league manager be carrying out vendettas for his fanbase and openly saying he's going to instigate something with another team because a guy hit a home run and hopped? Sammy rubbed it in pretty good and it was a meaningless homer. I would think it was pretty lame if a similar thing happened to the Cubs. See, I didn't see it happen, and I haven't seen a clip. Did he just hop more than usual, or did he walk down the baseline or something? He hopped and then kind extended his arms like he was an airplane as he ran to first base. It wasn't that big of a deal but I can understand why it would upset the White Sox. I can understand why a lot of things would upset the Sox. They happen to really suck at the moment. But that's no excuse for a manager to publicly call for a player to be hit. That's unacceptable.

    Our lack of offense is the primary concern. But I also don't think Miller's going to cut it.

    Isn't that pretty much guaranteeing a fine or suspension? Should a major league manager be carrying out vendettas for his fanbase and openly saying he's going to instigate something with another team because a guy hit a home run and hopped? In my mind we're to the point where Guillen should be getting some hefty suspensions. Like 15 games. How many times is going to be able to embarrass the league before something is done? And Reinsdorf is worried about *CUBAN* misbehaving???????? H.Y.P.O.C.R.I.T.E.S.
  18. Soul
    What a freaking hypocrite. As if Guillen spent his entire days on this earth with his mouth shut minding his own business. Now he's upset because Sammy did his hop? You've got to be kidding me. What a [expletive].
  19. Soul
    Yeah, thanks. Great video analysis. slowing things down really shows the difference. I particularly like the follow through illustration. There's just no question part of Mark's problem is he's lost his agressive approach. This shows it beautifully. I think Rothschild and Mark ought to have a look at this. It's a nice analysis, worthy of some additional attention.

    Sammy's homer had all the Sox fans on the Score whining about how he shouldn't be in the hall of fame and he's a cheater. Think we might need to call the WAAAAAAAAMMMMBULANCE. Eat some Sammy longball, Sox turds, LOL :lol:
  21. Soul
    If Ohman blows it, can't wait to hear Lou.
  22. Soul
    I'm shocked Gooz was sent down.
  23. Soul
    Please don't blow this now.
  24. Soul
    Agreee to disagree? As long as you agree the Cards WS win in '06 was a fluke, sure 8-)
  25. Soul
    End it. Now.
