Buehrle>Wood

Phil Jackson resigning. I had a feeling Hornacek was a power play from Isiah Thomas and I believe we're about to find that out. Edit: wait definitely fake la times twitter. f***kk. My bad. Still believe the latter.

Sell everything you own and take that cash to bet it on the White Sox tonight to make a lot more money. That's what I'm doing.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 18, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Moore to come? Seems like that's come to a point where something is about to happen with today's rush of articles on him (even though those articles didn't say anything). And we should hear on Abrams any minute now (not that there should be any drama there). And then I would also expect Nunns situation to be cleared up in the next 24 hours.

Awesome. Oddly busy day for illini basketball news. And maybe more to come.

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 18, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) Avila said almost exactly this after the game. “He was directly in front of me and I had to throw over him,” Avila said. “According to the rules there has to be some sort of contact. Problem is, if I throw normal there I smoke him in the head. Next time I’ll just throw it and hit him, but that’s not something I would wanna do. That’s unfortunate that’s how it is. Your reaction is to kind of get out of his way and make the play but next time if there’s a batter in front -- I’d feel bad. “(Correa) was in front of me but (the umpire) said he ducked. He’s 6’4 and I’m 5’10 so there’s still a difference there. He was in front of me. I couldn’t step through it and tried to throw over him. Like I said, next time if that happens again, I’ll just throw it like I normally would.” Is that what we want? Do your jobs, umps. He doesn't need to come in contact. That's not in the rules. Ump was just wrong.

It was pathetic they kept Leron Black. But I don't think there's any chance they keep Nunn with the extra stigma.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ May 18, 2016 -> 07:31 AM) Umpiring has been really bad league wide, but this year it feels personal against the Sox. I don't remember the last time the Sox won a challenge, seems like every questioned challenge against the Sox they have lost, and have had a couple incidents like last night really hurt the outcome of the game. The home plate upping is far and away the worst I've ever seen. I don't know what has happened there. Did they tell the ups to call a different style or have different emphasis? I cannot explain it. Every game seemingly has resulted in a terrible home plate ump. And to be fair it seems like that is league wide. Not just for the Sox.

QUOTE (harkness @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:12 PM) bad call... but runner wouldnt have been out so inning would have continued. Any batter or runner who has just been put out, or any runner who has just scored, hinders or impedes any fol- lowing play being made on a runner. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of his teammate From MLB rulebook. I don't see why that doesn't apply. A strikeout is a putout.

Could have been Rollins vs a lefty

Of course

We always get called for interference, even for the slightest thing. Of course we can't get a call go url way though.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ May 17, 2016 -> 10:31 PM) Why are we talking about Jerry Sands? Stone mentioned him on the bench

Reminder that Jerry Sands is a wastep of a roster spot.

If Frazier is indeed available to DH I wish we would see how here

QUOTE (harkness @ May 17, 2016 -> 10:20 PM) pretty telling that they pitch to abreau and don't walk him to face garcia. No one is that afraid of Abreau right now... making himself too easy of an out. Frazier was on deck, but yeah still surprising.

Why wouldn't you walk abreu here? I'll take it

Wow

It took something I've never see before but I'll take it.

Awesome jackson. Don't bunt

Most drawn out thing ever. My lord.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 17, 2016 -> 06:18 PM) Nobody would be saying "omg Leury needs at bats" Except maybe B>W Woah woah woah. I'm on record saying I never want to see him bat again. Ive seen way too muxh of thagt. But I do think we need one of three things: 1. Late pinch runner. 2. Late defensive leftfielder. 3. Defensive 1bman for Abreu. Sands to me doesn't give us any of that. I don't think it's too much to ask for our last bench guy to give us one of those.

Because the last man on the bench still has a purpose. Sands is...sands.

I just bought a Kenny Cole suit yesterday. So that.
