[Aaron Poreda called up]

That would be Shawn Green.

 

born in the magnificent town of Des Plaines, Illinois....I think he grew up out west though

[8 teams scouted the double dip yesterday]

I think Bruce mentioned that the Cubs were there only for advanced scouting, they play both the Sox and Tigres in the next two weeks

[Third sports talk radio station a strong possibility for Chicago]

Murph is the 2nd worst sports radio host in Chicago. North is the worst.

 

^^^^^^^

[Aaron Poreda called up]

Cowley on the score:

 

Says the short term plan is Poreda is up to take Colon's spot in the starting rotation. He will likely make his MLB debut vs Milwaukee.

 

Thinks Colon will be released or put on the 15 day DL.

 

Says the Freddy Garcia signing is a safety net and now he is the insurance plan in case Poreda struggles.

 

so does that mean Contreras has the other spot, and CR to the pen???

[Aaron Poreda called up]

Please be Dan Haren.

 

/wishful thinking

 

I like it, I think I'd be willing to take Chris Young and have his bat in the lineup every day if it meant that Haren was in our rotation

[Big Hurt is back!!!]

Good to see Big Frank back with the sox, although I dont know how good of an analyst he will be. Either way, i think its time to get that number retired soon...

[Josh Fields questions future with White Sox]

he got his average up from .212 to .244 and he thinks that should keep him from critisicsm. Dont mention the fact that hes hitting .182 in the first week or so of June..

 

Do something on the field or shut your mouth

[Tigers @ White Sox GAME 1 1:05pm WGN-HD]

of course we get two hits, and dye going 1st to 3rd on a single AFTER Lexi grounds in a double play...

 

here comes a fly out for Paulie

[Tigers @ White Sox GAME 1 1:05pm WGN-HD]

Double Play for Miggy! Nice! With our offense, a couple runs in the first and that could have been the game already

[Tigers @ White Sox GAME 1 1:05pm WGN-HD]

So has there been no official word on who was sent down for the Count (lol)?

 

I think they are waiting til game 2 to announce it, thats why Richard is pitching game 1, so they can have the extra arm in the bullpen, then make a move in between games

[Tigers @ White Sox GAME 1 1:05pm WGN-HD]

S. Podsednik lf

[Official Soccer Thread]

I agree, but I'm glad that I was able to be there

 

Being there was definitely awesome. I gotta say that when Honduras scored that first goal, the stadium was shaking and I think it was louder than I have ever heard at a Bears game before.

 

[Is Sammy a Hall of Famer???]

If you ranked hte most obvious beneficiaries of steroids in the steroid era you would probably go:

 

1. Bonds

2. McGuire

3. Sosa

 

 

Thats what will keep him out.

 

With that list, the difference is that Bonds was easily a hall of famer before he took the juice. without the juice, sosa is nowhere near a hall-of-fame caliber player

[Is Gordon Beckham a Bust?]

I think they best way to fix this all and make up for Kenny's mistakes is to trade Beckham straight up to Arizona and get back Chris Young, at least he can hit over .150

[2009 AL Central Thread]

Anybody know what happened to M. Cabrera toady? He left the Tigers/Red Sox game in the 2nd inning.

 

yahoo says he left with a left hamstring injury

[2009 AL Central Thread]

Dontrelle is looking good again, 2.1 IP, 0 H, 5 ER, 5 BB, 1 HBP

[Official 2008-2009 NBA Thread]

Just 3 years later after the ESPN hype machine couldnt give us enough of Redick/Morrison, they both have already made the NBA Finals!!!

 

Morrison has no chance of playing, and Redick made one 10 minute appearance in the conference finals, thats it....

[Gordon Beckham Called Up]

Awesome!!! Great to come into work in the morning, and see this first thing on the computer!! First time I can remember the White Sox actually having such a high-impact prospect in the minors ready to hit in the majors

[2009 College Baseball]

I feel bad for Ohio State. It is 20-0 FSU in the 3rd inning. There isn't a mercy rule in tournament play either.

 

FSU just put up an 11-spot in the 5th, its 32-2 now...wow

[2009 Cubs thread]

Nobody cares about anybody's fantasy team...ever.

 

Well my mom says I have the best fantasy baseball team in the whole school so whatever

[2009 Cubs thread]

I have Gregg on a fantasy team, so its a win-win, either I get a save or he blows a Cubs lead...

[Official 2008-2009 NHL Thread]

per ESPN, Lidstrom & Datsuyk are out for Detroit, Khabi & Havlat are out for the Hawks, Fraser playing for Marty

[Official 2008-2009 NHL Thread]

Im not specifically talking about that game, I am talking about him in general. He has a giant hole that EVERYONE knows about. Both of their contracts make me want to puke actually.

 

In the first five minutes of game 4, I think i heard the anouncers say "Aim high on Huet, he always struggles with high shots" about ten times.....

[Peavy Rejects Sox Offer; Deal Now Dead]

horacio ramirez just blew win #8 for grienke

 

i totally benched asdrubal cabrera cause he was facing facing greinke and he's 3-4 with a SB and a run, damn
