QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 06:49 PM) @lonestarball: 2010 1st rounder Chris Sale has a career bWAR of 6.7. That's higher than every other player taken in the 2010 draft, combined. But the Sox minor league system is garbage!!!

Scott Merkin‏@scottmerkin Dunn will play left field all three games in St. Louis, meaning Viciedo on the bench. Viciedo will start Friday vs. Kershaw

QUOTE (Benchwarmerjim @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 10:44 AM) the Twins have won 9 of their last 11 games, and are only 2.5 games behind Detroit. Only a half game behind the Royals and their overload of cant miss prospects

QUOTE (SouthSidePride05 @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 04:57 PM) Sox just don't have much of a home field advantage. If they were drawing respectable crowds, the team would feed off the crowd's energy. Unfortunately the Cell is a ghost town this season and not only does it take away home field advantage, it's gotta be disheartening for the team to see a sea of empty sections. Boston sells out every game and is 14-19 at home. The Phillies lead baseball in attendance and have a 12-19 home record. Tampa averages under 20,000 a game and is 19-11 at home.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 03:42 PM) You asked a yes or no question and included 4 poll options. In all reality, there should be 1 option. It's "no." In Communist China, "no" chooses you

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 10:06 AM) Remember the Quentin for Beachy rumors? If we had done that, we'd have the league leaders in ERA. . Key word = rumors. By this point, I have seen Delgado, Tehran, Beachy, Freeman, Heyward, & McCann all offered up for Quentin.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 10:13 PM) f*** all the Heat hate. You're not a basketball fan if you're not amped up for LeBron vs Durant for the NBA championship. You probably have to go back to 1991 to find a final that featured by far and away the two best players in the world going at it. I can't wait. If the Heat are gonna win, I want it to be because LeBron stepped up and went beast mode on everyone. If they win because of Wade & Bosh's contributions, I will be disappointed about it all. Step the f*** up LeBron. That being said, Thunder in 6

f***, Jason Kipnis 3-run bomb, 4-1 Tribe

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 12:47 PM) You're also a die hard baseball fan. MLB is likely struggling to get more casual fans to turn into die hards. The Reds averaged under 20,000 per game for a 3 game series this week. That shouldn't happen if you have a player as good as Votto. (Their attendance was good this weekend, but that was cause of Detroit/interleague)

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 04:07 PM) Middle relief failure today really showing up now. If the Sox middle relief didn't fail, then the Astros wouldn't have used their weak middle relievers, and I doubt the Sox score as much. Brett Myers would have been in earlier.

Just turned the game on, maybe I'm good luck. This game ain't over.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 08:39 PM) Any advice on sections to sit in/avoid at Fenway Park? Avoiding upper deck, avoiding the monster seats. Avoid sitting near Bostonians

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:29 PM) This makes me think Deng being gone is more likely. Trading Deng this offseason would be dumb. If he plays in the Olympics and waits til after to have the surgery, his value would be at his lowest I would think.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:20 PM) Ozzie Guillen Outrages Amish Community by Praising Lightbulbs Wow, way to go Ozzie. He's lucky they don't play in Ohio or Pennsylvania again until next month. Maybe it will die down by then.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:05 PM) I'm pretty sure it applies. What the hell did the keeper do to get a RC? A Greek got in the box alone, and the keeper took him down with a trip. So the keeper got a red card, but the backup came in and saved the PK.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 12:57 PM) I'm actually fine with it. It is not that highly regarded in international football. They only have the .5 bid to the WC, which I think is right. This way they do get a guaranteed spot in one international tourney I see your point, but if one of those sides faces Brazil, somebody might get killed on the pitch! Absolute beatdown.

Question: Does the red card mean that Poland's starting goalie has to sit out the next match? Does that rule apply to Euro?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 11:14 AM) I'll Have Another scratched from tomorrow's Belmont Stakes. That sucks for everyone involved. I'm sure ratings just dropped 200% as did potential bets placed.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 12:36 PM) In other news, New Caledonia defeated New Zealand in the OFC cup semis so in the Confed Cup next year the OFC representative will be either New Caledonia or Tahiti lol LOL, that is hilarious. Since Australia moved to the Asian group, the OFC should not have an automatic bid to that tourney.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 12:30 PM) Holy crap, major swing there. Red card on the Polish keeper resulting in a penalty, than the backup saves it cold off the bench. Wow!!! That was intense. That would have been a disaster, especially since Greece had been playing with 10 men the whole half.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 12:11 PM) Yeah, but with the way Floyd's been pitching . . . Two points for you sir

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 11:55 AM) It feels like Carlos Lee has been on the Astros for such a long time. Weird that it's only been since 2007. I know he likes hitting baseballs far in the park a few miles north of the Cell, hopefully coming back here overwhelms him emotionally and he goes 0-for the series. I'll be at the park taking a gander at what may be the AL's worst team in 2013. I'll bet you $100,000 he doesn't get a hit in this series. He's on the DL

GOAL!!!! 1-0 Poland

#2 used to ruin my whole day in college #17 - hate waking up in the morning to find you you are laying on just the mattress

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 09:52 AM) If rotations hold, and Danks returns on the 17th, here is what our interleague play looks like: Houston-- Rodriguez vs Floyd - L Lyles vs Sale - W Harrell vs Humber - L St. Louis-- Quintana vs Lynn - W Peavy vs Wainwright - L Floyd vs Westbrook - W Dodgers-- Sale vs Kershaw - W Humber vs Billingsley - L Danks vs Capuano - W Cubs-- Garza vs Peavy - L Wood vs Floyd - W Samardzija vs Sale - W Brewers-- Gallardo vs Humber - L Greinke vs Danks - W Wolf vs Peavy - W 9-6 would be very good. There is your 9-6
