QUOTE (farmteam @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 10:49 PM) I know this probably sounds moronic, but I don't think they'd be having this success if they were still in Seattle. Durant & Westbrook joined the team when it was still the SuperSonics. The GM Presti was there too, so he could have made the same or similar moves.

Congrats to Seattle!!!! Oh, wait...

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) But it's essentially $1.25 million because you'd have to pay someone the minimum salary for those three seasons on the roster, anyways. So is 0.9 WAR difference worth $1.55 million?, is the question... And the opportunity cost of not holding Allen back to include in a package for a better player than Pena. How do you know Allen was worth anything more than Pena? Maybe the rest of MLB saw the same thing the Sox did and wouldn't trade for him.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 06:15 PM) 3-0 Indians again. Huge error by Brennan Boesch followed by the first HR of the season by Michael Saunders, a laser beam down the RF line. Would have been the third out of the inning had Boesch caught the ball, and a 0-0 game still. Brantley.

Euro 2012 starts Friday. Just hoping that Poland doesn't embarass themselves on the field with their relatively easy group or on the big stage as host of the tourney. Although with regards to the latter, Ukraine has jumped in the lead with all the stories of awful rampant racism.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 04:53 PM) Depends how you look at it. Would these PSU people want to let him off or put the SOB in jail who got their beloved coach fired and disgraced their name? Exactly. This might have hung jury written all over it. All it takes is one.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 04:40 PM) I remember a very similar thing happening to Joe Crede dropping a Manny Ramirez foul ball and then Manny depositing the next pitch into the stratosphere. I was at that game. It was tied in the top of the 9th when it happened, Manny's homer won the game. It was a line drive that left the field in 0.25 seconds. What did we do before baseballreference.com?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 03:12 PM) Greg, You can't change some folks minds about former Sox players LOL. I still am a big supporter of Carlos Quentin. I am not sure I am convinced those two minor league prospects for CQ was a fair deal for the Sox. Plus the injury thing is getting pretty old. PK has a recurring hand injury and I read in the Phil Rogers article today that he thinks we should now be concerned about Paulie He already missed 50 games THIS season!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 01:34 PM) B&B were in a state of horrified-to-the-point-of-amused disbelief at the 8 jurors announced yesterday. I can't believe they're holding this in State College. On a side note, it's interesting how deep into this story B & B have gotten. Most news people had stopped talking about it for a while, but they have kept mentioning it any time new news comes up and obviously have very strong feelings about the case. Considering how much they laugh about any topic out there, they have taken such a serious tone about this one.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 02:20 PM) Mark has a 3.53 era and that counts his one bad start vs. Phils. As of today, that ranks Mark 30th in ERA in the NL & 3rd in his own team's rotation.

8 of the 12 jurors have a direct connection with PSU, the rest or from the local area

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 01:13 PM) I guess all of the Allen hype can be buried now. I was rooting for the kid too. I lived in the town he grew up in down in TX for a few years and loved it down there. Brandon Allen career WAR: -0.1 Tony Pena WAR w/ Sox: 0.8

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 07:33 AM) We would have also been scrambling to cover him for the first two months of the season while he was hurt. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 08:58 AM) Exactly. Carlos is good when healthy, yet never healthy. This board would have been b****ing up a storm for 2 months about Quentin being hurt and costing the team. This and this. /thread

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 08:48 AM) I believe Rondo's tip-pass assist off Wade's massive block shot to Pietrus in the corner for the 3 was the best pass I've ever seen. Someone prove me wrong. That might have been the play of the game, even more so than the 3 by The Truth. That block could have turned the whole game, and Rondo/Pietrus turned it null & void.

Happy day of birth!!

good thing the bullpen is rested

Mark Gonzales‏@MDGonzales Was told that Konerko's scratch from lineup is ''nothing big.'' More details after game from training staff.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 5, 2012 -> 06:00 PM) Konerko scratched. Lillibridge at 1b. No reason given. If it was something serious, I would think he wouldn't have been in the original lineup.

I hope Urlacher saves some energy for the football season Jimmy Traina‏@JimmyTraina Jenny McCarthy told Howard Stern she needs LOTS of sex, masturbates daily, has 3 hour orgasms. Will Chi media ask Brian Urlacher about this?

Will Oney be there following Daddy around? Cause if so, Robin in a landslide.
