QUOTE (iamshack @ May 31, 2012 -> 09:59 AM) Not that I don't agree with your overall point, but Boers & Berstein are certainly no barometer for what is something that should be laughed at or not...those two are complete hacks that substitute their ability to make fun of others for their utter lack of any other skills or abilities. I'm a fan of theirs, but I see where the other side comes from. I actually think they are way smarter than people give them credit for, but they lack the ability to hear others out and discuss both sides of the story, which leads to their making fun of everyone else. I've just learned to tune out when they start being idiots. The fact that the Hawks thing was on Deadspin within 10 minutes, and Yahoo front page later in the day, shows how funny it was to all.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ May 30, 2012 -> 07:19 PM) What would your ideal announcer's response have been? I though Hawk's reaction was exactly right and was the same as most of the Sox fans watching. Maybe calm the f*** down & don't scream like a banshee about your personal vendetta vs. Wegner that you have held for 10 years? I disagreed with the call too, but acting a fool like that is just stupid IMO.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 30, 2012 -> 06:43 PM) Are you fo realz? I was LMAO!!!! That was one of those outbursts in which you're going to remember exactly where you were when you originally heard it. That's my whole point. They are replaying it everywhere nationally, to laugh AT him, not to show how good of an announcer he is. They kept replaying it on B & B, and I was laughing my ass off too because of how crazy & senile Hawk is.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2012 -> 07:42 AM) Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale Matt Kemp says he expects to be back on the DL once again with his nagging hamstring, and this time, could be out a month. #Dodgers #MLB That was quite the awesome bat-breaking meltdown in the locker room after he left the game.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 31, 2012 -> 08:52 AM) I've been searching through our Minor League system and cannot find a "Mr. Offday" anywhere! Who is this mysterious man?? If he's in our Minor League system, he must suck, or KW would have traded him already.

Nicklas Lidstrom to retire today. Other than the sweater he wore, can't really say anything bad about him. 2010-11 was the only minus season he had in 20 seasons, and that was only -2.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ May 30, 2012 -> 09:29 AM) I've seen both days so far and think its badass. I like stuff from that era though. Great miniseries imo, especially for some off the History Channel (they seem to have cool specials sometimes, but nothing like network movies or miniseries) Watched most of the first part last night, definitely enjoyed it. I now realize how little I actually knew about the whole feud.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2012 -> 08:07 AM) It hasn't been said publicly for sure, but that seems to be the MO of this management group. The success of this team could change that quickly though. If the Sox are out of it, I'm sure he gets shut down. But I doubt it happens if they are battling for the division crown. If Q turns out to be servicable, then every once in a while you can maybe skip Sale's turn in the rotation and let Q make a spot start.

wite = baseball genius

Giving Anze Kopitar a wide open breakaway in OT is not conducive to winning the Stanley Cup Finals

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 30, 2012 -> 10:55 PM) How many people do you think will show up to Friday's game? 30K? Weather shouldn't be too bad, plus there's fireworks. This team's also pretty damn good... I don't know, the temp is supposed to be in the 50s and cloudy, which could hurt walk-up sales. That's cold for June 1, especially after the last weekend. 30k is more likely Saturday or Sunday IMO.

so is Jamie Moyer now offically the oldest players to get DFA?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 30, 2012 -> 03:57 PM) To me it is reason #1 of why he needs to stay. That was epically entertaining and well said. Epically entertaining in that everyone is laughing AT him. I agree with his point, but using the phrase "well said" with any of that nonsense he yelled is laughable.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 30, 2012 -> 05:11 PM) I think they saw something about Rizzo last year they really didn't like. I think they also really like Yonder Alonso's ability to crush line drives into the gaps of their excessively large stadium. He is also extremely awful at left field, so he has to play first base.

Hawk's rant after Q's ejection is reason #3,258 why the guy needs to go. What an embarassment. It's one thing to show passion, but that was just a joke. (Cue the "He's such a true Sox fan" arguments)

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:17 PM) Kaplan and Sullivan both said on CTL the other day that Rizzo will be coming up 3 weeks into June. I believe that's for their stretch of interleague games in AL parks. Sounds like we will see him at the cell

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 30, 2012 -> 03:41 PM) I just heard about this bath salts thing recently and it seems incredibly crazy to me. Why wasn't it around during my experimental college days?

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 30, 2012 -> 02:48 PM) The A's aren't that bad... Have you seen Josh Reddick hit lately? Beane absolutely robbed Boston in that deal. If he keeps hitting like that, Beane is gonna trade him away for prospects soon

QUOTE (kapzk @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:45 PM) He didnt he also talk some s*** about Obama He has a very strong opinion on the whole birth certificate topic. You can guess which side he is on

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:14 PM) Matchup between two playoff teams and the Rays aren't drawing any better than the Sox. Weird. EDIT: I guess "weird" isn't the right word. Sad. And the Rays have made the playoffs 3 of the last 4 seasons. Welcome to pro sports fandom in the state of Florida

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 30, 2012 -> 11:53 AM) If by odd you mean bad, you would be correct. He should get slaughtered. I have inserted Dayan Viciedo into the lineup for this one in fantasyland. Viciedo wasn't already in your lineup? The 2nd hottest fantasy hitter over the past 2 weeks?

Cleveland taking it to Bruce Chen in the 2nd. Must win to stay in 1st!

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ May 29, 2012 -> 09:33 PM) What percentage of fans who attend at least one baseball game in the greater Chicago area are Cubs fans? 75%? 80%? More? Probably. Other than the POTUS, it seems like every adult transplant to Chicago automatically becomes a Cubs fan because of Wrigley

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 29, 2012 -> 10:34 PM) If the season ended today, Robin would be manager of year in AL and Ozzie in NL. Pretty amazing when you think of that. If the season ended today, at least one of the managers of the year would come from the Beltway.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ May 29, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) Wow Oduya for that money?? WTF are they thinking? I liked what Oduya after the trade in the regular season, so I can look past his playoff performance. But considering their cap issues, giving him 3.375 is way too much.
