He played 81 games all year, then got benched in the playoffs, I wasn't sure he would come back. Personally, I thought he was a solid 4th liner. Kicked some ass, but would also provide the occasional offense too.

Is it legal to do a story, use my facebook picture, then run it on a huge website? Jeez lol http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/highschool-p...Y3Rpb25z;_ylv=3 #humblebrag

QUOTE (flavum @ May 25, 2012 -> 09:29 PM) Not to kick a team while they're down, but the Cubs lost their 10th straight by losing 1-0 to the Pirates. Left 11 on base, and went 0-12 with runners in scoring position. #3 hitter: Joe Mather #6 hitter: Adrian Cardenas

My first live game of the year. Fun stuff. Way to battle Quintana and good to see Santiago rolling along. And that offense is kinda good too.

I have really enjoyed the playoffs this year, but Kings/Devils is pretty meh to me. I'm sure I'll watch some, but not gonna go out of my way for it.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 25, 2012 -> 11:59 AM) One of the reasons I live in the city is so that there is absolutely no temptation to ever drink and drive. I go out by L and come home by cab. $40 a week in cab/transportation for nights out = $200 a year or $20,000 for 100 years. Seems like a bargain to me when you consider how much money youd have to pay for 1 DUI (counting fees, fines, insurance premium increase, loss of reputation). One of the dumbest things you can do. Yet so many celebrities who can easily afford cabs/limos consistently get DUIs. Jenna Jameson being the newest member of the club. P.S. I think your math is off, there are more than 5 weeks in a year.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 25, 2012 -> 10:34 AM) There are not too many guarantees that players will live up to their contracts. What qualities would you look for in someone that would? Injury history? Consistency of seasons? Age? Conditioning? Attitude? History with a team / town / organization? Most of those qualities would be taken into consideration among many others. Except for a history with a team, that really means little in predicting a player's future performance.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 25, 2012 -> 10:11 AM) For 2010, according to Forbes, the team showed a $26million profit. In 2011 they again showed a profit according to Forbes. In fact only three teams showed loses in 2011. Tigers (won division), Mets (sucked), and Red Sox (90 wins). I'd rather be the Tiger's fan winning a division than losing the division but knowing the owners made a few million bucks profit. So what's that done for our Sox? Flexibility to land an aging out of position fill-in 3rd baseman while MB is pitching in Florida? That's something the fans will come out to see. I understand looking for something to feel good about this season. If it's performance to the balance sheet that gets you excited, cool. But I'm just not that excited about returns in someone else's portfolio. I haven't seen years of profits directly leading to years of winning. Not a single person has said that, but I see it makes you feel better to keep making that point.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 25, 2012 -> 09:51 AM) I would rather the team lose money and win than make money and lose. I "lose" money every month on my mortagage but I am building equity. The value of the franchise continues to rise. It isn't like the investors will lose money on their investment long term. If people are really that interested in the team's finances, send them a check. I'm sure every single fan agrees with this statement.

Who is up to something fun this weekend? I'm staying in town but weekend is busy. Friday: The Jose Quintana show Live Saturday: Golf & a BBQ Sunday: Wedding (holiday weekend weddings suck) Monday: Another BBQ with my folks

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 25, 2012 -> 07:42 AM) De Aza should platoon with Lillibridge. But then who will take Dunn's spot in the lineup? He can't face lefties either

Dayan Viciedo

Hudson

Alejandro

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 24, 2012 -> 05:19 PM) What is this, Russia, Danny? This isn't Russia, is it? In communist Russia, the Hawk criticizes YOU!
