QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 3, 2012 -> 09:09 PM) For a staff "ace", Danks is, by far, the worst pitcher we have. Period. I was hoping 2011 was a fluke & 2008-2010 was reality, but its not looking like that right now.

Hey look, another overtime playoff game, how boring.

GW double by Harper in the 6th

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 3, 2012 -> 08:44 PM) Do Soriano's 45 saves in 2010 not count for anything? Or his 27 saves in 2009?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2012 -> 07:15 PM) That would just destroy the Yankees. I don't know about that. They have arguably the best set-up guy in the league right now, & Soriano is pretty good too with closing experience.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 3, 2012 -> 06:24 PM) Mariano Rivera was helped up off the ground and put on a cart. He may have blown out a knee shagging BP. I hope it's just a sprain or something. If it's serious and that's how his career ends, that would just be brutal.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2012 -> 11:03 PM) Modern Family is supposed to be a comedy, right? Tonight's episode was just painful to watch. I concur. And I had no idea that LA had a subway?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 3, 2012 -> 04:47 PM) Finally given a chance to (mostly) start, Kila Ka'ahuie is hitting .314 so far, .375 OBP. He leads all Oakland regulars by 39 and 18 points in each of those categories thus far. Not showing much power yet, but still, doing pretty well in his first year with starting AB's. And his minor league numbers would indicate the power will come too, with time. Soxtalk's favorite ex-Royal

Earn that $15 million tonight Danks!

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 3, 2012 -> 02:15 PM) Hossa's injury though, I think that was a game changer in the series. Every game was close, but Hossa would have probably put them over the top. It's a toss-up, but I get your point. The Hawks weren't gonna win the cup this year even with Hossa though, so that limits how 'devastating' it was.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2012 -> 03:05 PM) Sad to see this is over. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/colle...0,7828209.story That's dumb. It's not football where one non-conf loss can ruin your national title hopes. Play the game, it can help your kids get used to a big game atmosphere.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 3, 2012 -> 02:53 PM) Many in SoCal sportsphere believe Albert's struggles are related to changing leagues and seeing both new and better pitching in the AL. Bat speed aside, could this also have been a contributing factor to Dunn's struggles of last season? I'll agree with new, but I don't know about better. There's some damn good pitching in the NL.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2012 -> 02:15 PM) Carlos Marmol is terrible now Reason #3,472 why the blown save stat is stupid. Marmol starts the 9th with a 3-0 lead, leaves up 3-2, bases juiced & none out. Dolis gets a GIDP and a K, but he gets the blown save cause they tying run scored when he was in.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 3, 2012 -> 01:12 PM) Yeah, I guess Marian Hossa isn't a big deal or anything. Or Jonathan Toews. IIRC, the Hawks played well without Toews, especially once they got Oduya. The Hossa injury hurt, but they weren't exactly dominating the series at that point, they were 5.5 seconds away from being down 2-0.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 3, 2012 -> 10:47 AM) I'm not big on the ins and outs of WAR, ERA+, and whatever, but at some point, they just need to ditch won/loss record altogther. At the end of the day, teams know how good you are without looking at your win/loss record. Zambrano won't lose a dime because of this. Might as well just discontinue the practice of assigning decisions. I like quality starts but know that not all of them are equal. I go--quality starts, IP, WHIP, K/BB ratio, and ERA. The way I look at it, if you make 33 starts and 20 are quality, with 210 innings, you've done your part on the team. The rest of the numbers take care of themselves. I agree with everything you said. But as Balta said, it's Carlos Zambrano, all bets are off with him.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2012 -> 09:44 PM) LaHair looks pretty damn good for the Cubs. Theo will likely trade him to an AL team at the deadline. Also never thought Samardjiza would be as good of a starter as he's looked this year. LaHair with #7

That's 3 wins that Heath Bell has now cost Big Z. I'd watch my back in the locker room if I were him.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 2, 2012 -> 11:18 PM) Epic game. Guys just sacrificing their bodies left and right in period 6, it's hard to match the dedication anywhere in sports. Ryan McDonagh was on the ice for 53:21

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2012 -> 07:38 AM) Plus they still owe $189 million to Mauer and Morneau (counting this year). To put that in perspective the Sox owe $91.5 million to Peavy, Rios, and Dunn. Morneau is only due $28 mil through 2013. It's the $161 mil through 2018 due to Mauer that is gonna really hurt them.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 2, 2012 -> 11:55 PM) And. Um. Arm. I just watched the highlight of the sac fly where he just missed throwing the guy out from deep LF.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ May 2, 2012 -> 11:22 PM) It feels like that's usually the case. Not sure where one would find data on number of doubleheader splits vs. doubleheader sweeps. Game 1 could be a softball game with a football score that has you feeling good going into Game 2, only to get shut down by the team you hung 17 on a few hours earlier. The last 3 years it's been close to 50/50. 2011: 18 sweeps, 16 splits 2010: 7 sweeps, 10 splits 2009: 13 sweeps, 10 splits
