Rays win. Cabrera/Fielder/Peralta mowed down by the ever powerful closer Fernando Rodney.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 02:37 PM) Look at the lineup the Cards used today for a "Sunday lineup" Wow, 2nd/3rd/4th best hitters all on the bench. And they lost.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 02:25 PM) But then you're undermanned every single game. What hurts you more, being down 1 person 3 games in a row, or being down 3 people in 1 game? If you work matchup factors into the 3 games, then I'd say 3 people in 1 game hurts more. Find certain days/matchups to give your best players rest, not all of them on the same day like some managers tend to do.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 01:42 PM) http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...,0,766148.story Good deal. Briggs gets overshadowed by Urlacher, but he's a damn good LB in his own right too.

The whole Sunday lineup idea really baffles me. Instead of having your lineup at 50% on Sunday, and 100% Fri/Sat, how about giving guys rest throughout the series and keep the lineup at 85/90% the whole time. Every game counts the same.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 11:05 AM) Given that news, I think you have to deal off Forte for a 2nd or 3rd round pick and then draft a back in the 2nd round to spell Bush. The Bears can't afford to pay Matt, and even if they could, I wouldn't want them to do so. f*** that. Call his bluff, he won't sit out the season, not with a $7.7 million salary coming his way.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 01:14 PM) Ohman gets used properly and does his job. Exactly as I was about to post.

Danks with more run support today than he had in any start last year.

Blow this game open Adam, time for homer #2

De Aza!

Dunn up to .250

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 11:39 AM) i just do not understand how people project us to be worse than Cleveland and Minnesota. Neither can hit OR pitch. Our rotation is rock-solid, and if we even get a decent bounceback from Dunn, we've got a relatively potent lineup That's what I have been saying all off-season. This is no 90+ win team, but last place & 95 losses in this divsion? No way. For all the Royals hype too, their current rotation is pretty questionable.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 10:08 AM) I'd gladly have this game ppd if it means missing Masterson. However, weather seems to be ok in Cleveland today. Good call!

Dunn career OPS of 1.067 in 12 ABs vs. Masterson.

Nobody is saying differently, so I guess it's time to play ball! Maybe 1000 people in the stands.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 10:44 PM) I do not pretend to be a scout. All I know is the video I saw of Molina showed him as a soft tossing meatball artist. I hope he succeeds but those of you who have seen highlights ... his pitches are slowwwwwww. So what? Your favorite pitcher in the whole wide world is a soft tosser.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 08:05 PM) Arkansas is in a really tough situation right now. With a stud QB/RB and LSU/Bama at home, this could have been a huge year for them. Now, who are they going to get this late in the process? Ron Zook

Petrino....he gone

The Simpsons live in Springfield, Oregon.

Game postponed

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 02:53 PM) No one ever said Derrick Rose is a smart person. I would say he is the exact opposite. Well he did do well enough on his SAT to get into Memphis...

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 02:43 PM) I'd rather they flip-flop Beckham and Rios In this lineup that is true. I was thinking more to the future when De Aza leads off

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 01:53 PM) Today is a must win, assuming that Masterson pitches tomorrow. As long as Danks pitches well, the Sox can come back & win against Perez tomorrow

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 02:22 PM) Chicago White Sox ‏ @whitesox Today's #WhiteSox lineup at CLE: Beckham-4, Rios-9, Dunn-DH, Konerko-3, Fukudome-8, Ramirez-6, Viciedo-7, Flowers-2, Morel-5, Humber-RHP Whoa. That lineup is confusing on the eyes. Rios in the 2-spot is intriguing

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 12:09 PM) Why arent the Bulls in on Lamar Odom? He's not eligible to play in the playoffs for any other team.
