I tried the AMEX option for 2 game 7 tickets right at 10:01, and waited 15 minutes and there were no tickets. I imagine much time in hell is spent trying to buy sports tickets on Ticketmaster.

QUOTE (Bighurt52235 @ May 12, 2011 -> 05:50 PM) Fairly stunning to me how many people hate watching the end of games. Especially in save situations. Also, is it really that hard to stay up until midnight? I get it if you have to get up before 5 am, but otherwise, a West Coast game should be pleasurable, a late night treat. Just my 3 cents. Yeah. I'm up everyday by 6 AM. I'll try to watch the games, but it doesn't always happen, especially a regular season game. Staying up for the Hawks/Canucks playoff games drained me all week.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ May 13, 2011 -> 04:20 AM) I think the series will come down to simply how well Mario Chalmers can defend Rose. He's clearly better than Bibby defensively, and if he can at least hold Rose to say under 30 a night, I think the Heat will take the series in 6. This series has Rose, Lebron, Wade, Boozer, Bosh, Deng, but it will all come down to Mario Chalmers. LOL, we are not at Kansas anymore, Toto. Like Brian said, I highly doubt you don't see LeBron or Wade on Rose most of the time. When you have two top scoring options like that, it's OK if one of them gets a little tired out on the defensive side of the court.

Marleau finally shows up, then Datysuk just amazes again. Nothing beats NHL Game 7s

Scott Boras up to his old tricks already with Hosmer

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 12, 2011 -> 05:49 PM) Poor Kendry Morales. He's about to lose basically a second season to one of the more fluke injuries in recent memory. and he did it celebrating a walk-off homer with all his teammates. I'm sure the Angels were ready to offer him a nice contract too, now he'll be almost 30 before he's 100% healthy, if he can even repeat the same success.

QUOTE (kane0730 @ May 12, 2011 -> 03:03 PM) My heart goes out to them. They strongly appreciate your heartfelt condolences.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ May 11, 2011 -> 04:38 PM) sucks, i really liked that show and it was starting to get very suspenseful I had given up on it after the first few episodes, but then I decided to start watching again, and it actually got pretty good as the season went on. Luckily, they will still show the last two season ending episodes, but it does suck that it's done with.

Those injuries to Cashner & Wells really hurt the Cubs. This Coleman kid sucks, Russell was worse, and old crafty veteran Doug Davis will be starting on Saturday.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 12, 2011 -> 12:25 PM) I know they were in big trouble a couple of years back. I think they may have been, but it is looking much better now. I read this article a few days ago when the Canucks series started. Nashville Predators: Southern hockey’s hot spot

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 12, 2011 -> 12:19 PM) You might see Detroit move to the East and Minnesota move to the central, or something along those lines. That would suck if they split up Chicago & Detroit. I'd prefer they move a team like Columbus that doesn't really have any rivals anyway.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 12, 2011 -> 11:42 AM) And from what i've heard Nashville might be in trouble actually. Really? Everything I have heard is that Nashville is as stable as can be, especially with their recent success. They might not be able to afford to keep all of their top players like Weber, Suter, & Rinne, but that doesn't mean the franchise is in any trouble.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 12, 2011 -> 11:28 AM) Atlanta is relocating to Winnipeg, it's official. Good news. I think they need to try to get more back teams back into Canada. And I still wonder why there is no attempt to put a team in Wisconsin. I realize why they tried to expand to the southern part of the US, but I think they got a little over-zealous with the attempts. Teamss like Nashville & Carolina seem to be thriving, but Atlanta & Miami already have crappy support for their basketball & baseball teams. Why would that change with hockey??

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 9, 2011 -> 10:17 AM) Paging Patrick Marleau Found these stats interesting: Marleau has 1PT(an assist) in 15 career game 6 and 7's. In 3 gold medal games with CAN, he has 0PTS, 2010-OLY, 2005 and 2003 WC. On the other side of the coin, since he's been in the league only Sakic (51) and Zetterberg (48) have more playoff goals than Marleau (47).

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 12, 2011 -> 10:44 AM) The Thrashers? I figured it would be Phoenix moving. I believe the city of Glendale agreed to pay the NHL $25 million to keep them there one more year while they continue to try to sell the team. I believe the money is supposed to cover arena operating costs.

He might have actually taken over the crown of "Worst Defensive LFer in Chicago". And that is not easy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 12, 2011 -> 07:50 AM) As long as Juan Pierre is on this roster, he'll be starting and leading off for Guillen. The only way you can possibly make that change is to DFA him. If you sent down someone or DL'd Teahen, Viciedo would wind up starting at 3b sometimes and Pierre would still be the everyday LF. Sad but true. Maybe he gives him a day or two off to clear his mind, but I don't see him benching him long-term. The thing is, Juan currently serves little purpose on the bench either. Even as a pinch runner, his SB% is under 50%, so his speed may help on a base hit, but he won't steal a base. He's not a defensive replacement anymore and he won't get the big pinch-hit.

Finally a fun ending to watch and it's late night on the West Coast! Just watched the replay highlights, awesome. Maybe this is the win to spark the run at the Tribe!!!

Just saw the replay, helluva of a play by PK, as well as by Thornton to catch it with one hand mid-stride and make it to the base in time. That being said, I still think Lilli's plays were better, especially considering the Sox would have lost had he not made them.

LOL, that story makes me kinda laugh, but it is a bit creepy. Poor Kaner. I am still amazed as to how naive and stupid people are when it comes it posting stuff on the internet, not thinking that it will get around and tons of people will see it and get back to you.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 11, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) It's this reason alone that Guillen needs to go. Could you imagine having a Bears coach that continually lost to the Packers every single year? Actually I can. Dick Jauron & Dave Wannstedt. But yes they were fired eventually.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 11, 2011 -> 02:29 PM) My goodness the Twins are awful. How the f*** did we lose to them again? Way to wake up Jason Kubel
