QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 03:03 PM) Way to go PK! And BTW, bunting with Konerko would be playing to lose! Fixed.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 03:01 PM) See this is wher Konerko should bunt...I know he won't and he could as easily hit a three run shot but I just want to make sure we get one of these in. Just do not try a double steal here...or hit into a DP This is the same argument for why Thome should have bunted back in 06. Bunting would be stupid, especially since Konerko is your second best hitter on this team.

First two are on, come one Paulie, no GIDP.

Peavy's in trouble.

Konerko and Jones swung at some bad pitches in those ABs...

Oh what the hell... Don't give Wells free outs you idiots.

Rios continues to own.

Come on Jake...

And Beckham redeems himself, sorta.

Peavy shoulda had Fukudome on that 2-2 pitch.

We should have gotten more out of that inning. Wells was wild and left a lot of pitches up.

Come on Beckham, that ball was right down the middle...

Keep this going, come on Gordon.

Maybe Peavy will be really pissed and pitch a good game today...

Rick Hahn, hopefully. And somebody not as ignorant about stats as Ozzie is as a manager. Or somebody who won't put s***ty players in key positions in the lineup.

Well, maybe this team will all play tricks on us and sweep all the NL teams they face.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 07:32 PM) Cardinals statistically have one of the better bullpens in baseball. They have 2 or 3 rooks in their rotation now. I have a few Cardinals fan friends (they're not stupid either) and they tend to worry about this bullpen a lot. Plus, we're going to end up trading Putz anyways, why not trade him to a team that might need his help. It's not like Ryan Franklin is the most reliable closer ever (see September/October of last year).

First Lillibridge, now Vizquel? WTF?

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 10:25 AM) he'll have to win several more stanley cups dude. Well yeah, but the way he's treated and what he's accomplished, it just seems like it's the Jeter treatment.

The legend continues to grow.

I started wondering about this last night when I heard all the things that Toews had won before the got to hold the cup last night, but... Is Jonathan Toews the Derek Jeter of hockey?

I think Putz makes a hell of a lot more sense.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 10:04 AM) I feel like the Chicago media is covering the wrong story today. The Blackhawks will very likely win another Stanley Cup in the next 5 years. Lillibridge will never hit a longer home run than he did last night. Poor White Sox, always getting the s***ty press coverage. Exactly, Brent should be on the front cover of the Trib and the back cover of the SunTimes.

I am still in awe at Lillibridge's home run. When I saw it this morning, my confidence in my baseball abilities just skyrocketed.

As an on and off Blackhawks fan (I remember watching them getting their ass kicked by the Blues way back in the 2001-2002 playoffs and going to my first game back in 2000), I can't say this means the world to me. To say that it does would be completely wrong. So congrats to the guys who have stuck around all these years and suffered through the Zhamnovs and Dazes. Hockey is definitely back in Chicago.
