QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 5, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) Supposedly he accomplished the feat on March 2nd or 3rd but 2K Sports didn't verify it until now to keep up the illusion that people still had a shot at the million. There were more than a few perfect games thrown within the first week the game was available. This explains why that took forever. I figured the contest would be over in the first few hours.

While the Arizona law is incredibly stupid and bigoted, from a business standpoint, that'd be a horrible move after just building Camelback.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 5, 2010 -> 07:02 PM) Doesn't Shelby's inability to play CF limit his potential? He really has to be like Chone Figgins with lower OBP but more power to occupy LF/DH on our roster. Then again, we DH the likes of Pierre, Kotsay and Vizquel, and he probably will put up higher OPS numbers than all three of those guys at this point in their late careers. With Shelby, you're talking 15-18 homers, lots of doubles and triples sprinkled in, streaky streaky hitting, maybe 18-24 steals??? Kind of like Ray Durham (albeit lesser version of Ray-Ray playing LF instead of 2B). The question will always be K's/contact and OBP with Shelby, yes? Fair comparison? If not, who would you compare Shelby to in terms of current power/speed combo players? ...pretty sure Shelby has mainly played CF throughout his career. In a hypothetical situation where Quentin and Rios are both gone, he'd be my 4th OF for the Sox, behind Trayce-D2-Mitchell in a few years.

Wasn't he speculated to go much higher? Plus, Boras is his head advisor...it wouldn't happen.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 6, 2010 -> 01:01 AM) Santos ties a rookie record. Who said you have to eventually give up a run Sergio? You could just not give up one all season, that'd be fine.

What happen to AJ being an intelligent baseball player? He could have been out there. Good job Carlos.

Who needs home runs? Go Andruw!

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ May 5, 2010 -> 01:17 PM) Jose Contreras is temporarily going to be the closer for the Phils: http://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/blog/roto_...=fantasy,238335 He's also throwing the hardest he has in his career and has a 14:0 K:BB. Dang, we should have kept him as the long man. But in all seriousness, good for Jose. Guy always gave heart when he was here.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 5, 2010 -> 02:00 PM) I love how Sam Smiths short list is, like, 60 guys. I just said it was short because it was so obscenely long. I want Mo after watching that video.

What. Now that thats out of the way, I'll just say my top 4 Trayce Thompson Jared Mitchell Jordan Danks John Shelby III

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 5, 2010 -> 02:59 AM) I'm not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing that Sam friggin Smith agrees with me. BTW wasn't Ron Adams the one that Joakim had a run-in with? If so, then I wouldn't want him even if he is a tough, defensive coach. You two almost cited the exact same reasons too... ...Ace has a secret identity.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 5, 2010 -> 02:26 AM) I like Collins, but I doubt he'll be back after JR didn't want to hire him to potentially ruin a patched friendship down the line. Ultimately I would like a D'Antoni-type coach who runs an up-tempo style (to optimize Rose's potential), but is a good defensive mind too. One guy who intrigues me everyday who is not on Sam's list and I believe will be a wonderful pick up is Maurice Cheeks (in fact.. he's probably #1 on my list now, as he was like #5 a week or so ago) Makes perfect sense for Rose and I think he can develop him pretty damn well. Got this from another site. Credentials: - Coached Portland and Philly to the playoffs - Former All-Star PG - Former NBA Champion - Former 1st Team All Defense Selection - Runs an up-tempo offense, while stressing team defense - Chicago Native - Current Asst. for OKC (look at what he is doing for Westbrook) And of course he's known for helping that young girl with the National Anthem when she got cold feet. Real good guy. Regardless, there will always be people complaining about different coaches cause of their weaknesses. There are no Jackson/Sloan/Pop/Adeleman etc.. type coaches out there. I'm just personally feelin Cheeks who in my opinion, makes the most sense out of anyone the Bulls can interview. Assuming no Collins or JVG, I'll say Cheeks-Thibodeau-Corbin/Shaw-Scott-Mitchell is my personal top five list, though Scott moves up or down on my list everyday cause of his work with Kidd and especially CP3 who just loves the guy. I forgot to put in Sam's #1, since he wasn't part of the actual list.

Heres Sam Smith's short list Again, I want Collins, but I'd be fine with Avery/Cartwright/Van Gundy. Calipari is intriguing, since he's a kind of a jerk, but for some reason, guys enjoy playing for him, so if he could lure LeBron or Bosh, do it.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 4, 2010 -> 11:01 AM) Oh god my eyes.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 4, 2010 -> 02:09 AM) As one baseball man puts it, Gordon never was George Brett or Mike Schmidt, so now the Royals are hoping he can become Robin Ventura. Do they mean Robin's bat? Or how he was all around (stellar D, ok bat)?

QUOTE (knightni @ May 4, 2010 -> 02:43 AM) How did the pixie cut fit under the cap? http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/video/play...tent_id=7808393 That throw sucked. Buehrle made him look good. (Reason for my dislike of Bieber: When I have to hear all day about how he's the only guy who treats girls nice, it grates on me)

If this years song is "Baby' I will sacrifice Randy to the baseball gods for forsaking us.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ May 3, 2010 -> 06:30 PM) Guess you're gonna be displeased then. If we get Byron Scott, I will hit a kitten.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 3, 2010 -> 04:02 PM) I'm not quite sure what exactly a "Justin Beiber" is, but apparently there's one throwing out the first pitch at the Cell tonight. What the f***.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2010 -> 05:39 PM) What does it say? Twitter, Fecebook, Myspace, youtube, hulu.com, etc. are blocked in CHINA by the "GREAT FIREWALL." Great Firewall made me laugh...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 3, 2010 -> 05:26 PM) I'd be all over Austin Wilson. I'm 100% about tools/projection/upside. If I ever hear the words "safe" and/or "polished" in the same sentence as a White Sox draft pick ever again I will commit suicide by gargling broken glass. But Kyle McCulloch finally reached AAA!

QUOTE (DBAHO @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:26 AM) VDN update; Now out of those 6 names, I'd say McHale could actually have the most upside. But I'd doubt they'd target him. Casey's a pretty hot name ATM, seems as if the Clippers job is his if he wants it. If its not Doug Collins, I will be displeased.

QUOTE (Benchwarmerjim @ May 2, 2010 -> 10:27 PM) Mauer's replacement today Wilson Ramos had 4 hits, the fist time a catcher making his debut had 4 hits since like 1900 You could have the entire Twins roster contract the flu and be out of baseball, and they'd still find a way to win.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 2, 2010 -> 08:59 PM) It made no sense. Why would the Angels want to trade a prospect of any value for Konerko when there were better options on the free-agent market who could be had for less $$$ than Konerko. Because Brandon Wood is looking like he can be a AAAA player at best and the Angels have coveted Konerko since after '05 like Kenny did Jones/Pierre/Vizquel.

Quick thought: If the Bulls signed Dirk and he accepted less (honestly, at his age and career earnings, championships may come first) than what his max would be (isn't it like, $20M?) and the Bulls could sign Ray Allen on the cheap, then Rose would have monster assist numbers.
