QUOTE (flavum @ May 5, 2014 -> 10:25 AM) They should play 6 games. Not because of a "rivalry". Just because they're close in proximity. Make at least one of the series a weekend. That adds more juice. And once every 10-20 years, play on opening day or end the season with a 3-game series. That would add some variety to the head-to-head. Man I could see a game like this being played at the end of season where a team could play spoiler. You could probably really see some tempers flare.

Man I don't know why people would fight over a baseball game. I know alcohol probably played a role but it's just a fuggin' game.

I actually care about the series for two reasons. 1) I love betting scrub fans that the SOX will win it. Unfortunately, I lost a good bit of money last year but I feel I should be able to recoup some this year 2) I love seeing the scrubs suffer Scrub fans like to act like they don't care about a crosstown beat down but in reality, they do.

I know this is a horrible comparison but didn't Dayan's HR today mimic the the grand slam walk off that Abreu had the Friday before?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 4, 2014 -> 06:22 PM) Don't want to burst your bubble but "a quality start is a statistic for a starting pitcher defined as a game in which the pitcher completes at least six innings and permits no more than three earned runs." Rienzo pitched 4 2/3 innings gave up 7 hits 4 walks and 3 earned runs. Amazingly the 2 HR's he gave up to Kottaras had no one on. Yeah the way he was walking people and falling behind he would have given up more runs too. That asshole has to throw strikes.

Viciedo did his job he's gone.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 4, 2014 -> 02:21 PM) Gillaspie was 1-4, HR, 2 Ks in his rehab game. Should be back Wednesday night. Could use his bat. He was driving in some big runs with clutch hits and sac flys.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 4, 2014 -> 01:54 PM) How was the mojo of the team when they beat TB 3 out of 4? Gordon not the only one not hitting. Shouldn't be batting 2nd but blaming him for team struggling is silly. I was being facetious. But Beckham should be hitting f***ing last.

Beckham has messed up the mojo of this team. I'm convinced.

I liked Leury thinking there... I have to get in scoring position for De Aza because Beckham won't hit s***.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 4, 2014 -> 12:45 PM) The book is out on Beckham. He can't hit fastballs, curves, change ups, sliders, and knuckleballs. Throw him one of those and you are golden He should probably return to that crouch stance of his. He did hit .300 like that.

Good thing he rested Semien, sounds like the kid could use a break.

Semien is really reeling these days.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2014 -> 07:05 PM) It's really going to suck having to watch Mr. Below 100 bat the next two weeks. He's fine as a defensive replacement, but JorDanks just cannot hit. Look at his stance. That tells you all you need to know about him.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 3, 2014 -> 06:41 PM) Fantastic effort by the offense so far. No clutch hitting as of lately. Gillaspie's bat could be really used as of now.

Yeah Marcus couldn't do much with that but you gotta run with someone who has a f***ing chance.

Get'em tomorrow. Danks just doesn't have it anymore. Looking forward to see if Carroll and Rienzo can keep up their decent pitching.

Short and quick, you gotta protect there both Eaton and Beckham.

Are the Bulls getting Melo?

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ May 2, 2014 -> 03:33 PM) Man. Next Year is Gonna Be Awesome When We Dont Have All This Rother Dead Waight On The Teem. Dunn Gone GIDPK Gone PAULEEN-O Gawn Neeto wont need to be on the 25 mens rosters. 291 DAYS 10 HOURS 26 MINUTES 35 SECONDS until pitchers and catchers report! POTY

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 2, 2014 -> 03:01 PM) The universe is a mysterious place I rather Semien get more ABs than Beckham but whatever. I'm tired of Hawk slobbing on his knob too. It's just borderline f***ed up.

Why Beckham in the 2 hole?

I'm still interviewing with places but that one is probably the place I do want to work. I'll probably get an offer soon so I wanted to give them first dibs but oh well. Here is the kicker, I interviewed with this place about 2 years ago and didn't get the gig. The people that interviewed me this time around remembered me. I know since it's a pharmaceutical company they'll have to DEA background checks and such but you would think they would run those after they extend an offer.

I miss Gillaspie, the guy knew how to put the ball in play properly.
