  1. I've said this since the offseason. Don't give up on Tork. He's capable of hitting 30 HR because he already has and that his failure last year was mental. I know a lot of people here wanted to get rid of him, but I didn't want to give up yet. I wanted to see what he had in him. When he decided not to come and work on things in the offseason, my thought was that the guy just needed to step away and clear his head and stop listening to 10 different teachers. It seems to have worked. I mean, he's going to go into a slump at some point, but when you START like this, you start believing you can do it and last year, I think mentally he couldn't picture himself succeeding because it was such a severe funk. I'm happy for him. We survived starting vs. the Dodgers on the road now. But if we can get Tork and Mize to be just 75-80% of what we expect from a 1/1, we're going to be pretty happy this Summer.
  2. The way the White Sox play baseball is embarassing. So, Taco Bell's Deluxe box is now just the 'Luke Box. Millennials are too lazy for the De ? Oh wait, they can't spell it. Kris Draper on the broadcast to give excuses why the Wings haven't made the playoffs in a decade.
  3. It's ESPN's Breaking News about Alex Ovechkin. How will this record effect the Dallas Cowboys this upcoming season?
  4. Audio and Video constantly go out of synch. So annoying
  5. Jobe is a bust. Fire Avila.
  6. Greene needs a rest 8 games in? He can't DH? Why is Carpenter batting SIXTH and Margot Clean Up? I know it's the White Sox, but come on man.
  7. I do want the Pacers - because the two teams hate each other and that'll be fun. We haven't had anything close to the Wings-Avs series' for over a decade now. Pistons-Pacers could be like that. Stupid schedule maker didn't have these two teams play the entire second half - and they're in the same division. Just odd.
  8. Playoffs Clinched ! What an accomplishment. And doing it without Ivey most of the year and without Cade the last couple of weeks. Stellar job, J.B. - Coach Of The Year right there. Need to keep Malik around a couple more years. Imagine how much better they could have been if Fontecchio played like last year.
  9. I agree. More than Hutch though. They lost several guys, it's amazing they went 15-2. I think they'll get there within the next 2 seasons.
  10. Washington Capitals - Ovechkin has a sore back - will miss Islanders game........ (Just kidding)
  11. How lame would it be if he breaks the record on an empty net goal?
  12. Only milestone I think I saw was Sammy Sosa breaking Rudy York's monthly HR record at Tiger Stadium -- the night they had the Stanley Cup there and you could take a picha with it. When Cecil was going for HR #50, I went to a game and Ron Cameron (yes, that Ron Cameron) asked if I was there to see the 50th and I said "I'm here to see Chet Lemon hit #5". And Chettie did it !!!!! I love that guy.
  13. I really want to see him score 1 more in the next game and a half. I want him and 99 to have the exact same number of goals in the same number of games. That would be cool
  14. Time to call up Ben Malgeri. He's hitting .750 in the minors. That's incredible. Do you realize that if he continues to hit like this all season he's going to hit..........what..........750 ? Why do we have to suffer Kreidler? It's Malgeri Time !
  15. Oh, Gretzky is the overall better player, but Ovie's a better goal scorer. Points-wise, nobody's catching Gretzky. I think Howe is better than both of them.
  16. Maeda is pointless. Just do it already, bring Foley back up.
  17. Dirks is really good. He's the best color guy they've had since Rod Allen (Sorry, I liked Rod Allen, he entertained me, made me laugh a little).
  18. Not a great throw by Javy, but Colt's gotta make that play. He's a DH I feel bad for their catcher. He got hit in the jimmies two pitches in a row. J-Can is trying to kill his catcher.
  19. Not just the Tigers, but not having the Dodgers and Padres play until June? That's ridiculous.
  20. Horrible scheduling overall. Tigers are lucky they got out of it at 2-4.
  21. I think that trade for Milton, may be an absolutely brilliant move for the Cowboys. While Dak doesn't suck, I just don't feel like he's a winner. I think Milton has a chance to be special - in the right place.
  22. 162 game schedule in the 32-team, 8 4-team division MLB. All based on 3-game series 18 games vs. your division (18x3) = 54 6 games vs. all the other teams in your leauge (12x6) = 72 12 games vs. your "buddy" team in the other league - the Pirates for us (12x1) = 12 6 games vs. 4 other interleague teams = 24 54 + 72 + 12 + 24 = 162 It's perfect ! Let's go ahead and add Nashville and Salt Lake City and move the Rays to Montreal. Done.
  23. Picture makes him look like a serial killer. That smile is kind of creepy
