I'd vote A-Rod in over Ortiz.

Things to watch for today: If Buehrle stays on the ballot. If Bonds, Clemens, and Ortiz get in. Ortiz getting in basically invalidates the steroid argument. Bonds and Clemens massively invalidate that, but it also murders the character argument hampering Schilling and Vizquel (Bonds being a domestic abuser, Clemens grooming a 15-year-old). I'm definitely not arguing for Schilling or Vizquel here. Like I said earlier, Cap Anson probably doesn't get in if he's voted on today. Roberto Alomar is banned from baseball and wouldn't be allowed in. Fun fact: Fergie Jenkins, Willie Mays, and Mickey Mantle were all banned from baseball. Jenkins because a customs search in Canada found him with drugs. Mays and Mantle because - well after their playing careers - they worked at casinos. Jenkins got reinstated by an arbiter. The following commissioner reinstated Mays and Mantle.

At this point I'd prefer Arci to Matt Thomas, what with all the injuries.

If the Bulls can get another hardship player, I'd honestly bring back Arci or Dunn. Arci knows the system and is basically just Prototype 3rd String PG. Dunn could bring defense.

The fact that the account asking "source?" is suspended takes the wind out of this, but:

Give me Uribe. Because I literally know no one else.

My union and employer just went through two rounds where no deadline was established and no strike needed to happen. CBA negotiations happen all the time without big time drama.

Because then the owners wouldn't make as much money.

Oh yeah, that's some wack shit, same for Jrue.

Just to clarify, the tweet I linked is from the Executive Director of Content Strategy for the White Sox and Bulls.

Can excuse the donut thing in retrospect when it turned out to be a scheduled tweet with unfortunate timing. That shit stings - stuff like that easily could slip through a crack, especially on a weekend. However, the other stuff, I agree.

I know DeMar sites Vuc as a reason for him being here, but dude needs to justify it with his own production. God damn. Also, Bucks digging the hole:

I think he liked Chicago until all the drama exploded. Then he wasn't hot on the NBA.

"Niko? How would you like a return to Chicago?"

I sad chuckled.
