Stinky Stanky

He was a shopping center developer and we could have seen him sell off players to pay the gas bills when all those shopping centers went bad (like most of them have).?

Doesn’t change anything in my first post. He was a better GM than anything since regardless of his attitude toward the owner or anyone else. I’m out of here.

He acquired a lot of good and better pieces by draft and otherwise to fit around the GOAT he was handed. I respect what he did. Does it matter that he got along with JR? Would you be happier if he didn't? Do you know of any GM's who don't?

If all Krause did was say "yes" to JR's whims, what else would I conclude? Do you say no to your boss a lot? There's such a thing as carrying the cynicism too far.

Are you saying that Reinsdorf scouts, drafts and trades? Seriously?

Jerry Krause is looking less and less like an object of ridicule and more and more like a GM considering what's been trying to do the job since he departed.

Like that great line from A Christmas Story, "Got a whole goddam team of utility infielders." But if you watch the TBS version, it's been cut out. Merry Christmas.

Either way, he went from our gascan to NL whiz when he went to the other league. Anyone remember which old Sox GM always tried to get two for one when he traded a player? Was that Frank Lane or Hemond? Five for one sounds like a winner if that's how these things are graded. Anyone r

Think Juan Agosto.

Bears may have been boring Thursday night, but NU and Illinois were anything but boring today. Two nice wins for the local guys.

As they say in matters of taste, it's a matter of taste. Joe McConnell for my 2 cents, "Old Timer."

And not getting that much playing time because there are better players at his position on the team.

Been seeing this for 25 years. It's gotta be on target sometime, right? Law of Averages don'tcha know..

Rational and welcome. A petunia in an onion patch.

Larrivee was a Packers fan. Rooney was a Cardinals fan. They both wanted to go where their hearts were. Ain't love great?

That Halas story was very informative. I wouldn't call the author unbiased, but if the shoe fits...

Toughest job in baseball. And our needs are more power and less strikeouts, which are pulling in opposite directions. Good luck.

Think it may have had something to do with him being put on waivers?

On the INT you're referencing he threw it behind the target to the DB. The other two were failure to read the defense. Either way the bloom is off the rose with him.

Was being paid on potential and not worth the money to hand out $14M and cross their fingers hoping he remembers how to hit a baseball. My guess is Andrus until the new kid is ready. Can't blame the team and good luck to Tim on a reset for his on and off-field life.

Had the Celtics down 2-0 on their court in the playoffs when Rondo got hurt and then were swept out 4-2.I'm not sure that Coach D is any better a coach than Boylen, as dorky as Boylen may have looked.

He has a nice 3 pt % and can defend a little. These are not the skills of a PF, so he's playing out of position. Plus he looks lost out there and could use a sports shrink right about now. That's one but not all of the reasons the team has no inside presence.

NU is 4-4 with an interim coach and a football program supposedly in tatters. Which is the same number of wins that they had in the last two years under Fitz.

Backup point guard playing at power forward bails them out. There's roster construction for you. Was DeRozan choking on those free throws or just out of gas?
