Stinky Stanky

Long ago Sox GM Trader Frank Lane was a master at trading mediocrity to get better mediocrity. We could use someone like him right here. Got mediocrity in bunches.

Their website's biffed up, for sure. Mrs. Stanky and I got scheduled for Tuesday (today) on Saturday at 6 AM when they put the openings up, but our second shots are at different (but closeby) stores than the first. I got the Moderna jab and no adverse reaction 9 hours later.

Right you are. The best things he does are probably the little things that don't show in the box score (positioning, screening) that he picked up from Robin Lopez who was a master at them. What we need in the middle is someone with, for want of a better word, an ass, who doesn't get pushed around at will. Playing Young with Kornet actually seemed to work a bit last night, even though neither guy could guard Joker or has an identifiable ass. ?

He says he's a power forward, he has the size of a power forward and the team is playing him out of position. Most of that is not his fault.

Unmatched clubs are not the stigma they were 40 years ago. If you buy what you need, when you need it, you leave open the option of spending big money if you find out that you're really good later on. Lee Trevino once said "It's not the arrow, it's the Indian." (sorry, PC police) ?

Good point but you have to trust your teammates sometime. If there are three guys on you, two of your teammates are open.

My far right In-laws about to drive 35 miles to get jabbed. Go figure.

They got him out by through the windshield! No jaws of life per LA Times. Hoping he recovers. Ben Hogan did from worse.

You need to compare what the 2 kids would gain by claiming themselves with what you would lose by not claiming their exemptions. But it seems like you know that.

Can't guard a supercenter with midgets. They competed despite a missing in action three point game, although Wendell did hit one and that's got to be a big part of his future game. They look like an NBA team and they're not a waste of time to watch. Faint praise is better than no praise, right?

He lets Coby bring the ball up before he hands to Zach to initiate the offense. It lets Zach rest a little. Sato lacks the ability to penetrate, so he's not a starting PG either. I wish Arch had a different body. He's got the skills.

I hope you're living up to your description and being sarcastic. The thought of Jerry trying to be tactful is too much to contemplate.

The turbines failing is the least significant cause of the TX power outages, but for some reason they're getting the most publicity. How come they don't freeze up in Iowa?

Cutting to the chase there, did you. Denzel's court awareness always impresses me, I'm happy he's getting floor time, finally. I haven't posted that they're not prepared to play the modern NBA game for a while, but they were tonight. Sustainable?

The best of the best get to a certain point, get a little older, get a little more tired, and get formulaic about everything. Thus, the handing out a card with some sayings on it comment has merit. He wasn't overhyped for a long time, but time took its toll on him. Thanks for a job well done, but now it's Katz time. I'm as positive about the change as an old pessimist Sox Fan can be right now.

I'm not saying it was easy, but the ability to genetically map the virus made creating a vaccine a new ball game. Wonder what humankind would look like or if it would even exist without the near-extinction events which influenced our evolution? Sorry I got so deep, I know it's a sports fan site. ?

Remember how we used to get on Coach Boylen for not saving a time out at the end of games? I can't hear ya.

Man pills. Embarrassing. Fail on 4th down and you turn the ball over on the 8 yard line or closer. Kick off after a FG and the Bucs get it at the 20 or 25. This should haunt Coach Mc forever.

Tough read, this thread. Seeing us attack each other, not pleasant. But funny, at times. Gotta love White Sox fans.

Great defender, on and off ball. Good penetrator, but not an instinctive passer once he got inside. Almost as tough as Sloan. Speaking of Derrick, this was not a triumph for the FO. He basically fell on their heads from out of the sky.

I think of him as a scorer, but he was better than Rodgers. By a lot.

Identifying a point guard has been a problem since forever with this team. Passed up HOF Walt Frazier to draft Clem Haskins, a SG they tried and failed to convert to PG. Drafted the terrible Tate Armstrong by passing on Mo Cheeks. So it's not only Gar/Pax. Since the guys that played with Jordan (Kerr, Armstrong, Paxson, Harper) didn't have PG responsibilities most of the time, is the best PG they've ever had Guy Rodgers from Season One?

Thigh bruises are nasty stuff. It's long ago, but the toughest Bull of all, Jerry Sloan, was out a similar time with the same thing. (Admitting my age again)

LOL. I thought it was Khalid and the Web confirmed. He was somethin', wasn't he? 5th pick in the draft! I'm holding off senility for another year. Left the Bulls after a season and embarked on a years long playing tour of what I'd describe as the Holy Roman Empire. The most important point is that we're discussing Coby by comparing the two and the FO recognizes it, judging by the trade rumors.
