As far as I'm concerned, Broadway is very legit. And I mean very legit. He's got a shot to be a Radke-esk pitcher who gives you a good number of innings and keeps you in a lot of games (although rarely, will he completely carry you to a win).

I've long felt the Bulls have the athletes to run a high tempo offense. The question is really do we have the natural point guard to do it. I don't know if Hinrich is that guy and I don't know if the Bulls could find that guy in the draft. However, isn't Calderon a free agent. Could it be possible to work something out to get him in and try to run a high tempo offense under D'Antonio. I'd like it. The only guy that probably would'nt fit so much in the system would be Drew Gooden (and obviously Aaron Gray).

Tribune indicated the same.

TCSN: Would A Change at the Top Benefit the White Sox By IamShack

AJ won't walk. That much I can guarantee. He'll single though.

Aj is gonna go with an opposite field slap single.

Did they intentionally walk Paulie?

The Sox have lost a whole heck of a lot of games this season that a good baseball team would have won. Despite all that, they are still shockingly above .500 and that is with a couple key guys in the offense struggling most of the season. Honestly, I don't know if that is a good thing (because these guys have to be better baseball players in the sense of execution) or a bad thing (in the sense that we will just end up seeing more and more of this and continue to blow games). Bottom line there are at least 4-5 games this year where I can safely say the Sox lost the game, not the opposition wining the game and that is really inexcusable to have happen this early in the season (this quite possibly will be the 2nd against the Orioles and I truly believe we did the same thing in the Wang game against the Yanks where the pen completely failed). It stinks because this club could very well have the best record in baseball and you can't just give games away (because those games will bite you in the butt).

What is the current situation here in the 9th? Tie Game, how many outs and whose on for the O's?

Jon Rauch was the laziest piece of crap while in the Sox system. He rubbed the organization the completely wrong way and thought he was better than everyone else. I give him credit for picking the pieces up and turning into a succesful reliever. Hell, there was a point in time where many experts predicted cy young's for him (than he tore his labrum and never fully recovered from that).

QUOTE (KevinM @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 08:41 AM) So are the bloggers all set or is there any way I can still pen a few things? You can definately pen some things. Let me know if you prefer getting messages with ideas or writing suggestions (kind of more structured) or if you prefer to find topics you like an write about them.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 08:30 AM) You mean we won't hear the crap we hear from ESPN? Like Mike Golic saying this morning the bears D is aging? Exactly...I figure who better to come up with opinions on moves/transactions/random opinion pieces than die-hard fans who follow a team on a day to day basis. ESPN/Tribune may have the connections we don't, but there are a lot of die-hards that understand the game as much as they do and happen to follow there franchise a lot more (which means they can get into discussions that a general analyst can't).

QUOTE (rangercal @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 08:55 AM) I like the clean look. I was just commenting on the apperance from Firefox. I think your network has the ability to become a Chicago Version of Real GM. The goal for the front page is to first and foremost provide all of the members with unique content and perspectives that are different than what you see on ESPN or the Tribune (we won't be able to do game recaps like them, but we the fans, have a very good knowledge of the game and an understanding of the franchise and can hit on topics that maybe a general fan isn't as interested in, but a die-hard fan is really interested in). We also hope to eventually expand and have some cool multimedia stuff on the front-page as well as player interviews. I hope the front page will continue to evolve and the other network sites will continue to grow and that in the end, this will become a leading sports network in Chicago (ie, a place where the die-hards go to get news/info/perspective/interaction).

I really loved that draft. Angelo did a tremendous job going with need picks early on and than getting agressive and taking some nice looking athletes (with the plethora of picks they had, he had a little leverage to get a little riskier in the latter rounds and hopefully it will pay off). Bowman could turn into a stellar pick if he can get healthy. He's got great size and speed for a CB. Kellen Davis is a tremendous athlete too. I don't know how the Bears plan on using him, but to get an athlete like that when they did, I tip my cap (he is one of the late round picks in the entire draft who has the raw abilities to be an impact type of pick...albeit the odds are obviously stacked against him). I wonder if the Bears try him out on the edge as opposed to TE (although having him develop and eventually replace Clark wouldn't be a bad idea either). He isn't the blocker Gilmore was, but with time he can be a very good blocker as well as a legitimate receiving target as well.

Although I will get it fixed...I swear. Ranger, when you say it in IE did the site look better, or at least better than 1997. I'm not going to say we built a super fancy site, we went with the clean look that is really easy to update which we hope makes it easier to provide as much edgy content on the Chicago Sports clubs.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 06:12 AM) Bingo. Thanks Ya, It looks horrid in firefox. I'd like to figure out why, but the stylesheet/css is not picking up in FireFox, yet it works on Opera, IE and everything else I've tried. It is really frustrating the hell out of me. Oh and I am dead serious...IE is now better than FireFox. I was FireFox fan boy #1 for a long time, but slowly firefox has just gotten crappier, imo. I have far more errors surfing the net on Fox than I do on IE. Plus ever site works on IE, many don't work on firefox.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 08:27 AM) You slept with Jordan4life. Who hasn't...ah f***....better get tested. Friend called me up, said I decided to start a new trend called slap dancing...was dancing with random people and than would playfully smack them. How I didn't get punched in the face is beyond me. I also apparently got tipped a few times with chicks putting dollar bills in my boxers as I apparently did a stripper dance out on the patio. I know this because I woke up this morning and had a couple dolalr bills in my boxers.

Woke up...looked at my phone...saw a text from my best buddy saying...you threw up on my shoe. Oh christ....what a horrid night last night was. I don't even f***ing know what happened.

http://www.talkchicagosports.com/blog/?p=22 TCSN's take on the selection.

Hardy makes sense. Good pick. Henne will be a Bear.

Cowboys have no idea what to expect from PacMan and Anthony Henry/Newman are both 30 or older. Makes sense to me, given that they really don't have any major needs. I'm wondering when the run on WR's happens.

Set up Alex. I'll be blogging on the Bears draft most of the day (until I leave to get hammered for my bday...than wake up again tomorrow to do some blogging and probably some yackin).

http://www.talkchicagosports.com/blog/?p=21 My take on it.

I'm guessing Rashard if they keep the pick.
