When did J.B. Shuck become a hitting machine?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) Conley stays with Grizz 5/153M Alrighty then That is still just mind boggling hours later. Mike f***ing Conley gets 153 mil.

Hassan Whiteside is staying in Miami.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 08:06 PM) God damn I feel bad for him Year I was not happy when I heard this. Kid literally worked his ass off (physically and mentally) to get back here and then this happens.

Going to be fun to watch the ridiculous contracts handed out. Lucic for example is gonna get PAID.

For you hi8is.

Absolutely rooting like hell for this kid.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jun 29, 2016 -> 03:19 PM) Makes the Toews/Kane contracts uglier. That's a heck of a contract for Tampa Bay. Yup. Even with the no state tax, T and K are making more. But both are still the better, more accomplished players. Crazy day for the NHL today and it's not even July 1st yet.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 29, 2016 -> 05:24 AM) For the first time in 12 years, here's a hi8is started game thread. Nice.. funny thing is, I considered making one this year for the first time in 8 years myself.

Nice night for the kid Alfaro. One of the Sox signings a couple of years back.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 10:34 AM) He's 19. I'll worry when he's a bit older. He was a lot better in his short stint in GF last year fron all accounts. Hopefully he isn't too jacked up mentally.

Pat Summitt just passed away. Only 64. Wow.

Great Falls as a team struck out 18 times in that game. Billings starting pitcher Santillan (2nd round pick of the Reds in '15, nasty stuff) had 12 of them in only 4.2 innings.

Great for Shawzie. Almost making as much as his buddy Bicks. He's got his 2 cup rings, might as well get yourself set for life. Not bad for a 5th round pick passed over twice.

Courtney Hawkins is playing like a man possessed lately. 4th multi hit game in his last 5 games.

Sox 10th round pick Zach Remillard and 27th round pick Mike Morrison are playing right now for Coastal Carolina in the CWS on ESPN. Game 1 if anyone is interested. Just caught one of Remillard's at bats.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 27, 2016 -> 03:05 PM) Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 34s34 seconds ago ESPN sources say Pau Gasol, as expected, officially notified the Bulls today that he's declining his 2016-17 option and going to free agency Gar should've been gone after he didn't trade Gasol. Just awful.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 27, 2016 -> 02:29 PM) And I'm saying Davidson would be a mess, and I'd rather see Coats over Garcia and leave Davidson in Charlotte. But that's just my view. Eh, that's a little over the top. He will probably hit well in a short time, but I don't think he's a rest of the season answer. I'm rooting for Davidson though. Kid has held his own in the big leagues before with Arizona.

DeBrincat falling into the Hawks lap is outstanding.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 07:33 PM) That why we got rid of Derrick? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

Great trade from Bowman.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 07:34 PM) Yes, let's compare him to the best shooter of all time. Steph averaged 6 assists as a rookie while playing with Monta Ellis. Not remotely the same thing. Sigh.. not comparing their shooting Joe, stay with me. I was comparing the question marks about running the point, and yes Steph had those same question marks. More of a small SG, weak defensively, etc.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 07:22 PM) A lot of guys are gifted athletes. He needs to do something besides dunk and do a decent job shooting 3's to be a top guy on a contender. He has the tools you can work with though. Not gonna write off a kid that young just yet. Steph Curry had the same issues coming out about learning to play the point and he was getting 36 minutes as a rookie the same age as LaVine.The only things I question with LaVine is his basketball I.Q. and if he cares enough to be passible defensively.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 07:14 PM) That would have been awful for the Bulls. LaVine is a 6th man on a legit team. Well, maybe not because JR Smith and Richard Jefferson just started for the champs, but I don't see him being a key contributor. He's 21. Way too early to be saying that. Kid is a very gifted athlete. Now, obviously that's not saying much since a lot of athletes bust, but the upside is much bigger than a 6th man.

Thibs with the troll job.
