QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 01:17 PM) Thome and Mauer most likely won't gain anything form the park, since they have very good opposite field power and usually don't pull their home runs. It wouldn't matter with Thome. He hits them oppo, pull, etc.. Mauer I agree with. He is mostly an oppo guy.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 01:42 PM) Pierre -- LF Ramirez -- SS Rios -- CF Konerko -- 1B Quentin -- DH AJ -- C Jones -- RF Viciedo -- 3B Beckham -- 2B Floyd -- RHP Whoever was guessing, nailed it. Looks like the outfield defense is going to be very good tonight.

Short with his 14th homer. Kid must be eating his Wheaties or something, as he's improved his HR per AB each month.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 01:14 AM) He doesn't see a penny of that luxury tax money. He'll make 7 million. The Magic will have to pay him 7 million and the NBA 7 million. Thats why I said "counting tax of course." Sorry I didn't say that as good as I should have (my mistake there), but I know/meant he will make 7 (or technically 8+ since it is front loaded) mil.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 12:33 AM) Edit Dos: Magic bench players have to really, really hate Otis Smith. Both Gortat and Redick got decent offers from other clubs to start to only be (probably in JJ's case) matched and be a bench player. It really is a dumb business decision, but their owner is rich so he can do these kind of things. Orlando is now very deep once again and is still a top 3 team in the East. Funny to see Redick will only make 2 million less (counting tax of course) than Dwight Howard this comming season to be a backup. Lets hope if we sign Brewer, Gar can somehow net another sniper to pair with Rose. (Korver alone won't get it done)

I can't believe, assuming we win this one, we would have ANOTHER 10 (maybe +) game winning streak.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 06:23 PM) Looks like Redick (as expected) has been matched. http://nba.fanhouse.com/2010/07/15/magic-t...fer-from-bulls/ Expect to see a Brewer signing by the end of the weekend. Almost a forgone conclusion that was going to be the case. Shocked so many posters here were penciling him at SG when it was a longshot. Still though, Bulls still need another sniper to pair with Rose. You can't go into the year with just Korver. Brewer is nice, but he is mostly a defensive stopper with the occasional knockdown 10-15 foot jumper, not a long range guy. I hate to throw Roger Mason on there, but baring a trade, he might be the best option left on the market.

Only beef I have is Danks runs should be unearned. Other than that, outstanding win. Go get em tomorrow Gavin!

Thank god. (BTW, I still think Danks runs should be UNearned.)

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 04:38 PM) Booo... change it already.... It's back. Thanks Jeremy.

Well.... after thinking it over, (and pressure from some other posters. ) I will like to indeed, change my name back to my original name when I first started here since the man is back. (though who knows how long he will be back here, but he is back) J.Reedfan8 please.

Jack Skille signs a one year 600K deal with he Hawks. http://blogs.suntimes.com/blackhawks/2010/...o_one-year.html Qualifying offer was 900K, 2-way deal. Instead he signed a cap-friendly $600k deal to force himself into the lineup. Smart move. He'll be an UFA in 2011.

As I said a week ago, I fully expect Redick to remain a Magic. (though I still think it's ridiculous having a guy making 14 million, with the tax included, on your bench but hey I'm not a billionaire)

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 04:50 PM) Pretty sure ESPN anchors call him that. Ya, he even had a commercial for it.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 12:33 PM) They said they were going to take to Friday just to tie up the Bulls money because that's what competitors do. That was the deadline, though KC had heard differently. so we might have to wait an extra day.

Konerko.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 10:24 PM) I could have sworn you were a left ear man. I prefer arm pits myself.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 10:43 PM) The NBA and Miami media sure swept under the rugs some reports about Wade's womanizing and drug use from his former business partner. Oh believe me, I still haven't forgotten he banged Star Jones.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 09:37 PM) Also, the Bulls made an offer to Raja Bell (2 years, "in excess of 8 mil) but he ultimately chose Utah for 3/10. Hmmm... Looks like Wesley Matthews is definitely going to be a Trailblazer.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 10:29 PM) As opposed to other women? Stop stereo-typing women. Though she is on another level of a b**** that is deemed illegal. Andy Roddick is still a lucky bastard.

I like one of the quotes from a poster on realgm.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 09:45 PM) Derrick Rose, a guy who is always shy to be boastful: I might have just jizzed. This is the same guy who guaranteed the last playoff spot (and we would be facing Cleveland to boot) so you better not go against that man's word. That would do wonders for the Bulls this season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 10:09 PM) I'd like to nominate Brooklyn Decker as #1. All in favor? I agree! Shes nice to look at. Supposedly when the cameras/lights aren't on her though, she is a real b****.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) Surgery was successful. Very good news. Doctors actually said it went alot better than they even thought. Sucks to know though that we won't see Peavy till next year.

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 07:38 PM) Hello Joe Borchard I was pissed we didn't send him in the deal instead of Reed. Stated many times since I've posted here, I was never a fan of his. Thank god he gave us Matt Thornton.
