QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 11:37 AM) Chris Bosh just landed in Chicago. QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 11:40 AM) KC Johnson reports the Bulls will be meeting with him. Sweet!

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 11:26 AM) Oh my, Bucks reportedly close to re-signing Salmons for 5 yr, 39 million per David Aldridge. Good.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 09:27 AM) Yuck. Steeger is seriously not that good and he really doesn't have a nose for the net... a fear of the net seems more accurate. Man.. I dunno dude had alot of potential. Sure he turned the puck over at times, but his hands are incredible. He is actually younger than Stalberg too and not sure I like the reports about Stalberg's hockey I.Q. (and even from Leaf fans but his speed is amazing). Stan is banking on a late blossom for Stalberg, whereas Versteeg is already further along in development. Wasn't worth 3 mil though, so I know he had to go.

Man we are gonna be playing some kids next season. Should be exciting! There are reports the Hawks are at or around 55.2 mil. (Bowman is staying quiet about it of course) That Connelly kid looks ready from all reports so... Sharp (3.9) - Toews (6.3) - Kane (6.3) Brouwer (1.025) - Bolland (3.375) - Hossa (5.275) Stalberg/Persson (.850) - Reasoner (1.15) - Kopecky (1.2) Bickell (.675) - Dowell (.525) - Burish/Skille (.800-.900) Keith (5.538) - Seabrook (3.5) Campbell (7.143) - Hjalmarsson (2.0-3.0*) Connelly (.875) - Hendry/Denis-Pepin/UFA (.800-.850*) Niemi (2.0-3.0*) Crawford (.800) ? (assuming no Ladd, Beach and some others not called up, estimated guesses on RFA salaries, etc..)

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 09:26 PM) anyone? 1B/OF with pop from the left side. Current slash: .284/.356/.449/.805 Don't Look Ace! I like your thinking! (btw if you didn't get the joke, I've mentioned him a couple of times on the Cubs thread and one on a thread here. Like his game, think he is very, very underrated.

"Thats a matt abbatacola right there."

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:21 AM) Not 1 of the 4 analysts on NBA Fastbreak picked Chicago as LBJ's landing spot, two minutes ago. 2 NY's, 2 CLE. Best news today. Makes me think LeBron to Chicago has alot more legs than given credit.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 10:19 PM) Real Gm reporting Wade has given up in trying to lure LBJ to Miami. It will be a 2 team race, imo, between the Bulls & Cavs. Though still another rumor, but where is Steve to gloat?!

Sad to see Versteeg go, but I wasn't as attached to him as Buff. Hopefully he can help Kessel and others from the Leafs and at least he is gonna play in Canada. Good trade for both sides. I'm assuming this means the Hawks now are done pending on the RFA guys?

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 10:13 PM) Depends what you call news. The rumor mill bulls*** machine is about to go into a whole near gear. Breaking News: Knicks and Nets step inside LeBron's house to chat.

Meh.. Steve will probably be right at the end, but still you can't assume what a player thinks or is gonna do when you don't know the guy.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) he is not being traded And the doc has spoken. (just in case anyone doesn't know, he is one of the better inside sources here)

Allow me Steven.... QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 10:27 AM) I hate all of you.

My god... That has got to be the biggest settlement I've ever seen in any divorce. EDIT: Just checked, yep that is the biggest as far as celebrities.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 03:35 PM) as I said earlier today, b-r is f***ing amazing Well your f***ing not amazing so there.

Justin Greene went 0-3, 2 Ks in his Birmingham debut.

Just to add fuel to the horrible rumors fire... Reina If Chris Bosh wants his six-year max contract, it looks like Bryan Colangelo wants Joakim Noah or David Lee in return. Not taking Beasley.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 03:07 PM) He basically s*** all over this website in the public. Well it was soxnet, but close. I'm stunned with Mike though as I thought Jason would (and should) have the biggest beef with him along with Mario.

There were fans in Boston that booed Manny when he was announced to bat for the Dodgers IIRC.

As Rowand has said, I'm not believing anything until said player has signed at the dotted line or if a sign and trade is finalized.

Viciedo 2 days in a row?!?! Rejoice!

Doc has decided to come back after all for the Celtics. (epic fail report from the Boston Globe) So the big 3 may be happy to hear that.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 02:35 PM) I still want to know why Geoff Blum doesn't get a lifetime pass. His homer is what basically turned a potentially longer series into a sweep. I still think A.J.'s "heads up" baserunning was the biggest turning point in the sox run. He doesn't do that, and the Angels potentially take a 2-0 series lead and who knows what could of happened. (especially in player's mindsets) Angels fans STILL b**** about that play till this day.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 02:23 PM) My friend just sent me a text about Melo, saying he wants the Bulls to trade Deng/Taj/JJ/Picks for Melo, then sign LeBron to form some sort of crazy super team. If that is the same friend who didn't want LeBron to begin with, then he should be taken to an alley and be beaten up heavily.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 02:21 PM) This is the same reason we have 50 year old men walking around who would proudly blow Mike Singletary if he dropped his pants and pointed to his dong. I LOL'd.
