QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 05:52 PM) No, that was last year. lol. Outside of Taj, there's nobody on this roster with above average athleticism (not counting Rose right now).

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 05:50 PM) well its true isn't it? Isnt Nate younger and more athletic than John Lucas III? Please. The Bulls roster looks like something from 1977. This is one of the least athletic rosters I've ever seen.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 05:37 PM) I think our bench is better. :lolhitting

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 02:33 PM) I wholeheartedly agree that I nailed it. I'm not sure why you brought up such a convoluted "joke" in the first place. I'm not amazed at all that they only got one WS out of all that spending. Spending money like that only puts you in a position to win. They were 1 win away in both 01 and 03, so by winning 2 more games they could have had 3 instead of 1. Two games away in '03. They lost in 6 to the Marlins. But I agree with you (for once) Hibbard.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 03:17 PM) Bulls rumored to be in on Joel Pryzbilla, the Bucks seem to be the most likely suitor though, Dallas also in on him...in my book Prizzy>Asik. This might've been true in 2008. Wow. So (potentially) Pryzbilla, Hinrich, Mohammed, Belinelli and Radmanovic added this offseason. Be afraid NBA. Be very afraid. Jesus. Rose out until at least march. Boozer another year older and more terrible. Rip another year older and a lock to miss at least 25 games. Deng's still got a bum wrist. Welcome back to the days of Eddy Curry, Marcus Fizer, Khalid El Amin and Eddie Robinson, Bulls fans.

I guess the mother of the 6-year old who was killed just miscarried. AND she doesn't even know yet about the death of said 6-year old. That is just f***ing rough.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:15 PM) No, but it's infamous. Oh ok. Anyway, anybody who doesn't like this deal means you somehow, someway value the white sox' farm system. That just isn't acceptable.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:12 PM) Beat me to it So, who goes to the pen and who comes up? My guess is Mitchell comes up as a pinch run, O-Dawg becomes primary IF backup, and Floyd or Humber is traded. Were you around then, Q? Tizzle's Liriano rants were the stuff of legend.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:11 PM) getting youk, liriano,meyers for almost nothing and not hurting the team Yup. It's like KW couldn't f*** up right now even if he wanted to. 2006 Liriano is a thing of the past. But I like this. I really do.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 06:54 PM) Hah! You'd s*** your pants if she came up to you in a bar and spoke to you. I'd bang Joyce Dewitt (today's version) if I were drunk. The body on that other girl is smokin'. But she just looks too old.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 12:24 PM) Well, Cabrera had an offensive WAR of 6.6 in 2010 (lets assume he would have been DH or his defense vs. Paulie's defense would have been a wash) and Kotsay had an offensive WAR of -0.7 as the Sox's primary DH. Put together the delta and it's 7.3 wins. The Sox lost the division by 6 games. So, yeah, major impact. ok please stop (you're totally right by the way). I hate myself for even dredging that up. But I had to correct chw42.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 11:37 AM) The Marlins got absolutely nothing out of that trade. Maybin is the only real Major Leaguer today in that package. Gio and Sweeney are actually productive Major Leaguers. Sweeney is a 4th OF. If he's starting for you anywhere, it's because there's no better option. Gio? Of course. Stud. Nobody thought (especially the white sox) that he'd be this good due to his lack of size. And I can't even remember if Gio was in the deal. Maybin and Miller were consensus blue-chippers at the time.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 11:29 AM) I don't remember, but did we get Swisher before or after that Miggy trade? After. Swisher was the consolation prize.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 11:20 AM) For the first time ever, our lack of prospects truly plagues Kenny Williams. Cabrera, Miguel.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:44 AM) No. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Front-Row-Amy/244541718920363 Yikes. Nice body. But she looks like she's 45.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 06:13 PM) He was also the consensus #1 collegiate player of the year. Beckham wasn't quite at that level, that anyone considered him for the top pick in the first round. True. But everyone thought Alex was done. He finally broke out at age, what, 27? At least there's a recent example of a hyped played who turned it around later than expected.

s***, I'm as cynical as they come. But if brother quinarvy has faith, I shall have faith. Alex Gordon is doing pretty good for himself lately.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 04:29 PM) yep. I was thinking about that the other day. Thanx. Damn, greg. You didn't know how to do that? That's almost as bad as you not knowing Jason is the site owner.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 03:55 PM) Pretty sure I'm allowed to do that, yes. If the Rose-led bulls face heat during that pacers/early boston series I'd feel pretty good. Even would feel good without Noah. Ok, well, if that helps you out. Great. The Bulls, even healthy, can't see the Heat. But if you want to give us Rose while subtracting Bosh, sure. The Bulls have a much better chance. There's nobody to kick Carlos Boozer's ass for the 6th straight postseason.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 03:48 PM) Tell me why this strictly an exception? Also Rip actually had a few good games in that first round scoring 10, 17, 19, and 19...Bogans had a grand total of 2 10+ point games in the whole playoffs the year before. Because recent history says so. We can go back a little further with Prime Duncan/Parker/Manu if you want to

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 03:44 PM) Play much better defense and not try to run with the best running team in the league, for one. Great. So the Bulls would yuck the game up and lose 88-81 instead of the Thunder losing 114-107. The Heat can play both ways.

Adam Dunn will go a week without striking out before a team with Carlos Boozer as it's starting 4 wins a title. Durant/Westrbrook/Harden/Ibaka got their asses handed to them (OKC had homecourt as well). What the hell would the Bulls have done besides play hard and makes the games relatively competitive?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 03:29 PM) I did, and still do. As do many others. Saying there was "no chance" is ridiculous. And people like you are why the Bulls never do anything and are satisfied with being ordinary. Go to Boston, LA or even Dallas and tell their fanbases that Rip will be the difference between losing in the conference finals and getting to the finals and see what happens.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 03:27 PM) The Heat almost blew it against a very old Boston team. I agree, counting on a Bulls team to be healthy is about as crazy as saying they are a lock to win a title, but if they were healthy, they had a decent shot. People just mention Rose being hurt, but Deng was hurt, Noah was hurt and Rip was hurt. Basically the only guy who remained healthy was the guy who always gets hurt, Boozer. True. But they were without Bosh for practically all of the second round and most of the conference finals, making their road to the finals more difficult than it had to be.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 03:18 PM) Bulls made it to the ECF with Keith Bogans as their starting SG, having a "healthy" Richard Hamilton for the playoffs could have made the difference. Its not like the Bulls were blown out in all 4 games. Beat me to it. Yes I do believe he could have very well been a difference maker. Oh my goodness. Would you homers get with the times? KG/Pierce/Allen. Kobe/Gasol/Bynum. LeBron/Wade/Bosh. Durant/Westbrook/Harden. These are the teams getting to the finals/winning it. Maybe in 1994 Rose/Deng/Boozer would've been enough. But not today. Yes, I know what Dallas did in '11. Exception, not rule. QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 03:19 PM) How about an injured bosh? Ok, so rose doesn't go down and Bosh still gets hurt? I guess that would've give them a better chance. Does that make you feel any better?
