We can't watch Bulls games?
qwerty replied to Jordan4life_2007's topic in Alex’s Olde Tyme Sports Pub
This what is says on nba.com under their frequently asked question section for league pass. If I want to see my home team, should I purchase NBA LEAGUE PASS? No, NBA LEAGUE PASS is intended for people who want to see games other than their home team. Local games are usually available on your regional sports network or over-the-air station. -
I agree, but they may feel they should get something for him rather than nothing. But from that story it seems they will not be moving brees.
-
They didn't get rivers and give him a ridiculous contract not to play.

Ya, only if you have comcast you can view the games until they reach an agreement. Cheat knows more about this than i do. I remember he posted something about this earlier in the week. -

Bulls won 103-100. Here is the boxscore. Gordon looked terrible all game and went 4-18. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=241015004 -
We may not like jimenez but he is a better player than guzman.

Athletics declined LHP Chris Hammond's $3 million option for 2005. Hammond posted another sub-3.00 ERA in 2004, but just like in 2003 under Joe Torre, he was pushed into mop-up duty by a manager who never fully trusted him. A lesser team will pay him $1.5 million-$2 million to work as a setup man next season. From Rotoworld. The sox should look into hammond.

I would not mind him at all as long as he does not close. He is an ideal set-up man.
-
They are looking to resign him to a smaller deal. He is also contemplating retirement.

I am not a big fan of stephen king but the Gunslinger series is excellent. The last book of the series just came out and it is insane from what i have read so far.

Does not seem like he is gonna be moved. http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/canep...1s15canepa.html What with the suddenly ascending Chargers about to fly to Atlanta without a plane, the talk this week has swirled around Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, and what might have been. But while Vick could be a Charger, he is not. Drew Brees is. And Brees is going to remain one. For now. Imagine that. I realize rumors are the mother's milk of Web sites, chat rooms and radio talk shows. But the one that's been going ear-to-ear – about Brees being traded to some quarterback-needy franchise before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline – is preposterous. Now. It's a crazy world, the NFL. Brees has become an overnight commodity, but one that can't be traded. It's sexy, tremendous gossip. But the Chargers can't do it. At this point in the season, moving Brees would be monumentally stupid. And although the Chargers hardly have been fraught with Nobel laureate-envy over the years, General Manager A.J. Smith has not flunked remedial football. When the season started, it made nothing but sense. It still was making sense a few weeks ago, when Brees, already waist-deep in quicksand, struggled in consecutive losses to the Jets and Broncos. But stuff happens. The Chargers are 3-2 and have won two consecutive games in the same season for the first time since 2002. So you should dump the quarterback? I'll be the first to admit I haven't been Brees' champion or his Boswell, so it would be easy for me to say: "Trade him now, while he's worth something." Especially when the franchise isn't going to get anything for him after the deadline. Brees becomes a free agent after this season, and he isn't going to return. I'm not sure he would want to if he led the club to the Super Bowl. He had to get an unwanted feeling on draft day. Hence the rumors. Book was being made that first-round draft choice Philip Rivers would have supplanted Brees as starting quarterback by now, making the fourth-year pro expendable. The Chargers, after all, didn't draft Rivers and make him one of the richest 22-year-olds in San Diego because they were taken with Brees. "We were looking to upgrade the position," Smith says. "But Drew has been playing well. It's amazing when you add players through the draft and free agency how some of the other players perform." There is one more quarterback here than there have been presidential debates. Unheard of. When the team decided to keep four QBs – Doug Flutie and Cleo Lemon are the others – on its 53-man roster, it became even more apparent one would be dealt (as it is, there are teams still interested in Flutie, who will turn 42 next week). "There is a little sacrifice with the fourth quarterback," Smith acknowledges. "Somebody's not on your team." Clubs coming off horrible seasons don't keep four quarterbacks because they plan on platooning them. One of the QBs was going to be gone. Brees was first choice. But it can't be done now. Even if the Chargers were to lose Sunday it would be a hard sell. They would be 3-3. How could a .500 team with a schedule full of winnable games defend trading its starting QB, especially when he has been playing about as well as he can? Even a stinker in Atlanta couldn't justify it. A trade would be a give-up play, and clubs sitting at .500 or above in October don't sell out. Sure, there are teams dying to get their hands on Brees. Green Bay, with no one behind Brett Favre, is first on the rumor list. The Packers are looking for anyone with plasma. As is Miami, where Jay Fiedler has a broken rib, A.J. Feeley is concussed and Sage Rosenfels might get the call. Sage Rosenfels? "All eyes are pointed toward us," says Smith, who refuses to discuss company business. But, really, why should other GMs bother to call Smith? They know he can't deal a QB who has been so efficient leading up to the deadline. Besides, those teams don't deserve a chance at Brees, given the way he has played the past two weeks, his competitive fluid perhaps heated by the promotion of Rivers to No. 2. Is that part of it coincidence? Brees is a competitor, and his two splendid efforts followed the elevation of Rivers. I still find Brees a limited quarterback, but when he doesn't overstep his limitations and is protected, when he thinks right and throws straight, he can win games. And the Chargers must win games when they can win them. They're not in business to help out others when they actually have a chance to accomplish something after all these years. To hell with Green Bay and Miami. They've had their fun. Having Brees around hardly guarantees a sure thing. He could be out of the loop by the end of the month. The Chargers are not playoff cinches. While they are 3-2, their history tells us to allow the bandwagon to go around the block once or twice. "I've seen this movie before," says Smith, speaking of the entire team. "It's much too early to determine anything. In Drew's case, he has to be consistent. That's what makes a winning quarterback." He has been consistent. For two weeks. But the Oct. 19 trade deadline comes much too quickly for a verdict on consistency.

Oh i am sure they do. But to not be on the list you mentioned just seems to not make much sense. If it wasn't a tough place to play at i feel that they wouldn't have the best home winning percentage in the last five years. Playing against really good teams or not. -
He was just saying the third round pick has been traded already.
-
Juan gone always figures out a way to get injured. No thank you.
-
I definitely can tell you i do not overrate him. He should nto be a starting shortstop and if he does only for about only 1-2 million a year.
-
Barely. I mean come on his career obp is worse than valentin's.
-
I am sorry but i do not see why people want guzman. If you look at his numbers they are really not too impressive.
-
I am just saying it is an option if they traded furcal. It may not be the ideal thing to do but it is a possibility.
-
Jimenez is a big prick willie is not. Yes i do feel that jimenez is better offensively but not defensively. Overall at tyhis point in time i feel the edge goes to jimenez, and there no doubt about it to me that jimenez is better than guzman especially when it comes done to money.
-
Guzman is not better except for triples.
-
Actually he signed a new contract that has an option for 2006.

Makes no sense at all why they are not on the list, not at all. -
Crede is nearly as slow as konerko as it is. His scouting report he is painfully slow but that he rarely makes mistakes on the basepaths.
