I'm going to be there as well. Hopefully Contreras dominates.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 17, 2005 -> 02:49 PM) You can't go wrong with either bbb or realgm... i like how bbb is set up much more ever since the over haul. The boards at realgm look kinda funny to me. Anyway, who are you over at realgm? nitetrain8603

I wanted Willie to check up too. Anyway, that's why you don't steal with your only out. They knew it was coming and Olivo is behind the plate. Dumb move.

What happened to that girl???

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 17, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) I dont know but they were talking about this on SnR last time. Every time we get 2 wins in a series people start making these threads before the game and it jinxes us every time.......at least this season. From now on lets keep it quiet ok. Seriously. Someone always finds the need to open their big yap about a sweep and it doesn't happen. Stop making these threads already people. Wait til it actually happens to make one.

Why did PK swing on first pitch?? It's not like he was given a golden ball to swing at or anything.

2-0 mariners. Jinxes all over this game. Sleep time.

11 games into the season and we're already talking about deadline deals?? You need to wait at least until late June to tell what you need.

You could check your tvguide channel.

Crede all the way

Thanks for the jinx. We probably aren't going to win due to the fact that Ozzie likes to experiment in the last game of our series with every team so far. We'll probably be benching PK for Gload today or something.

I actually think that our offense did make Franklin look better than he actually is. Look at all the pitchers we faced and most of them looked great and way better than what they are. My main example being Kevin Millwood.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 01:34 PM) As it stands he will not be getting the max. Shouldn't have got the max before this happened anyway. The nba is pretty ridiculous when it comes to handing out money. Once all of his test results come back we should know how it is gonna stand when it comes to money. I will be stunned if he gets the max even after the results come back. Because you know that it will be in the back of everyone's mind that it can come back. At this point he keeps getting the irregular heart beat but they have found nothing at all. That in my opinion anyway cannot be a good thing considering all the specialists he has been to. Wouldn't one of them find something small even? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...urry/index.html It can, but it most likely won't. This has been discussed about several guys around the league who's had it happen to them once. Hakeem had it happen to him and I don't think people didn't want him anymore for the same money. It was a one time thing. I've even talked to guys who've had the same thing he had and they said it appeared once or twice, but it wasn't anything major and he plays sports up the wazoo. Also the doctors said it's very common to find in people. He's not going to get less of a contract for this. Also with the new CBA being done, possibly by the end of this week, max contracts will probably be around 5 years which is not that big of a risk.

Go to RealGM.com and it let's you talk about every team. The Bulls board is about the 3rd biggest and it's gotten some dap. Lots of true insiders there too. Bulls4Ever is affiliated with RealGM, but not quite as good IMHO. Just make sure when you sign up that you introduce yourself and don't make dumb posts like Frank Williams for Shaq. It also has a trade checker and everything. You'd love it. I know I do.

QUOTE(farmteam @ Apr 16, 2005 -> 05:21 PM) Any more news on Brandon Rush? Also, where's the Illini Basketball message board? Brandon Rush has limited it to two teams. The Illini and Oklahoma. He's still leaning towards the NBA if he's a 1st rounder(which I think he would be). For college he said right now that he's leaning towards Illinois and he's been talking for them for a while. Illiniboard.com I think has a main message board.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 09:51 PM) Seems to be a bad trend on Soxtalk in the last few weeks............ :headshake Seriously, too many dumb threads around here. Tommorow I expect a thread that says this, "All 0 of our players didn't go 4-4, we should trade them or send them down."

Too quick of a game. Maybe everytime Buehrle pitches at home, that should count as half-price night too.

I've tried this and it hasn't worked for me. Basically you change the proxies, but I've tried it multiple times(and i know I've done it right) and it hasn't worked.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) ehh I think we should get Ben Sheets in our rotation.... take out Clemens.. You're right. We'll use Roger for long relief.

Former North Carolina coach Matt Doherty; Duke assistant Chris Collins; Rick Majerus, Digger Phelps and Fran Fraschilla, all of whom have ties to the area or the Big East. Those are the guys I would look hard at. Matt Doherty is a really good recruiter. I would at least hire him as an assistant. Chris Collins will be a good coach once he becomes a coach, but I think he'll Dave Leaito this team as well. The other guys seem like guys who would stay for the long haul.

He'll probably trade the pick if he ends up getting the #1 overall unless Sloan really wants him. I doubt it though. I see Bogut just being another Mehmet Okur.

He's going to get the max. CBA is also supposed to shorten the length of max deals to 5 years. The reason the Bulls are not letting him play is because of precautionary reasons. They said everything has came out good, but they don't want to play him so just in case that small small chance happens, they won't be liable. Basically they want to save themselves from a Jay Williams thing and get insurance on his contract. Nothing bad is going to happen. Hakeem had a worse heart problem and he play 15 years in the league and good ones at that. If the Bulls let him play now and something happens, their proposal for insurance probably won't go through because they'll say that the Bulls caused that to happen so they won't get that grant. By him not playing, they make sure they cover their asses by giving him a max deal and if he can't play, insurance pays him and he doesn't count against the cap. And Pax said yesterday during the conference, "People seem to forget he's a restricted FA which means he's coming back to us, so we'll take care of it" and Eddy laughed. He definately hasn't played his last game in Chicago. And SS2K, if you get another PF then you're going to try to play Davis until he's 60 at Center?? Chandler doesn't have the body for a center. Imagine Shaq and Curry and Ilgauskus and even guys like Wilcox, Brand and Diop banging with him. Chandler would completely break his back. He can't play Center. Curry is a legit center and a legit body. I'm happy that he's going to be coming back.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 05:25 PM) He's a Top 5 perimiter defender in this league. He got 27 million over 6 years, IIRC? He's worth every penny. Him and Garnett are the only keepers on that squad. 4.5 out of the 5 million in the Mid-Level exception. Linton Johnson and Ronald Dupree are just as good defensively(I think Linton is better) and they got a lot less. Hassell is alright, but he should be making no more than 3.25 mil and that's from a NY Knicks team that likes to overpay. Minny got stupid with contracts and overpaid everyone.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 11:31 PM) Supersteve, When you get so good you can dominate the computer at MVP every game, simming becomes more fun. Im not there yet with MVP, but I was there with Madden. SB Exactly. I still beat the computer on MVP. I've only lost 1 game so far and I've played about 12 or 13 against the computer. I don't adjust sliders at all. Just keep it the same as when it comes packaged in the game.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 11:00 AM) Much better? Have you even bothered to look at his stats away from Coor's? :puke This thread is such a joke. Seriously, there's a reason the Braves have let him go and now the Rockies. He isn't anything anymore and he has a big contract. Here's a suggestion: Get Rolen, A-Rod to play SS, Jeter to play 2B, Pujols @ first, Pudge as catcher, then trade Scott Podsednik, Everett and Rowand for Bonds, Vlad and Beltran. For our pitching staff let's trade for Clemens, RJ, Schilling, Pedro and Peavy. Then our bullpen could be Frankie Rodriguez, Eric Gagne, Nathan, Rivera and Foulke. Anyone want to bring back Babe Ruth to be our 6th starter???
