Everyone try to read this without cringing: http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/7/71/1147...pd-another-blow

The Tribune is going hard after the audio and why it was obscured.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 03:29 PM) Right now...whenever I see Rose aggressive, I'm happy. It puts more pressure on the D and he can't possibly keep being this bad from the shooting end. He just can't. In fact, he needs to be even more aggressive. Just no threes...please god no threes until he can see (even then, maybe still no threes). He also needs to get past his mental block around the hoop. He looks way too concerned about contact and it is causing him to be a much poorer finisher then his career norms. It just depresses the hell out of me when he goes 1 on 3 on a fast break knowing he's going to get his s*** blocked (which he does, everytime), knowing that my favorite with rose was whizzing through 3 defenseman making an impossible layup. I held out hope for a long time but he is one of the worst pgs in the league. I also still give thibs benefit of doubt: it's possible he ran a very rigid play-based offense because he saw how rarely his team would move. Now Hoiberg is forced to.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 01:06 PM) It's the same ol' every year with this team. They go through stretches every season where people start to flood the bandwagon, it's no different this year. I really hope Dunleavy can get back. I really think he's a huge part of our offense. But, I'm nervous his career is over.

Great move. He will so respect that we paid him more than required he'll be extra motivated.

Rahm now "welcoming" a DOJ investigation. I think one is absolutely necessary, and his opinion does not matter. The Chicago force needs a profound reason to clean up, and know that this isn't going to go away with time. A DOJ investigation helps with that.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 08:21 AM) It's the quality of these players that I question. I really don't see how any of those players will improve upon what the Sox already have, with the exception of Alvarez over LaRoche. Look at the ages, expected salaries and numbers on those players. Not very good at all. I'd much rather see the Sox use their limited resources on better talent than picking through non-tendered garbage. As of right now, Henderson Alvarez is the only played that really interests me and I'm leery on him because he gave up more hits than IP and didn't have to face the DH pitching in the NL. Might not translate well at US Cellular. I'd still take a chance depending on his asking but I wouldn't go overboard trying to sign him either due to the Sox needing to spend their money wisely on position players. I'd be happy to pick up a flyer on Aaron Crow, doubt he would be much more than an invite.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 10:42 AM) The only thing I do not like about Bennett is he seems to never get any YAC That is the strength of bennett to me. If he gets a little bit of space he bowls over people.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 10:54 AM) It would make sense that they picked the soft of the softest target possible as well, but it IS weird he worked there. Thats the confusion. Right, it's such an odd target that doesn't seem to fit other narratives of dense population or iconic places.

Wow, did not realize Sanchez was only 23 still. That actually gives me pause on moving on from him.

I know I'm debbie downer even as the team keeps winning, but man, it's really hard watching your team's backcourt go like 5-32. Pau and McDermott won the game.

relying on Miller for 16 games seems crazy.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 10:06 PM) Wow, I did not see that coming. I like Navarro's bat but is the upgrade worth a potential defensive downgrade? Or am I wrong about his defensive abilities vs. Flowers? Good point. Rick Hahn never misses a chance to make a marginal offensive improvement at the cost of defensive value, only to see that offense diminish and defense stay terrible during their tenure.

Do it

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 08:33 PM) That would be stupid of use to give up Anderson This is exactly why I wanted catcher to be the last position we address. Way too expensive for its offensive production.

Yes on Alvarez. I would love that signing

Mesoroco tried to play through a pretty bad injury so I wouldn't put too much weight into those numbers...unless he's still not healthy

Why does the Rangers piece matter?

I think it will. He's a great coach.

bull.

I think Odom is clearly making sure he's not the choice for mizzou before accepting Memphis. Mizzou is his alma mater and an SEC school, and he has a hell of a defense to coach.

Saw that on twitter. Sorry shipps.

Although browsing around an actual video store was much less painful than browsing netflix.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 05:03 PM) No chance. City Hall knew about the murder and the tape the night it happened or the next day. I'm 100% convinced Rahm, McCarthey, Alvarez, et al. had a call or a meeting and discussed the best way to handle the whole situation given the election ramifications and obviously the PR ramifications. If the judge had never ordered the CPD to release the video, it never would have gotten out and chances of that cop getting charged are very low. 14 months to indict! 14! Some bulls*** "blame it on the Feds" excuse is just that, bulls***. Let's also not forget about the "secret" CPD interrogation building. What's been the status of THAT investigation? Lastly, if you really want to know how Rahm operates, remember that the reporter that busted this whole story open was BANNED FROM A PUBLIC PRESS CONFERENCE INVOLVING THE MAYOR. Banned from the room! Lack of all credibility and accountability? I'd say so. I agree with this, and the reason I think this is real is I don't think the large group of people aware of this issue really thought they were doing anything wrong. An officer overreacted, but the guy had a knife, and its better this dies. The mayor's council urged the 5 million buyout. This was really painful for me to watch because it really just seems like we got the full whiff of what standard operating procedure is for the city. Protect the insiders, and damn whoever gets in the way.
