QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 7, 2015 -> 01:24 PM) Unrelated sidenote, but for all the b****ing, Bulls could make a few maneuvers and have max money to throw around to the 2016 class (KD). You get their by moving Taj or having Gasol elect his player option and opting out. Could maneuver it many other ways as well. Thought that was interesting as this is a very good team who can contend (didn't say favorites but can absolutely contend) and should still remain attractive to major free agents. I don't know if we will make the moves to do it or if Durant is the right guy to grab but interesting either way. I know the front office has whiffed at the big guys (but so have the Lakers) and in terms of the 3 largest markets we still would be on paper offering by far the best chance to contend and win a title. KD is not coming to Chicago. We have had multiple "bulls clear out cap space to chase the star, this year it will happen!" moments. We all thought Love/Aldridge would be the ones that happened. They didn't. Melo didnt'. Lebron/Wade didn't. Davis won't. We may get a meeting, but he'll be going to Washington, OKC, NYK, Lakers, etc.

Have we had a 3 run + homer since that Detroit game early on with Abreus gramdslam? Seems we can never get those big chunks.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 09:14 PM) Thanks. Seemed like a lot more. it was loud Seemed like a lot more on Friday too. Has seemed like 30k past few games.

MLB Gameday froze, glad to see this thread.

Hahn did well there. I can't argue with anything he said. Judging by his tenure so far that means these comments will perform terribly.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 5, 2015 -> 11:44 PM) They're trying to trade Swaggy P, he's on $5.2M a season, they just gave Lou Williams 3/21, Brandon Bass just signed there also. I could see Young ending up in Philly potentially, if the Lakers can't find a taker, would probably have to attach a pick of some sort though as well. Yeah. I used to think Nick Young would be the key to the bulls getting past heat. This FA has been crazy. I thought the first 2 days would be the splurge and then the discounts would start happening. The opposite occurred. Could not believe all these players I only kind of knew getting 10/mill.

Gagged when I saw Lakers trying to clear cap room for Hibbert. Had no idea they were terrible and in bad financial shape. Who is costing them money beside Kobe?

Did they trade Batum to try to keep Aldridge?

Whatever of Danks status right now, his change up was filthy yesterday

Hard to complain about Dunleavy contract now

Was at this game. I still have only seen two sox runs in person (both Abreu solo home runs), but this was a blast of a game. Lots of kids became life long fans at this game.

We will never get kings pick.

Let's make this a cardinals haterade thread

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 02:22 PM) Buehrle and Uribe should never have departed. They've remained exceptional. Mark is worth every penny he's received since leaving. Uribe is so solid. You may want to look up Uribe's stats since his departure.

Ugh, makes me want to cry. Does anyone else remember crying?: "I wouldn’t sell the farm for any player in either league. By September Martinez will be the Cards best pitcher, and barring injury in two years may be the best pitcher in the league. I believe that where he is headed anyway. Grichuk is a superstar in the making. I know all the metrics folks may not think so, but let’s just name a couple of Cards who got a lot better after age 23. Does anyone remember Lou Brock or Ozzie Smith? Is Grichuk going to be another player of that caliber? Don’t know, but it is a possibility. Reyes certainly has potential. Yeah I know potential doesn’t always produce results, but a lot of great player have been traded before a team realized what they had. Can you say Adam Wainright? Sure the Cards could use some help with starting pitching, but I don’t believe in selling the farm."

pass. I'd kill myself than watch him pitch for those fans.

I'd be pretty disappointed with Lin compared to even Brooks (*whom I hated). Lin got outplayed by an undrafted Free Agent last year. I'm not sure he does anything more useful than the tiny vet min PGs. Ugh, what a bucket of crap this year.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 02:07 PM) let me ask this then.... how often are 16 year old international prospects praised for their gold glove level defense? 6

I'll be here all week.

How many grand slams in an inning do we think Tatis will be able to hit?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 10:38 AM) Watching a Vine on him, he has his dads swing, whether that is good or bad... who knows. Well, I know his name so he must be the best player ever!

One thing that really helped the Heat was that shooting was inexpensive then, and guys taking the min instead of 2-3 million. Now they get 10 million. WIll be interesting to see who fills out their roster. I wonder who the undervalued pieces are now?
