Even if his player moves do not work out, I really appreciate his handling of the cap to allow us room to make a single big splash when more appropriate.

I can't even remember if I enjoyed the Thibs era.

Bye thibs. Good riddance.

Micah's defense is on pace to be historically terrible.

QUOTE (MnSoxFan @ May 14, 2015 -> 07:05 AM) The Brewers are a NL team, I would not expect their announcer to know all the ins and outs of an AL team. One would think he would know about Baines, but there is a lot to know about MLB and the dude is quite old. Give him a break. Weren't Brewers an AL team when Baines was with Sox?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 14, 2015 -> 06:39 PM) I'm pretty confident he can do 260/290/350 but I'm not sure about anything more than that. We'll see. Defense tho, yea, he's electric at times and has great hands. It's fun to watch him. Arm isn't the strongest but great instinctual middle infielder. We may ultimately have a good rotation 1-4 with a wildcard #5 who when his is good can keep ball low and get grounders. We have a bullpen full of guys with downward movement to get grounders. As I mentioned before the season started, Sanchez's up the middle defense seemed much more of a fit to the team mold than Micah. Micah is not a bust. He held his own offensively which is difficult for sox prospects. Now he needs to get reps and reps and reps on d. Not a bad start.

Honestly would not be mad if Gordon became starting 3b. I have zero confidence in Gillaspie doing the following: - Coming in toward a chopper - Going to his left - Going to his right I'm fine with him going backward and staying put. Beckham's overexposed offense

QUOTE (Boogua @ May 12, 2015 -> 08:52 PM) What amazes me is that their role players are absolutely crushing our role players. Lebron had a fantastic game and the Cavs were -4 with him on the floor. I know it's a flawed stat, but when he's off the floor and James Jones and Dellavadova are out there the Bulls should be killing them and they just haven't been. Mirotic was a -23 in 18 minutes. Aaron Brooks (who has just been atrocious all series) was a -12 in 7 minutes. This is a great post. Obviously dunleavy showed up. Maybe it's wht we demand them to do. On Miami, james jones really can just sit at the 3 point line. I feel like we need them to randomly run our whole offense. Which seems like what we know, we just aren't moving the ball!

Everyone loves a whiny b**** face whose had the league handed to him from day 1.

omg that unreal block by lebron makes it so easy to miss the obvious blocking foul

He's a 7'0 35 year old.

This is honestly remarkable to be this bad on the road and opposite at home.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:05 PM) I wouldn't call this Bulls team "virtually healthy" Most guys are playing, but guys like Taj and Jo are playing through some nasty stuff. It's the playoffs.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 12, 2015 -> 10:52 AM) Seriously, I find all the whining from others funny. These are the 2 best teams in the East playing each other and they are going at it. It has been incredibly enjoyable to watch. Now lets win tonight baby!!! Sorry, but I'd find losing to the Cavs with a hobbled Lebron and Kyrie and a virtually healthy bulls team more devastating than any of the Heat losses prior.

I'm more interested in finding out who is a fan of it.

Ugh. Would have been a DP anyway, which is mandatory for white sox o do with men in scoring position

Jose has been chasing AWFUL sliders away recently

Jose, be Jose right now.

Ugh, so annoying this could be 6-3 with one out.

Maybe there was an angle we did not see

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ May 11, 2015 -> 06:46 PM) What's worse is some coaches play better closeout defense than (Insert bad defender here. I think the current league whipping boy is Damian Lillard?). Del Negro and Spoelstra are the most notorious for it. They'll take a step or two out on the floor and stamp their feet or clap when a guy's shooting. f***ing ridiculous and should be a T every time. Thibs took out a player earlier in year not following a fast break, just seems dumb. Will probably change when someone gets injured.

General gripes below: I used to ban going to games in April. This year I was so excited I had the bulk of my tickets last month and Friday. I have yet to see a win in person (was at Royals suspended play portion of game), and it has been truly miserable weather in all except opening day. All in winter gear getting rained on. So, point is, "yeah weather", having now been to a respectable amt. in April, I will never frontload tickets again. Also - I had not print out my tickets for Friday, and the box office had no idea how to get me proof to show real box office that I had tickets (can't manage past tickets). Strange to me that something as simple as a rain delay was difficult to figure out.

Seems really harsh and dumb.

Eh, it does kind of look like it. Coaches should be t'd up for stepping onto court anyway. Happens all the time, but it's really annoying. How hard it is it?

I love dunleavy, but man, just seems like he either gets 18 points or 0 points and fouls out.
