QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 02:44 PM) Has anyone used ticketsnow.com for the Bulls game? The Bulls site links to them directly on their tickets page for resale purposes but their reviews aren't exactly great but are mostly from years ago. Any insight from here would be helpful. I've used it, it's where bulls funnell their season ticket holders because it takes no fees. Worked well for me.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 02:23 PM) It's good to know flavum's calling card. Now flavum should assign you a calling card and the both of you should make a signature to allow everyone else to differentiate the two of you. I can't wait until a baRRit joins the site.

Leonard Williams is incredible, I won't be upset if we this crackpot fake trade thing happens and we select him.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 01:57 PM) the one thing the state / city really hate, beside the bad press, is the wrong full death lawsuits. they will go for a no contest, settle out of court .... and the state / city will make things change rather quickly.... max out the money demands. They can't hate them that much, they seem to prefer it over ever charging anyone.

I think Scott Carroll is going to get a lot of burn this year. I hope hope hope e. Johnson is useful. My oh my how the teams fortunes would turn if our projected #3 starter last year returns to being a future starter.

I would take Luck in top 5. He has carried his team.

Did you guys like what Winston did vs. Oregon?

I doubt we play this game tonight anyway.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 09:39 AM) I am having a real hard time even having the slightest bit of enthusiasm for yet another Derrick Rose return. You must not have watched Aaron Brooks playing 35 mpg. Bad Derrick Rose >>>> Aaron Brooks.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 09:11 AM) Even better news, HINRICH GAMETIME DECISION I've honestly missed hinrich last few games. I cannot take watching Brooks anymore.

I think I'm now Pro-Mariota mainly because I'm annoyed around draft time how everyone will just throw around consensus based off of some not that in depth scouting and then just regurgitating ad nauseum and then go CRAZY when it turns out not to be what the team scouts went on on draft day.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 06:25 PM) Other than getting picked off, I thought he handled himself pretty well in the way of composure. He got taken out at 2B by Gordon and didn't try to make what would have almost assuredly been an errant throw and when he botched a 4-6-3 double play ball to his glove side he didn't try to beat Cain running to 2B, he took the sure out at 1B. What we did see was a lack of familiarity between him and Alexei and as advertised, Micah doesn't have the softest hands. It's still just one game. What was everyone's take on that ball that got through Micah and Alexei. I wasn't really sure who to blame there. I think even if Micah caught it, he wouldn't have gotten out. That inning featured many extraordinary hits, placed and paced to make it difficult. That said, even if Alexei should have communicated more, Micah has to catch that.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 05:23 PM) After yesterday it looks like even the scout seats are being dumped for pennies Scout seats on stub hub selling for $500 a piece. I think we have different definitions of pennies.

Lots are opening at 11am.

Jason Marquis is on the white sox?

Also, congrats to everyone who voted today. Fun voting experience being in and out in 5 minutes.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 05:23 AM) I say at least 60/40 Rahm. I think people are realizing that while Rahm has his issues, Garcia is a man without a plan. I cannot trust someone who says "just elect me and then I will figure things out." Rahm may be an asshole, arrogant and all that, but I think he has Chicago trending in the right direction. I agree. I mostly wanted run-off to show how weak Rahm is. Chuy is just not a good candidate. His success is almost entirely due to anti-rahm sentiment. Now that people know the mayoral seat is winnable, I expect a better race next time. But regardless, the next 3-6 years in Chicago are going to be painful. I wish we'd just get it out of the way while economy is somewhat chugging along.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 07:22 PM) City just lost to freakin' Crystal Palace. They've now sunk to 4th and are at risk of losing a guaranteed spot in the Champions League round of 32. Palace has been really playing well since Pardew took over. Still a surprise, but not as bad as if they played in December.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 12:44 PM) My concern with the team isn't about one game. It's about how they looked late in spring training-- which wasn't good. Now does that mean anything either? No, but with every team in baseball playing 8 of their first 10 series in the division, nobody can afford to suck the first 30-35 games. Hopefully they win a game in KC, and come home and slaughter the Twins. And then when Sale takes the mound on Sunday, this season will get off and running. I do agree with this. They certainly seemed to tail off the last 2 weeks of spring training. Our pitching continues to leave ST with no control.

It's funny, I wonder how different people would feel if we won 4-3 on OD and lost 10-1 in similar fashion in Game 2.

lotta shutouts today.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 06:09 PM) That won't happen. I say they win game 2 on Wednesday and then Danks gets destroyed on Thursday. Mid-season form.

Great game thread guys

Probably good we learned what we had with Drabek early was possible. We had bullpen decisions to make, now we get to see them.

if Sale was here, we would have had our classic 1-0 sale victory and all would have been fine.
