QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 16, 2014 -> 04:54 PM) Pop is a lot better than anyone else, there is really no reason to even compare the two. This is true, but looking at how Pop transformed the team from great d/slow possession team to this iteration makes me hopeful that Thibs can evolve as well. He has the work ethic to do it, and showed by bringing Noah to the point center position and package sets that his team couldn't execute that he is somewhat creative. I think people forget that coaches can get better tool. Thibs may just be getting started.

Anyone going to Grant Park to watch the game tonight?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 16, 2014 -> 03:17 PM) If they did that, it would be a incredibly wrong and misguided assumption on their part. The Spurs roster is so much better than the Bulls it isnt even funny. According to our favorite Cowley, the front office is going to go balls to the wall to make this roster better for next season I missed this, Kyle. You are right: http://www.blogabull.com/2014/6/16/5814340...-and-aggressive While I'll believe it when I see it, this is the great news. I'd much rather hear this than the nothing we are used to. I just hope it leads to action. Frankly, the window is closing.

According to our favorite Cowley, the front office is going to go balls to the wall to make this roster better for next season I didn't say it was right, but all this garbage about talent evaluation and patience is like, their M.O. Gar is probably salivating at two teen picks. This is the group who apparently was "distraught" about having to unload Kirk's contract in 2010 in preparation for Free Agency that did not go well.

Aren't Bulls fans worried that the management is going to use the Spurs as an excuse to stand pat?

Man lebron sounds so pissed at his teammates in this press conference.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 16, 2014 -> 04:22 AM) Oh, and how many hall of famers does it take for Lebron to win a championship? Not one. Not two. Not three... I mean he has two championships and there was probably only one other on his team.

Honestly, who cares. There is clearly nothing anyone in here can do about this. I have gone to numerous games this year, and I've enjoyed the hell out of this season. I don't feel like pining about why there aren't more fans. Maybe it's that baseball is like the least popular sport among teens now.

So where are the people that complain about not watching the NBA because it's "an iso game" now? Are they the biggest spurs fans in the world or can we just call that b.s. at this point.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 02:54 AM) Bwha ha the greatest my ass. Demand the f***ing ball Lebron. Take over the game. He has 19 points this quarter and spurs have increased their lead.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 02:54 AM) Wade is so floppy The finals, otherwise known as Dwyane Wade calling for a foul in disgust every drive.

How do all of the spurs become such good ballhandlers and shooters?

Touisiaissaopolis used to play for us right?

Oh no, Bosh wasn't let in on the plan!

QUOTE (CyAcosta41 @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 06:32 PM) I believe it's more problems with the down-and-away slider. He hits the high breaking pitches fine. Just like everybody else. Except, unlike everybody else, he doesn't have to barrel it up for the ball to go a long, long way. For Jose, it's all about adjustments. He should NEVER swing at the down-and-away sliders UNLESS he has two strikes. Otherwise, let ... it ... go. Most pitchers can't get that sh*t over with regularity, anyway. Abreu is very, very good already ... and he's dealing with major league pitchers and scouting reports who are trying everything to get him out. If he makes the necessary adjustments -- and he seems to be the quick study that most of us could only hope he'd be -- he has the chance to jump from very, very good to simply incredible. This signing/contract might very well go down as one of the biggest steals ... EVER. I am feeling pretty good after yesterday where 2 inside fastballs where turned for a LF home run and then an OPPOSITE FIELD SINGLE. Love this man.

Yeah, but especially sucks as a Mizzou fan with Weatherspoon having ruptured his achilles. I still have William Moore to watch which is cool.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 05:13 PM) SoxTalk is a cruel, unforgiving world.

What is this proposed lineup? Chalmers-Wade-James-Melo-Bosh at C? It's ridiculous and isn't happening. Maybe if Bosh leaves. The players union would throw a fit if all 4 take 14 million.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 02:19 PM) No love for Danks in here??? That was his 10th quality game in 12 starts. His ERA in those 10 starts is 2.86. Might not get the attention because his ERA overall is above 4, thanks in part to the 2 non quality starts where he gave up 15 runs, but IMO he's right up there with Q as our 2nd best pitcher. They both have 10 quality starts, only 12 other pitchers have more. Honestly I continue to be amazed. I think one of my favorite things in baseball is when a pitcher starts to breakdown and not feature their stuff anymore, and refocuses and starts finding ways to get it done with stuff that would write-off a prospect. Sale-Quintana-Danks has been consistently keeping us up when our bats cooled, and Rienzo/noesi have been good enough. I would really love a June in the mold of 2010.

Edit wrong thread

We've hit the mythical 8 run Mark we were told about

I can't remember last De Aza hit I've seen.

To be honest, next David Price is my expectation for Rodon. That's the type of impact player I was hoping for at #3. That he also has a high floor is great, but I want him to be excellent.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 08:39 PM) I'm really surprised we went over slot with Fry (even though it wasn't by much). Me too, that's kind of funny considering when Fry was selected we thought it was sign of us getting cheaper talent.

Why do we always give up so much! Cubs got Fred McGriff for virtually nothing.
