I miss Rocco Baldelli now.

Mine is this thread. Seriously though, I have nothing against Dylan, he did the best he could and that's all Jesus could ask of him.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) Sale ranked #11 in FanGraph's trade value rankings, the highest rank pitcher in the majors: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2014-trade-value-20-11/ Love.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 12:25 PM) Pure guess here... Either Beckham or Jon Rauch. Don't think Beckham got that close to the top 10. Rauch or Borchard are probably good guesses.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 10:56 PM) No offense, but SIU was in such a shambles you have to wonder why Barry took that job. Is there any way in hell he can turn that program back around? You guys got any good players yet under Barry? It was the only head coaching job he'd get. And yes, he's doing a very good job so far turning around the program but the weak scheduling does no good for anybody. QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 05:52 AM) He's already turning it around. Kyle, Rowand, and myself talk about it right here every year. In fact we are thinking about starting our own web based show or podcast with weekly staples such as "What else could Lowery screw up?" and "What job is Torres Roundtree holding this week?". Gonna be huge! A podcast of us 3 talking about SIU basketball and wrestling, imagine the ratings! QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 06:37 AM) You should look into his previous job at MSU. Barry took that job because he needed a job as much as the Salukis needed a coach I hate lowery so much Yup. Yup.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 04:06 PM) Absolutely...I think some people are still wrapped up in the loss of Melo and thinking the result of it is an underwhelming/undeserving Bulls team. Like others have said, this is a a Bulls squad that went 33-16 after trading Deng, now they're adding Rose, Pau, Mirotic, and McDermott to that team....They should be really really good....if healthy The thing is nobody gives a damn anymore what they accomplished in the regular season. They're definitely improved, no doubt but we'll have to see just how much.

If both teams are healthy the Bulls and Cavs are probably your two finalists in the East but when pg death happens who knows...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 02:28 PM) If Hibbert and George play like all stars then that's a 2nd round capable team. Of course, I'm counting like 5-6 2nd round capable teams in the East and can't figure out who will get beyond that at this point. (Cavs, Bulls, Pacers, Wizards, maybe Bobcats, Heat, maybe a surprise or two somewhere). Toronto.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 12:03 PM) Patton went to SIU-Edwardsville, in case anybody here may recognize the name. And Frasor went to the real SIU. How about that.

Best players we can regardless of position. Sure catchers and pitchers would be nice but just get the best players in here.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 07:37 AM) Exactly. I still don't get why it was a big deal that the game in Miller Park tied, anyway. I miss when they used to "goof around" and have fun during the All-Star Game. The NHL and NBA do All-Star festivities right. Also, MLB needs to find something other than this conventional HR derby. Did anyone sit through that 4 hours? To me the NBA allstar game is a ton of fun to watch cause everyone knows it's just a show and the players have fun with that. This whole the game counts thing but we're still going to have fans vote and kind of try but not really is beyond stupid.

I say we have Krush ump every game then we wouldn't need instant replay!

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 11:33 AM) So the Pacers starting backcourt is currently George Hill and CJ Miles....yikes...And we think the Bulls have guard issues. The Pacers are irrelevant at this point.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 11:32 AM) LOL. Somebody was pessimistic and overly worried about the Konerko signing. Well in your defense, his 17th homer came on June 3rd, so you were almost right.

You guys suck at making predictions. I can say this because I had no idea what to expect out of him and was to big of a p**** to make a prediction.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 09:58 AM) Charlotte is very interesting now. As dumb as Jordan was for a couple years, they were a rigged lottery from having Anthony Davis. They instead got Michael KG, which, bad pick, but switch those two and people are terrified. Or if they just drafted someone with an NBA skill set like Bradley Beal. Jordan wasn't the only one in love with MKG but man, that was a horrid pick.

I really don't know what to think of Lance Stephenson. I usually don't give a damn about character issues if the person isn't a hardcore criminal but something wasn't right with the Pacers at the end of last season and he was clearly part of that.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 10:17 PM) Baseball is so impossibly slow. Abreu has been the next AL batter up for 40 minutes. And the NL is still batting. Yet they haven't even scored. Inexcusable. They need to address the speed of the game immediately, or I won't be the only one moving along. I love the White Sox but I honestly have a hard time watching games when they're not involved now a days.

Punk moved from the active superstars section to the alumni section on wwe.com.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 04:52 PM) Kyle Orton was released. I don't care if the Bears use him on defense, he just belongs on that team.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 04:53 PM) Completely agree. I'd take Lebron, Durant, George, Melo, and Chris Paul over him, for starters. Could add to the list but just rolled the first 5 that came to my head off the list. I think Melo was a better fit for the Bulls but if I'm starting a team I'm taking Love over Anthony. Love over Paul George as well.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 04:29 PM) He's updating the thread with relevant Bulls news, you are arguing with nobody right now. I agree. Keep the updates coming, I appreciate them. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 04:30 PM) It's Summer League. It's good, but it's Summer League. Agree here as well.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 01:14 PM) at the worst case, the sox should at least have Rodon on it..... No 2014 draft picks.
