QUOTE (iamshack @ May 27, 2011 -> 09:31 AM) Come on, dude...this is not about Jackson versus Hudson. This is about Humber. For all those that are upset about Hudson's departure, at least we have found another cheap effective arm to replace him. Now let's not screw it up by moving him to the pen. He's not talking about Jackson versus Hudson. We're talking about Jackson vs. Humber.

If anything, his insane whip shows that's he's not doing this with smoke and mirrors. The guy has just been freakin fantastic so far. Do I expect him to keep going like this? Hell no. But to put your best starter in the bullpen because he makes the least amount of money(and lets be honest that's the ONLY reason he'd be going to the pen) is the sign of a terrible decision making organization. This shouldn't be too difficult of a decision at this point, Edwin needs to be the one going to the pen. If we're going to complain about Humber's track record we can certainly do the same thing about Edwin's.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ May 26, 2011 -> 11:02 PM) What? He's twenty-f***ing-two years old. The guy has steadily improved in every aspect of the game since entering the league. Why is it out of the realm of possibility for him to improve his poise/composure in high pressure games going forward? Step back off the ledge. Like I said, I'm sure he will improve in that aspect and every other aspect of his game. My point is that I refuse to give him a pass because of his age in this situation. I really don't care that he's 22, he was downright pathetic down the stretch of these games, period.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ May 26, 2011 -> 10:58 PM) At 14 years old it hurts worse I think. I am completely devastated right now. If I didn't have a job interview in the morning I'd probably have to drink heavily. Definitely went through my head to call off work tomorrow. On a side note, I'm already confusing our posts because of the avy's.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 26, 2011 -> 10:55 PM) Really? I felt a lot worse when the Sox looked like they blew it in 08. I was so down those couple of days. No matter what, that 08 team never stood a chance to win a World Series imo, nor did I have as much fun watching them through out the season as I did this Bulls team. As far as professional sports go, this Bulls team was the most fun I've had watching one of my teams outside the 05 White Sox. I f***in loved this team and now I'm just absolutely devastated.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ May 26, 2011 -> 10:43 PM) You don't think this will ultimately make Derrick a better player? You know this series will motivate him to work like a fiend in the offseason. Rowand, believe me, I hate the f*** out of LeBron and company. Fortunately, I can take solace in the fact that Bulls fans have yet to see his best. I'm sure he's going to improve but that has nothing to do with this. If he had a bad series, fine, but the way he literally s*** his pants down the stretch in the last 4 games whether he's 22 or 35 or 55 was just pathetic. He was f***in horrendous.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 26, 2011 -> 10:52 PM) It seems like nobody is giving Dallas a chance. I don't get that. They have a better offensive supporting cast than we do and play good enough defense. I think it will be a fun series. They don't stand a chance unfortunately.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ May 26, 2011 -> 10:51 PM) This feels a lot like the 2000 White Sox made me feel. It's a lot worse for me. This is the most devastated I can ever remember feeling about a sports team.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 26, 2011 -> 10:35 PM) As well they should after that amazing comeback. I'll just be avoiding ESPN the next 2 weeks...might be a good time to read the ESPN book instead. Drink...excessively.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 26, 2011 -> 10:34 PM) ESPN just sucking off Lebron and Company. I can't stand Miami and I especially can't stand LeBron but what the f*** do you expect? That asshole was f***in insane this series, unfortunately he deserves all the credit he's going to get. Hopefully someone on Dallas literally punches him in the mouth though. He was awesome while our superstar grew girl parts.

QUOTE (Felix @ May 26, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) Rose took out the legs of Wade on that 3. No he didn't but he did hit him on the elbow, it was a foul. Right now I seriously hate Derrick Rose. f***IN HATE HIM

f*** it, avatar changing to Scaly. RALLY SCALY TIME!!!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 26, 2011 -> 06:13 PM) The White Mamba WILL be in uniform tonight Welp, there's the momentum changer of the series, we got this!

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 26, 2011 -> 06:02 PM) With the way the AL is shaping up, Boston might just run through this league in the playoffs. Speaking of, remind me to start buying some Phillies gear because the Heat, Canucks and Red Sox all winning a championship in the same year is too much for me.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 26, 2011 -> 04:52 PM) Awful news about Posey. Just destroyed my fantasy team(and yes EVERYONE cares about my fantasy team). QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 26, 2011 -> 04:53 PM) Their talent has taken over. I was laughing when dumb Red Sox fans were acting like, well, we do. With the way the AL is shaping up, Boston might just run through this league in the playoffs.

Wilson Valdez got a win last night.

QUOTE (Pale Sox @ May 25, 2011 -> 02:28 PM) Kevin Goldstein today: "Dayan Viciedo, 1B/OF, White Sox (Triple-A Charlotte): 3-for-4, 3 2B, 2 R, RBI. Up to .318/.362/.538 in 44 games and Juan Pierre still plays every day in the big leagues" I think that about sums it up.

How was Tosh last night?

Even if their stats are pretty similar this season, Danks has a track record of being a very good pitcher while Edwin doesn't. To me this isn't a very hard decision and would have already been made if it wasn't for Edwin's contract.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ May 25, 2011 -> 02:32 AM) I mean really though, what more are you realistically expecting him to do given the personnel on both sides of the ball?? When it comes down to crunch time, it's glaringly obvious that it's 3 against 1, particularly in terms of the level of talent it takes to consistently put the ball in the basket. Unfortunately, that is what it literally became at the end of regulation because you just could not trust anyone else on the Bulls at that point to hit a big shot. He's trying to do EVERYTHING because he HAS to. He's not succeeding because there's MORE ELITE TALENT on the other side. It's really that easy. I want him to try and do everything, I have NO problem with that. The problem I have with him right now, is he's afraid to go to the basket down the stretch. The dumbest f***in thing to try and do is shoot a f***in jump shot over a guy that's 5 inches taller than you. I really couldn't give a f*** if he takes every god damn shot in the 4th quarter but he needs to get back to attacking the rim, I'm not really sure when he's become so timid about doing so but it's pissing me off.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 24, 2011 -> 11:43 PM) I hate future Steve. Because when the Bulls win Game 5, that idiot will start to believe again. Unless the Space Jam aliens return Derrick Rose's testicles, we're done.

Oh, and Go Dirk

Seriously, I feel like taking back every god damn good thing I've said about Derrick Rose in this thread.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 24, 2011 -> 05:32 PM) Asik did not practice, likely to miss tonight's game. He's warming up supposedly. Doesn't mean anything either way but can't be a bad sign...
