I hate to admit it but I've officially thrown in the towel on May f***in 7th. I'm ready for a firesale and if it were to be done right, we'd be able to bring some nice talent back in return, unfortunately Kenny is the last man for this kind of job.

AJ and Rios were pretty predictable, Dunn and Matt have to be defined as shocking as any players struggles so far this season though, not just that they've been bad but how terrible they've been.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 7, 2011 -> 08:14 AM) •Diamondbacks right-hander Daniel Hudson was part of the ill-fated trade between the Padres and White Sox in May 2009 that was vetoed by Jake Peavy, according to Dan Hayes of the North County Times (via Twitter). Peavy later accepted a trade to the South Siders at that season's deadline, but that package did not include Hudson. Instead, Clayton Richard, Aaron Poreda, Dexter Carter and Adam Russell went to the Friars. Hudson was later dealt to Arizona at the 2010 trade deadline in exchange for Edwin Jackson. from mlbtraderumors.com Just when we thought it was a salary dump alone (with a serviceable Richard heading to the NL West), we apparently almost gave up our best pitching prospect as well. Nice. Even if it was Hudson alone, it would have been way too much with Peavy's contract. This has been known. EDIT: And for the record, Huddy was far from our best prospect at the time when the original deal went down. That's why KW changed it up the 2nd time around and literally gave up nothing to get Jake.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 6, 2011 -> 10:26 PM) Ya, this is becoming quite the dilemma. Actually, after taking a whole 30 seconds to think about it, it's really an easy decision, put Edwin in the pen when Jake comes back. That being said, I'm sure that wont happen.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:25 PM) Seriously? He's not just giving them a chance, he's matching one of the best pitchers in baseball. Ya, this is becoming quite the dilemma.

DAYAN WALKED AGAIN EDIT: Damn it, didn't read the post that said it was intentional. I got so excited ha.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 6, 2011 -> 12:02 PM) Nope. I lied, just showed up.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 6, 2011 -> 12:01 PM) NP. I assume the new banner is showing up for everyone? With the "Paulie, Paulie, Paulie"? Nope.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 6, 2011 -> 11:14 AM) The Bulls are a WAY better team with a healthy Carlos Boozer. That isn't even a question. Yes QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 6, 2011 -> 11:14 AM) Bulls - injured Boozer > Bulls + injured Boozer A healthy Boozer is an asset we greatly need. Yes

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:26 AM) Buehrle is just not good anymore. I'll take the guy with pretty darn good stuff who is pitching like a stud now over the guy who can't throw above 87 MPH. Buehrle is done being a solid pitcher, at most now, he is average. He is due for a typical Buehrle outing when he gives up 8 runs and his ERA balloons to over 5. Buehrle will finish right around his career norms, he's just fine.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2011 -> 04:29 PM) Well, the NCAA Tourney just got significantly less exciting. Um ouch.

QUOTE (Real @ May 5, 2011 -> 02:16 PM) anybody else getting the pacquiao Mosley PPV besides me? No. I love boxing but there's no way I can justify spending 50 bucks on a ppv for this sport unless it's Manny-Mayweather.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 5, 2011 -> 02:13 PM) I look at skillset moreso than I do raw numbers. What now?

QUOTE (The Baconator @ May 5, 2011 -> 02:40 PM) I think we got Space Jammed- someone stole all of the talent from the team. Someone call up MJ. Does that make Juan Pierre, Mugsy Bogues and Adam Dunn, Shawn Bradley?

QUOTE (Cali @ May 5, 2011 -> 01:38 PM) I love how the Red Sox will just put guys who stink on the DL. They did it last year with Dice-K. Is obesity a legit injury? Ya, I went with a fat joke.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 5, 2011 -> 02:38 PM) I have a question. How come for the mods you guys have different colors? You got red, orange, I think DBAHO is pink. How does that work? If we tell you, we'd have to kill you.

I'm quite disappointed in myself for not checking out this thread earlier. Well done.

Damn, she is trollish on The Killing. That first picture literally scared me. Yikes.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 5, 2011 -> 01:42 PM) I disagree. Pierce and Allen weren't quite defensive stalwarts previous to Thibs getting them to buy into that system on the Celtics, and he got them on board. I feel like he could convince anyone at this point, given the team the Bulls have right now. I'm not just talking about defense.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 5, 2011 -> 12:57 AM) Also, if there's 1 piece missing on this Bulls roster (other than a competent starting SG), it's a 2nd scorer who can drive or create his own shot. Right now, Rose is the creator and the only one. I love the Bench Mob, but there is a reason CJ Watson is a backup. He settles for a lot of outside shots and he ins't necessarily a sniper from out there. A guy like Jamal Crawford, Ben Gordon or Jason Terry would do wonders for the Bulls. And obviously I'm looking forward quite a bit, but those 2 late 1st round picks could be extremely valuable either with picking players or as trade chips. I'd love to be able to get a Nolan Smith, but I don't think he'll last that long. Then again, it could be possible to trade up. Thibs would throw Jamal Crawford or Ben Gordon off the team after the 1st practice. We definitely could use another creator but no thanks on those two. Anyways, looking big picture, still really unimpressed with the Bulls performance last night.

QUOTE (oldsox @ May 5, 2011 -> 11:00 AM) If you mean current skill level? Rios? Yes. Dunn? Yes Pierre? Yes AJ? Probably Ramirez? No Beckham? Yes Thornton? Yes Konerko? No Peavy? Yes Buehrle? Probably Omar? Yes Teahen? Yes Morel? NA Q? No This is not a talented bunch. You are freakin absurd.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 4, 2011 -> 11:27 AM) This is my exact mindset. We've gone 88 games without back to back losses. There's no reason to start in the Eastern Conference Semis. 'Tis not true but close enough.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 3, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) He hasn't seemed to be this year. The Sox are #5 in the league right now for most wild pitches. It used to be a strength of his, now not so much. Unfortunately, like the rest of his game, his ability to block pitches in the dirt has declined quite rapidly.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 3, 2011 -> 05:21 PM) Yeah South Park went a little to high brow for my taste. I think the basic message was that all Apple does is make it so that we end up consuming everyone elses s***. But that should have been a joke, not an episode. Was actually going to ask in this thread if South Park last week was any good or not. I somehow forgot about it and have been waiting for it to show up OnDemand, no such luck yet.

QUOTE (Real @ May 3, 2011 -> 02:26 PM) I have? Nice Well I clearly remember you telling us that the Bulls were outclassed in talent by the Spurs. QUOTE (chw42 @ May 3, 2011 -> 02:37 PM) This series isn't even my biggest concern. The Bulls can still win without a dominant Rose. But there's no way in hell they can get past Boston or Miami with him shooting 3s all day and not being aggressive. Indeed. This series wont be too much of a problem, with or with out Rose being 100 percent. That being said, even if Derrick is healthy, this team just needs a swift kick in the nuts. I know we've played down to our competition most of the season but it's about time for this team to wake the f*** up and start playing like they're capable of. No matter how you look at it, we've been bad so far since the playoffs started and I don't want to have to "turn the switch on" in a series against Miami/Boston.
