QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 20, 2010 -> 09:02 PM) Lake Zurich 21, St. Rita 0 Bears back to Champaign vs. Wheaton Warrenville South. Go Bears I see you made sure to make this thread the week after Stevenson was eliminated. Still got that W over Lake Zurich earlier in the season, so take that Sonik.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 20, 2010 -> 04:15 PM) Hate the short hair I agree with that.

I can look at Emma Watson pictures online, don't need to see the movie.

After Boise destroys Nevada and Alabama beats Auburn next week, the Broncos should be right in line to win the National Title!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 07:52 PM) Better hitter? 2010 was the first time his OBP was over .300. If you don't like AJ, you won't like Olivo. Yes, the last two years he's been a better than AJ, period.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 06:31 PM) Agreed. We play that you should have to have the car in eyesight too. Absolutely.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 07:19 PM) They really don't need a slap-hitter guy like him. Pierre's already in LF and Rios is a far better CF. Why waste a DH spot on him? Johnny Damon is far from a "slap-hitter."

Well at this point he's a better hitter and much better at throwing runners out than AJ. I guess the two questions would be the price tag and how well he can handle a pitching staff.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 05:24 PM) You make Noah sound as bad as Dwight Howard from the FT line. Are we thinking other teams are going to go into Hack a Noah mode now or something? That'd be fantastic. Not going to happen with a 70+ ft shooter but I'd be all for it!

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 10:59 PM) I've seen Noah turn the ball over probably 10 times in the last two weeks when he tries to bring the ball up the court. Rose needs to go get that ball from him right away. Also, I know he made the FT last night, but the Bulls are going to lose a game or two this year cause they put the ball in Noah's hands at the end of the game when the other team is trying to foul. Noah has been just fine at the ft line the last few years. Obviously he shouldn't be the first choice to get the ball in those situations but it's certainly not the end of the world if you do.

QUOTE (Real @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 11:43 PM) Ronnie Brewer is awesome. Asik is a beast. lol You're using just Brewer and Asik to compare overall talent levels? Really?

QUOTE (Real @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 10:40 PM) Bulls cant hold the Spurs jock, the difference in talent is hilarious Bulls lose this game by at least 18 Well that's just crazy talk.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 10:36 PM) Under McDermott, we win that game 64-44. Heh, fair enough(once again, you were right about him, I was wrong), wasn't trying to take anything away from the Clones, just stating how absolutely horrid the Valley is this season.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 10:27 PM) I'll admit I'm wrong but I've seen enough U of I teams under Weber underperform to never take them too seriously. Yes, the MVC is just really bad this year. Just hoping my birds stay out of the thursday games in st. louis because it won't be as much fun if they don't make it to friday. At least those games will be televised this year so I can watch SIU when we're in it. It was awful enough being in that game to begin with but having to listen to it through a computer stream was pretty brutal, not to mention losing on a buzzer beater.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 11:04 PM) I like MSU and OSU. Don't see Purdue or UIUC living up to the hype. Completely disagree about U of I, that team is seriously talented and they got a great chance to make a deep run this year. And even with out Hummel, Purdue was able to make it to the s16 last season(Kramer is a big loss though) so lets not count them out just yet and you forgot to mention Wisconsin who as usual seems to be completely overlooked by everyone. And obviously OSU and MSU are legit National Title contenders. The big 10 is not overrated this season. QUOTE (Heads22 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 11:06 PM) Feels great to completely s***pound a Valley team for the first time in a long time. Final was Iowa State 91, Drake 43 and it wasn't that close. It was 77-28 at one point. Iowa State could be real dangerous next year with Royce White, Chris Allen, Anthony Booker, Chris Babb and Scott Christopherson. And yes, Lutz was a major coup. The Valley sucks this season. WSU can play with the majority of the teams in the country but after that you have Missouri State who is solid but not spectacular and then you have pretty much garbage and the bottom half of the league is about as bad as I can ever remember it. It's awful.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) Big Ten is overrated as usual. The top of the big 10 is ridiculously good this year.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 09:23 AM) Raise your hand if you thought the Bulls would have a better record than the Heat.... I didn't. The Heat and the Lakers were the two teams that I didn't believe the Bulls would be able to compete with. Especially when we get Carlos back, we're going to be able to absolutely murder Miami inside, I'm becoming a believer.

Man, some of you guys are over critical of Ronnie. This team doesn't really need much offensive production from the 2 guard spot, as long as him and Bogans are defending, we're fine. Anyways, Rose is averaging 25 and 9 now, are you f***in kidding me? He's ridiculous And Korver is shooting 61 percent from 3, if that guy is somewhat open, he just doesn't miss. This team is really, really good. Once we get Carlos back, we're going to be able to compete with just about anyone in a 7 game series, I'm quite excited.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) Butler is not impressive at all. I would say that they look quite horrendous today.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 05:03 PM) Well, lets see if these Buckeyes are for real. They are. Your guys talent is fantastic this season.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 05:48 PM) Ooops, I missed where he said Sale. Well I'd definitely give up one of Danks/Sale, Viciedo and Morel for Upton and another piece. That I agree with.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 04:40 PM) You're smokin' dope or somethin'. I'd give up ANYTHING for Justin Upton. My mom, dad, cousins, whatever. If what it took was one of Danks/Floyd, Viciedo and Morel then it's a wrap for me. Justin Upton is a unique talent that hasn't even sniffed his prime. You're going to give up Danks, Sale, Viciedo and Morel for Upton? Yeesh. I like Justin Upton as much as the next guy but trading that much talent for one guy is just too damn much imo.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 01:12 PM) For a 39 year old former steroid abuser who missed about 1/3 of last season with injuries and can't play the field any more? Manny was only worth about $6 million last year according to fangraphs. You might call that a bargain, but it's certainly not a ridiculous one. Just like there is no way PK matches his numbers from last season, there's no way that Manny is as non-existent next season. He's worth 5.5 easily imo. All the sudden you have a middle of the order hitter and you didn't have to cough up any talent or 10+ mill to get him and you should still have some flexibility to bring in another very good player, whether that's via trade or fa.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 11:53 AM) We are desperate for offense. Manny led the team in OBP and pitches seen per PA. And that's coming off injury. If the training staff thinks they can keep him healthy, this would be a no-brainer I agree. 5.5 for Manny seems like a ridiculous bargain.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 11:23 AM) Nobody called a time out. WTF There is a reason you can't just verbally call a time out. Any fan from the crowd can shout it. Thought only one who could verbally call for time is the coach. Whatever man, we got 2 free throws earlier in the half for that bogus technical they got. The refs didn't hose us, we're just garbage.
