QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:15 PM) Ya, but he's in Chicago for the Nike Basketball camp. There are a lot of other guys coming to Chicago for this weekend too. Is he actually headed to meet with the Bulls today? He's meeting with a lot of teams again today, not just the Bulls.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 01:12 PM) Did you even read the article? Because it clearly states they can: The article does not even consider trading Noah, but that would be another way. Because Noah isn't going anywhere. The end.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:28 PM) If he's changing teams, he doesn't have to give any kind of notice does he? No.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 11:42 AM) D'Angelo Jimenez gets a spot as well. I don't think I ever hated a Sox player as much as I hated him. That asshole was the dumbest baseball player I've ever watched in my life.

2006 was probably Ozzie over anyone to be honest because of the Mackowiak-Anderson bulls*** he was pulling in cf.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 09:57 PM) I have to agree with WCSox, calm down people, Kenny knows what this club needs and will do what he can to help it win the divison. He always has, im sure of it. Ya well we thought the same thing in the offseason and the club was left as is. So unfortunately until Kenny does something I'm stuck with believing that we're not going to do anything because for some reason Ozzie thinks this club is perfect.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 04:18 PM) The US is terrible at finishing. Their forwards just aren't very good. They miss Davies. Findley can't finish to save his life and Jozy is still a work in progress. Jozy was just brutal yesterday. That game was just heartbreaking, seriously felt like I got stabbed in the heart on that 2nd Ghana goal.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 02:16 PM) That's actually one of the big reasons why I think we need another impact bat: Alex Rios and Paul Konerko. They're playing out of their minds right now, like WELL above their previous career highs. Konerko's current wOBA: .416 previous highs: .394 (2006) .385 (2005) and Alex Rios' current wOBA: .402 previous highs: .368 (2007) .365 (2006). They've kept this team afloat for much of the year and I really don't know how much longer they can keep up this level of production. Well hopefully Quentin and Beckham can make up a little for the regression that Alex and PK are sure to have. Unfortunately there's much more of a sample size with Konerko and Rios than there is for Q and Becks.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 01:08 PM) I know some people that refuse to wear shorts during the summer no matter how hot it gets. Some people wear shorts even in the winter. Its kind of a funny thing about how some folks get caught up in what they are used to and stick with it no matter what. I used to be the type that would wear jeans all summer long cause my legs were unattractive but now my legs are awesome so I do wear shorts. Never sport the cut off shirts though. I stick with athletic shorts or jeans at all times.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 12:35 PM) I don't recall the exact circumstances but didn't the Angels have like no sleep when they played us in game 1 of the '05 ALCS? And no, I'm not saying the '10 Cubs are similar to the '05 Angels but the travel/sleep thing may be overplayed. Indeed. It's ridiculously overplayed, means absolutely nothing.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 07:53 AM) I am awful at golf. I don't mean I'm a novice - I mean I'm really bad. I tried playing 1-2 times a week for a while one summer to see if I got any better - my "better" was getting my scores into the 105-110 range (I think 105 is the best score I've ever had). More typically I'll hit 120-130 with a few mulligans. I once hit a drive from the tee that went about 4 yards... STRAIGHT BACKWARDS. Another one went about 6 inches forward, and 4 inches buried into the ground. I have broken the door of an electrical box with a ball I hit. I have hit drives that sliced so badly, they didn't just go onto the next fairway, but they literally went to the next one over from that. I eventually switched from righty to lefty at one point, and was equally as bad. Ha, that pretty much sums up my game. I'm not going to lie though, I love it. I've only golfed 3 or 4 times and I've had a blast. I might be the worst golfer on the planet though and that's not an exaggeration.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 11:02 AM) I feel almost like we are being used as a pawn here to lure in a bigger fish.... That's exactly how I feel.

Still wont believe it 'til it happens. The more I read guarantees like that, the more that I feel like I'm being set up for heart break.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 01:02 AM) Stop being so negative and just enjoy the ride, until they actually strike out Eh it's not like the actual season when your team is on a winning streak and you can actually enjoy the moment. There's really nothing to enjoy, it's all speculation and waiting and I just want these next few weeks to come and go so we can get on with this.

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 12:26 AM) There's no way the Bulls strike out. Stop being paranoid. Their combination of talent, cash, and market is well above any of the other teams. It really is the perfect situation to come into. It can't get any better. It's a question of which one(s) sign not if any sign. No LeBron or Bosh=Strikeout.

Heh, apparently this is one of the upcoming 30 for 30's: "Steve Bartman: Catching Hell"

Mauer, Morneau, Cuddyer, Kubel, Liriano and Nathan for Lee.

That's quite the value for the Lakers there.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 09:49 PM) What the f*** is this s***? http://www.clickorlando.com/magic/24029691/detail.html This is some serious bad news for the eastern conference. A healthy Chris Paul and Howard? How does that make any sense for the Hornets?

Love the Kings picks so far today.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:27 PM) My brother is saddening to me. He, like me, loves Kirk. He ONLY wanted D-Wade as a FA. He really DOES NOT want LBJ, Bosh, or JJ. Ha, really?

This series actually worries the hell out of me for some reason.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:59 PM) I'm getting a LeBron jersey if this is going down. You and the rest of Chicago

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:38 PM) Blah. Pitcher wins have pretty much become the most worthless stat in baseball (and that's saying a lot). Gavin just needs to keep doing what he's doing. He is so fun to watch when he's on. I'll admit sometimes I get bored with Buehrle and Danks. Even when they're rolling. Maybe because they're so similar. But I find myself not even wanting to get up to take a s*** when Gavin is dealing. It's a worthless stat for evaluating a pitcher, I don't think anyone would deny that. Might mean something to Gavin though so it would still be nice to see him get a W one of these days since he's been pitching his ass off lately.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 04:23 PM) I’m 95% sure we’re signing LeBron for many reasons. Thibodeau – The Bulls had zero interest until he signed with World Wide Wes. The next day they got on a plane and went to LA to sign him. WWW is LeBron’s agent, and rumor has it this was a down payment to take the lead in the LeBron sweepstakes. Jalen Rose – He’s one of World Wide Wes’s oldest friends, and two days ago said that the Cavaliers have no chance of retaining LeBron, and that it’s down to Chicago and LAC. Come on, we all know LeBron’s not going to play in the same city as Kobe on a bad Clippers team. Bosh – I don’t know if he knew of the Bulls being able to pull off another cap move like the Hinrich one that happened today, but this morning on Mike & Mike he said that it would be very interesting to play with LeBron in Chicago. Bosh later joined Waddle & Silvy on ESPN 1000 and was already alluding to a weekly radio spot with them. Two max + Rose + Noah – The Bulls can win the next 5 championships if those two wanted to play here. Miami seems resigned to Amare and we know that Wade + LeBron will not work out well, there’s too much ego there regardless of what either says. The Knicks suck – The Knicks suck, there is no reason for LeBron to go there and try to win with absolutely nothing on the roster, and even if he brought another player along for the ride, they still wouldn’t stand a chance. World Wide Wes – He himself said he felt strongly that the Bulls were on the top of LeBron’s list. It’s all about Wes. SendLeBronToChicago.com – We’ve been at this for months, and a fat billboard at Grand and LaSalle designed by me clearly has already had an effect on the free agent class and will continue to sway LeBron! It's still too much like a damn dream for me to believe it's going to happen. I'll believe it when it's official.
