QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:54 AM) I think the big name guys deserve their own thread so you can follow the specifics regarding such player. That was in jest, should have been in green

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:53 AM) I know it originated when the Sox were interested in Griffey Jr., but was it during the 2005 season? Yeah, because it was Rowand that would have been displaced

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:25 AM) Why would Greinke cost that much more than Dempster? Because Caulfield said their GM would laugh at us, thats why

Maybe we should make a "Miami Marlins on the block" mega thread.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:49 AM) Fixed they for you. They randomly got lucky and won the lottery and got a star. Beyond that, they've shown zero initiative nor ability to field a true contender. Teams like the Celtics and Lakers force deals and spend the luxury tax to build Championship quality teams. The Bulls used to be mentioned in the same breath as the great franchises in the NBA, but the 6 trophies are getting further and further away, and now our great hope in Derrick Rose may never be the same again. Don't worry, though, we're a lock for a 7 seed and nowhere near the lottery. We're money! Dont Panic. Patrick Beverley and Malcolm Thomas are on the way

lol BUT WHERE WOULD HE PLAY??? Soxtalk classic

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:18 AM) Why would they want to move him? They want to win and he is a valuable piece to winning. They want to move some of the bums it appears. Yeah, Infante and Sanchez are bums

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 08:42 AM) You won't be saying that come Week 2. You have been remarkably civil even when GB is thrashing the Bears.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 08:49 AM) Where the hell did Oakland come from? http://www.oaklandnet.com/celebrate/Historytimeline.htm

I will say this: KW never pulled the rug out from under Ozzie like what we may see in the next month from Beinfest.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 07:26 AM) True, but his overall results don't match his talent. He has his Cy Young year and is unbeatable at Miller Park. But his road results in the NL have been below average, and his other seasons in KC were solid, but not dominant by any means. Im not saying we should think he is the best ever, but it is not hard to understand why organizations want a pitcher like Greinke. Everyone wants to be the organization he is with when he puts it all together again

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 02:02 PM) I will never understand the Greinke love Why? The kid is amazingly talented

Epic heel turn by punk

Lita was holy s*** hot tonite

Well Backlund was wrong or they changed it because he let it slip

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 05:23 PM) Is this a guess? Or did you see it somewhere? I believe Bob Backlund let it slip in an interview after his RAW appearance a few weeks ago

QUOTE (Carter224 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 07:14 PM) Oh whatever, if they had done something immediately it wouldn't have been anywhere near as bad. If they did something immediately, Joe Pa could have been a hero IMO. But I think they honestly thought they could completely bury it

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 05:36 PM) Well there was a lot less CGI used in the last two movies. Batman Begins was supposed to have such a dark overtone which was particularly grimy, and influenced by crime. Essentially, it was supposed to be ghetto Gotham as the crimelords didn't care for the city, nor the people in it. Wayne's father was trying to keep it alive. One of the symbols of that is the Narrows/EL and it being all tagged up. The Chicago Board of Trade was primarily used as Wayne's HQ along with Wayne's Manor(which was shot in England I believe) in Batman Begins. In the 2nd one, it's the Daley Center IIRC. There really wasnt too much CGI in the first, really. Basically seeing through the eyes of the people who were on gas, and when the gas was released into the city. I love that Nolan stays away from CGI as much as he can

My twisted logic on the vacated wins is this: Paterno and the higher ups chose to hide this evil deed(s) from the public in order to shield their program from any negativity they would get from the reaction that the fabled D-Coordinator was in fact a child rapist. While there was no outright visible competitive advantage, there was an advantage that nobody knew, so recruits wouldnt be scared off, donors wouldnt withhold donations, the program maintained its pristine image. There was a benefit to the program to keep this under lock and key. The vacated wins are symbolic, nothing else. Those games were won, fair and square. But now in the books, everyone has to see Paterno down at 12 instead of 1, and they will always know why that was. It is a point that will never be forgotten. Thats just my opinion Here are some twitter reactions to the sanctions http://deadspin.com/5928385/i-hope-u-all-f...tate-punishment

Austin is gonna give Slater the stunner. That will be fun

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 03:46 PM) I'll bet you right now we still gonna win 50 games this year. I have no idea why you over rate our old bench so much and under rate our new bench so much. Yeah, Foye and Bellineli are garbage...but C.J. Watson and Brewer, there were some great players! right? Brewer still hasn't been picked up by anyone yet btw You are out of your damn mind

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 03:46 PM) Barring grabbing a star, no offseason would make anyone very happy. This team isn't going to win a title or be looked at as a title team until Rose can show he can get back to where he was. Come on Gage, the Bulls rolled out the red carpet for Hinrich while Dallas snags Mayo. That right there is absolute bulls***. Same price.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 03:42 PM) Well other people on this page agree that Foye and Bellinili are quality bench players so you can ROFL and LMAO at them too. You're just a malcontent KY No, Im pissed off at this management that you hold in such high regard that you cannot see how bad of an offseason they are having. Big difference. These replacement players are GARBAGE. This team is going to be absolute brutality on the eyes

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 03:39 PM) No, I wouldn't laugh at other teams signing quality bench depth. Some signings I'm not so crazy about, like Nazr Muhammed? I don't like that guy. I really think people like you are upset because you just havent seen these guys play yet. The moment you see our bench clicking and doing well, and our starters healthy, and Stacey King thinking up new nicknames for these guys....you'll love them, you'll cheer for them, you'll forget you were every complaining about these signings. Our old bench was not that good. The only reason they were good, is because of their defense and their chemistry. Well I'm not seeing anybody here clamoring for us to re-sign Asik and Brewer, so the defense is gone. Now we're signing guys who can score. It'll be a different bench, it'll take a while for the chemistry to get there, but I definitely believe this bench can be better than our old bench. Especially when all our starters are healthy again. This is good depth here. LMAO. I stopped right there

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 03:33 PM) At some point, you have to accept circumstances and stop whining. And by 'you', I mean every Bulls fan everywhere. Yeah, Derrick tore his ACl. Yeah, it limited our options. Yeah, it sucks. Lets move on now and can we try to be a little optimistic about changing our bench around for the better now? f*** that. Im not going to be optimistic about this. If other contenders were signing these players I would be laughing at them. Im not even factoring in Derrick here. This offseason is dogs*** and you know it, you just wont admit it. There is such a thing as trying to get better without Derrick around.
