QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 06:41 PM) So dumping a player who may be there only for his influence in the clubhouse isn't going to affect the clubhouse? That makes no sense. "Upgrading" over Hudson is absolutely pointless anyway. There is nobody good out there, and if you find someone useful, he's replacing Olmedo. The Hudson stuff is even worse than the complaining over Flowers' lack of offense. Upgrading over Hudson is absolutely not useless, the guy isnt even over the mendoza line. If you can get a solid defender back there so you arent forced to use him OR Olmedo, you do it. I would like to see both of them go, but if it ends up being Hudson I wont shed a tear. I like that you decided he is such a chemistry lynchpin though. Dont let the o-dawg go, the clubhouse will fall apart!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 05:16 PM) Whedon will also develop a pilot TV show for ABC centered in the Marvel universe (no other details here other than that). Rumors are that it is heavily about S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and how they interact with the superheros, as well as interact with the world in the fallout of Loki's invasion. Any way about it, it is awesome. Joss Whedon was born for this

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 05:01 PM) Well.. my excitement for today's game has dropped. Rey Olmedo should NEVER start a game EVER for a team in contention. Well, the gamethread is official now. Cali has cried wolf and declared the game over

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 08:50 PM) Hudson appears to be a clubhouse guy, and if he is, Kenny isn't going to screw with the chemistry to make an upgrade so slight that it probably doesn't even translate to 1 extra win through the rest of the regular season and into the playoffs. Olmedo is someone to upgrade over because he's only been here briefly, but even an upgrade there is far from dire. Whoever is out there, it makes sense to get a guy who can play 3B, pinch run, and preferably someone who has caught a few games before given how often Robin likes to have AJ PH for Flowers. The bat really doesn't matter at all since whoever we would bring in couldn't be expected to contribute offensively anyway. Defense + baserunning + attitude/personality in the clubhouse is all that matters. Removing a guy that plays once a month isnt going to screw with chemistry

Sale striking out Cain and getting pumped walking off the field was an awesome moment. Im loving the fan support, the crowds are getting nicer

I had a discussion with my buddy about Daredevil. Incredibly hard property to translate to a movie. Showing how his blindness is interpreted by him is probably the hardest part. I am looking forward to a F4 reboot though

I dont know why but that alternate Wisconsin jersey makes me think of Alabama

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 03:05 AM) Humber had a hell of a year last year and you don't just luck into a perfect game in the MLB, dude can pitch. The pen may wind up being good for him in a long relief role. Humber had a hell of a first half http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/...;t=p#half_extra Since then, he has been pretty mediocre to bad

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 09:51 PM) It seems consistent, in an overall sense, but the reality is quite different. Take away our current run at home (what is it now, 12-2?) and things are looking quite different. We were one of the best 2-3 road teams in baseball for the first three months of the season until we went to BOS and DET. Who really knows what we are, but winning more consistently at home (especially when there are big crowds and more of an advantage than earlier in the year) is obviously going to be critical. It's kind of like when every analyst speaks for 10-15 minutes before a big NFL or college match-up and then throws out the, "well, it always comes down to special teams." Win your home games, win your games against divisional opponents, things will take care of themselves. So wait, according to you the home record doesnt matter because of their recent good run skewing their previous bad record, but their road record doesnt matter because of a 7 game bad run overshadows a previous 3 month good stretch? WTF?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 09:21 PM) If the Sox somehow made the WS, everything would indeed change. The Sox would be a legitimate baseball power, making it twice since 2005. It would give the Sox a chance to reinvent itself again, to stave off that dumb rebuilding notion for a long time. Cmon Sox, keep it rolling. As long as KW is in charge, there will be no rebuilding. Only retooling on the fly.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 09:19 PM) What happened to Dylan Axelrod? He wasn't THAT bad... Would you DFA Humber in order to let him pitch? Axelrod had a nice few starts, and a few meh starts, but I really dont think the guy has what it takes to be a part of this rotation. He is a nibbler, works a lot with smoke and mirrors, those guys tend to get flushed out once the scouting report catches up to the league. I am done with Humber and I hope that i dont have to see him start anytime soon(which means Floyd needs to get his head out of his ass), but if my choice is between Humber and Axelrod, I am choosing Humber every day and twice on Sunday.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 01:06 PM) The only comparison I made in that comment was about Peja and Marion was like what the Bulls did with Rip. I didnt say anything about them getting a player as good as him because we have Noah and dont need him. You read it wrong sir. Marion had a perfectly normal season. Maybe Peja you could compare to Rip, but not Marion

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:42 PM) Yeah its called looking at a player and recognizing what his skillset is. Beverly is a ball handling/penetrating point guard. He can run the floor, because he's quick. He can put pressure on defenses, because he can handle the ball and drive the lane. Not saying he's going to be anywhere near as good as Derrick Rose. Just pointing out what his skillset consists of, for people who don't know anything about him. Jesus Kyle, you really have a hard on for me. Almost as big as yours for Garpax

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:36 PM) The difference though with Cuban you know you have the owner whose going to go all out and do everything possible to put together a team that will compete for the championship. The Bulls are just a mess and too cautious to make any risky moves. +1

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:24 PM) And it's ridiculous to act like I think Patrick Beverely is some superstar waiting to happen. All I did was report in this thread that the Bulls were interested in signing him, then I posted a youtube video of his highlights here. Pardon me for thinking Bulls fans would want to be kept up to date on the moves the Bulls make. You take that as me being so thrilled about Patrick Beverely, ok, whatever... You're acting ridiculous Kyle. QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 14, 2012 -> 02:06 PM) We're going into the season with 1 proven PG on the roster. PG depth is something we do need. And this guy is never going to play on the court at the same time as Derrick Rose. But if he does, at least he's another guy that can play off him, can run the floor with him and can put pressure on defenses like him. QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 14, 2012 -> 02:12 PM) Just look of his highlights on youtube. Obviously he feels comfortable driving and either drawing contact or finishing. Worst case scenario on offense: PG version of Jimmy Butler. Your own assessment of Beverley. Someone who can run the floor and put pressure on defenses LIKE DERRICK ROSE.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:34 PM) ^ exactly, lol. He'd bash every one of those signings, because none of them are Dwight, Lebron or Kobe. The 2011 Mavs team is exactly the type of team he DOESN'T want us to have. Right, because in every one of my posts, thats what I said, I want one of those three and thats all. Please, tell me more about the D League.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:30 PM) The same Tyson Chandler you've already taken a dump on, past their prime players like Peja and Marion who are similar to what the Bulls tried to do with Rip, Corey Brewer who scored a grand total of 5 points per game for them, and a washed up J Kidd who yes can still pass the ball....All sound like players you'd poo on if the Bulls got them before you even saw them play here. When did I take a dump on Tyson Chandler? You are assuming a lot in this, but thats fine. Malcolm Thomas y'all

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:17 PM) I've never seen you give any great insight to the game, all I've seen you do is whine and poo poo every move the Bulls have made. Again, don't tell me what you were like 2 or 3 offseasons ago. I'm talking about what I'm seeing from you now. And all i see you do is praise it all and throw up youtube videos. And get punked by zoom on the definition of usage and how it applies

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:16 PM) You're right, they stayed garbage and got Westbrook and Harden in the draft...what else have they done? Same sort of thing the Bulls we're doing with Curry and Chandler, just didn't work out that way. What has Mark Cuban done? Yes he won a championship but he didn't make any huge moves to do so...like the Bulls have done. Bulls had the same plan as Miami did, it just didn't happen, cant blame the FO for that. Jalen Rose was coming off 3 straight 18+ ppg seasons and proceeded to put up career highs with the Bulls. (23 ppg his first 30 games, then 22 the following full season) O RLY? Within the 2009-2010 season and through the 2010 free agency they added Tyson Chandler, Jason Kidd, Corey Brewer, Peja Stojakovic and brought in Shawn Marion.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:14 PM) I know what I see and I see that neither one of you has said anything positive about the Bulls in my short tenure here. It's all negativity. If that's the case then it's fair to question your Bulls fandom. I'm sorry if it offends you. Sure, only if I can question your knowledge of the game and the players within it No offense, of course

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:10 PM) Well when you hate everything about the Bulls, it's a fair question to ask. Again, you know not of what you talk about
