What the hell Micah, at least reach for it

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ May 5, 2015 -> 03:39 PM) They can put Lebron on Rose all they want, but it won't deter our offense the way it did in 2011, Butler and Gasol are a lot better shot creators and makers than Deng and Boozer. The other thing is Rose has had a lot more confidence and success with his 20 ft jump shot late in games than he did back in 2011, he actually had a couple against Lebron last night as well, so he doesn't have to take Lebron to the hoop every play. This actually worries me

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 5, 2015 -> 02:20 PM) You know what annoys me? When I write 2k words and my argument gets reduced to an absurd straw man. What's the point of even posting? I've articulated an internally consistent argument and it gets reduced to "you think Carlos Sanchez will fix everything". That's not discourse, that's middle school level "nanannaana booooo boo" crap and for the 2nd day in a row I'm going to take a break. Cya guys tmr. Go Sox. Almost as annoying as your "take my ball and go home approach", or constantly questioning why raBBit is a mod. How come its ok for you to sling insults when you are arguing with anyone about anything, but the minute someone does it to you, you say "Im going home now i will come back tomorrow"? Hell, just 3 days ago you told buckweaver to toughen up over other posters criticism in his stance. Everyone is arguing here, nobody is happy with the direction of the team. If you can dish it out, you sure as hell should be able to take it.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 5, 2015 -> 11:50 AM) Has anybody ever been the best free agent signing in two straight offseasons? Nelson Cruz may take that title, what a monster so far. getting all of the offense out before its time to pee in a cup

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 5, 2015 -> 11:47 AM) I have heard many reporters say that if they go deep, they will work it out. I've also heard from multiple people, including an insider who works in the front office of a different team in the playoffs (whose best friends with my best friend...I won't go any further than that), that this is a Gar and Thibbs issue and not a Pax and Thibbs issue. I've also heard it isn't near as bad as is reported and there are other teams putting pills out their as well in hopes to land Thibbs. I sincerely hope you are right, I really do. All I know is when KC Johnson gave up on any sort of resolving the issue, I gave up on it. KC has been the mouthpiece for a while. He isnt always 100 percent right, but he is usually on point. Earlier this season he was in the "just win and work it out camp", and that changed in February

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 5, 2015 -> 11:41 AM) I am going to point one thing out...Woj doesn't like the Bulls front office, he never has. We don't share leaks with him and he's gone out of his way to bash Gar / Pax. I would take a lot of these with a grain of salt. Woj sits from a perch and he is the best at getting inside info but he is also the best at smearing and putting out bad campaigns to those who don't give him that information. And I love Thibbs. The players love Thibbs and I really hope when this year is done, Thibbs / Gar / Pax / JR all enjoy some cigars, put on championship rings, and sing koombaf***ing ya and go out and win some more!!! Thibbs4Ever! There are a lot of grains of salt to take, his piece reflects what pretty much every reporter is saying. There is nobody in chicago that has an opinion "they can work this out if they win"

so, Jason just binge-read and binge-responded to this thread

QUOTE (bmags @ May 5, 2015 -> 09:48 AM) Wasn't that incredible? Man, I'd kind of stopped reading that stuff, didn't want to believe it. Also, I hate bernstein and Cowley. But that was some pretty damning stuff. GarPax are competent if not above average at putting together teams, but they are psychotic egomaniacs. edit: I apologize for not linking, trying to go through twitter feed. I just dont get it. The only thing I have heard about Thibs is that he is stubborn. Not undermining, not mean, not a guy who will smile to your face and stab you in the back, just stubborn. If the story is true and these people feel like they have been bugged, I just dont know what to say, that is insane. it seems like Garpax feel like they should be coaching. f*** it, come down from your perch and coach them if you feel like Thibs isnt good enough. Dont hire someone else to fire later, you have gotten plenty of guys to line up and knock down. Show us how its done

QUOTE (bmags @ May 5, 2015 -> 09:39 AM) Did anyone read Woj's article? I turned my fan on before I read it

He is ok. I think it was just a stinger

QUOTE (bmags @ May 4, 2015 -> 08:20 PM) Jimmy traveled pretty bad Traveling is an ambiguous and undefinable thing in this game

Offense is getting stupid out there right now

a few years ago i just said f*** it and bought those Ace knee braces, and it has actually helped me a lot. My knees dont bother me much, if at all after the games. Its just the quads and my back that tighten up. Before the braces, there was a lot of post game knee popping and ankle popping.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 4, 2015 -> 01:02 PM) He should have kept his mouth shut (vs. making the comment if he doesn't go in first two days, he wouldn't sign). In hindsight, he probably would have been best served getting drafted as if he got drafted he could have at least been able to sit out a year and re-enter but since he went undrafted, he now is a mere UDFA (since league isn't going to let him re-enter). That said, maybe that works better for him in long run as he is just 3 years removed from being a FA? bad agent advise. They misunderstood the draft process

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 4, 2015 -> 12:49 PM) I guess what I'm wondering is, can he sign a one year deal, no longer be a rookie and then get a big deal in 2016 assuming he proves it? I wonder what team would allow him to do that though. He basically is at the mercy of the NFL front offices now because of what his agents advised him. Why would anyone offer him a prove it deal knowing he is a first round talent? Any team is going to want to give him a lengthy contract as opposed to watching him bolt after one year

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ May 4, 2015 -> 11:46 AM) Finally got to play my first full 7 inning (plus one extra inning) game on Thursday. They put me at first base and I caught everything they threw at me including a few low throws that I had to pick out of the dirt and a few with the sun directly in my eyes. Even managed an unorthodox DP by catching a runner trying to go from 2nd to 3rd on an infield grounder. I'm glad I played well but I really don't like playing first. Probably my least favorite position besides catcher. My swing was all off because I kept hitting everything off the handle of the bat. I even struck out once on a pitch that was high and outside. I'm pretty sure it was because we were already in the 8th inning and the ump wanted to move the game along. The game before us had gone into extras as well so we were running pretty late. I'm sooo out of shape though. Finally today I'm able to walk around without my legs hurting so much. We have a DH at the end of May that might just kill me. Every friday i walk like an old man at work

there were some twitter rumors that the Bears were extremely frugal with UDFA this year because they want to make a run at Collins

Im so disappointed in this young season, that is my confession
