Baseball is so impossibly slow. Abreu has been the next AL batter up for 40 minutes. And the NL is still batting. Yet they haven't even scored. Inexcusable. They need to address the speed of the game immediately, or I won't be the only one moving along.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 05:35 PM) Whoops...In that case well played. Ah, I see, already covered. Yes, Jimmy noBuckets.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 05:20 PM) You're better than this. Doug isn't playing SG and that nickname is turrable. Read my comment again. It said "noBuckets", which is what I call Jimmy Buckets, since he shoots 38%. McBuckets has been nuts in Summer League and shoots the ball like a mad man off the screen and has me pretty excited.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 10:25 AM) http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/07/brad...unted-deal.html I don't really understand what the Astros are doing here. If they can't sign Aiken then they don't have enough $$ to sign their 2nd round pick because of losing the slot amount for the #1 pick. What happens if Aiken doesn't sign? Can he become a free agent right away? If so, I bet Aiken would receive $20+ million on the open market and I would hope that the White Sox would be involved. That'd be the worst thing ever - then every player drafted would just refuse to sign and then get an exorbitant free agent contract.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 05:04 PM) Who? George or Love? Cause on this roster, I'm taking George over Love. To be frank I'm doing that on most rosters. Love is a great two way player (presuming you can get some of his off the court issues that turned into on the court issues taken care of). I was talking about Paul George. For this roster, he'd be absolutely filthy. Deadly from 3 point range and a lockdown defender at SG (move noBuckets to SF where he belongs).

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 04:51 PM) I have had three interviews with a company and they just now called my references, hope that is a good sign! Good luck!

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 04:11 PM) Got a job offer in Iowa. Waiting for my wife's work to clear her to work from home (she's currently based out of their offices near Chicago). If she's cleared, we're off to Iowa City! Congrats!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 04:57 PM) I think I'd rather have Paul George then Kevin Love, all things considered. Or at least consider it. Like I said, my listing was in no particular order, just a random 5 I have who was better then Love. He'd be filthy on this roster.

Kyle Orton was released.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 04:38 PM) What channel is it on? Not on nba network DVR the replay at 4am. http://www.nba.com/nbatv/schedule/

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 01:05 PM) Wait...I did buy mine at Best Buy. What can I do? Will they replace it and do the warranty stuff for me (if it has been less then 1 yr)? Depends on whether your insurance is charged to your carrier or Best Buy. If it's the latter, then you're money.

Rise Against is back. Now back to your regularly scheduled Music Thread where no one really converses, we all just talk about what we like. :-D

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 04:16 PM) Dougie McBuckets looking good again. Quick release, doesn't need a lot of room to get his shot off. 13 points at the half...3/5 from 3. It's Summer League. It's good, but it's Summer League.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 03:52 PM) Boozer officially amnestied per Sam Smith So much for that. At least he's gone.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 12:58 PM) Nope, 17th. 16th

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 12:52 PM) I believe the deadline to Amnesty Boozer is today. Tomorrow, per everything written everywhere forever.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 08:51 AM) It is being investigated. I'd imagine it has something to do with the code that was added for the Google Custom Search.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 05:32 PM) Never have I had a phone fail on me. My S4 bricked today. Didn't drop it or anything, was checking my email and screen went green. Turned it off and screen is black. Total goner. Barely 6 months old. Called Samsung so sending it in. I'm sure they'll find some semblance of something that happened to the phone which voided my warranty. Sprint did say they'd get me a replacement for $75, however, I am cheap and want free. Will go back to my old iphone for a week. Not impressed though. This is why you buy your phones at Best Buy. Also, I'm done with Androids. iPhone 6 will be mine.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 12:35 PM) Nobody is taking boozer, but also they then couldn't sign Pau, and the Wolves already have Love and Pekovic as offensive forwards who cannot guard. That would not really get Bulls anywhere. Also, I'm not really wanting to become the Knicks trading away our draft picks at every turn just to dump players. The Wolves have s*** and they know it. They're going to have Andrew Wiggins soon enough and be in full-on rebuild mode. That's why you give them the picks to take Boozer while also taking the contract they're trying to toss into every Love deal in Kevin Martin.
