It's hard to taint that post... it's a good one.

That's a must-own.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 01:53 PM) It's all over the web now... we can discuss this in the light of day. D-Rose is the first Bull selected to the all-star game since Michael Jordan. I am, however, still unlikely to watch the game. That's what DVR is for... that and the skills competition will be worth speeding through to see how D-Rose performs.

Finally.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 10:57 AM) http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AkTu...n&type=lgns Interesting tidbit, I'd hate to just give away this season after the bulls fought so nice to go .500 but.... hmmmmmm It'd be incredibe to be rid of Kirk's contract.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 12:16 AM) I'll take Amare. You'd be foolish to make him the "man" however. I also wouldn't give him max money, I'm sure some team will though. Posts like this really annoy me. Well, no... you WONT take Amare, because it is with 100% certainty that he gets a max deal. So you just made a completely contradictory post that was a waste of everyone's time.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 10:23 PM) I want no part of Amare. Exactly. Paying him to be your franchise savior has "bust" written all over it.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 05:44 PM) Wouldn't the alternative be a $300 netbook and not a $1500-2000 Macbook? You are speaking to fanboys with Apple blinders on.

Laugh all you want Sqwert, but this happens and there's record of it happening all the time. The last two times I went to Vegas I pulled off the sandwich with a $20 and got free upgrades from a normal hotel room to a suite. (10/08 - Mirage, 10/09 - PH) I don't think the f***s working at the counter make so much that $20 doesn't make them happy. I'm 2/2, so I'll go ahead and say this works wonders in Vegas.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 03:08 PM) I just dunno... anything short of Bosh to me is failure. Bosh has been rumored to come here for so long now, he's been wanting out of Toronto, he's said he's wanted to play for the bulls (apparently), it makes so much sense for him to be the guy. You pair him with Rose and Noah and you got an actual contending team. I've learned since 1999 it's best to keep your hopes down when it comes to the Chicago Bulls.

Zoom hit the nail on the head. That is exactly how I forsee things acting out.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 10:51 AM) Part of the issue is you still have to be a destination where big time players want to go. It doesn't matter how much cap room you have, if you suck, no one is going to want to come here for just Rose. No one's going to say "no" because Kirk is off the roster, either.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 10:18 AM) Explains why they looked so bad in the Vancouver game. Eh, I doubt this was out of the ordinary for these guys. They outshot the Canucks 44-28, and just ran into a hot goaltender.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 10:47 AM) Ilgauskas's deal expires. Who cares about our backcourt? Play Devin Brown 35 MPG for all I care if it clears Hinrich's deal. ftw!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 10:48 AM) I'm starting to think more and more that Blalock will continue to fall through the cracks, and we'll sign him for cheap just before ST starts. LH bat for DH, occasional relief at 1B and 3B. IIRC Mr. Blalock can hit a jack in a big spot at the Cell!

"A guy like Jim, he's not going to just come off the bench," Gardenhire said. "We'll get plenty of at-bats for him. Kubel's my DH, and Delmon's my left fielder, and we all know that going into it, and Jim's going to play a role off the bench and spot play at DH." Translation: "Jim isn't going to come off the bench, he's going to come off the bench."

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 09:31 AM) For some reason I dont picture Kaner with a huge guido cross on. And both of them totally shave their chests? Seems like a photochop. That last image seems pretty impossible to photoshop.

Hm. Thome on the Twins... I'll cheer him until he makes it sting.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 26, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) No team starting Jim Bob-Hicks will ever win a World Series. I pray you are incorrect.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 26, 2010 -> 03:28 PM) Steve, Dont you get it. There are about 3 people in this thread that understand more than everyone else. The rest of us should just take what they say as canon. And there's one guy in this thread who is definitively correct about everything because he has seen every baseball game over the last 10 years. He's got f***in' Majors, AAA, Japan, all of em... he's seen EVERY BASEBALL GAME. You know that highschool game over at Roberto Clemente on the North Side at the end of August? He was there.... f***in binoculars and everything.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 26, 2010 -> 02:49 PM) No, I used 10 years of listening and watching to the Twins, almost as many as White Sox games. So you've watched almost every Royals, Twins, and White Sox game over the last 10 years? GMAB.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 26, 2010 -> 03:12 PM) Yes, Steve. But weren't the same things said about Nick Swisher and Alex Rios??? Why were we so atrocious at home? Can anyone explain that, especially after 2008, and historically, when it has been the opposite. If anything, I worry about a player like Teahen (just like Ramirez/Uribe) thinking they're sluggers at USCF, adjusting their swing and popping up a ton of balls (like Crede or Thomas) to the outfield. Of course, Hawk will be there with his "just missed it, dad gummit" comments now and again, but it won't change the end results. Someone doesn't understand TIFWIW, eh? I'm just regurgitating what Bernstein brought up minutes ago.
