Corona is good. Japanese beer is excellent.

Abe leads!!!!!

The sox sucked in 2000. They might as well not made it. That will be the last time you call me a name, and yes the cubs are the last thing on my mind if the sox make the playoffs. Im trying to figure out why you think you know whats on my mind better than i do.........go sober up or whatever you need to do......... The Sox sucked in 2000? There's a new one Obviously the cubs aren't the last thing on your mind considering you've been talking about them this whole tread. Interesting, huh? If you didn't care you wouldn't even post about it would you Bottom line is they made the playoffs, we didn't, they can talk all they want right now. And yes you are an idiot if you think there is no difference between making the playoffs and not making the playoffs. Sox fans should just keep their mouth shut at this point and just hope the Cubs lose. I like how you already think they are going to get swept...so if they win a game then you'll finally shut up? Go sober up? How about you go wise up. It's a lost cause trying to argue sox/cubs at this point, give it up already. I'd love to see your reaction if the sox made it and the cubs didn't and the cubs fans b****ed....we'd all laugh our asses off now wouldn't we. Nope. Again, id have no interest in the Cubs if the sox made the playoffs. Again, I only responded to this fool because hes trolling on a sox site. Again, you have no f***ing clue what im thinking. You might want to focus on your own thoughts, as they are totally moronic.

Packers 30 Bears 10. That reminds me to walk up to the casino and grab the packers -4 Put me down for some of that action Damn I couldn't live that close to the sportsbooks... Its up to -4 1/2 now lmao, could have been 14 1/2 and it wouldn't have mattered Now go Braves

Yup i said that earlier. All signs point to the sox hiring from within, or a guy theyre VERY familiar with...........

I think Garland is never going to better than he is now he is not a #2 starter with his era and control problems , I would like to see him dealt in the offseason. Honestly, where do people come up with this crap? A 23 year old with loads of potential, who has improved, is never going to get better? Thats as weird of a statement as ive read in a long while............ I have to disagree. I've read several of them just this morning.

COnsiderint Gms always find a way to get one guy on the DL anyway, here is the bulls likely roster. This team is LOADED with talent and DEEP. Yes theyre young, but with Pippen, Gill, marshall and Blount they have enough veterans. Honestly, if they dont have any major injury problems, i cant see them missing the playoffs. CENTER Eddie Curry POWER FWD Tyson Chandler Marcus Fizer Corie Blount SMALL FWD Scottie Pippen Donyell Marshall Eddie Robinson SHOOTING GUARD Jalen Rose Kendall Gill Trenton Hassell POINT GUARD Jamal Crawford K. Hinrich Roger Mason Mason, Hassell, ERob, and Blount probably wont see much action, but are very capable, if needed. I LOVE this team...........especially in the weak east. I see no reason at all they cant finish .500.

Pippen Comes Back to Lead Bill Cartwright is especially pleased to have Scottie Pippen back in Chicago: "I think that he’s going to be just outstanding for the guys,” he said. Posted September 29, 2003 # mybulls... get it now and get Bulls news first. # Point Guards: Crawford Ready for Breakout Season # Shooting Guards: Rose Poised for Career Year The Bulls welcome back a familiar face with the return of Scottie Pippen (6-8, 228 – Central Arkansas ’87). Pippen, who recently turned 38, returns to the Bulls after signing as a free agent on July 20. “It’s interesting because when you bring a veteran in to a team, you always assume that they will want to settle and play less minutes,” said Pippen’s former teammate and new coach, Bill Cartwright. “But with a guy like Pip, you know he’s going to want his minutes. There will be points throughout this season where we’ll allow him to play those minutes, but obviously we’ll want to monitor him and keep him in good shape to make sure he doesn’t break down. I think that with the personnel we have, we’ll be able to do that.” Pippen returns to Chicago after a playing the last five seasons in Houston and Portland. In 2002.03, he helped lead Portland to the playoffs with regular-season averages of 10.8 ppg, 4.5 apg, 4.3 rpg and 1.64 spg. In the process, he extended his postseason appearance streak to 16 seasons in a row. He missed 18 games due to a sore left knee and eventually had surgery on the knee. Portland was 38-20 in the games in which he started. “Pip brings a defensive presence that is probably the best one I’ve ever seen, especially on a championship team,” Cartwright stated. “This guy is phenomenal in how he affects the other team on the defensive end. Now that he’s later on in his career, he really understands the value of team work, team play, and distributing the ball. His assets to this team as far as being on the court are invaluable. He’s a pro. We know he’ll be on time and he’ll talk to the other guys about work ethic. I think that he’s going to be just outstanding for the guys.” Cartwright went on to say that while he feels Pippen’s impact will be felt by all of his teammates, he hopes that he will make an extra effort to show players such as Eddie Robinson and Trenton Hassell “what it means to be a pro in this league.” Chicago also returns a pair of forwards from last year’s squad: Donyell Marshall (6-9, 230 – Connecticut ’94) and Eddie Robinson (6-9, 210 – Central Oklahoma ’99). Marshall, a nine-year veteran, begins his second year with the Bulls. Last season, he appeared in 78 games, making 53 starts, while averaging 13.4 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 1.8 apg, 1.21 spg and 1.09 bpg. His 9.0 rpg led the team and tied him for 10th in the NBA. He also logged a team-high 30 double-doubles (13th in the NBA). He posted two career highs on the year and equaled another: shooting .379 from three-point range, grabbing 699 rebounds and swiping 95 steals (matches career best). Marshall Robinson “The advantage of Donyell is that he’s interchangeable,” Cartwright explained of his ability to play at either the small forward or power forward positions. “We want to put him in the best position so that he can take advantage of his skills. He’s probably our best rebounder right now so he’ll be out there on the court.” The signing of Marshall in August of 2002 paid off in a big way last season and Cartwright expects more of the same this year. “He brings a lot of stability. Donyell was our leader in steals last year along with being our leading rebounder. He brings a lot to our team as far as headiness. He’s a good passer and he’ll probably be our first sub off the bench. He was probably our most consistent player last year. We are going to look to Donyell this year to step up and be more of a leader verbally and he’ll have an opportunity to do that.” Robinson appeared in 64 games last season, making a career-high 18 starts. He averaged 5.7 ppg and a career-high 3.1 rpg, with 1.0 apg. He also shot a career-high .810 from the free throw line. “I’ve always viewed Eddie Robinson as a young guy who is still learning how to play in this league,” Cartwright said. “I think that since he’s been here, he’s gotten better as far as his aggressive posture. Last year we were able to stick him on some good players and he’s capable of doing a good job defending a guy like Allen Iverson. He’s able to take on a challenge like Tracy McGrady and those kinds of players and he’d never done that before in his career.” Given Robinson’s improvement and off-the-charts athleticism, it’s possible that having a mentor like Scottie Pippen is just what the doctor ordered to help him get to the next level. “Eddie is going to benefit from Scottie in talking about basketball, focusing and all those sorts of things,” Cartwright predicted. “We feel like he has made progress and he’s going to be our best athlete this year. There’s no question that he’s a phenomenal athlete; now we just want to put him in a position so he can take advantage of all that athleticism and his ability to score.” Pippen’s return to Chicago reunites him with former championship teammates Bill Cartwright, John Paxson and B.J. Armstrong. Wouldn’t it be fitting if he plays a key role in leading the Bulls back to the playoffs? As Pippen said when he first signed with the Bulls, it’s a streak he doesn’t plan on ending. - Adam Fluck, Bulls.com

Great stuff http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/sf_preview_0304.html

There is NO difference between being swept in round one and finishing 2nd in central. Also, I am not one to be jealous of the cubs or bash them, but when some moron cubs fan comes here trolling, anything he gets is well deserved. What IS "immature" is going to a sox board, when youre a cub fan and saying I told ya so. If the situation were reversed, the LAST thing on my mind would be the Cubs.

Rex, when do you feel Reed will be able to contribute at the big league level?

LMFAO sorry, I burst out laughing..........

LMFAO cub fans are all the same........ Poor fool..........

Is there any difference between not making the playoffs and being swept in the 1st round? Let me know later this week, Im dying to know.

SOme people need an excuse to use. Last time I checked, the players hit, run, field and throw. Sure Jm isnt the manager we need, but hes gone and hes a good man. There is no reason to dwell on the past.

Yeah check this BS out LMFAO 8) Who will represent the National League in the World Series? 36.9% Cubs 36.2% Giants 22.0% Braves 4.9% Marlins

Oh ok thanks. I got nervous cuz on the ESPN site it said National tv and under that game it had NO station.

Anyone know who is carrying tomorrows game on television. Its not on ESPN?

My best friend is a Braves fan. I hate them too, but i hate the cubs even more.

I haven't seen anyone actually pick the Braves...last night the entire sports team from NBC 5 all chose the Cubs to win.. Didn't realize the Brave sucked... I picked the Braves and I put a lot of money on it. Let those other fools pick the cubs, thats how i got the Braves to win teh series at only -128. You bet the Braves to win the series?? Sorry, don't understand baseball betting. Yeah. -128 means you have to bet 128 to win 100 basically. And I didnt bet a lot of money really, just 200.
