QUOTE (Tony82087 @ May 18, 2011 -> 11:11 PM) Miami did what they needed to do and take a game in Chicago, but if you were a Heat fan, would you even feel that good after this one? The Bulls were TERRIBLE from the field all night, as well as the FT line, and it was a 3 point game with 2 minutes left. Uh, yes. The Heat got to loose balls and played with energy. The Bulls don't shoot well and that isn't really going to change against a good defensive team. If they don't get second chances, they will lose. They will shoot better I hope. The free throws are another story of course.

game over. Oh, and you can't say LeBron doesn't close. He has taken over this game.

62% free throw shooting. In the end, they can't even hit undefended shots.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ May 18, 2011 -> 11:00 PM) sick effort. i mean you can only stop miami so many times and not put up points. 7-21 DROSE 5-14 DENG You do realize that Miami has one of the best defenses in the game? Korver has to sit. He can't hit a shot and can't defend.

James taking over.

Bulls seem better getting to defensive rebounds. Still can't hit shots and I don't know if I want Korver out there.

Haslem is killing the bulls

Can't blame refs when you can't hit a shot and can't get rebounds.

Be aware that they don't hand out credit like it's 1998. Research is key. One option if you don't have credit is to get a secured card. Your limit is whatever you put up as collateral. Male sure the card reports to a credit agency otherwise you are wasting time. After about 6 months you will be able to get a real card. For a first card, rewards might be tough to come. Low fees are more important. It doesn't take long before you can upgrade. Oh an if you aren't receiving offers in the mail, then you are more likely to need a secured card. They target anyone that has decent credit.

Is this good enough for everyone?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 5, 2011 -> 12:44 PM) I don't mean to quote myself, but can someone tell why they were armed with water guns? What exactly is the purpose here? It's not like you could even disguise those as real guns. Maybe it was just evidence replacement? There were kids in the house.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 5, 2011 -> 10:37 AM) I'm not a big tech guy, but I think it'd be incredibly difficult to doctor a fake death picture. The ones that supposedly went around the last couple of days were quickly pegged as obvious fakes. Maybe I couldn't determine if it was a fake, but I would trust that an expert would look at it and try to authenticate it to a reasonable degree. I would argue that you don't have to doctor the photo. If you really wanted to fake it, it could be a very good dummy in the picture. If I don't want to believe he is dead, there is always an excuse not to believe.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 5, 2011 -> 10:22 AM) As a hypothetical, if Iranian state television claimed that Iranian troops killed President Bush, and I was forced to believe only what I was told by Iranian politicians and offices, with a few pictures of the after math, I don't think I'd have much of a problem with them publishing a picture proving their allegations true. I'd be skeptical of the news. You guys are forgetting that a good chunk of people out there, our supposed enemies, don't trust what we say and are brain-washed into believing that we're a bunch of murdering liars. Why would you believe the pictures? I think the fact that no word has come from OBL since his death is proof enough.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 5, 2011 -> 10:04 AM) Mully mentioned this morning an unnamed source from the Bulls hospital said that Boozer has a broken toe, and his ankle is still pretty messed up. He prefaced it by saying that it is unsubstantiated, but it makes a lot of sense That was a texter who "knows a doctor at Rush." Maybe it's true, but I highly doubt it.

Rose's decision making in the air has been really bad. It's a dangerous move than he seems to do so well, but it aint workin right now.

Uh oh. Adidas just told me that d rose is "all in".

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ May 4, 2011 -> 06:01 PM) I can respect the view that this has been a debacle since '06....but I see firing Guillen and KW both as throwing the baby out with the bath water. Nearly every year it's been a matter of performance...outside of last year, when have we gone into a season as an underdog? We're consistently picked to finish 1st or 2nd in the division at the beginning of each season. The rosters are there, the performance isn't. By all means, fire KW, but atleast see how another manager does with these "good on paper" rosters before doing so. I have come to the conclusion, rightly or wrongly, that performance problems stem from lack of accountability. It's not like anyone wants to fail, but when it doesn't really matter whether the manager's kids act like idiots, and the GM and manager are fighting, and you have year after year of failure and nothing happens to anyone, then it is just easy to stop pushing. I just don't think it coincidence that Ozzie's best seasons were in his first 3 years. I don't know why I quoted you. I actually think KW should get another chance with a new manager.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 4, 2011 -> 05:55 PM) Leadership has to lead, from the FO on down. KW hasnt had the f***ing balls to do something about a team that chronically underachieves every year but one. The entire organization lacks direction IMO, and it all starts at the top, KW. That's on Reinsdorf to some extent. After last year's feud and family nonsense someone had to go and Reinsdorf just is not interested in making tough decisions anymore.

I was referring to the legal determination, not the award, which I don't agree with either.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:19 PM) Those are the stories where you worry about Judges in America. I'm not convinced that the judges were actually wrong although the 5th Circuits decision is sparse and poorly written. She didn't really have speech rights in her capacity as cheerleader. She most certainly did in her capacity as student, but that doesn't matter. It's easy to blame the judges, but the incident never happens if the principal gave a crap about his students.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 4, 2011 -> 10:33 AM) I think the reason Kenny has been given such a leash by fans is that he's so fun and so ready to make the big splash. He thinks like a fan. He gets us all riled up because, really, no player is off-limits. IM GONNA GET ME KEN GRIFFEY JUNIOR! IM SNAGGIN ME SOME MAN-RAM! GEMME DAT PEAVY! That's fan talk. Hell, that's me talk. I need someone who thinks very differently from myself running this team. Kenny has been getting b****-slapped by the league for five solid seasons now. Is he Carlos Boozer?

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ May 3, 2011 -> 04:15 PM) I will try that.. is that a limited run from three floyds? No it isn't limited run, but last time I was in Chicago it was nowhere to be found. Those Bells selections are good too.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ May 3, 2011 -> 02:43 PM) Going to longman and eagle for my birthday dinner today, so excited!! Anyone care to recommend me a beer from this menu? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and consumed http://longmanandeagle.com/wp-content/uplo...2/beer_menu.pdf One of everything. Do you have a style you enjoy? If it were me, I might take a Robert the Bruce (about as good a scotch ale as there is).

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 3, 2011 -> 09:07 AM) Where in the EO text does it say "Head of state"? Here's the Wiki version: Does the word "Assassination" imply "head of state"? Isn't attempting to shoot a political figure an assassination (i.e. Rep. Giffords, for example). It does not mean head of state. By the strict letter of the law, the action was against the EO. However, that EO has not strictly applied to terrorists since the Clinton administration. Washington Post

B&B have been saying this for years. It has nothing to do with this season. Yet the Sox keep bringing him back and they have never explained why.
