KW is on a roll. If we could re-sign PK and Putz and add another pen arm, I'd be ecstatic.

The Rockies non-tendered Delcarmen with the intent on bringing him back on a new deal. Would be a nice addiction though.

QUOTE (Real @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 11:07 PM) Inverted W + Limited IP in his college career + Small frame + high 90's FB = blown UCL before August? That's very optimistic of you.

Very nice. Now we can really take our time with Flowers, or trade him. Now if we can get PK back and address the bullpen...

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 1, 2010 -> 09:57 PM) I don't know what it is about the bulls that always bring out the best in the magic. Every time I watch them play any other team they look very average. I remember listening to the game a while back where the Magic ripped the Bulls by 40 something. They just always whoop on the Bulls.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 1, 2010 -> 06:52 PM) Wasn't good. People out west knew all about Westbrook. He was overshadowed to an extent by Collison/Farmar/Afflalo (I think one of them wasn't actually on that team, but I might be wrong) but the guy was very very productive and incredibly explosive and showed that at UCLA. Westbrook was always the second best pure NBA prospect on that squad and he had tremendous work outs on top of it. I thought it was surprising he went 4th, but everyone knew he could jump out of a building and was an upper echelon defender in college. I'm with Gage on this one. I was a big fan of Westbrook and I'm pretty sure anyone who knew anything about college basketball knew of him and his abilities. I will agree that I didn't think he'd be this great of a pure point guard though.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 1, 2010 -> 05:11 PM) Is that the Player of the Month for the entire league, or the "Bulls Player of the Month"? I assume it is for the entire league, but that is a bit confusing. It's Bulls player of the month, not NBA player of the month. He should be winning this award regularly for the next decade.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 1, 2010 -> 11:12 AM) I have a simple beliefe when it comes to psychics and ghosts... I'll believe it when I see it. If I see a ghost, I'll believe. If I am told something by a psychic that isnt "vague" that comes true, i'll be willing to be open to the possibility that there are psychics. I've seen it, that's why I believe.

Absolutely.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 1, 2010 -> 01:38 AM) Fun stuff for sure. I've seen that Tex follows/likes the TDN Facebook page, but I have yet to see him throw his 10-gallon hat in the ring with a cocktail submission. My submissions all fall under the TDN user handle of "Sunny&Rummy" if you end up tuning in to score at home. I'm sure you haven't, but I figured I'd ask, have you ever tried any European rakija's? Basically a brandy made from (usually) plums or grapes. There's also the homemade moonshine versions.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Nov 30, 2010 -> 08:42 PM) I'm not watching, but from what everyones posting on twitter, the 1st St. Louis goal was on Boynton. Multiple goals were on Boynton. Probably the most hated person in Chicago right now.

I hate Duke and I still hope they beat Michigan State by 60.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Nov 30, 2010 -> 02:46 AM) a few months ago i mentioned that Rose and Westbrook have the same physical attributes and abilities, but yet westbrook is far more aggressive in terms of playing lock down defense, getting into the passing lane for the steal, being a great rebounder for his position, and when you actually watch the game, you will see westbrook is always hustling for the lose ball. Rose has the ability to do all those stuff, but he just doesn't do it often enough. That's why I mentioned Rose should learn from westbrook in this department, but most people on this board didn't seem to agree. Rose is a great player right now, but if he can use athleticism to get more rebounds, steals, get to the line more often, and play lock down defense, he will very soon be the best pg in the league. Derrick is having an unbelievable season so far, and being a bulls fan, i want to say he is playing better than westbrook right now, but objectively, i think the opposite is true, for two reasons. Rose has improved a lot of defense, but on some nights, he still look like his old self and doesn't seem to engage in that side of the ball. Westbrook is still better on that side of the ball. Also, Westbrook is scoring 23-24 points a night, despite playing along side the best scorer in the league, because he is efficient with his opportunities and get to the line more often and hits the free throws. Rose on the other hand is a volume scorer and shot taker, and when boozer comes back, his shot attempts will almost certainly reduce, and so will his PPG. both will average around 23-8 per game, but westbrook has the complete game besides scoring and passing. Westbrook is also the #2 guy on his team. That makes it a lot easier for him, where as Rose is THE guy in Chicago.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 30, 2010 -> 06:27 PM) I didn't say QB wasn't the most important position. Nothing like that. I said there was too much focus on it, at least focus for the wrong reasons. The Colts would be 6-10 every year without Peyton Manning. At the same time Brady misses an entire season and is replaced by a complete nobody (at the time, and to see what I'm getting at look at Cassel's 2009 where he was in a different system, not this year) and they still make the playoffs. Commentators and casual fans gush over the QB and give him credit almost exclusively for things he didn't do when the team wins as if he did everything and blame him for things that were someone else's fault when they lose. Example, last year a Vikings fan was talking s*** about how at first she was jealous that the Vikings missed out on Cutler and she was so glad they had Favre instead. I said, in so many words, that she was retarded. She rebutted with the # of interceptions Cutler had to that point in the year (it was like 20 something). I pointed out to her that she was really coming across like she had never watched football before because Favre was the all-time interceptions leader and once threw 28 in a season (with only 20 TDs, at least Cutler had 27 TDs last year). If the Vikings had gotten Cutler last year, with that offense, he'd have had 30+ TDs and nowhere near 26 interceptions, and they still would've gone deep into the playoffs. Plus their season wouldn't be effectively over right now since he'd only be 27 years old and not 78 or however old Grandpa (literally) Brett is. QBs aren't just interchangeable, we Bears fans all found that out last year the hard way. If we traded for Philip Rivers in the offseason he'd still be playing behind this garbage line, throwing to an average group of WRs, and he'd have growing pains learning Martz's offense. He wouldn't just instantly bring his San Diego stats over with him. There is no doubt in my mind that with all the same players and Rivers instead of Cutler, we'd be a better team overall. I don't buy the "average group of WR" and Mike Martz growing pains at all. Rivers is an elite quarterback who has impeccable decision making and has basically been league MVP without having Vincent Jackson, Malcolm Floyd, and Antonio Gates for extended periods of time. Hell, even Legadu Naannee and Patrick Crayton. Seriously, Seyi Ajirotutu was his #1 WR at one point this season.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 29, 2010 -> 08:19 PM) Do you get it butchered? Never. Do all the field dressing and processing ourselves. We don't shoot just to shoot.

Got a doe Friday afternoon. Great hunting trip. Always a good time.

Very simple, you can make them right in iTunes. http://gigaom.com/apple/free-custom-iphone...ng-only-itunes/ or http://www.tuneclone.com/how-to-make-free-...ith-itunes9.php

We've had this thread a time or 2 in the past, but always fun to see what people choose. In high school, I came up to bat and out to pitch to Rick Ross - "Hustlin".

I'm very anxious to see how the Bulls play when Boozer comes back. If he gels right in and is Carlos Boozer, the Bulls could be the best team in the East. Still, I'd love to find a shooting guard upgrade somehow.

That's just stupid. Gotta close out on the shooters. What is that, 4 straight 3's? Brown, Blake, Barnes, and Blake again? Of course it started on the no-call on Noah down low.

Honestly, even I never thought Rose would be this good. He's one of the envy's of the league right now. His combination of size, speed, strength, body control, finesse, touch, athleticism, and ball handling is unmatched. He's making the Lakers look absolutely silly.

Do the Bulls EVER come out and play to start the 2nd half. My God. And of course, the Lakers getting the benefit of just about every call.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 07:56 PM) My auto correct changed "I want her titties in my face" to "I want her tortillas in my face" - I would have been fine with either. That would depend...if her titties are like tortillas, I'd pass. In other news, I'm outta here. Going hunting in the UP until Monday. PUMPED.

FU MSU.
