Quite a close race.

The Tyrus Thomas love makes me sick. QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ May 23, 2008 -> 07:30 PM) Id like to keep Tyrus if possible, think he would be a good fit with Derrek Rose. But if there is any chance we can get Michael Redd than I am all for it. We can kind of be in the mold of the Hornets. Rose = Paul, Redd = Peja, Deng = West, and Tyrus = Chandler. We'd be a very, VERY poor mans version of the Hornets. Rose isn't going to be CP3 right away. Redd and Peja are a good comparison. Deng = West? Don't think so. West is a PF, though he shoots a bit from outside, and he averaged 20+ a game. NO doesn't have anyone like Deng, and the Bulls don't have anyone close to West. And Tyrus sucks.

or + = More so in real life, than in MLB mugshots.

I'm sure the Cubbie lover will be ecstatic with tonight's loss on Monday.

KRod deserves a bat to the kneecap.

Lets see some of that clutchness Joe.

WOW! Wise is the love-child of Richar and Willie Harris.

JD! 3-1, 1st and 3rd STILL with 1 out for Thome.

CQ draws the walk. 1st and 3rd, 1 out for JD.

We need some magic.

Not a great game for AJ.

QUOTE (Felix @ May 23, 2008 -> 09:05 PM) Take the bat off your shoulder OC That better?

We should have jumped all over Saunders in that 1st inning with 2 on, 0 out. That set the tone for then night.

But, he lost so much velocity. He isn't good without the 100mph heat. He's fat and he has a screw in his arm.

Draft Derrick Rose with the #1. Then pick Joey Dorsey or DJ White in the 2nd. Trade Hinrich, Gooden, Tyrus for Elton Brand and Brevin Knight then trade Gordon (S&T) and Hughes for Michael Redd. PG Rose/Knight SG Redd/Sefolosha SF Deng/Nocioni PF Brand/FA/2nd Round PF C Noah/Gray Highly unlikely? Maybe...maybe not. But Brand and Redd are definitely possibilities for the Bulls.

QUOTE (The Beast @ May 20, 2008 -> 11:15 PM) Bulls defy the odds, land the top spot From the Chicago Bulls website: I am kind of curious about this since I'm not a hard core diehard Bulls fan (though I consider myself a Bulls fan), what exactly does the team need? I see that they obviously need a coach and have a few free agents out there. According to ESPN's 2008 NBA Free Agent List, the Bulls free agents are as follows: Restricted: Luol Deng, Demetris Nichols, Ben Gordon Unrestricted: Shannon Brown, Chris Duhon Limited Salary Protection: JamesOn Curry Out of those, I see Gordon and Deng being the huge losses right there, so what would the Bulls need to replace them? Do they have any expiring contracts that are likely to be dealt? What was not apart of this year's team that needs to be addressed? Please discuss your thoughts, I don't follow the Bulls that closely and would like to know more about what they need, who they should draft and what could happen to their team pending the situation in Chicago. For all your Bulls needs, check here... http://www.talkbulls.com/forums/index.php?showforum=1 But to answer some of your questions, the obvious team needs are a true PG who will run the offense and get open shots for the rest of your players and a big man who can give you consistent scoring down low. The troubling thing is that with both of the those needs, the top 2 can't-miss prospects fill them. Gooden is an expiring contract that might be intriguing, especially in a speculated trade for Elton Brand. And as far as Gordon/Deng, they are restricted free agents, so the Bulls will receive every opportunity to match any offer they receive.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 20, 2008 -> 10:44 PM) 4. Seen Tyson Chandler lately? CP3 can do things like that for Tyrus Thomas. So can we draft CP3? Either way, that's probably the least valid reason for drafting Rose. Chandler is still terrible offensively and pretty much gets all of his points off alley-oops. Tyrus doesn't have the same work ethic or the same defensive abilities as Chandler.

QUOTE (The Beast @ May 20, 2008 -> 11:02 PM) but I didn't see a variant of a strike zone Thornton's 0-2 pitch to Dellucci which was called a ball but was given to Sabathia multiple times. The ump was terrible this evening. I think you're just trying to come up with any reason to bash Hawk and DJ. And I'm pretty sure Hawk was exaggerating a bit with the 30 inch plate comments.

Dotel came in in the bottom of the 7th with 2 outs. After falling behind 2-0, he complained that a laser was coming from the upper deck and bothering him. He came back with 3 fastballs to strike out the batter.

The Legend of the Carlos Quentin Bat-Flip grows... .400, 3 HR, 9 RBI, 6 BB in his 6 games in the 3-hole.

CQ! THOME! CONTRERAS! BULLPEN (ASSISTED BY CLUTCH LASER GUY!), AGAIN!!! 6 GAME WINNING STREAK! 2.5 GAMES UP ON CLEVELAND...YES!

THIS BALLGAME IS OVAH!

2 dead on the Hafner pop-out.

To the 9th....4-1 Sox!

Ouch. As thin as Alexei is, that could have had an exit wound.
