Gonna be real sad if they trade Wiggins for Love. If Minny believes the Wiggins hype there's nothing the Bulls can do to make them a better offer.

A bit off topic here...Any idea what DMD/Bairstow will make?

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 10:34 PM) I can't believe this still isn't over. So...After 2 days of no power/no cell phone...I've missed basically nothing??? Someone catch me up with something to read in the mornin!

You guys stop the Kevin Love going anywhere other than Chicago rumors right now! I need some Love and I want it now!

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 09:52 AM) I guess the dude over at RealGM who broke the Jason Kidd story has "reported" that Melo dropped the Bulls, Mavs and Rockets. He's also waiting to make a decision until Lebron decides. Sun-Times apparently says the report is not true: Basically that was taken by a dude on a message board right? What's the deal with Real GM anyway?? It looks like a message board to me....is it run by people with sources??

Only way I'm talkin Jose Quintana is if Joc Pederson and Corey Seager or something like that are coming back.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 10:13 PM) They'll fall back again. 74-88. I think we're seeing a little clarity in the pen, and if Jones comes back and is effective that will help a lot as well.....80-82

Dunns OPS vs RHP is up to .850 which is 35th highest in the league.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 10:04 PM) Don't do it flavum (should be 8-2 and sniffing .500). You'll jinx them as soon as you get a little optimistic again, haha. Especially with how flat the Red Sox looked and Sale/Quintana/Danks going. Anything other than 3/4 would feel pretty disappointing now. And Cle just got beaten by a Yankees' rookie, only one game behind the Indians now. Sox will be in 3rd place at the All Star break...Book it.

Avisail coming back and producing might even help sell potential FAs that the Sox are real close to competing....Which I really think they are.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 09:59 PM) How in the world are Carroll and Hector capable of this? These type of games, and Viciedo's performance on this road trip are times you think the Sox actually have a good managerial and coaching staff. WTF is with this team? Is it a good team or horses***? It never can completely make up its mind. You remember the pathetic sweep at Minnie, pathetic sweep at home against KC and performance vs. the Angels. Really think they're right in between.... an average .500 ball club.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 09:56 PM) 7-3 the last 10...who are these guys? I got a feeling they go 5-1 to make it back up to .500 at the All Star break.

Starting pitching has been absolutely brilliant this go around in the rotation. Last 5 starts they have given up 3 runs total. EDIT...Me taking forever to look at the stats makes this post look a bit redundant to what others have said.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 08:39 PM) Boy it sure is nice to see a young hitter actually perform in the minors. I'm ready to see him get called up a level.....Though at just 19 I can see him sticking there for a bit.

Im a bit behind...Just wanted to say that Usos/Wyatts feud has been the best tag team feud I've seen in quite some time in terms of quality of matches.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 08:16 PM) Sierra is like Jose's cabana boy always fanning him and wiping him down after a HR. But Sierra really seems like an energy guy in the dugout keeping it loose. Ya, I'm all aboard the Sierra 4th OFer train for now and into the future just based on what he seemingly brings to the clubhouse.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 08:10 PM) The just showed Garcia taking some flyballs before the game. Of course he dropped it. He looked good physically though... I had thought he was looking a bit chunkier than usual when they show him in the dugout. Man I love seeing the guys have fun in the clubhouse.....Something I really thought that was something they lacked last year.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 08:08 PM) DH a bit when Dunn is gone? I'd say both OF and DH. He looked good physically in that little clip they just showed.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 07:33 PM) So Conor plays against LHP but sits verse Buckholz? I swear to god Robin Ventura is either brain dead or his entire '14 managing year is one big epic troll job. Also love that bottom 3, might as well just give them 3 automatic outs in a row like when you don't have enough guys in softball. edit: nm I see Conor is injured. sweet. Anddd De Aza just finished up a .365/.423/.540/.963 June so he's not exactly an auto out anymore. Plus Clay is a RHP and De Aza is hitting about .265 against RHP. He's just been absolutely dreadful against LHP. 2 for 48...Yikes.

Atta boy ADA....Was starting to think ADA and Tank simply could not be hot at the same time.

Fantastic AB by Tank right there.

Adam Dunn is a power hitter who does not hit HRs!

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 06:42 PM) Nobody wants the status quo but Parsons isn't the answer either. Get creative and figure something else out, we're always settling for 2nd tier players and f*** that noise, lets not do that this time around. And agreed about Jo, so lets not waste another year being stuck in NBA hell. And who do you suggest getting creative for who is better than Chandler Parsons? They really could use a SG/SF.... Using the Value Added stat, that sounds fancy, Parsons ranked 15th between those 2 positions. Players ahead of him are... Lebron Durant Melo George Gay Leonard Evans Batum Harden Dragic DeRozan Wade Ellis Hayword

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 06:31 PM) Oh I agree. But we're probably not getting Kevin Love (trade or free agency) and honestly, we're not a legit title contender with Melo if Rose isn't good Derrick Rose. Still think there's a chance at Love but ya, I agree with this statement....Any kind of title contention lives and dies with Rose's health. If Rose stays healthy and is a legit #1 option, with this D adding Parsons to go along with Butler/DMD/Niko/Taj/Noah I don't see any reason why that team can't contend for a title.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 06:08 PM) That would suck. It'd be like overpaying Luol Deng all over again. Except Parsons is a MUCH better shooter. True shooting % 2014- Parsons .565 - Deng .517 (Melo .561) 2013- Parsons .585 - Deng .508 (Melo .560) Just throwin Melo out there for funsies.
