Jabari and Lavine playing D. Bring back Paul Westhead.

I agree /

From what I read on line, it appears to be a set up for a Melo/Felicio swap. It needs the Nwaba QO rescinded to work.

Vinnie Goodwill, who was all over the Lavine offer sheet, tweeted it makes you wonder if the Bulls are creatin room to absorb something. Seems it’s eithe Melo or Jabari or Hood. Although KC said he didn’t think the Bulls were interested in Hood.

That’s a good call on his part, but the reality is he is a kid who was out bonused by about 25 guys in his class and never played a game for the White Sox organization. To think he would be where he is at this point is either HOF scouting ability or some good luck, or just someone who at that point just preferred any prospect to James Shields. I have ripped RH and Kw a lot, but if they really had any inkling of what they had, I give them enough credit to be able to say they never would have made that trade even if Shield was going to be a lot better than he turned out to be.

DOJ appears AT&T Time Warner merger ruling. Probably kills the deal. Judge told them not to, probably just Trump showing CNN who is the boss.

Great tweet: People get mad about the Warriors building a super team but the Coyotes have now been able to land Chris Pronger, Pavel Datsyuk and Marian Hossa

CapFriendly says they will increase their cap space $4,650,000. I don't know how much they got for the LTIR>

OFFICIAL: The #Blackhawks have acquired Marcus Kruger, MacKenzie Entwistle, Jordan Maletta, Andrew Campbell and a 2019 fifth-round draft pick from Arizona in exchange for Marian Hossa, Vinnie Hinostroza, Jordan Oesterle and a 2019 third-round pick.

That was actually a nice game to watch for a change. Until the end, very fast, and a White Sox victory. Charlie Tillson looks like he's playing polo when he isn't hitting grounders.

Also, who would have know, but Ivanka's clothes aren't getting hit with tariffs. As of early 2017, all of her line made outside of USA.

North Korea is a no show at the meeting to discuss returning American remains. Looks like KJU isn't too high on a Trump hotel at his beach.

I don't see where a team is going to help the Bulls out and take Felicio of their hands unless they give up some really nice picks. BTW, there is a big problem trading for Melo if you want a first round pick from OKC. They traded their 2020 pick earlier, so they can't trade 2019 or 2021. The soonest you could get it would be 2022.

Eventually it will be millions.

In KC Johnson's mailbag today, he claims the Bulls will have room for 1 max guy next offseason. It’s a broad projection since you can’t predict where the Bulls will be drafting and the value of that rookie deal. But general projections for 2019 free agency have the Bulls around $35 million of cap space. That’s room for one maximum free agent, not two.

I think it just shows how meatball fans will go. There are White Sox fans that actually believe Robin Ventura has zero idea about baseball.

A lot. Everyone has known there were issues with it. What has he or the republicans done to improve it? They have only made it worse so everyone will hate it, and public opinion will be it has to go, and he will be able to say, see what did I tell you? He sabotaged it instead of working to improve it, and the result will mean millions of unnecessary deaths because we cannot afford it. We can afford to give rich people even more money they will never spend. And supposedly there will be something in the till for his claim of cheaper, better insurance for everyone, probably after the funding for his wall Mexico was paying for, believe me, goes through.

This is just an admission he is controlled by Putin. Just check it out. When he accuses people of things, he's usually guilty of the same. When he screams fake news? He starts telling lies, and a week or so later, the "fake news" turns out to be true.

He won’t be there. They aren’t going to risk it.

In his last 9 games Palka has struck out at least twice 8 times, and struck out at least 3 times in 5 games.

Trump has totally sabotaged Obamacare. Instead of fixing it, he just made it worse so everyone would hate it and he could say I told you so. So thank the republicans for fucking with you. But Trump promised better, cheaper care for everyone. Funny how he seems to have forgotten about that.

Kyrie wants to go to NY. Jimmy’s departure here wasn’t exactly smooth, although probably nothing a max contract can’t heal. But I see Jimmy playing the DWade role and play the Bulls then signing elsewhere.

How long does Santiago have. His versatility probably buys him time, but he is meat out there now

Speaking of flashes in the pan, Anthony Swardzak made $14 million out of not being Anthony Swardzak last season. He is now back to being his old self. You never know what you might catch with these guys. Usually nothing, but if you have roster spots and aren't contending, it's well worth the roll of the dice. You never know. Rondon looked pretty good for a while, then it all fell apart. I wonder if he is injured.

At least yesterday it was a game for a while. Back when the Sox first got Shields, when it's 8-0 in the second inning you can think of about a trillion better ways to spend your money than buying a White Sox ticket.
