It's also crazy that Portugal won this tournament without winning a single group stage game.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 04:36 PM) Oops They had everything going for them early. Ronaldo got hurt early and they had numerous chances hit the post. Oh well. Good to see Ronaldo win an international trophy.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 12:23 AM) Believe I said that a page ago. Absolutely. And the cost will be high. I would love to get Kevin Love somehow. Here's to hoping Love becomes even more of a third wheel and gets undervalued enough to be traded for Wade.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 01:52 AM) I played it a little today because a bunch of people at work were playing it, but it's like....stupid easy. You just flick your finger towards the pokemon to capture it. I haven't played any of the Pokemon games in well over 10 years, but I seem to recall you having to have to "fight" it to weaken it, then you capture it. Where is the challenge other than driving around to places looking for ones to capture? It's more than just catching pokemon and I can tell you right now that catching the higher level'd ones are hard. I threw 10 Pokeballs at a Pidgeoto yesterday and caught it on my last try. Battling is kinda easy as well, you more or less just point at the pokemon you battle. It's still fun though, since you can just bring the app up when you're at a new location and see if there's anything interesting around.

Pokemon Go is amazing. I've had it for 2 days and I've already seen people parking their cars outside of a gym just to battle. It's pretty funny.

France is definitely winning this thing on Sunday.

Just the fact that Marco Estrada made it onto the team before Q should tell you a lot about how disrespected Quintana is.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 12:31 AM) Well done. I didn't even feel like the replay towards the end would 100% somehow cause things to end badly for the Sox like I might have at certain points of the season. Looking forward to catching a game over the weekend. I was nervous they were going to call him safe at first. That could have been a disaster.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 11:18 PM) We better sweep the damn Braves 6 over at the break is fine with me.

The fanbase seems so divided on these signings. You have the casuals loving the big name pickups and then the guys who are usually in the know hate everything the FO is doing. I honestly think these guys deserve a shot at making this work. I feel like this beats putting out a group that can win 25-30 games this year, which is what we would have been doing had we not signed Rondo or Wade. Sure this can blow up in our face on paper, but if it does, we don't neccesarily have full commitments to either Rondo or Wade in 2017. If it sucks, you start over. If it works, you're probably looking at a somewhat deep playoff run. I know for a fact that I'm pretty happy the Bulls FINALLY landed a big fish in free agency. The big fish might be 34 and decining, but he's one of the biggest names in the game. That's a little bit of progress.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) "keeps it up" has to be at least 1.5 full seasons. Especially after the whole Beckham thing.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 01:12 PM) FWIW, whoever said that when FA started we'd be looking at Lopez's deal a lot more positively, you were completely right and I apologize for doubting you. Hell Phil Jackson looks good for signing that deal last off-season.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 09:34 AM) Jack on Nets signing Jeremy Lin: Lin though has one of the better contracts handed out so far. Lin for $36 million is a bargain.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 05:44 PM) Portugal also had a really nice deep shot from one of their back line players....just barely missed to the left. Can't remember his name, Cedric maybe? Yeah their right back I think. Ronaldo actually passed the ball to him and he missed by about a foot.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 05:34 PM) Ronaldo, you might want to practice your foot-eye coordination with some additional drills after whiffing a couple of times there. Lucky to be alive. Sanches looks good. He has a cool hair style, at least. Pretty darned boring second half (defensive stalemate) after an interesting first 45 minutes. Sanches looks a lot like Chief Keef.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 04:47 PM) Atleast Poland has won a match within 90 minutes this tournament. Portugal hasn't won in 90 yet. Yeah they're probably undeserving of getting this far. But honestly, I think they played a better game than Poland. They had more chances after Poland decided they'd kind of sit back after the first 10-20 minutes. Ronaldo had 2-3 great chances and missed them all. Greece also actually won games back in 2004 lol

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 04:32 PM) Another game of pens for Poland. With how well they took their pens last game, I'd wager they'll win it. Looks like I forgot Portugal never lose on penalties.

Talk about bad luck...

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 10:57 AM) It's also pretty wrong. Russell is younger and has a higher ceiling. His defense alone makes him a more valuable player IMO. He just has to be a league average hitter to be a 4 win player.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) 2nd game in a row Poland is playing for penalty kicks They're gonna Greece their way into the finals.

Anderson finally drew a walk! That 1.1% BB%!

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 04:07 PM) A win today and a sweep in Houston would probably excite the fanbase with 80 games left. How about they do that, huh? Houston is red hot right now. I'm not expecting a series win.

Robertson had the knuckle curve working today.
