This is the best the Bulls have looked all year.

No punts, no kickoffs, no problem
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 15, 2013 -> 02:12 PM) Well this is a college team, not HS, but yes, I had thought about that too. However, a punt can always result in a touchdown for the receiving team, so it's not just field position. Pretty sure this is a high school team...

Jaso an offseason target
QUOTE (scs787 @ Nov 15, 2013 -> 07:35 PM) FWIW, and I really don't know how to analyze this ...The last trade Jaso was in... A's Got- Jaso(M's) M's Got- Mike Morse(Wash) Was Got- AJ Cole(A's, #57 prospect overall) and 2 lower level minor leaguers from the A's. So there were some good players going around in that trade. That's what I'm saying...the A's aren't going to give up Jaso for nothing. The A's traded the #57 prospect for Jaso and he performed fairly well for them last year. Why would Oakland trade him for a low level pitching prospect? Billy Beane's not an idiot.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 15, 2013 -> 06:42 PM) You guys need more Twolves! Yeah, they would have been a good pick too. Honestly, I haven't used LP that much. Maybe 4-5 times since I've gotten it. The Bulls are on national TV a lot.

Jaso an offseason target
QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Nov 15, 2013 -> 06:11 PM) Hell no. If they can get Jaso for some lower level pitching prospects, it would be a great pickup. But to trade someone like Santiago for him would be crazy. I think some of you might be overvaluing Santiago. I'm still not sure he can end up as a consistent starting pitcher.

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 15, 2013 -> 06:29 PM) I bought NBA LP today. Went with Chicago, Indy, Miami, Golden State, Clippers. I get the Grizzlies locally. I think Houston would have been my next team, followed by OKC Houston's definitely a fun team to watch. I picked Chicago, Golden State, LAC, OKC, and the Rockets.

HTC One Google Play Edition will get Android 4.4 in a matter of days. It's a good thing that Android is no longer as fragmented as it was before. Google now has a tighter grasp on updates with Google Play Edition phones and the Moto X/G line.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 15, 2013 -> 10:22 AM) Yeah, I get it. Precaution. I don't know. I think I been watchin' too much Warriors and Clippers. Not lookin' forward to the Roseless Bulls and Raptors (barf). Rose has been costing the Bulls up till the game against the Cavs. You're not going to miss out on much at this point.

MVP Awards
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 15, 2013 -> 05:41 AM) Not gonna rehash the Miggy vs Trout debate, but one asshole voted Trout 7th and two people voted Goldschmidt 6th. Those people should lose voting privileges. I'm just glad nobody on the Cardinals won. McCutchen was clearly better than the rest of the field. The fact that some Cardinals fans thought Molina or Carpenter should have won is funny.

Jaso an offseason target
QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 14, 2013 -> 11:55 PM) We cannot even entertain Jaso-Santiago. I think something like Flowers, Carlos Sanchez and a low level arm would work. Oakland has no real reason to trade Jaso (he's in a good platoon with Norris) unless they think Vogt is a respectable replacement. I don't think they're going to take our garbage and give us back a guy who can get on base at a .370 clip.

Jaso an offseason target
QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 14, 2013 -> 10:53 PM) No way Jaso's very much a one dimensional player, but he's the kind of one dimensional player this team needs and he plays a position that we lack. Maybe Hector for Jaso straight up is overpaying, but I think a deal around Hector for Jaso + other parts would work.

Jaso an offseason target
QUOTE (scs787 @ Nov 14, 2013 -> 10:49 PM) I been harping about trying to get Jaso all offseason. Oakland fans said they'd trade him for organizational pitching depth...Fans obviously aren't the ones making the deals but I think they might be able to get it done for something like Snodgress/Jaye and maybe a lower level guy or 2. Would you trade somebody like Hector for Jaso?

Jaso an offseason target
QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 14, 2013 -> 09:33 PM) FYI, if you're concerned about the catching situation so is Rick. Was told Jaso is high on the wish list due to his high OBP contact bat from the left side. Had good talks recently with Beane but not sure it can move past prelim talks as his medicals are TBD due to concussion. Woo!

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Nov 14, 2013 -> 03:23 PM) Lovin' my Nexus 5. Soo smooth and nice and clear. Got a battery pack charger for heavy use days. Also have a Nokia wireless charger that I use for both the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 Should I be a google fanboy and get a chromecast too? I think it's still $30 for those that signed up for the Best Buy student program. Worth it? I dunno, though. I know it won't be as good as my Roku... I also have the same wireless charger, works flawlessly with those two Nexus devices. It never worked for me for my Nexus 4 though. Chromecast is awesome cause it's so cheap. Support is coming for a lot of apps, so in about 6 months, I'd predict that it'd be just as good as Roku when it comes to essential services. Plus, the ability to stream from Chrome on my desktop or laptop means I can stream any local movie over it as well (Chrome plays local videos).

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 14, 2013 -> 04:28 PM) I'm still upset about the lack up chromecast updates. Right now it's basically a google centered device with Netflix and Hulu. Where's my HBOGo? Where's my chrome browser casting ability for phones/tablets? HBO Go will be supported real soon. Like maybe this week. It showed up as supported on the Chromecast page yesterday.

2013 Video Game Thread
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 13, 2013 -> 11:17 PM) It would make sense for them to have some sort of system, like maybe you mail them the game in a pre-paid envelope and you get the code 2 days later or something. I haven't looked in to it since I'm not in the market for a PS4 yet. No need to mail in, you need to have the game in the PS4 to redeem the digital version (that's how Sony does it). There is a code inside the PS3 version for redeeming the digital version.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 13, 2013 -> 11:08 PM) And you can just trade in your hard copy of that game for probably $30-40, so the $22 digital purchase will be gravy. You may actually need the hard copy to redeem the digital version of the game if you do the $22 upgrade. But afterwards, I think you can sell it.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 13, 2013 -> 02:41 PM) I wonder how long that deal's good for. I'm truly contemplating a PS4. It's good until March 31st 2014.

Matt Wieters
Wieters is a good player, but based on the hype behind him when he came up, he's been quite a disappointment. He's only had two above average offensive seasons. He might be a great defensive catcher, but he's quite mediocre with the bat.

Technology catch-all thread
QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 13, 2013 -> 11:34 AM) My dad has has gone from iPhone 3G -> iPhone 4 -> iPhone 5, but is really interested in switching to Android. He isn't necessarily going to do it right away, but I tell him about my phone and the phones I've looked at and he's intrigued. His best friend from far away came to visit and had a Galaxy Note 2 and he's been envious ever since. I wonder what the best phone for him would be? Maybe it's the Note - he can see pretty well, but it wouldn't hurt. I think he'd have to have an earpiece or else he would be embarrassed by the size up against his face, lol The Note does a bunch of cool stuff that other phones don't offer (multi-window, S Pen features, etc.), but Samsung's software really sucks compared to stock Android or even HTC Sense.
