QUOTE (Felix @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 12:56 PM) Yes, how dare people attempt to defend someone that just gets constantly s*** on by the entire media for very little reason. Little reason? Have you seen the "team" he has put together?

got my Twins tix, let the booze flow

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 08:11 AM) I just wanted to point out Mark Buehrle was called up to the Sox 10 years ago today. There has been some rough patches over the years, but overall it's been great to witness: 143 wins 2 no-hitters, incl. a perfect game 3 division titles 1 World Series win incl. the Game 3 save Thanks for 10 years, #56. He didn't get a W in the WS

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 02:45 PM) Would you give up Viciedo+Morel+Hudson for Fielder if he agreed to an extension, but also meant saying goodbye to Paulie after 2010? I would probably say no deal, but we'd still have a strong lineup for next year Why would that mean no PK? I imagine he'll sign for 5-7 mill for 2-3 years which I'd do in a heartbeat. Then you can just rotate them at 1b and dump Kotsay's ass. I still don't think that package would be enough though, and at this point I'd keep Viciedo.

^ bulls***. All 3 of those jackasses knew all along where the hell they were going. They all wanted a play date with the "historic" Miami Heat. This is what happens when you're basically a 16 year old and are surrounded by your loser friends who just want to party with your money. One of the dumbest moves in the history of sports

Needs: 3pt shooters and Low Post Scoring I like it, still have money left. Melo 2011

woooo, there's your Alex non-all star-yet-one-of-the-best-OF-in-the-game-this-season Rios

hooray I was right and everyone here jumped off a cliff as usual. Strained

After watching Zumaya roll around in pain for 10 min a couple days ago, sounds like he just strained something. AS break couldn't be more perfect.

After seeing Zumaya blow his out, hopefully isn't that bad.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 07:53 PM) If the bulls miss out you try and trade for Melo. Not the worst case scenario but you have to make ti happen For what? Deng and Taj? Not a chance that works. You can't fall back on Melo, he's even more uncertain than LBJ/Wade/Bosh

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 07:28 PM) Bucher is scaring me with this. Is that even english? What does that even mean? How could Amare NOT going to Miami be bad for the Bulls?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 04:18 PM) That is ridiculous and it shouldn't even be close. I'll take Wade if we don't get Lebron, obviously, but people can't be serious. Yeah Wade would definitely be a nice consolation prize, but I'll take the best player in the game ENTERING his prime please, thanks.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) They didn't look overly happy in those pictures....I assume those are b4 the meeting... I assume, they said Gar or Thibbs were calling to get in and JR was pissed

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 02:45 PM) That was really a bulls*** move. Im on a work computer and lost a bunch of s***. Not really a funny joke. Always hover over links and never click a web-shortener one unless its from twitter.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 11:25 AM) At the end of the day, it is going to be hard for any team to turn down the extra 30 or so mill that they could get by getting a full max deal from there existing team. Bosh is the one guy that will probably for sure go, because TOronto will do a S&T. Amare/Johnson aren't worth the money if they are getting full maxes, imo. So the Bulls are going to have to hope LBJ is ok not getting full max because of the plethora in endorsement money he could get. Their current team can do one extra year, is that the extra 30 mil? I don't understand why thats an issue unless these guys think they will be out of the league in 4-5 years, just sign another deal when the current one ends.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 11:58 PM) But if Bosh comes as a sign and trade, and LeBron just as a FA, than Bosh will be more highly paid. Toronto doesn't want Deng, so there would be no sign and trade with them if we get Bosh

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 12:13 PM) If you give up Noah in a Carmelo deal, the big problem I see is that you're still a middle-seed in the conference at best until you can find someone else to help you out. You've got 2 very good frontline players but you're weak at 3 positions, and since your 2 frontline players are or will be max deals and will probably be even more painful under the next CBA, the ability to fill any other hole depends on you either getting really lucky in the late first/2nd round (i.e. Rondo-style) or having another team help you out (Gasol-style). I think Rose + LBJ + Carmello would make up for any low post missed from Noah.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 11:15 AM) The Raps want Gibson and Noah if they're doing a sign and trade with the Bulls, and obviously the Bulls don't want to give up the latter. But Miami's willing to do Chalmers + Beasley, and that probably beats say Gibson + something else unless they want Deng which is doubtful while they still have Hedo. Can Miami still use the MLE if they signed the big 3, and they'd be able to offer the veteran's minimum also I presume. They also drafted 4 guys in the 2nd round that they'll use off the bench next season. Hedo wants out, Deng could be the perfect FU to Turkeyglue and buy him out.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 05:38 PM) If you think that way about Sale, then he's no different than another Aaron Poreda. And Poreda got us Peavy

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) It's not as if private jets don't exist and Wade couldn't travel from Chicago to Miami in 2 hours. Do athletes get speed of light jets these days?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 10:51 AM) Sure it does, but it's harder to play catch-up. There's only so many tickets you can sell down the stretch; even if they're stellar at sales from here on out, you can't make up for the games you've already played. As of right now, we're over 3000 tickets/game fewer than last year's pace and nearly 6000 tickets/game behind the 2008 pace. And 12,000 tickets/game behind the 2006 pace. That's 1/3 lower ticket sales than 2006, when we first hit the approximate salary level we're currently at. Whats the difference in ticket prices then vs now?

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:57 AM) Who wants to start a legacy with the Miami Heat? Seriously, the Miami Heat? That is going to be LeBron's Legacy? The same team that retired Michael Jordan's jersey number before any player of their own? If he goes there with Bosh and Wade it will be ridiculously lame. That isn't coming from a scorned Bulls fan, its coming from someone who wouldn't want to watch the NBA become a bigger circus than it already is. Hopefully the chance to put Chicago up with the Celtics and Lakers in NBA history is more appealing to him.
