QUOTE (Reddy @ May 1, 2010 -> 12:57 PM) holy christ. can we just clone andruw and paulie? thanks. I love how they were supposed to be the two biggest question marks going into the season.

Sorry Jermaine, but Andruw can play defense and is playing for peanuts.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 1, 2010 -> 12:46 PM) Tyrus Thomas says hi. So do Noah & Gibson. And they could have taken Beasley. QUOTE (knightni @ May 1, 2010 -> 12:47 PM) They're bad at trading. The drafted Aldridge and traded him for Thomas and Sefolosha. Nope, just Thomas, or else it would be a better trade since we got Gibson for Thabo. Thabo was traded for Rodney Carney.

QUOTE (Real @ May 1, 2010 -> 12:48 PM) Danks looks pretty bad so far. 18 strikes, 18 balls. Yet at the same time, he's battled.

Pierre, you suck.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2010 -> 12:14 PM) I had zero expectations for the guy. I remember being mad about not taking someone like Wayne Ellington for 3pt scoring. I'm glad Taj proved us all wrong. If only JJ can figure it out. Also, the Bulls are really good/lucky at drafting.

At least Vizquel can still play defense.

I have never seen OBP be a stat put up on TV with .avg/rbi/hr Andruw is cool.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 1, 2010 -> 11:12 AM) I'm sorry....but at what point is Donny Lucy hitting well enough to DH him or AJ and we can have both of them in the order on days like this? It would save us from having to have Kotsay and Vizquel in the same order...Lucy, as far as I can tell, is hitting the ball as well as anyone... And of course, he will probably be sent down to Charlotte's bench once Castro gets back.

Paulie for MVP and Santos for ROY while we're at it. Lets wait till the All-Star break.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 1, 2010 -> 10:37 AM) Vizquel ss Beckham 2b Jones cf Konerko 1b Teahen 3b Quentin dh Pierzynski c Kotsay rf Pierre lf Danks p I understand Vizquel a little bit...not Pierre or Kotsay.

Thank god Javy sucks in New York.

In case no one said it, Gibson made the All-Rookie First Team.

Isn't he a lefty? Because that sucks, because we could really use more lefty's right now, even though he crapped out this year.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 12:25 AM) Kenny: "One thing I wish I couldve gotten more is OBP." Very interesting. Grragraragglble. That fictional word sums up my feelings about that. Favorite Line: "You got something you wanna say to your teammates? Say it to their ****ing face". I enjoy the Santos clip.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 12:56 AM) Bringing that number down! Down 8% since this thread started. Ozzie Ball is working!

Everyone mentioned Buehrle has to remember his contract goes to $19M if traded, so it's not gonna happen.

QUOTE (scotty22hotty @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 12:12 AM) lmao I love how some of the mods and even the admins are always butthurt over pods success Instead we have Pierre who is arguably our worst hitter (and player w/ -0.6 WAR) for around 9M/2 The Sox could have had Pods for 2M-3M instead of acquiring a player that no one in the league wanted early in the winter... If only he waited. That would be AJ.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 27, 2010 -> 02:45 PM) Phegley diagnosed with I-T-P syndrome Says he will miss another month. Terrible situation for him. Holy...hopefully he gets better soon. This is really a crappy situation for him.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 27, 2010 -> 02:31 PM) He just needs to repeat the article from Playboy magazine and he'll be fine. Now, who will get this reference? You beat me to referencing Rube. Dang it. But maybe thats what AJ can do to hit.

Man, I can't stand the superstar treatment. LeBron could trip with no one in a 10 ft radius, and they'd get a foul called. Only if Derrick and Noah strongly lobby for Vinny's stay do I see them keeping him. And even then its a 1% chance of happening. Now, go sign Bosh.

Joe Jackson or Ed Walsh.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Apr 26, 2010 -> 07:37 PM) They did. D'Antoni's first choice was Chicago. JR didn't want him. Doug Collins wanted to come along, JR didn't want to have to fire him again. Everyone else out there were okay options, but none really stood out. As far as VDN alienating players, I'd say the author is wrong. This team played hard for VDN, even when it was known he was a lameduck coach. When management quit on him, his players still kept playing. Derrick and Joakim seem to like him a lot. The only player VDN had problems with is Tyrus. You may be able to add Jannero in there, but he sucks and was mad about PT when he deserves none. Right now, the only player with a bone to pick is Acie Law. If the Bulls did have Ben Gordon this year, I have no doubt they would've been nothing lower than a 5th seed. They missed his dynamic and consistent scoring. Bulls basically win when Deng and Hinrich are hitting shots. If not, they are toast and they still give up a lot of points because the defense doesn't have to work hard, nor do they have to respect them. Management is who set VDN up to fail, and I'd say he's still done a damn good job considering he made the playoffs both years. I agree with this. Only Tyrus reallly had issues with him, though Gordon got mad at him, they made up. And if Rose had anyone who could score alongside Rose, they'd probably be 'upsetting' the Celtics. I wish that Vinny were kept, but he won't and we'll end up with another inexperienced coach who goes through growing pains.

We have plenty of HR and if Pierre hits like he almost always has in his career, we'll have tons of SB. This lineup isn't that bad once Alexei gets warm weather, and if Quentin & Gordon hit like they were expected to. The big questions of Konerko, Rios, Jones, and Teahen have all been producing...the issue is that Pierre hasn't been close to his .300 average, Gordon isn't progressing as assumed, Quentin is trying to hard, and AJ just seems lost. Plus, Ozzie Ball only worked because that 05 lineup still had power, yet that always seems to get overlooked.

This is stupid.
