Hero worshipers. All of you.

Seven homers and we're likely to lose.

So many solo shots.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 04:05 PM) I just read that Texas and California want to follow Britain and have a Texit from the U.S. These states don't know what they are doing. Once they secede they are going to lose about 1/2 the population just by people who don't want to renounce their US citizenship. They they are going to be left with a state full of crazies who are their own country. They will need their own armies and nuclear weapons. Talk about morale killers. All these states want to secede now to follow Britain's lead. We do have a lot of problems as a nation at this time, though. They are thinking their economies will be better if they split from the USA. There will be all sorts of problems, however. I can't imagine the hordes of people who have moved to Dallas and Houston mainly for work would stay there if Texas secedes. Those are just crazy people Greg, don't worry.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 02:56 PM) He has a long way to go to make himself into a .300 OBP player. Definitely not a leadoff hitter Eh, he had a long way to get to being OK in the field. He's 23, we can give him time.

Keep it going!?

Lawrie!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 12:29 AM) So he went from AZL to high-A just like that? Is he going to AA soon? Fulmer did the same. Basically like "eh, you signed so here pitch an inning while you're in Arizona."

MELKY!

Wow. Rodon coming in at 99

Oh boy.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 04:48 PM) He isnt even capable. He has no charisma or social skills that would make him effective in recruiting anyone. Yup.

K.C. Johnson ✔ @KCJHoop Rose in New York: "Chicago is more than just like a home. It grew me into the man I am today."

Derrick saying he picked #25 for Chicago (honoring his Simeon roots and Benji Wilson)

Derrick sounds depressed in the introduction presser.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) Wizards are prepared to give Noah a max deal of 4 years/120 million. Wow, that is gross. Makes the Robin Lopez deal look like a complete steal if Noah gets this. wat

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 02:05 PM) Wasn't that the year they never really clicked because it was lockout shortened and then Rose missed like 1/3 of the games with various injuries? I don't think clicking is how I'd have described it, it seemed more like waiting around for them to have a chance to play together. Yup that year. Rip missed time. But at the very end of the season I remember everyone started gelling. Rose could still take over, but didn't need to like the year prior. Defense was still stellar. Then ACL and heartbreak.

I also find it funny that the only people without a congressional voice are from highly populated areas, DC and Puerto Rico.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 01:28 PM) Look...I'm sorry if people weren't okay with getting Boozer and being that close to a trip to the NBA finals (losing to the Heat in the conference finals while Rose had a bum ankle) and than of course missing out the following year when Rose tore his ACL in the playoffs, but you know what, I was okay with it. f***...some of you all want to be miserable forever and just watch lots of losing basketball. Sure, they could have landed better guys or Rose couldn't have gotten hurt, but the reality is that impacts things. This team had quite a few chances. Just a year ago, we were the right call from probably beating Cleveland and presumably going to the finals (to get crushed by Golden State). I.e., Blatt getting T'd up. Now what happened since than was awful, i.e., dumping Thibs was a disaster move, but lets not act like the Bulls were some horrific franchise who had no shot. Than again, I'm sure a lot of people here would have traded Klay for Love and well, Golden State would never have won 1 title and they certainly wouldn't have the best regular season record in NBA history. And remember, Asik went down in the ECF. I still believe if Rose hadn't torn his ACL, they win in 2012. They were clicking at the end of the season so well.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) This goes to the point of the representation. It's not that IL votes that way it's the city of Chicago and the surrounding area. If you look at the state as a whole the larger geographic area doesn't vote that way. But then if you look at how many people vote that way in the state, more people vote democrat.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 11:10 AM) Very encouraging from Curbelo. It's not every day that an 18 year-old SS homers in his 2nd professional game. If Curbelo sticks at SS, he'll be a huge get in the 6th round.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 12:27 PM) It's not really a full rebuild but they are still going to be pretty bad. I'd rather be really bad than pick 13th next year though. I know it's not. It needs to be though.

For a full rebuild, needed to ship Jimmy and Taj. I don't blame them for not shipping Jimmy as the deals for him weren't up to snuff.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 11:23 AM) Yeah, and again, if this is such a destabilizing move, why couldn't we assume that the UK will remain the financial sector and european trade powerhouse via a new system? Why is it a forgone conclusion that new trade agreements and foreign worker/visitor agreements will be significantly altered? If it's going to severely hurt the UK, the UK isn't going to do it. But they just did
