QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 11:32 PM) So..., If Cleveland wins a championship (check), Cubs win the World Series, and Donald Trump wins the presidency, what will be the fourth horseman of the apocalypse? Collapse of the European Union

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 12:00 AM) NBA is just terrible now. This series sucked and the final 8 minutes of this game it was a bunch of 1 on 1 over and over again. Most of those shots were horrible No empirical evidence supports this claim. The NBA is bigger than it has ever been and the talent level is unreal

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 17, 2016 -> 06:54 PM) If you're depressed with the Chicago Blackhawks franchise....find a new hobby. K thx bye Cap didn't make the Blackhawks sign Seabrook to that horrible contract. I'm done going back and forth with your excuses.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 10:35 PM) Yup. Only MJ and Kareem can claim spots higher than LeBron. I wouldn't even include Kareem. I still won't take LeBron over MJ, but he's better than anyone else.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 09:27 PM) This baseball season sucks. Theo and Maddon against Hahn and Ventura is the mismatch of the century. Get used to it.

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Jun 17, 2016 -> 09:15 PM) The Cubs success makes the White Sox completely irrelevant in this city. The White Sox look like a complete joke compared to them. I never, ever thought I would be able to say something like that, but the state of this organization is a complete joke compared to theirs at this time. And the future looks very bleak for us as well. It took a while, but we saw it coming. The White Sox have been a joke since 2007, with 2008 as the one exception. My concern is with the Sox ineptitude. I'm happy for my Cubs fan friends. QUOTE (beautox @ Jun 17, 2016 -> 10:41 PM) If Almora reaches his ceiling the cubs could be looking at a right handed Mark Kotsay in center field. Willson Contreras could be something very special as well if he puts it all together. The Cubs plethora of young talent is something out of this world, by this time next year they could conceivably[rightfully] be sporting an all-star team across the diamond. I think they re-sign Fowler and move Schwarber/Soler/Vogelbach as they still have McKinney and Happ among many others. It's really special. They look to be boiling over with talent, and that's with Baez coming off the bench.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 17, 2016 -> 05:16 PM) Would you trade for Calderon and a 2018 first rounder? Where do I sign?

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jun 17, 2016 -> 05:01 PM) Butler is the only thing watchable on this team. If they move Butler I'm out. That's fine. You're not alone. You'll be back. I'm not saying we move Butler either, but if the Bulls get the right offer, no one is untouchable.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 17, 2016 -> 04:16 PM) This is what I'd do if possible: Once Gasol opts out, they have $26 million in space. Ideally, the Rose thing is true. Rose and Snell to Knicks for Calderon, Afflalo, and 2 2nd rounders. That clears $15 million more. Trade Taj Gibson without taking any money in return. Bulls would have $50 million in cap space. I would not trade Butler for that Wolves package without Wiggins but I'd probably do it to the Celtics for Bradley, Crowder, and #3. Could be an interesting offseason. It's going to suck when they sign Harrison Barnes to a max deal and do nothing else though haha I don't think the Bulls move Butler (although I wouldn't mind if they did) Seriously, at least we'd get a new narrative out of this offseason if the rest of this happened. Can you be GM?

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 17, 2016 -> 04:03 PM) I am really, really not excited about Bulls positioning themselves to be players for free agency. We have been down that road too many times and found out what that leads to. They need to rebuild however they can with acquiring high draft picks. They are not built to contend in the next few years so why fight to be middle of the road without making any progress on building for the future? Agreed. That's why I want GarPax fired more than anything. I want a new story and a new philosophy. This strategy of going for it and failing in free agency is horrible.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 11:46 AM) Cubs are calling up top C prospect Willson Contreras. Just never ends for them. That lineup with Ross just looks so stupid. Make him a coach or something.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 17, 2016 -> 10:36 AM) NL success does not always translate to AL success. Agreed. There is such thing as a "bad fit"

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 17, 2016 -> 12:06 AM) Did you really edit his quoted posted, just to make your point about Johns for the 89th time? Give it a rest. No. The whole thing is depressing.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 17, 2016 -> 12:08 PM) #Championship God. Beat me to it. Where can I get his jersey?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 11:14 PM) Is Kerr really saying all this? Blaming everything on injuries and suspensions. Totally not acting like a head coach. Whiny b****. It's a Phil-type move. Kerr was very specific about what he didn't like. He'll get fined, but I bet Curry doesn't have another game of ticky tack fouls.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 10:40 PM) No matter who wins game 7 LeBron has to be the MVP of this series. Yes. 100%. There's nothing anyone on GSW can do to take it from LBJ. QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 10:40 PM) He couldn't stay in front of anyone all night and was reaching constantly. Guess what, you are going to get called for fouls. Excuses. LeBron has destroyed the Cavs. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 10:40 PM) LeBron so good. Curry should be suspended. Yes, and he should probably be fined. Suspended? They wouldn't dare.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 10:37 PM) Lol. Curry's fouls tonight that actually impacted the game were legitimate. The Cavs were the better team the entire game tonight and it wasn't close. Agreed. If you lose by double digits, don't whine about officials.

I hate how dumb the Warriors are. Seriously. All of them. I love Kerr but I hate everything else about them. Such Children. I don't even like LeBron, but I'm awed by how crazy he has been the last two finals.

Well, at least the Warriors fans have Patriots football and Yankees baseball to look forward to.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) Saad - Ladd - Sharp Teuvo - Frolik - Brouwer Bolland Byfuglien - Leddy Johns - Campbell Oduya That's the start of a playoff team right there, thanks salary cap! That's depressing.

Absolutely not on Reyes. He might make the team marginally better, but the organization doesn't need to look worse at the moment.

Thankfully, Bowman has blessed us with the Seabrook deal, which turns into the next "Bickell contract" in couple of seasons.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) Mark Lazerus ‏@MarkLazerus 22m22 minutes ago Source says #Blackhawks fully expect to re-sign Andrew Shaw with Bickell's contract off the books. Still waiting on cap number, though. Hopefully this doesn't cause problems with Panarin in the future.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 01:39 PM) The money they saved should go towards Panarin.... yes I know he has 1 yr left on his rookie deal. Shaw is a waste of space.. will be Bickell again. Agreed. Get this kid signed.
