Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Go to downtown Chicago on St Patrick's day and you'll see plenty of shirts associating alcoholism and being Irish. People don't care when you rip on the Irish or joke at their expense.

Hop on the Bulls bandwagon bro. It should be a fun year.

I don't see Turner being worth it with Vuc on the team, tbh. I think this offense can be really good when Vuc plays how he is capable of playing.

I like Bacon in pre/post, he just sucks as the color commentator. I agree Ozzie is much better than TLR at this point. I think he has grown and learned a lot since his last gig with the marlins.

It's a national tragedy that the guy isn't a manager anymore. PC nerds that have never played baseball want him out of the game.

Balta for Padres manager!

Wow, Ozzie and the Padres are going to beat the Sox in the world series. Great.

This type of crap really bugs me. Just like Dick Allen, he should be in the HOF already. Instead he'll get inducted after he is dead, like Jerry Krause. All the guys I named should clearly be HOFers before their death.

The only scary thing will be the offensive output of that squad, and it would be scary for the opposing team

If this team looks like a contender near the deadline, they have to do it. PWill still has some good value IMO. He was the 4th pick after all (albeit a weak ass draft). Siakam has a big contract, and he isn't a good enough 1st option (but is paid like one). Given his contract, MAYBE a combination of PWill, Coby, Portland's 1st, picks/swaps + expiring contracts could get it done if Toronto decided to rebuild. He really hasn't lived up to the contract. Lettuce dream about it...

He shot 36% on 6.6 3PA last season. The guy isn't a bad shooter, and the potential is there. I think his overall FG% improves now that he isn't the primary point guard. Much less pressure will be on him. He's a scorer, not a point guard. Coming off the bench will suit him better. What I thought they clearly missed is size and rebounding. They could use an athletic 6'10 player to put at PF. I wouldn't mind floating PWill to a rebuilding team if you could upgrade at PF.

Thank God for Jose Ruiz

Tried giving it away at the end, but a win is a win. You can see the potential this team has. They've got 3 guys that can average over 20 ppg, a legitimate point guard, a 6th MOY type player, and a deep bench. If this offense gels and the defense keeps it up, watch out. Coby White will be a great addition on the bench. Perfect microwave type scorer to have in the 2nd unit.

Williams is just too timid right now. Hopefully it is something he can develop. Still very young.

Moncada to 2nd, Burger to 3rd, Eloy in LF and Vaughn in RF. Defense won't matter with all the runs this team will score.

Cancel the world series!

Jesus, what a horrible roster. I wish Jerry would let Michael Reinsdorf take the reigns on the Sox as well.

Remember back in the day when Garpax would give away 2nd round picks for money? Ayo is this year's 2nd round pick and he's already been productive. Garpax were such complete shit.

They've looked so damn good on defense tonight.

I think Williams' 3-pt shot is good enough to keep the defense honest. He's still got a way to go before making much of an impact. I'm ok with him as the starting PF for now. Javonte Green has been impressive as a PF so far.

Was at the game yesterday. Atmosphere was great. This teams is already so much better than the recent teams. It's amazing how fast AKME was able to shed the Garpax stink. The team's ball handling, athleticism, and defense is noticeably improved. I know the opponents have been garbage so far, but it's been so fun to watch.

The Sox absolutely have to get a left handed 2B if they get this guy. I wonder if trading Vaughn is on the table at this point. They simply need to get more left handed.

I'm going to go ahead and make a Grandal thread for you to white knight in.

If I was manager, and would have them do field work and fundamentals until they can't physically run or throw the ball any more. They don't seem to want to defend, so drill it into them. Make them practice it from dusk to dawn.
