    Pitch counts are retarded.

     

    Totally agree on that. Back in the 20s and 30s, a "bullpen" might've consisted of 1 or 2 pitchers (that's IT), because starting pitchers went the distance (even throwing 150+ pitches) most of the time! I think the current decline in arm strength goes back to the pussification of pitchers way back in Little League, and climbs into the high school and collegiate levels as well; when they finally make it to the pros, they simply do not have the capacity to pitch like their predecessors did.

    I don't know if any of you have noticed this; but, his defense never was the same once Sugar Ray got traded to San Francisco. Durham made Jose a better fielder (and sometimes made UP for his blunders).

     

    Anyways, here's hoping that he blasts the Cubs this year when the teams meet.

    Lebron

    I for one am getting SICK of all this "yada yada" on Sports Center about Lebron. He is NOT the next Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, or Bill Russell! He won't even be the next Horace Grant the more he becomes a "me-first" player. I just don't buy into the hype...But, do YOU?

    No way they reach  the 3rd best record in the conference

     

    Which brings up one of the biggest beefs I have with the playoff seedings. Why should Boston be seeded higher than us just because they won their division, when we will finish with a better record than them, DESERVING that #3 seed? Here's what I'm thinking...Guarantee all division winners a playoff spot; but, seed them according to their records!

    Our Bulls definateley will have a "nothing to lose, all to gain" attitude come playoff time.

    Im tired of all the Lebron hype too. All he ever does is whine to the refs for calls all game every game.

     

    Funny thing, after next season, he will bolt for LA and join Kobe. Afterall, he won't wanna stay with Cleveland's situation, and he wants to be in the "spotlight." LA is the PERFECT fit for him...

    I realized that 2nite Greg anthony on espn was saying how much the league is going to hurt not having NY, LA, or lebron in the playoffs  :headshake  never mentioned how adding chicago could help. Screw anthony and espn. Why do I still watch?

     

    Well, on CSN's Sports Nite, they interviewed Stern, and he said he's pulling for our team.

     

    I did find it odd that ESPN didn't mention us in there little "blurb" though. I was waiting to hear "but, Chicago's in it, so the ratings won't take as big of a beating," and couldn't believe no mention was made of it. I think the whole Lebron hype is way overrated. Right now, that Cleveland organization is in total disarray that they wouldn't draw very high ratings if they DO make the playoffs. I don't see Cleveland making the playoffs, though, as New Jersey's been too hot down the stretch, and will pass them in a few more days. I do find it weird that Cleveland actually LED us a couple of weeks back...Oh, how the tables have turned.

     

    It's great for our Bulls to be going in to the playoffs on a hot streak instead of "backing in," like the Blackhawks did back in 2001-2002.

    No way Chicago beats Miami or Detroit in a 7 game series. Book it.

     

    Maybe not Miami...But I think Detroit wouldn't be as difficult a task as some would think. We've got the chemistry and the team to do major damage to them.

    I still think that most of the basketball world still thinks of Jordan and Pippen and the old days when they think of us.  The thing of it is that we dont have any real household names, just a bunch of lunchpail kind of guys that go out and play the game.

     

    Not that thats a bad thing.  No rape charges, no intra-team fighting, a winning record.  Its all good!!!

     

    The fact that NONE of these guys are selfish will lead this group of young men places for YEARS. I give a lot of credit to Scott Skiles in always seeming to be able to utilize the strengths of each player.

     

    I think that the additions of Noc and Gordon were the two biggest additions of the season. Gordon's the obvious, but Noc is the heart of the team (IMHO), though he doesn't speak a word to his team very much. Noc never loses energy and is always defending very stingy. I think his experience with Team Argentina is helping us out more than has been mentioned here.

    Pablo Ozuna may start on Sunday...

    Now NOBODY likes Timo more than Hawk...I can STILL hear "C'MON TIMO!!!!" in my head. :D

     

    IMHO, Timo won't get any more than 1 start per 10 days, and even less when Frank's back (1 start every 2 weeks). He's great to have on the bench tho, as well as in case of injury (knock on wood that that doesn't happen).
