QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Feb 1, 2015 -> 11:44 PM) Viciedo had a great year with the Indians when I traded him for Yan Gomes. Now, Gomes doesn't even play because Rob Brantly is a f***ing stud in my OOTP. Update on my last season, I lost in the ALCS to the Angels. Angels ended up defeating the Nationals for the WS. I am now in July of 2016 and in 2nd place, back by 2 or 3 games. It has not been a great year for us. Viciedo is having a pretty good year since he has been in the lineup. Oh and Adam Eaton got hurt for 4 weeks like 2 games after I posted so now Thompson and Bonifacio are sharing time at CF. Michael Taylor is on my bench

I am about to start the draft in my first year in OOTP. Alexei and Melky are both injured and this the line up I am rolling out there: Eaton Bonifacio Abreu LaRoche Garcia Viciedo Brantly Johnson Sanchez I have a 26-18 record, 2 GB up in the division.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 1, 2015 -> 11:35 AM) The Cardinals being ahead of us is a joke. Mozeliak would trade his top three for the Sox top three so quick it wouldn't even be funny. Sale>Wainwright Shark>Wacha (A guy who was hurt most of the year last year and who knows if he would be as good as he was the year before) Quintana=Lynn I hate the Cardinals

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 31, 2015 -> 08:53 PM) I'm real close to calling this certain at some point. Real close. Oh Yeah!

Great end and win for Duke!! Only 8 scholarship players on their team now and 4 are freshmen

On the other hand, Butler gets a lot of calls

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 30, 2015 -> 12:17 AM) Superstars get that call right there... Hill swatted Rose on the head before he got his hand on that ball. Rose never gets any calls

Horrible play. 15 seconds and you just dribble around and shoot a jumper?!? Come up with a damn play

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 29, 2015 -> 11:49 PM) Why the heck does she want a photographer at the proposal? Will there be any suspense/surprise at all? I don't get this one very well. Lol. She won't know the photographer is there. I am planning on having that person just happen to be at the place before we get there and they are taking pictures of the skyline or something like that. Or someone to be there that is in on the proposal and I can hand our camera to acting like they will just be taking a picture of us, we always have to ask people to take a picture of us so she won't really know the difference

What a pass by Noah!! Should have been an and 1

Thank you Thibs for not keeping Hinrich in

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 29, 2015 -> 11:50 PM) Brooks >Hinrich Too obvious

"Oh a minute to go? Now we will start trying"

Took Rose to get hurt and to come back for Hinrich to come out of the game for someone who can score

This team is pathetic

Another game where we don't have it.. Also, why the f*** is Hinrich still in the game when we need points?!? He doesn't do that!

Maybe one day Thibs will know how to manage minutes and make adjustments during the game. Probably not . Wishful thinking

Anybody else think Noah and Pau should never be on the floor together at the same time?

Why did Thibs change the starting line up? I thought Snell was doing fine in the starting line up

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 29, 2015 -> 05:33 PM) A friend of mine does it as a hobby and I could ask if he is interested. Does he have a Facebook page or something like? If he is interested could you PM his email and I will email him

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 29, 2015 -> 05:06 PM) Do you really want a photographer there for that? You are going to have so many moments captured on film for the upcoming months and your future lives that moment should just be for you and your future wife to remember in my opinion. Congrats btw I would be fine with none but she has told me the past couple years she wanted someone there to take pictures of it happening. I don't know why but it is what she wants. Thank you

Well on a serious note: I am planning on proposing to my girlfriend in March in Chicago and I need some help/advice. I have posted a couple times in the past but with no luck so I am hoping this thread is the place for this. I am wanting to get a photographer to be there and take pictures of it happening and some afterwards. I am not wanting a professional photographer who wants to charge $350+ for just an hour at most. I am looking for more of someone who does photography as a hobby or side job who would like to make some money and help me out. Does anyone know anybody that would fit that description? I really don't want to just hand some random person my camera and tell them the situation and trust them getting pictures. I would rather pay someone $50-$100 to be there and get some good pictures. IF you know someone I can contact or any advice on this please send me a PM. I have been searching for a few months now and haven't had much luck. Also, I have been trying to think of something I can do to make it more special and not just going to the place I want to do and proposing. I was thinking of maybe a limo or something to take us around Chicago and see places we haven't been to yet. Any good limo services that are affordable for 2-3 hours? Any other suggestions would be very helpful. I can't fall asleep at night anymore because I am thinking about this so much. I am not good at being creative. PS: I am not from Chicago for those of you that don't know that.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jan 28, 2015 -> 11:54 PM) It's def Robin's make or break year IMO. If he doesn't do SABER style things like play the platoon advantage (backed up by splits, not just some gut feeling) then he's going to be second guess both in the media and the FO imo. Hahn doesn't seem like he's expecting anything other than 85-90 wins this year. If Robin doesn't deliver the axe will fall, as it should, again, imo. I feel like Robin is going to have too much to think about in terms of lineups and when to use who and where. I love the versatility this team has but I am not sure if Robin can handle it to be honest.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 28, 2015 -> 10:25 AM) First off, if you didn't just flat out enjoy this game, well, you aren't a basketball fan. That game was fun, exciting, etc. Had the feeling of a playoff game out there with both teams flying all over the place. The energy levels from both teams were crazy high and it was damn exciting. Rose had about the oddest game you'll ever see. On one hand, he was extremely aggressive offensively and did a nice job getting points in the paint and didn't settle too much for the 3 (until late in the 4th where you could tell his legs were getting tired). Defensively Rose was sick. It is what this team has missed all year, imo. When Rose plays D, he is a well above average PG defender and it is critical cause it makes everything else easier. Passing though, I cringe all the time with Rose. He does so many things that are fundamental no-no's and they lead to cookie turnovers and way too many. However, I think we are seeing more of them cause now he's bringing his game to a quicker level, higher energy, etc, and that means he's getting caught in more positions where he hasn't really gotten enough practice and still has a lot of rust. Noah played huge tonight. Was running the court better than I have seen all year and much more active on the glass. Whole team was active on the glass (yes they gave up that tip in). Some huge shots late and big stones keeping in the game despite Golden State going on a few different runs. Klay is the best 2 in the league. Dude is insane. He hit some extremely difficult and clutch shots in the 4th. Damn that was fun. It was a crazy game. Not use to seeing the Bulls play fast, back and forth basketball like that. It was sort of frustrating they were playing into what the Warriors like to do but the end result is all that matters. I thought there was little chance we would win with Jimmy and 0% chance we would win without him so I was shocked. Team has a long way to go though

Haven't we grabbed enough below average OFs this off-season
