Cook only has to step on each baseline to complete the cycle.
-
Completely hypothetical, but does anyone else think if the Bulls pull off the miracle of all miracles in knocking off Miami, Derrick Rose would return for the following series? If he thought they had a realistic chance of winning the title, I think he would be playing.
-
Ok Nate, that's enough.
-
Pay attention Derrick. There's your team leader.
-
I'm not expecting any favors from the refs, between the fact that it's Game 7 on the road and the fact that the Nets are definitely the more marketable team going forward. Well that's silly. Rose didn't say he was done for the season. No, but God did.

It was close, but I'm not sure continuation really applies in that case. If it did, guys could just throw up a 3 pointer every time the whistle blows and get 3 shots. What Chris Paul savvily does all the time and gets the call? Possibly. I couldn't tell you the last time I watched Chris Paul play.

Nice 1st quarter.

Keith Moreland provided this nugget of wisdom on today's broadcast, in reference to Aroldis Chapman's velocity: Trying to make sense out of that statement is about enough to make my head explode, but it is just one of many complaints I have about Moreland. With this being the last year of his contract, I really hope the Cubs are keeping their options open. When he isn't saying something dumb, he is choking on his words, and when he does play-by-play in the 5th inning I have no idea what the hell is going on. I don't care that he played 6 seasons for the Cubs. There must be hundreds of guys who could do a better job, including Mark Grace whose options are now limited enough that he would probably accept a lower-paying radio job that he might not have taken before.

Maybe they can bring in Sidney Green to do their interviews. First Kendall Gill and now Suzannah Collins. I'm pretty sure Comcast is just getting rid of everyone that I like.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. She was awesome.

That's kind of tough when the coach redlines them for the entire regular season. If nothing else, I hope Thibodeau is learning a lesson from this. What, keep strains of influenza out of the locker room? Make sure Derrick Rose always has a flat landing surface? This team was perfectly healthy in the 2011 playoffs. What about the nagging injuries to Noah, Gibson, Deng, and Hinrich? What about them? Hinrich is old and breaks down on the regular and it's a miracle he's made it this far. Noah's injuries are mostly based out of a condition you can't really do anything about. You can try to keep the injury from flaring up by watching his minutes in regular season games. I'm not trying to say that all of these injuries are preventable, and obviously there is nothing a coach can do about players getting the flu, but there are things he can do in the regular season to try to maximize the team's health going into the playoffs. If that comes at the expense of a playoff seed or two, so be it. Ultimately it wouldn't have mattered much this year, but I just want Thibodeau to learn to pick his battles and know when to occasionally concede a game for the greater good.

Thibodeau is an amazing coach, but his one flaw is pushing too hard to win individual, and sometimes meaningless, games without seeing the big picture. And as for Derrick Rose... Thibodeau is the one who put him back into a game that he had no business being in.
-
I assure you, he's not And Comcast is going to be showing a special segment on the Bulls winning the draft lottery to select Rose. That's just perfect timing.

He looks pale as [expletive] out there. It's amazing he's even able to run at this point. At least he has his muscle memory.

Maybe Fox will get involved. They could put Cubs games on WPWR or even split them between WFLD and WPWR.
-
I have never liked Jackson very much, but I realize that he does provide value in his durability. With that said, he certainly isn't going to make or break the Cubs' future. By the time they are ready to compete, he will be nearing the end of his contract. Best case scenario, he is pitching well in a few years and becomes a good value piece that can either be held onto or dealt. Worst case scenario, he just won't be re-signed and will free up some money to sign someone else in 4 years. -
It is somewhat disconcerting to see what tickets are going for on StubHub. It is almost pointless to even bother selling tickets there, with some of the upcoming weekend games being lucky to fetch half of face value. We all knew we were going to lose money, but a lot of people aren't going to be able to sustain or justify these types of losses. I completely expected to take significant losses on weekday tickets, but it is very surprising to me that weekend games are in such low demand. At this point I can't imagine making enough money in the good years to offset the bad years, but I suppose if/when the World Series comes it will all be worth it...

Nice job Gregg! If Fuji comes back healthy, could this actually be a good bullpen?
-
I hope the Bears draft a closer.

A save! Why hasn't this Kevin Gregg kid ever closed before?
-
It didn't matter, but Borbon slid REALLY early again and barely made it to third. What is wrong with him?
