  1. What would their adjusted payroll be after all these moves? It seems the Yankees truly do have a limitless budget.
  2. Stay the course, Jim. We're still in this thing!
  3. I just saw both guys on MLB Network (not sure who they were) say they thought Lilly would stay with the Cubs. Nice job Jim.
  4. Only the Cubs can turn a valuable commodity with a very manageable contract (Lilly) into a virtual salary dump.
  5. Click for depression Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! He dropped the ball!
  6. I sure am glad I sold my tickets to this one.
  7. When does the WGN deal expire?
  8. I thought that was out of question anyway. Aren't all the salary cap projections already figuring that Huet will be sent to the minors or elsewhere, thereby removing him from the cap picture?
  9. What is wrong with this guy? Strike 1 to Lee was 6 inches outside.
  10. Good for Byrd. Those were two ridiculous strike calls.
  11. The high-pitched noise is back and worse than ever on tonight's broadcast. This has been going on for months. I really wish the Cubs could fix whatever the problem is with their equipment, because I'm about ready to mute the TV.
  12. Hard to believe this team is 9 games under .500 after innings like that!
  13. There you go Cleveland fans. It is God's fault.
  14. This is true, but playing with LeBron will also probably extend Wade's career by lessening the beating that he takes on a nightly basis. He won't be the same player at the end of a 6 year deal, but will likely still be a very productive player.
  15. I'm admittedly not an expert on the NBA salary cap, but how is that possible? If the big 3 take 15 mil each they can sign Miller. Then they need to sign players on the minimum. Still possible but hard. That is assuming Beasley is gone, right? And if I'm another NBA GM, why would I do anything to help the Heat achieve world domination?
  16. In Game 1 of the 2007 NBA Finals the Cavaliers started Sasha Pavlovic, Drew Gooden, Larry Hughes, and Zydrunas Ilgauskas with Mike Brown on the bench. I think that qualifies and then some. The Heat can't afford players the caliber of 2007 Gooden, Hughes, or Ilgauskas. The Heat don't need players of that caliber. Exactly, I don't understand why everyone thinks Miami needs studs to back them up. Sure you need bench and role players but you DON'T need studs when you have 3 superstars on the same team. I think they will suffer a bit in the regular season due to their lack of depth and not wanting to rely on the "big 3" for heavy minutes every game. Once they tighten up their rotation in the playoffs however, the lack of depth will be much less of an issue.
  17. I'm admittedly not an expert on the NBA salary cap, but how is that possible?
  18. What report? That was the correct response to any report involving Bucher.
  19. Where did Adande say that? I get the idea that the Bulls probably had the most realistic, fact-based presentation whereas the other teams went for something more emotional, humorous, or extravagant. Choosing a team really shouldn't be about who can put together the flashiest presentation.
  20. Did he give a reason for that opinion? I believe his name was mentioned on Boers & Bernstein this afternoon due to a story where LeBron James filed paperwork recently to change a business address from Cleveland to Chicago. I don't know if that is all he is going on, but it sounded sketchy at best.
