I like the homerun derby.

Stop trying to steal my thunder.

Did anyone catch this? It was pretty awesome. Sandlot style.

Don't they need somebody to score points? Plenty of room on the sunny side of Chicago sports. I'm ready for football season already. I can get behind that...but I'm good with what the Bulls have done. I don't know much about it, but it seems rather obvious they are still a long way from being a stud team without somebody who can score. Wallace sounds like a better version of Chandler's defense only game. An upgrade certainly, but not a guy who will take an already great defensive team that was mediocre overall due to inability to score, into a great team. Are they just expecting to win every game 79-78 or do they think one of their young guys is going to take a huge leap this year? The Bulls weren't as bad offensively as you make them out to be. They finished 6th in the East in scoring and 13th in the NBA at 97.8ppg last year. Not great but not terrible.

Pitchers were making clutch pitches against Corey all last year. It was just a tough break.

I think some can but what I don't like about Prior is when he struggles he doesn't seem (yeah IMO) to be able to fight out of it. He's had a lot of success and can't deal with failure when he face's it. He's freaking fighting his way out of some rather screwed up injury issues, as well as having to deal with the ineptitude of Dusty Baker throughout his major league career. This all seems like more of the "he's not man enough" rubbish that everybody falls back on when explaining why things aren't so fine and dandy right now. I agree. How many ace pitchers have had the weight of a franchise thrust onto their shoulders and came out the better for it? As a 25 year old, I'm sure there's more than enough pressure on him, without having to battle back from consistent and random injuries. It's almost like some fans (and Dusty) think that he's supposed to pitch a perfect game every time out there. Agreed. I get really sick of these stupid "insights" into players personality that everyone seems to have. Instead of realizing that he's been hurt every single year he's been in the majors and thinking about the effect that just the missed time will have on a player (not to mention the actual injury and rehab, etc), let's blame him for not being man enough. Michael Barret is stupid, Corey Patterson is uncoachable, Wood and Prior aren't tough enough, whatever the excuse of the day is. Things are bad enough now without coming up with stupid and pointless comments about a players mental toughness, or physical toughness or whatever it is these days. Well said.

I had trouble following it. I didn't even understand what he was talking about. He basically said that this isn't a good deal unless the Bulls get somebody to score 15ppg to replace Tyson Chandler. Ok, so I did understand it. I grow weary of his shtick.

Scott, dude, it's over. It's over.

Is this the beginning of a "Clutch Pitching" stance by the organization?

Aramis is right. Our pitching is terrible. We are 27th in ERA. I'm not sure I see what the issue is here. Our pitching sucks and our hitting sucks. Did Aramis say anything that wasn't completely obvious?

You got served, Soulpatch!

No, just finding holes. ozuna's ball was very hard hit, konerko's was a bloop. dye's hit wasn't a dribbler or anything, but it was hit in the right spot. same w/ aj's. i'm concerned that marshall is going to fall apart as his innings add up. This is a major concern for me.

??? Pinch runner in the first inning? Huh? Are they afraid of Pierre's cannon?

Barrett 7th? Eh.

ESPN's gamecast commentary is hilarious.

He is being rested for the playoffs.

For some reason that seemed a little high. I'm wondering what the total value is. I wouldn't think he's worth much more than $1.5-2m per. I heard that the total contract is worth in the 11-13m range depending on the escalators.

The deal seems reasonable.

Jesus.

So did Lee leave the game?

What happened? Why is he hurting?

5 k's and 2 er through 2. :-k
