  1. Been some kind of first half, fellas
  2. Blame Masnke In all seriousness, he was pretty much perfectly fine from 2012-15, with a little blip in '14. Whatever we did to try to unlock more power in spring of '16 seemed to really horsefeathers him up and he's never recovered.
  3. This is horsefeathering absurd
  4. I can't think of a worse person to try to make the discrimination case. Hernandez would've been out on his ass years ago if umpiring were any kind of meritocracy.
  5. This should be the title of the thread.
  6. Just a week until I can change my WC and really start unleashing on you fools
  7. That second dong was really impressive by Happ. Crazy that he's on pace for 20+
  8. He said singles, not 4-3s
  9. I don't think so. He actually pulled off a slick Javy-slide and would've been called safe on replay had he been able to hold the bag.
  10. Whoever it was that said Miggy should've known not to piss off Theo was right on the money.
  11. It's not completely irrelevant at all. Jake wasn't helping Montero last night specifically, but Montero spoke as if there was some completely incorrect narrative that he can't throw anyone out. He can't throw anyone out. He literally hasn't.
  12. No. One SI.com article said the only defensible thing about the deal is how bad it makes the team now, and I think that's the closest thing to a defense I've seen. And the hell of it is, it probably doesn't even make the team THAT bad unless Dunn and LaVine both turn into their worst-case scenarios. A basket of future picks probably would've made the team really bad, but they wouldn't even go that route apparently. FWIW, Boston supposedly wasn't offering 3 or next year's Nets pick (Danny Ainge is allergic to trading anything with any value at all), so who knows if there was a better deal out there.
  13. Paxson said their job is to rebuild through the draft, which should've been followed by 50 questions in a row about why they traded away a horsefeathering first round pick today
  14. I don't know anything about Bell but I was just about to think 'well at least we grabbed someone everyone on NBA Twitter thinks should've gone several picks ago' and, nope, just sold him off. What an absolute travesty this franchise has become.
  15. This is odd I'm just glad they started the rebuild instead of wasting another season of hopeful mediocrity. Again, I'm not a huge fan of the return. But I do like LaVine. He's a gamble right now, but I'm OK with that. I HAD liked Dunn. Its not inconceivable he's able to turn into a solid point. And I like Markkonen. That said, I expected a future pick or two, plus keeping 16.(assuming we were dealing with Minnesota and those guys were in the deal) I'd have preferred dealing with Phoenix. I don't think Boston had any real intention to get him, or they would have him. Thank God they picked a direction, decided to rebuild and immediately traded away a mid 1st rounder
  16. We don't get 16. Minnesota does. What a horsefeathering terrible move
  17. Well, we just let a relief pitcher score a run, so that was cool.
  18. If any fan base should be leery of the magic 'blow it up' strategy, fans of the 1999-04 Bulls ought to be. The Bulls did pretty decently in the draft in that span considering who was available for their picks - even if you factor out Brand because they stupidly traded him, Chandler, Hinrich, Deng and Gordon were all pretty good picks - and the team created from those picks got us all of 1 playoff series win. Personally, I'd like to see Jimmy stay unless someone wants to pay through the nose in assets for him, but IMO neither path will mean much with GarPax running the show.
