    Portland took a big steaming dump all over the Bulls tonight. I'm loving the chances of getting a better draft pick with each passing week. Because apparently you're a weirdo with no concept of how many other teams are worse than the Bulls. The ship of this season actually resulting in a truly good draft pick sailed a long time ago.

    Oh yeah. That's just someone with a big oversized slab of face.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    I don't know what that means.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Probably around 400 pounds.

    Because Marmol has been pretty bad while Street has been pretty good. SCIENCE.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    You're high.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Well, considering it's "Chicago politicians" that will ultimately lead to this getting done with Tunney as little more than an afterthought, yeah, you're being kind of ridiculous.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, no idea why anyone would ridicule something like this. No idea at all.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Sorry your stupid dumb Ronnie Cedeno love for jerks didn't pan out.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Yes, their interest must have never been higher.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Yes, as opposed to the sterling rep that Chicago has. Or anywhere in Illinois.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    And it's just a reminder of how great it can be when you can draft really well.

    I think September 2014 is a best-case scenario., and that's as a September "let him hang out in the clubhouse for the last week or two" call-up. The best case scenario for a top-20 prospect starting at high-A this season is two weeks in the big leagues in September of next year? In the specific case of this prospect and this front office? Yes. Well, that's ridiculous.

    The simple version is that they get him for six years, with the first year possibly not counting if you hold him down for part of it. When you want to start that clock is up to you. But he's not close to ready. He was last seen in a competitive environment struggling with A+ and the AFL. He's still two years away, easily. Not two full years, easily. Definitely not. So what's the likely plan position-wise? Moving him to 2B?

    That is a beautifully hideous monster of a swing.

    I've got more action than my man John Woo And I've got mad hits like I was Rod Carew
  17. Sammy Sofa
    YES, DAMMIT, YES.

    On my computers/devices I have it favorite-ed to the active topics page, but it was somebody else's computer and I was too lazy to type anything beyond "nsbb.com."
  19. Sammy Sofa
    So if you got to NSBB.com right now you see a white screen with this line of text at the top: Tim pissing off people like he's Doc Brown or some [expletive].

    Dude just loves Carlton that much.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, but he DOES seem really dumb. Or, he's not very excited about the team and what it can accomplish. i think that's a much worse thing to say about him in regards to his return I know. His brother opened the door to it. I shouldn't repeat it, or attribute it to Derrick, but I can't help but wonder since it isn't making much sense to me right now. Then he's still an idiot; the quality of the team shouldn't impact his efforts to rehab from the injury and figure out just what the hell kind of player he is at this point.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, but he DOES seem really dumb.

    Wikipedia says it is "a common injury in baseball players." Notable cases Jose Canseco, Oakland Athletics outfielder (1989) Ken Griffey, Jr., Seattle Mariners outfielder (1996) Jim Thome, Cleveland Indians first baseman (1996) Eric Hinske, Atlanta Braves first baseman (2003) Ryan Kalish, Boston Red Sox outfielder (2007) Dustin Pedroia, Boston Red Sox second baseman (2007) Troy Tulowitzki, Colorado Rockies shortstop (2010) Domonic Brown, Philadelphia Phillies outfielder (2011) Pablo Sandoval, San Francisco Giants third baseman (2011, right; 2012, left) Nick Markakis, Baltimore Orioles outfielder (2012) So hopefully Choi just sucked.

    Mine still aren't listed. Same here. They've really been dragging ass with the whole online sign-up/setup, so it's not surprising that this is behind as well.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    I have not seen it expressed clearly in this thread yet. So maybe I'm a dumb dumb, but maybe you can tell me again what benefit it is to have Rose play tomorrow as opposed to two weeks from now? Because the sooner he gets back on the court the sooner they can figure out what type of player he is and what he's capable of after an injury this bad. That's going to impact how they re-construct the team going forward.
