    If there was no bounce back once they got healthy then it would mean that they had a crappy team and they traded away the key talent they had, which is absurd.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    John Salmons has been the 2nd best shooting guard in basketball since the trade. Yes, better than Kobe, Roy, and Joe Johnson. He's been outrageously efficient on the Bucks and led them on a huge run. And he was largely craptacular with the Bulls this year. Holding onto him wouldn't have overcome Rose, Noah, Deng, Kirk and Taj all missing time (with the first 3 missing significant time and often at the same time). But please, explain why FA's will only focus on when the Bulls were struggling because they were beset with injuries as opposed to their 10-4 run to make the playoffs.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, it was the trades that made them struggle as much as they did. Not the injuries to every single key member of the team. It was the crippling trades of John Salmons and Tyrus Thomas! Oh, the horror! It's a miracle they were able to go 10-4 at the end without those titans of basketball.

    He couldn't pick up the ball after a double by Weeks which allowed a run to score, and he misplayed a ball off the wall badly, allowing extra bases to be taken. Wait, wait, wait, wait...he didn't allow a run to score off the Weeks hit. Yes, it allowed Weeks to turn his easy double into a triple, but the two guys already on base were scoring based on where the ball was hit regardless of whether he picked it up right away. Yeah, I'm not so sure about that. Between how long he took to get to the ball and then dropping it once he did, I think he gave Bush a much, much better chance to score at the very least. IMO, if Sori gets to that ball quickly and gets it to the IF, the runner doesn't score from first. I'm not a Sori hater, but it was a bad play for multiple reasons. I completely disagree. Nobody is getting that runner out or holding him to 3rd based on where that ball ended up unless the OFer is incredibly fast, agile (ie - an exceptional fielder) and has Soriano's cannon of an arm, and even then it would be iffy.

    ? Basically talking down how much booing he's getting. Ah gotcha. The boo'ing is out of hand already with Soriano, and its not going to get any better. It really is a joke when Soriano could go 3-4 with 3 RBI's but let him strike out that 4th at bat and the idiots at Wrigley will be boo'ing. I "get" when people boo him if he has one of his outfield screw ups or if he has a game where he keeps coming up in key situations and does nothing, but it's gotten to the point where he's booed for almost every out he makes or or almost any hit to LF. It's just stupid.

    Right. Caridad has a decent chance of being useful out of the pen. They just need to work through these growing pains.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    There are. Lou doesn't know how to use them. Caridad, for example, would be very useful when our starter has just given up a slam and we're now down by 10. I sincerely hope they're not that short sighted regarding him. Giving up on young pitchers because they initially struggle in the bullpen isn't going to help the team.

    How is pointing out how relatively quickly he runs hot and cold over players a personal attack?

    God on Lou for sort of sticking up for Soriano.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Even that first AB looked good. He smashed a rocket, but unfortunately just right at the SS. Theriot or Soto? Soto.

    My worry with the pen still remains Lou. I know I won't let that drop, but I'll bet you everything that Gray is already in the stupid "doghouse," nevermind it was his debut and in a high leverage situation. He's a guy that can really help this bullpen and he needs to be used (same with Caridad when he comes back). My worry is more with the starting rotation, which is going to throw 6+ with 100+ every single time out. That too. It's a critical part of how bad Lou is at managing a bullpen. He deals with the bullpen seemingly how the most over-reactionary fan would.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Loving Marmol as the closer. Lou has to realize that Marshall is the setup guy. Once he settles on that I'll start feeling a lot better.

    Just filthy. Great win!
  22. Sammy Sofa
    EXCELLENT. Marmol REALLY likes being the closer.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    I really don't have anything against the Brewers outside of the typical divisional competition, but man, do I hate that Ryan Braun.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Nice. That's one.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Yikes.
