    It is literally impossible for me to overstate how much I do not care how "meaningful" you think my opinions are. The Bulls are goofily flailing, and yeah, it's fun on a freakshow level, but it's kinda ridiculous how they've so readily flown in the face of their own stated intentions AND of the dumbass coach they have. My thoughts on Butler have nothing to do with how this is a pretty hilarious way to not create a viable NBA team in 2016, not try to play to the supposed strengths of your coach, and dumpster diving for old timey marquee names just to try and stir up the local yokels.

    So what?

    I think there's a fascinating Stockholm Syndrome-thing going on in this thread.

    Maybe Reinsdorf is senile and he figures the Bulls can 2005 White Sox-their way to a championship.

    Meet the new Knicks; same as the old Knicks.

    That's the best part! At least it's the entertaining kind of terrible. Yeah, but the season itself is gonna suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Wade's just a boring old turd who is going to miss a ton of games.

    What a hilariously entertaining trainwreck of an offseason. Nobody has any clue what they're doing.

    Yeah, I technically could have gotten better glasses at the time, but the selection as a whole was just awful. Nobody had good glasses in those days.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    I had to get glasses when I was 10, and I very stupidly picked those big ass glasses because I thought, and I remember this so clearly, that if I got glasses that big I'd be able to see more/better. I mean, yeah, you technically "see more," but [expletive], I wish I could travel back in time and just shake some sense into that kid. I realized very quickly that those glasses were a poor choice, but there was no way my parents were letting me replace expensive glasses that soon. I definitely tried to break them, but those horsefeathering frames were indestructible. I was stuck with them until I was almost 13. Stupid kid.

    Yeah, the NBA has definitely trended mostly away from the same teams always winning the championship. The Bulls are the only team on that least that really ate up a chunk of largely consecutive title-time; within his arbitrary 30-year window, yeah, the Lakers won it 7 times, but it was 2, then 12 years until the next 3, and then 7 years until the next 2. Hell, I don't know why he didn't push it back to 40, when it actually was basically dominated by just 2 teams for a decade.

    Thoat was the '89 card, and you aren't kidding about getting his card all the damn time. It felt like he was in every other pack.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    That'll do it! They just having been trying hard enough! Yeah, the pitching just hasn't been motivated to not suck.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    New blood? Like, half the team is brand new blood right now.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, the catching prospect coming up and looking amazing happens all the damn time. - Russell getting fixed - Bryzzo going on monster tears - Carl's Jr coming up and suddenly not walking guys - Warren coming up and giving five solid - etc. I was saving the rest for his replies, dammit!
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Look, the waves and waves thing clearly worked out, but the FO seems repeatedly stymied by the tidal pool of relief pitching. That metaphor works, right?
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, the catching prospect coming up and looking amazing happens all the damn time.

    If Castro had stayed on the Cubs he would have continued his phoenix-like glory, d'uh. Clearly this is the result of a broken heart.

    Now that Contreras is here and real and beautiful, Montero is just a bag of meat to me. I hear ya...Willson certainly takes the sting out of Montero's sudden inability to play baseball. I still like the guy and wish he was better though. A big part of it is I find him very disconcerting to look at. Any time my Cubs team can be better-looking, I'm all for it.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Thaaaaaat's the stuff.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    That'll do, Warren.

    Now that Contreras is here and real and beautiful, Montero is just a bag of meat to me.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    I think Montero is dying.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Stuff is pretty decent. Command is still a bit iffy, but not horrible. The HR was a pitch that drifted over the middle of the plate, but he's mostly been around the edges. Though it is the Reds.
