  1. Bryant is the chosen form of the Traveler.
  2. Because it was hit really hard and Wong made a good throw to 2B.
  3. Two first place teams with huge fanbases are dominating national broadcasts? Get outta town.
  4. Oh, that's all? I'm really not sure what your angle is here. Is it Sarcastic "Oh, that's all," IE we'd never get a few low level prospects for him? Or serious "Oh, that's all," suggesting that he's worth more than a few low level prospects. But the fact that, off the top of my head, Tony Campana, Jeff Baker, Scott Hairston, and Rafael Lopez, each brought back something of moderate intrigue suggests to me that Mike Olt could bring back two of those. All of those players except for Lopez have demonstrated more value than Olt ever has, two of them significantly so, and were actually able to stay on the field. But other than that, sure, I guess he's somehow similar to the random collection of former Cubs players. So, yes, it was an incredibly sarcastic "oh, that's all." The return for Lopez is about the best you could expect (PS: Manuel Rondon is not even remotely "intriguing.")
  5. aren't 2 of those against the cubs? yes i'm wondering why that's so odd. it would be like cardinal fans complaining we were on Fox and then ESPN 2 times w/in 4 days It's not like any of these people actually think about the quality of their complaining; it's just about the quantity of their misery.
  6. Meh. Until he started hitting OK this year he's kinda just been a bit of a Darwin Barney upgrade.
  7. The Bulls have a good core. They have a history of being competitive and developing players. I have no idea why you think their plan is to just bottom out and pray for a lottery pick.
  8. Stupid board.
  9. Flip Montero and Soler and I am down to clown.
  10. cuz 'trending' Because you're taking the glass if half empty view on every single player. It's completely reasonable to view it in a less then optimistic light. The Bulls aren't contenders for the foreseeable future. (Likely 2 years when Rose/Noah/Pau go away) Then we're back to praying upon ping pong balls and hoping the surly front office can lure a big name free agent. Welcome to NBA hell. The Bulls' success isn't hinged on Gasol and Noah; it's hinged on Butler, Rose and Mirotic. Why you're assuming they're just going to sit pat and simply wait to shed players, especially when the cap is going to exploding, only makes sense in the tedious context of literally every post of yours about the Bulls being some variation of your "basketball hell" bellyaching. We get it; you think the Bulls are eternally doomed and anything short of a championship is an absolute failure to you.
  11. cuz 'trending' Yup.
  12. I had a friend who inexplicably would pronounce Murton's name with an accent, like it was pronounced "Moo-tone." He chalked up it up to, "he looks like a lumberjack, and lumberjacks are Candian so somehow his name is French." It was...annoying.
  13. I know Lilly is a dead-eyed psychopath and I love him.
  14. Oh man, I had that same set. I can only imagine how tired my parents got of watching me do the same tricks. Heh, same here. I thought I was Doctor Strange.
  15. Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. They don't need to win the division to win the freakin' WS. Would you rather her say '[expletive] it, let's splurge. Schwarber and Edwards for the earthly remains of Ichiro!' 'Is Chase Utley still alive? He is? You want Rubi Silva and Brian Schlitter? Well that just won't do. You'll take Pierce Johnson and I won't hear any more of it!' GFD IT you are a GD moron. This might have been one of his worst posts of all time. Thank you for picking up the slack, gentleman. I think I blacked out reading his reply.
  16. IT'S LIKE THE SMITH AND JONES OF HALF THE WORLD.
  17. Hahaha. Only the [expletive] Cardinals. But that's an outstanding bat flip. Yeah, gotta give him credit for that. That guy knows who he is and [expletive] everyone else; he is living that moment.
  18. This is fantastic, not because of the flip itself, but because it [expletive] breaks Jared Weaver. He just snaps. Even Brian McCann is embarrassed for Weaver after watching that.
  19. YESSSSS. I would kill for someone to act as if they had a bum leg and use the bat as a cane only to flick it away halfway to first base, do a Barry Bonds spin, and double-tap their chest. Perfect. Or something like this: http://i.giphy.com/jX0GUKnHqr2s8.gif
