  2. Hey, Rainbow Guy turned out to be a genuine religious nut who was kidnapping people and wanted to shoot down planes, so maybe taking out Marlins Guy would be a pre-emptive strike.
  3. Look, nobody is going to call you T-Bone, alright? You're a robot, so you better just get used to it.
  4. Maybe they both planned to [expletive] their pants together and then tweet about it.

  6. Not with the umps' strike zone for Soler. Which is just going to make it that much sweeter. He will have vengeance.
  7. Soler and Rizzo got this, people. It's all going to end well.
  8. You're not Kyle and this is not a first date. Well, yeah, because then you'd just be buying another chest freezer for the basement.
  9. Confession time: the only time I have ever [expletive] myself beyond being a small, small child was during a baseball game in high school. I was battling the flu, somehow managed to crank a double and then stupidly tried to stretch it in to a triple. I slid in to 3B and was out by a mile, but as I got to my feet I just started farting uncontrollably. It was like a foghorn was sounding for a good 10 seconds straight. I didn't even feel a point of no return or anything like that; it's like my terrible slide (in my fevered haze I basically just Roast-kicked into the air and landed flat on my side) just rattled my guts so much they unleashed. Fortunately I was so pooped out already I was just spraying foam, but still, it was humbling.
  10. Hopefully he didn't Paterno himself. Y'know, back when Paterno just had that one thing to be embarrassed about.

  14. The 2011 team won 7 straight. Jesus. That's basically the cruelest teasing possible given what was to come.
  15. The complete and utter lack of effort once things started going downhill in that game didn't make that clear to you? Because that was exactly what that looked like to me. And I think this is the single biggest reason why it went bad. No, I don't think the players suddenly gave up on the coach and the season halfway through the second quarter in a tied playoff elimination game just because they didn't like his offensive approach. Don't confuse failing with lack of effort. I think they failed because as talented as they are, these are players who often need to be coached offensively to maximize what they can do and Thibs simply isn't the best option for that. The Bulls don't have a star player who can just take charge out there and direct things. They can win with the core they have, but a defensive-focused coach isn't going to get what they need from the offense.
  16. And ultimately I am ready to move on from Thibs; I think most of reasoning for getting rid of him is the epitome of meatball slobbering, but the strength of the core the Bulls should be focusing on is their offensive ability, and Thibs is ultimately just too limited in that regard.
  17. That's not clear at all.
  18. It sounds like he has more value as an expiring now than as a player, which is pretty sad from where he was just a year ago. They have to be open to anything, but Taj for a big wing piece and hoping Noah isn't actually done may be the way to go. Start drafting them bugs though. I think the latter makes the most sense; despite his issues scoring, Noah's still pretty valuable defensively. It's not like they have to rely on him for their offensive schemes, so it shouldn't be a lost cause if they have to ride out his deal.
  19. I think Taj is the much more valuable trade chip. As much as I like the guy, he's going to cost too much to bring back and he's about to turn 30 himself. It's that I wouldn't mind moving Noah, but between his breaking down body and his offensive slide this year I don't think he's going to bring much back as a main piece.
