Why would Wade go out of his way to recruit players to Chicago when only kinda sorta wants to be here in the first place? If his relationship with Riley wasn't so messed up, he never would have left Miami

YES!!!! The team mascot will save us!

So we're all in agreement that New Benny is still the best move of the off season, yes?

If this was like the slam dunk competition, 6 of the 8 competitors would be fifth outfielders who get 3 AB's per week

3 walks and a wild pitch from Cahill? Maybe the blackout is a blessing. Ha, maybe? Try absolutely

I really wish I could watch this (stupid horsefeathering blackout rules)

I feel like Rizzo gets a lot of low and outside pitches called as strikes on him

Gamecast shows the 2 strikes to Zobrist out of the zone, but the 3 balls in the zone. More umpire tomfoolery?

If Westbrook goes anywhere besides LA, NY or Miami I'd be shocked

I am definitely not going to spend the night annoyed that Arrieta's name is misspelled in this thread title

It's now scrollable at least What are you expecting - less info in the table when you're on mobile? Sorry, that came off as shitty. Thank you for the update

It's now scrollable at least

I'm not sure there's much of a market for butters out there. He's worth more to us than he would be to anybody trading for him. We can always try to get them to take Derwood instead. I've got 10-5 rights, bitches

In the past, wasn't he most successful when he was hitting balls to left field? Wasn't a lot of his power to the opposite field? If they're pounding him inside, that explains all the weak contact/grounders to second.

No word on what scraps/players-we-will-immediately-cut the Bulls got back for Dunleavy or Calderon?

2008 me is ecstatic

Ray Allen now saying he wants to make a return to the NBA.....with either the Warriors or Cavs http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/16822398/ray-allen-eyeing-golden-state-warriors-considering-return-nba?ex_cid=espnfb

I'm jealous of kids these days....the glasses designers have started making good looking frames for kids. Both of my daughters wear glasses and their frames are stylish. I asked my ten year old if kids at her school get teased for wearing glasses and she said "why would they? Half the kids wear glasses". My glasses were always awful and dorky and horrifying

Gotta love coming home from work, finding out that the game is NOT on TV, but is STILL blacked out because...it's on TV?

Sounds exactly like the NBA Not really....5 years ago the Warriors were one of the saddest franchises in the league, now they are the evil empire. Cleveland is a [expletive] city and hardly a traditional power, but they just won a title. Indiana recently went through a run where they were a legit challenger to LeBron's Heat teams. Using that "Top 4" Premier league team concept above, here are the conference finalists the last few years 2016: Golden State, Oklahoma City, Toronto, Cleveland 2015: Golden State, Houston, Atlanta, Cleveland 2014: San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Indiana, Miami 2013: San Antonio, Memphis, Indiana, Miami 2012: San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Boston, Miami 2011: Dallas, Oklahoma City, Chicago, Miami 2010: Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix, Boston, Orlando That's 16 teams that have made the top 4 in the last 7 years, over half the NBA. Of those 16 teams, only 7 made repeat trips, and the most any one team made it is 4 of the 7 years. Miami (4), OKC (4), San Antonio (3), Golden State (2), Cleveland (2), Indiana (2), Boston (2), Toronto, Houston, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Phoenix, Orlando, Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis "Top 4" is pretty meaningless in the NBA. My comment was referring to how a relatively small handful of NBA teams have won the title over the past several decades. The last two years may be marking a change in that, but: # of Championships Since 1987 (30 years) LA Lakers - 7 Chicago - 6 San Antonio - 5 Detroit - 3 Miami - 3 Houston - 2 Boston - 1 Cleveland - 1 Dallas - 1 Golden State - 1 So only 1/3 of the teams in the league have won a title in 30 years. Compare that to 13 for the NFL and 16 for MLB
