I love these pictures, but to be fair, when Jordan was at LeBron's career juncture, he was still flipping out after big shots. (The Shot in 89 comes to mind.) It wasn't until he reached the "I'm Michael Effing Jordan and I Know I'm Making This" in the early 1990s that he stopped celebrating and started just being a badass. Jordan's the shot also won the series. It was also his first playoff series win. Lebron has been to the finals before. So MJ went crazy over a 1st round series win? Bush.

Why let Aaron Miles live? -
Lous a freaking idiot Part 2 2009 season
SouthSideRyan replied to Keener98's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yeah. That was baffling. I can't wait to watch him get all pissy when someone asks him about it. Those other guys better be vomiting out back with Lee and Scales. -
God, you're dumb Mojo.
-
Oh and for people hammering Perry for the offense. The Cubs have a higher IsoDiscipline this year(.080) than they did last year (.078) It's batting average that's been the problem, not the Cubs' patience.
-
I'm on page 3 right now, and this is just incredible.
-
Dont worry because if he doesnt turn it around TONIGHT, the fans are going to give him and the rest of this team an absolute earful. CubsWin2009 is going to send him such an angry letter.

I'd love to dump Miles into a flaming bottomless pit.

Harden To DL (Back Strain)- Rehab Start Sunday 6/7

I agree, this team will win no more than 67 games. FOR [expletive]'S SAKE -
Would it be outrageous to bring Josh Vitters up?
SouthSideRyan replied to Gmoney08's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If he played in the SEC he wouldn't have to worry about that. -
Look, none of these AAAA pitchers are worth anything until they put up a lights out year at AAA or an above average year out of the pen in the majors. Think of the returns for Jae Kuk Ryu, Jon Leicester, Jermaine Van Buren, and on and on. Look at the crap we got for Wuertz this year, who was a hell of a lot more valuable than any of our AAA swingmen or Heilman for that matter.
-
Nobody's going to trade anything for Aaron Heilman.
-
Well, that depends. Marshall already has 330 above average innings at the major league level. Poreda doesn't have that many innings pitched in his professional career. ETA: And Poreda's BB rate(~5 BB/9) is scary this season in a tiny sample(~40 IP) I don't think there's any doubt Poreda is considered to be the best of the 4. Whether he ends up being the most successful is a different question though. So what he is the best at?
-
Oh, was IMB gone? I hadn't noticed.
-
I'm more surprised they aren't looking to trade him for a toolsy OF.
-
Aaron Miles feels confident he can accept your challenge B2B
-
It's not just the drop-off at 2B, there's a pretty sizable defensive drop off in LF as well.
-
Just imagine what Vitters's #s will look like after Von Joshua gets a hold of him.
-
No, but it definitely sets a market for him. Basically 2 top pitcing prospects and 2 PTBNL. Unfortunately, we dont have the 2 top pitching prospects. Wed have to see if Marshall and J jax would constitute that. If Shark didnt have that NTC, it could be a different story. Clayton Richard is a not a top pitching prospect. Pretty much this. Jackson + Marshall would measure up to Poreda + Richard pretty well. Except that Poreda is pretty much considered the best of those 4, no? Well, that depends.

In the general scheme of things, does it really matter who the 7th man in the pen is? Piniella rarely lets the 6th man pitch let alone the 7th unless they are up or down by a lot. The problem is there's no designated 5th or 6th guy either. It appears Lou's pen preference goes Marmol, Gooz, Gregg, the other 3, Patton. By having the 7th guy in the pen be somebody you know isn't going to step up you limit your options for guys who can actually become the 4th guy in the pen. What's crazy about it is it seemed Ascanio had become the 4th guy in the pen during his time here.

Ryan Theriot(amazingly) has been pretty good this year.
-
I hate David Patton like most mortal men hate Aaron Miles.

Tony Gwynn Jr. sucks out loud.

Right. But it is time to look at getting Hoff in the lineup every day, regardless of egos and hurt feelings. Depends, what's Hoff's mental makeup like?
