    Why wouldn't you want one of our best players healthy for next season? Given the current landscape of the Eastern Conference, we could still have a chance at the #2 seed even with Deng out until December and Rose coming back at some point. Who knows what happens between now and then, but I have a hard time seeing the Bulls getting the 2 in that scenario. (Not that they should really be concerned with that. Get your best players healthy, and prepare for the playoffs. Would be interesting if they dropped down to the 4/5 game and were slotted to take on Miami in the semis. There'd be some interesting tanking/busting your ass of games down the stretch to get out of that top half of the bracket.

    It's the uncle I was just talking to yesterday, who thinks Darwin Barney is the pinnacle of "what the Cubs need more of" and who still bemoans the loss of Theriot. What do you do in those conversations? I used to get all riled up and want to argue when I was younger. Now I'm just all like, "Heh. Yea. How about that." Depends how big an [expletive] they are about it. If they won't shut the [expletive] up and keep insulting people, then I start arguing. (Also helps if I'm drunk at the time)

    BRING BACK HENDRY

    Daniel Moskos still makes me laugh.

    Stewart's LD% is higher than his BABIP
  6. SouthSideRyan
    So he takes the average lefthanded hitter and turns him into Ted Williams at his best (in a limited sample size this year). Brett, not Jay.
  7. SouthSideRyan
    If all of that happened we'd be the favorites in the division.

    Don't forget Cardenas 2-3 with 3 RBI. His bandwagon sure is lonely. I'm still on it (though I haven't been on here to proclaim it really). He could still be a very useful major league player. I actually think he'd be a nice 2 hole hitter or maybe a guy who can hit in the 7th spot and give you some offense down there. I wonder if Stewart keeps struggling the way he has if Cardenas gets first crack at 3b? If nothing else, he could make Baker, Barney or Dewitt expendable for a team looking to add depth at the deadline. I don't think we'd get fair return on Barney, and I don't think we'd get anything for DeWitt. I'm fine trading Baker for a live arm.

    Yeah I'm confused why you'd trade Garza, and then go out and trade for a Garza type pitcher.

    COME AT ME MOJO

    i don't think amaro thinks that way though. he'd just sign him for like $20m a year and 7 years, then worry about the repercussions later. Like the repercussions of the owner telling him no, I'm not [expletive] spending 200M so you can put out the worst offense in baseball again?

    Who was on Holliday? He had the game of his life, and Turner had one of his best of his career. Just an off-night for Deng defensively or was he on Iguadola?
  13. SouthSideRyan
    The Hawks just quit down 7 with 25 seconds left. Didn't even bother to foul

    Atlanta is such a bad sports city. Pretty sure there are more Celtics fans there.
  15. SouthSideRyan
    I'm willing to bet somebody had to tell him how big of a douche he was being.
  16. SouthSideRyan
    I have no idea what's going on in this game, but it hardly seems on the up and up
  17. SouthSideRyan
    Because Korver is a zero on defense.
  18. SouthSideRyan
    LOL, Josh Smith goes for the tomahawk revers on a wide-open breakaway
  19. SouthSideRyan
    I hope Dusty continues to deem it important that he be a lefty bullpen arm.

    When you figure in Pence's arb award, the Phillies have ~125M tied up while losing their LF, CF, 3B, C, and 2 starting pitchers. All while paying corpses to play the right isde of the infield.

    10%. Sure, they'll throw in their hat into the ring for PR, but of course come up 20-30 million and two year's short. They aren't going to sign Hamels. I actually tend to agree with you there. I just don't see Ruben Amaro letting him go, and I see him bidding against himself and driving the price for elite FA pitching through the roof in the process. I wouldn't be surprised if the Phillies give him a contract that matches/exceeds Sabathia's/Lee's. How high do you think the Phillies payroll is going to be?
  22. SouthSideRyan
    406 for 9 bucks.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    Why there?
  24. SouthSideRyan
    The real problem I have is with the 15 morons that voted neither of them first. Include the 8 idiots that didn't have Pops in the top 3 and the 18 fools that didn't have Thibs in the top 3. I could accept arguments for Vogel or Hollins. The Rivers and Karl votes are terrible. ETA: Why did Monty Williams get a second place vote??
  25. SouthSideRyan
    That I could get behind.
