What was the other lackluster season? Both years in Texas were lackluster. He said without Jaramillo, which was a really odd qualifier, since he was bad in Texas. Also, that was 5 and 6 years ago. Does anybody believe those #s would come into play if Soriano was a free agent?? Sure, I would think the career arc of a 34 year old would come into play if Soriano was a free agent. If somebody is thinking of signing him to a 4 year contract today, they would probably think about more than just what he did in 2007 and 2008. Yes, they'd also take into account 2009 and 2010. 2004 and 2005 really?? When he showed dramatic improvement over the following 5 years? Well this guy wasn't very good 6 years ago, screw him. -

So Lowell's been platooned and he still stinks. -

If Soriano was a free agent right now, he'd get more than 4/40.
-
If he stays hot until the trading deadline and we were pretty significantly out of it, I could actually see Hendry offering him up. I don't know what interest there would be, but it could be there if we footed some of the bill. I'm pretty sure I remember that Hendry was trying to deal him in the offseason, but there was no interest in him. I'm not sure there would be much interest in him even if the Cubs paid 75-80% of his contract because of the years involved. You're not sure there would be interest in Alfonso Soriano at 4Y/14M?

First 10,000 fans get a Ryan Howard lawn jockey....

OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! -
I would definitely fire Rivers and promote TT

Cashner being moved to the bullpen and may be called up

You can bet that it's Stevens that goes down for him, and not crummy old Bob Howry. -
Would the posters in this thread really let him cut in line?
-
Boston by 17 in game 6.

Are you including Rondo as one of the three, because in what [expletive] universe is Ray Allen an all-star? And I'm not saying anything about them going forward wolf, so Rose's age vs. Rondo's doesn't mean a thing. If you have Rondo as a top 5 PG, I assume you have him above Rose at this moment?
-
Why are you pretending like it's me and Hollinger off on an island saying how good Rondo is. A decent minority of the Bulls fans on here think he's better than Rose, nearly every analyst thinks it, this isn't just blind homerism on my part.
-
For whatever reason, Rondo became afraid to shoot again. I don't quite know why. The only way you can think Rose is a better player than Rondo is if you think offense is the only thing that matters. And even then, it's a lot closer than you want to paint it.
-
Hey Bulls, Please don't hire Thibodeaux, we might win 40 games next year if Rivers is left alone with this team.
-
NO Do you think there's a chance he could make Rose even 1/50th as good defensively as Ronda? That way Rose would only be half as good as Ronda overall. Dude, Rondo made Thibodeau, not the other way around. You know that. You could let Derrick play with a sword, outlaw calling any kind of violations on him and he'd still be worse than Rajon. Somebody's jealous of those MVP cheers Rondo was getting. I wonder how many more seasons it will take for Rose to win his first playoff series. (Rondo won a title by this point btw)

NO

He'll slot in nicely as our 6th inning guy
-
It's not really weird. He would have been about the sixth or seventh guard on the depth chart. But he doesn't seem that interested in basketball and has 1 year of eligibility left. What's the point? (Countdown to Ping saying Illinois is forcing him off the team to make room)
-
He was working out with UCF(Marcus's team) a few days ago. Still seems strange though. He's smart enough to get an academic scholarship at U of I and was a year away from graduating. I guess it doesn't matter where your degree is from when you're going to work for Nike for the rest of your life, but still.

Bobby Howry

60 day DL counts towards service time. -

Pretty sure Howry just moved to 7th inning guy -
Who gives a s**t about vacated wins. It's so meaningless. The picking and choosing of who the NCAA goes after makes no sense to me. All I wanted was for you to admit that you think the NCAA is picking on poor ol Cal
-
I was thinking Dave Bliss. ETA: Obviously Calipari isn't in the same stratosphere as him.
