  1. Cause he is shooting off-balance, stupid shots
  2. What is Gordon doing. He goes from stupid shots to smart ones too quickly.
  3. Get Miller out, he has been terrible. Get Tyrus in.
  4. Rose could have taken over games like this before. He was too nice. But I'm glad he's doing it in the playoffs now.
  5. Exactly, but I don't think the Cubs will.
  6. Rose just might be one the fastest point guards I have ever seen. On that one three-point play he had, I think that was the fastest I have ever seen a player get down the court in my life. Way to play Joakim!
  7. Good choice.
  8. If the Bulls still had Skiles, you wouldn't have seen the development from Tyrus and Noah and Derrick Rose probably wouldn't have been given nearly as much playing time, especially if a Hinrich injury wouldn't have taken the decision out of his hands. Skiles is a big part of the reason Tyrus's development was stunted in his first two years. I feel strongly about this. I liked him while he was here but he definitely has his warts. But the team would be playing defense, hence they would be a better team.
  9. Harden is one of the best pitchers that I really wouldn't want on my team that I can think of. Bullpen killer.
  10. For people who hate the east-coast ESPN bias, but enjoy the look of their website and their writers.
  11. Don't you have to take a year off when transferring? Maybe if you are transferring to play a different sport you can waive that rule.
  12. Will anyone even remember Gabe Kapler 10 years from now? The women probably will. Isn't he the body builder?
  13. Do you think this is the worst of the playoff teams the Bulls have had since the Jordan years? Hard to say. The East was much weaker in the years the Bulls have made the playoffs and I think this team is peaking (relative to its talent level/experience) at the end of the regular season. I'd probably put the 04-05 team as the weakest even though it had the best seed. But that team had defense, and you can't discount that. All of the recent Bulls playoff teams have peaked at the end. Skiles got them at their peak toward the end of the season year after year. I wish the Bulls had him.

  15. Your not crazy at all, I much prefer the Miller park experience compared to Wrigley. I get to Wrigley about twice a year and about 10 to 12 at miller. Nice stadium with crappy fans=good seats for me. Not to mention heckle them when the cubs have a 10 game lead in the division. Can a true Cub fan say that? I'm not saying that you can't be, I just wanted to ask the question.
  16. Did the NFL add more national games to the Bears' schedule once they got Cutler or was it already pretty much set?
  17. I don't remember hearing this. But I guess I was too young to remember. His vocal chords were almost damaged. I'm a big fan of his singing by the way. Nothing outrageous. He doesn't draw attention to himself like so many do. Great voice. http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/04/chicago-man-charged-in-south-side-abduction-attempt.html
  18. Jenks was shopped? I'd take him on the Cubs about now.
  19. Well I don't know what speed he hit but he pitched a scoreless inning allowing one hit and one walk. He also three 12 of 22 pitches for strikes. His fastball was topping out at 73.
  20. He has the triple crown with the Yankees and the best ERA.
  21. The Pistons don't have Dwight Howard. He is going to eat Noah alive. The Bulls don't force any team to do anything that they don't want to do.
  22. I wanted Blanco back, but Hill will do. He caught someone stealing last week on a tough pitch in the dirt. On the other hand, I don't know if he or Gregg called that curve to walk Milwaukee's 5th outfielder. That was inexcusable. But he's doing just fine so far. Hill called that pitch and apologized for it afterward. Good job then. I heard an interview with him today and he seemed like a cool guy.

  24. These are the irons I play. They are made from forged steel, so when you hit the ball solid, it feels great. They are also cavity backed, which makes it easier to get it off the ground. I am pretty sure these clubs were designed with one degree less loft than normal. Pretty solid clubs for the price, but you might be able to find better. What is your handicap? http://www.golfsmith.com/products/BH1960/Ben_Hogan/2006_Apex_Edge_Iron_Set_3-PW_w/_Steel_Shaft 16 handicap when playing semi-regularly last year for the first time in about 5 years. Hit my 6 and lower irons very consistently, very inconsistent with mid-high irons, fairway woods and driver. Short game is coming along. Not expecting any miracles with new clubs. I play about a 15 year old set of Wilson's that aren't terrible, just looking for something a touch more forgiving. I'm able to play a nice draw with 7 iron and lower pretty consistently, need to get better with everything longer. My biggest problem is getting my body out in front, especially with the driver. Local pro gave me a nice tip/drill where I put my right toe even with my left heel, about 6 inches apart and keep that right heel on the ground all the way through the shot. Or putting that right foot back with only the toe on the ground. Takes my body out of the shot and don't lose much distance at all. Then I go back to a normal stance, normal shot and I just have a killer time trying to slow my body down. When I get my timing down I can put together a really nice round, but when I get too fast with the body it's tough to get it back. I'm not sure where you live, but most big golf stores like Golfsmith let you test the clubs out at a real range they have or a simulated one before buying them. I would recommend that.
  25. Dwight Howard. And the Bulls are bull fighters on defense: they hold out a red shirt and the offense runs right by them. The Suns' style of play (fast- paced, no defense) which the Bulls are incorporating has never won a championship that I can think of.
