    I don't think he can hit .300 and have a .350 OBP for a whole season. If he wins the job and the Cubs don't land Peavy, the DeRosa trade was terrible.

    The question should be, how is Aaron Gray still in the NBA? He is the best offensive 4 or 5 the Bulls have. That is not saying much, but it is still the truth. Miller cannot play defense any better. As slow as Gray is, Miller is slower. He has also been making some stupid passes lately. Every time Brad shoots, he is dangerously close to getting blocked because he can't jump.

    I am about ready for Aaron Gray to get some more playing time. What does Brad Miller do better than him?

    Ben played great for most of the time, but he gets greedy and decides to take 27 foot three-pointers which I am not a big fan of. He will score 40 and give up 40.

    What was Gordon, Rose, and Salmons doing on defense tonight? I saw Ben just watch as Wade drove right past him and dunked. Ben literally just stood there. Thomas should have been in the game earlier. Almost all of Miami's baskets late in the fourth quarter and in both overtimes where right near the basket. Thomas was needed to defend the hoop. And when he did get in the game he had an immediate block and a dunk. The problem with Ben is that in crunch time he can't draw a foul and can't drive to the lane. Wade just torched them. I didn't know Brad Miller was this bad. All they do is put a pick up top and Brad gets lost in the shuffle. It was a good game to watch, but a poor ending to say the least.

    Can Northwestern make it to their first big dance if they win 2 games in the Big 10 tournament or is their only chance getting the automatic bid by winning the whole thing?
  7. Wilson A2000
    Nice game by the Bulls. Noah is playing better. But boy, Brad Miller is slower than molasses.

    To get us ready for opening day, WGN made and is airing a new commercial. It showcases Len singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" with a rock band. Bob is playing the guitar with his hat on backwards. I used to think Len and Bob were cool. But I still love them. http://www.wgntv.com/chicago_cubs

    Julio Zuleta is playing the WBC. So is Bernie WIlliams. Wow! The coach of the Chinese team doesn't look Chinese at all.

    Did anyone notice that Rose was playing the final minutes of a blowout win during their last game? I wonder if Vinny did this to spite Paxson. "Hey Pax, if you want Rose in the game in the fourth quarter, here you go!" If that is true, I don't care if you do have to pay three coaches next year, he has to go. Once you are using players to advance your own agenda, you shouldn't be coaching in the NBA. I love the Bulls' press release yesterday. Deng needs "active rest" and the doctor encouraged him to challenge himself. Deng is weak stock. I knew this for a while. Fortunately, Deng is having a terrible year, so this doesn't hurt the team. This is probably the biggest game of the year so far. They need this win because the upcoming shcedule is very difficult (Heat, Celtics, Lakers). Tyrus Thomas, stop putting the ball on the floor. You can't dribble. You can't shoot fade-aways either. Who does he think he is? Dirk Nowitski?

    17-20 or something like that in his career and a bunch of bad INT's at the end of last year. He is getting better, but he isn't great yet.
  12. Wilson A2000
    Millen was a decent analyst before he became a GM though
  13. Wilson A2000
    I'm pretty sure.
  14. Wilson A2000
    Three sliders on the outside corner should do in Soto.
  15. Wilson A2000
    Phillips thought Piniella didn't handle Fukudome's transition very well. I have to go with Lou on this one. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-03-cubs-bits-chicagomar03,0,1666194.story

    Luol is not as injured as once thought. He might be playing very soon. The best lineup is Salmons at the 2 and Luol at the 3. The good Luol that is. I like how Paxson pretty much said that Rose better be playing at the end of every game. I doubt Vinny is going to be gone. Do you really think the Bulls are going to be paying for three head coaches next year (Skiles, Vinny, new coach)?

    http://espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=290301004 The ESPN announcer must not know who Dustin BI-FUGE-LI-EN is.
  18. Wilson A2000
    No one is taking Deng's contract. He has been injury prone, the economy stinks, and he will never be the player most people thought he would be. Salmons has better defensive skills, but I don't know if I want to put him up against 6-9 swingmen consistently.
  19. Wilson A2000
    A good QB is the single most important position in all of professional sports, so it makes sense to land Cassel. But the Patriots better hope that Brady is ready to go in September. Being traded to the Chiefs is tough. Yeah you make 15 million, but you are on the Chiefs.

    I saw this game too yesterday. Boy was everyone skinny. Maybe it was just me, but the pithers seemed to throw a good 5 MPH slower back then. I liked Bowa's aviator sunglasses. I couldn't imagine wearing those playing baseball today.
  21. Wilson A2000
    Japan doesn't have any better pitchers than Ichiro? Can he throw a curve, a change, or a slider?
  22. Wilson A2000
    Deng is one dimensional. He can only shoot the 15-17 fotter. He can't play defense, he can't dribble, he can't shoot the three (which you need to do as a 3 in the NBA), he can't post-up, and he isn't physical. Paxson has made a bunch of bad moves. I would have kept Chandler. He hired Vinny. He got Wallace. He passed on Roy and traded Aldridge. He drafted Thomas and Noah. He didn't want to trade Deng. He signed Deng. He didn't pull the trigger on Gasol, Kobe, or Garnett. His parting gift better be trading for Amare. Paxson briefly turned the Bulsl around after the Floyd mess. But he overvalued the Bulls in a terrible east. When was the last time the Bulls had and All-Star? The Jordan years?
  23. Wilson A2000
    I wish Del Negro would leave with Paxson. Man I had high hopes for Paxson when he first signed on, but he has made a ton of bad moves. I don't think Jerry is not wanting to pull the trigger on Amare. He hasn't been afraid to make the big move beforehand. Concerning Amare, does microfracture surgery diminish his long-term health, or will he always be 100%? I miss Scott Skiles. Paxson should never have fired him. Skiles looked bad because he had nothing to work with.
  24. Wilson A2000
    I won't give up on the game. Designer steroids will continue to be a problem, but I still enjoy the game.
  25. Wilson A2000
    The clean minor leaguers who didn't get jobs. Or clean established Major Leaguers who didn't get a better contract because their numbers weren't as good as someone who had steroid inflated numbers. Exactly. They also stole from Roger Maris and Hank Aaron. They stole from the game of baseball itself.
