That's how I pieced it together too. Thought the two 3's was the crazy ending everyone was talking about until I refreshed my feed lol -
2024-25 Chicago Bulls Regular Season Thread
UMFan83 replied to Outshined_One's topic in Other Sports
Clearly the team is very entertaining, and if they can somehow get ahead of Orlando for the 8 seed I think they make the playoffs. I have long been critical of the Bulls embracing mediocrity and still am, but at least this improvement is largely coming from young players and not Lavine and DeRozan pushing the team to near .500. They're nowhere close to being a contender, don't have many avenues for getting the pieces needed to be a contender, and this streak has extinguished almost all hope they can get Flagg or one of the other highly touted top 5 prospects. But horsefeathers at some point you have to allow yourself to enjoy sports and temporarily not let the long term outlook weigh you down. What this Bulls team is suddenly doing is legitimately fun, and we should treat it as such, while still acknowledging AKME kind of sucks and JR is a horrible cheapskate owner making the franchise one of the worst in sports. -
Correct on the technicality that no one knew at the time that the Cubs were slashing payroll by $30m this year.

I hate that I have to be so concerned that our 8th and 9th inning guys on full rest can’t hold a 3 run lead
-
Almost certainly a FC
-
well that was fortunate
-
I can’t believe I’m even entertaining this but PCA might be as fun of a baserunner as Javy.
-
Ugh and now we have to face Marte
-
And yet inevitably Happ will have a 2 for 18 week and the fanbase will treat him like a plague on mankind.

Ian Happ and Opening Day

Death, taxes and Suarez hurting the Cubs

Losing already I see

head of baseball operations really not pushing optimism heading into the season.

I'm still very mad at Arizona for derailing the 2023 season. And now I'm annoyed that they're denying us the chance to beating up on Burnes to start the season for a 3rd time.

Don't know if its worth discussing in its own thread but Jed did a Q&A with The Athletic and one of this quotes was that this Cubs team "doesn't have a lot of margin for error", which seems concerning because a) we're in year 5 of his 'retool not rebuild' and b) Our payroll dropped $20m from last year so Jed apparently wasn't able to reduce the Cubs margin of error except for the failed Bregman exception. Feel like Jed is just over this as his comments are getting more passive aggressive, but maybe I'm reading it wrong. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6226834/2025/03/26/chicago-cubs-president-jed-hoyer-interview/

29.3ppg over his last 13 games, and I think I saw he won EC POW the last 2 weeks? wtf is happening with the Bulls...been playing well long enough to take notice. -
Maybe we don't keep acquiring Astros relievers with concerning peripherals?

I miss when following the USMNT was fun

This crap goes out to Dan Bernstein, the self-proclaimed intellectual heavyweight, who spent decades calling out sports figures, media personalities, and even his own listeners for being thin-skinned and petty. All it took was one guy on Twitter calling you a liar about releasing a fish, and suddenly you morph from a media personality into internet tough guy. And then—because that wasn't unhinged enough—you decide to threaten the guy’s kids? Over a fish? A fish, Dan. You spent years telling people to lighten up, mocking fans for getting too emotional about their teams, and now you just lit your entire career on fire because someone on the internet called you a liar? Dan, you used to be the guy delivering these Who You Crappin’ rants—now you ARE the crap. So congrats, Bernstein. You went from debating sports to trying to dox a random Twitter user over a fish, all because your ego couldn’t take a hit. You weren’t exposing a fraud—you became one. And now, the only thing getting released is you from your job. Dan Bernstein, who you crappin’?

Completely justified firing. He's had plenty of chances to correct his troubling behavior and keeps doing stupid horsefeathers. That said, like you it sucks. He hasn't really been the same since Boers and Bernstein went off the air, but I've been listening to him for most of the 25 years he's been on the air. B&B was probably less PC than is acceptable, but it was still a wildly entertaining show IMO. But he hasn't been particularly likable since then and given how many times he's changed hosts and time slots, I think he was much more dispensable to the Score than he was 5-7 years ago.

When you piss off all 3 of the other countries remaining in the Nations League by threatening to annex them, you’re probably going to play a lot of motivated teams.
