  1. Who the [expletive] is Matt Abbatacola? Shouldnt Joel Sherman or one of the other NY guys be all over this? Were you asking sarcastically or seriously? He's a 670 the Score Producer and sometimes host
  2. I definitely liked the first one better but whatever.
  3. I think they were too. My guess is they are changing things because they aren't going to get the construction done on time for opening day.
  4. "get the feeling" "huntch" I hate reporting in the internet age
  5. Holy crap this is awesome http://rabbithole.deadspin.com/the-time-manute-bol-hit-six-three-pointers-in-a-half-1666189871
  6. I'm grabbing lunch at this bar and they for some reason have the MLB network playing on the TV. At the top of their broadcast they have tweets scroll across the screen. I didn't know this and when one person said "@JLester31 will sign with the Cardinals for 6 years $140 mil" I nearly had a heart attack before realizing it was just some idiot Cardinals fan
  7. sorting offers? how long could that possibly take? a couple of hours?
  8. Either way thanks for sharing as you continue to get mocked. I hope you're right.
  9. It seems like whenever we are involved with something and Boston is also involved, it seems like all the news and rumors are coming from the Boston side.
  10. I don't know, but this dude hosts a spanish language sports talk show in Boston it looks like. That tweet was actually posted as a translation of his first tweet that was in spanish Here's more nonsense that he just tweeted a minute ago:
  11. Some radio show co-host in Boston: A lot of smoke this morning...or is it everyone rehashing a false rumor and spinning it as their own reporting?
  12. Because I love lists, Keri on Grantland is doing the top 50 trade value on Grantland. Part one: http://grantland.com/features/2014-mlb-trade-value-rankings-part-1/ Cubs on the list so far: HM: Addison Russell HM: Javier Baez 44. Jorge Soler Part 2 is tomorrow, expect to see Rizzo and Bryant on there. Probably Castro too?
  13. Any of the PSD guys posting rumors? I'm with you guys, I'll take some made up rumors favorable to the Cubs at this point
  14. Yeah I agree I liked the RF placement the way it was. As for removing the sign in LF, I don't care except less revenue.
  15. If he can't or refuses to drive to the rim, he's a decent role player at best the rest of his career. I get the being smart thing but being smart is not jacking up 3s. Where is the midrange game? In Roses MVP season and the season before he was lethal at hitting midrange jumpers. He could create space and hit the open shot. He played like a player 4 inches taller than he is because he could create that space. But tonight he was absolutely not a shot creator. His shots came off screens and ball movement.
  16. That's the other thing. You have Butler in the game who sneezes and gets to the line and instead we have Rose jacking up contested 3s. The offense should be running through Butler (and Pau) until Rose can play at that level. I'm probably overreacting a little because it's a somewhat meaningless game and the more important thing is getting Rose reps in crunch time minutes...but he just didn't have it tonight. At all. Gotta change things up a bit.
  17. That's about as angry as I can be at a regular season December loss. Wanted that one badly. Rose looks like a decent role player. No explosiveness at all. You'd think if he could get to the bucket he would have done so at least once in the 4th and OTs. But he didn't, he either drove to the FT line and looked for Pau to bail him out or settled for a bad 3. Maybe it's the hammy bothering him but if that's the case Brooks should have been out there because he could have given more than Derrick did. I know he made the miracle 3 but that doesn't erase 15 minutes of mostly ineffective play.
  18. Rose looks terrible tonight. Slow and bad
  19. 5-0 lol
  20. There's no way that an undefeated FSU could possibly drop out of the top 4 with an ugly win vs GT right? Beating GT is probably better win than Wisconsin and Kansas State right? I applaud the committee for not just automatically placing the only Power 5 undefeated team at 1 though.
  21. eh, this recruiting class is completely fubar anyway, though; it's at 7 verbals right now and like 3 are solid UM decommits so far (247 composite rank): Damien Harris (33) George Campbell (36) Mike Weber (101) Darian Roseboro (106) Shaun Crawford (119) Garrett Taylor (123) Darrin Kirkland (178) Chris Clark (80), Tyree Kinnel (181) seem liable to jump ship at any moment and Brian Cole (61) isn't any lock to stay Chris Clark did indeed jump ship.
  22. Yeah I posted a "report" from that same twitter handle revealing that a team was going to make a 6/$144m offer to Lester.
