    stfu and let us do whatever we want rays, we haven't won the world series in 106 years...we should be given first dibs on all managers/players and spotted 10 games in the standings every year.

    Butler has slid two years in a row, not sure how much bounce back he has in him. Rumors on sports radio here is they are listening on Gordon, Hosmer, and Moustakas. Would love to get Gordon, but imagine they rightfully have a high value on him. Mooose tacos isn't very good and hosmer is ok, but i can't imagine they'll get much of a haul for him. I still think Hosmer is more like the 2013 version than the 2014 version. The 2013 Hosmer is not bad.

    Good riddance.

    I'd be really concerned about where this leaves Renteria, especially in the eyes of the players. Meh, they will get over it. Theo would explain that they love Ricky, but they had a chance to get one of the highest regarded managers in baseball and went for it. They might have to put their money where their mouth is and extend Ricky for an extra year or two though.

    Taking a page out of the Red Sox playbook, the Hawks were drinking beer and eating fried chicken during the second intermission. Was Q popping vicodins?

    Hawks win but that was a bit of an ugly one.

    Ok that's a Brian Roberts update.

    many reports of a white-haired gentleman with black glasses at starbucks. http://www.scrubbles.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/tee_fantagrape.jpg

    Really impressed with the Bulls last night. I know its only the Knicks, but damn did they make it look easy. Rose and Noah only play just over 20 minutes and you are winning by 35 on the road in the 4th quarter? Awesome. Looking forward to a nice challenge against the Cavs tomorrow. Cavs will be on a back to back and playing in Chicago, so hopefully that offsets Jimmy being out...Dunleavy did a fine job on Anthony, but I'm less confident in his ability to defend LeBron.

    Maybe you should stick to football quit Hub

    http://www.bleachernation.com/2014/10/29/away-we-go-chicago-cubs-reportedly-set-to-hire-joe-maddon/ lol, Brett edited it to: I guess his "sources" changed their tune once his other "sources" on Twitter say it wasn't quite done yet. For what it's worth, that edit was to clarify that I was using "done deal" colloquially, not as synonymous with "official" (the edit happened within minutes - I was typing the original post very quickly and trying to think very quickly). I didn't want folks to think this was being "announced" by the Cubs on the day of Game 7. The rest of the post probably made that clear, but I wanted to make absolutely certain since sometimes isolated sections of posts are snipped out for discussion. EDIT: What I mean is, I don't think that was a substantive edit. That's what the updates are. I added a note to the intro on the post to indicate there have been edits. Thanks for clarifying Brett

    I really hope the Cubs can retain Bosio

    Basically 'we're not confirming until after the World Series'
  17. UMFan83
  18. UMFan83
    Well that's good news. Hopefully someone else reports it soon.
  19. UMFan83
    1? Come on Minnesota

    I think after the first couple of games, we have a pretty soft schedule to start the year. Definitely can hold the fort down until Butler comes back. I'm just disappointed because I really want Butler and Rose to get comfortable playing with each other. The last time Rose was really playing (minus the 10 games last year) Butler was a rookie who barely played. Yeah definitely pretty soft. Here is the pre-West Coast trip schedule: @ NY vs. CLE @ MIN vs. ORL @ MIL @ PHI vs. BOS vs. DET @ TOR vs. IND

    Not worried in the slightest. It's a long season...
  22. UMFan83
    That ratio is going down tonight

    I know those SEC teams are going to beat up on each other but LOL

    Let me just say that I love Caris Levert and I think he's primed to take a leap, but I'm surprised at how much the national media has picked up on it. #9 player in college basketball ahead of guys like Aaron Harrison, Selden, Tyus Jones, Staten and Moore? Not bad for a lightly regarded 3* guy out of high school

    So, you want him to do what no GM in professional sports has ever done and throw his coaches, players and self under the bus for your amusement? Good luck with that. this was my favorite of the responses. but cubbievirus's was pretty good too
