    Just noticed PTR has his TV plugged into an extension cord that leads outside. Hilarious

    or that Jackson thought that he could run the triangle through a player who hates passing the ball Uh....didn't he run the triangle with Kobe? And win several championships doing so? The Lakers had Gasol, who was great at passing out of the triangle, while the Knicks don't have the prerequisite "big man who can pass" And the Knicks will have cap space this offseason and reportedly are going after Marc Gasol, who I believe has a similar ability to pass as his brother. I think that was Phil's plan...Melo = Kobe, Marc Gasol = Pau

    Noah was already ruled out I believe I heard. Not sure about McDermott but he's missed at least 2 weeks already.

    So Kromer has to be gone. No way he can rebuild trust with this team. Tucker is almost certainly to be gone as per rumors. No buzz about DeCamilis but come on the guy doesn't deserve to keep his job. So I ask this: how many times has a head coach canned their coordinators of all 3 units and still kept their job?
  5. UMFan83
    As opposed to what option? Do you get regular WGN (not WGNA) in Bloomington?
  6. UMFan83
    Amazing that Kromer managed to make Jay Cutler a sympathetic figure nationally

    I have to admit, usually when you try to recreate genius, for a 3rd time no less, it ends up disappointing. Absolutely not the case here. All hail to our new tree overlord

    I agree with Bernstein. The McKaskeys are frugal and very slow to make changes, but they don't stand for their organization being embarrassed like this off the field. This is just one glaring case of a woefully overmatched coaching staff.

    Sac fly to deep left center. Oh, then he must have had 5 PA, or the tweet I read was incorrect

    Javy must have grounded out in his last AB because he finished 0-4 with an RBI
  12. UMFan83
    So Toews might have a concussion? Is that what I'm reading?
  13. UMFan83
    Javy struck out in his 3rd AB too... 0-3 3K Is he shaking off rust, working on something or just broken?

    Way to bring a room down. We needed that. Then I won't even mention what he did in his second AB... lol...all you can do is laugh and hope it gets better

    It looks like Alvarez is going to coach the Badgers again in their bowl game. It must be nice for him to get to coach a game again every couple of years.
  17. UMFan83
    I have been waiting for that. This is a franchise changing acquisition that had many twists and turns...deserves to be immortalized with Nomar and Theo.
  18. UMFan83
    See, a respected media guy from Boston knows what it's called
  19. UMFan83
    that leaves what 25 games unaccounted for? WCIU? CSN+? FOX?

    lol I think most of us heard the song, it was played pretty heavily on Chicago radio in Sept/early Oct 2008, as well as played between innings at Wrigley that year after its release. Decent song but that depressing feel of the song really fit better after the Cubs playoff collapse

    So they traded Lester for Porcello. Obviously not as simple as that due to contacts and future value but interesting.

    I was trying to argue with a Sox fan yesterday (first problem) that in ranking the city's starters, Arrieta should be higher than Quintana, and in trying to argue that I found out that Arrieta's FIP (2.26) was second in all of baseball (min 150 innings) behind only Kershaw. Even xFIP (2.73) has him 5th in baseball, tied with Grienke and trailing only Kershaw, Felix Hernandez, Strasburg and Kluber. Not much to add, I just didn't realize he was even that much better than his ERA, which the Sox fan was arguing was a fluke and unsustainable. I might even have an argument that Arrieta should be 3rd ahead of Shark, behind Lester and Sale. Edit: The top 5 starters in the city by FIP 1. Arrieta 2.26 2. Sale 2.57 3. Lester 2.80 4. Quintana 2.81 5. Samardzija 3.20 By xFIP 1. Arrieta 2.73 2. Sale 2.83 3. Samardzija 3.07 4. Lester 3.10 5. Quintana 3.37

    is this intended as hyperbole? it's dead wrong Yeah hyperbole
  25. UMFan83
    Yes because Harper is so valuable the Nats wouldn't even accept a Bryant/Russell/Soler package.
