    Dammit Bruce. I really liked you

    Well he just tweeted links to his previews

    Yup, I just noticed that. Barnwell didn't do a picks column weeks 1-3. His first picks column in week 4 was the first Friday that Simmons was suspended and has done one each week since. And yeah I'm almost positive the videos posted so far were pre-suspension. Actually I read somewhere that an unknown number were shot before the suspension, and I think Bill and Jalen have been wearing the same clothes in each video so looks like they were all shot pre-suspension. If there's no guess the lines podcast on Monday, the next big date to look out for is Tuesday October 21st when supposedly the Grantland Basketball Show will premier

    To keep the asbestos down..PTR didn't pay for proper abatement, so they're doing it old school. Edit...damn, just saw Jerseys comment Actually, the Tribune Co had the asbestos removed years ago, however PTR had it reinstalled when it was the only insulating material he could afford.

    He's the absolute worst. Never have I despised one of my team's announcers more than I do with King. He's a hype man. He's harmless fun for me. Yeah wtf. I always thought King was one of those guys who you love if he's calling for your team, and hate if he's another team's announcer. I don't understand why people hate excitement and homerism from your basketball announcer. And the homerism isn't event Hawk like biased homerism, its just him getting overly excited about the Bulls doing well.

    Of course, it was fun mostly because Thibs had the starters in and Atlanta was using D-leaguers for the whole 4th quarter. There was no reason for starters to be there aside from Thibs being psycho and having priorities out of whack. Oh absolutely. It was insanity from Thibs, but the crowd and team were into it enough, I was able to just soak it in and enjoy it fully. True story, there's an ESPN Chicago article that asserted the entire takeaway from last night was Thibs doesn't trust Rose in crunch time since he wasn't out there with the rest of the starters. Pure bonkers. Also, Stacey King is as crazy as Thibs. That is crazy, however i would like to see Rose get more minutes in the last 3 preseason games including 4th quarter minutes.

    Nothing besides those from him, though. I'm assuming there will be a column this afternoon? Wonder if he apologizes and goes about his business normally or just doesn't say anything and mails it in until his contract is up next year? I'm guessing the latter. I think he will end his twitter silence after his first column goes up, but will only post links to his columns, podcasts, other grantland articles with no commentary. He will scale back heavily on columns and podcasts with his Grantland Basketball Show being the excuse and then leave when his contract is up. He will never address the suspension publicly. When he's been suspended from twitter on the past, I believe he's come back heavily sterilized (just posting links to his content) for a period of time before slowly regaining a twitter personality.

    Crazy that so far we've seen 3 sweeps and 3 series where the losing team wins once. Individual games have been packed with drama, the series as a whole have not.

    Joe buck steals "and the giants win the pennant" call. [expletive] the cardinals your reign of terror is over.

    Jimmy g buckets wants that dough

    Patriots are like 100-0 when they lose a game. Should I be rooting for NE
  17. UMFan83
    This is some terrible voice acting:

    the irony is so far they're really mainly leveling one of the newest parts of the park I know. I feel like I could be looking at pictures from 2006. How is the infrastructure from the main stands being "modernized" from this rennovation? I doing remember seeing anything about them tearing up the grandstands and fixing structural issues, but I could be mistaken.

    I vaguely remember Sosa hitting a towering fly ball to about straight away CF either to end the game or in the 9th inning of one of the games they lost. It either would have tied it or won the game (can't remember if men were on base). I think it was off Schmoltz as well. Can anyone confirm that this happened or am I dreaming this up? For some reason Baez hitting that towering fly off Chapman this year reminded me of this Sosa moment this year that I had long since forgotten. Yeah, game 4, he represented the tying run. It's a real damn shame there is no way to re-watch old playoff series other than the last few years. How does the MLB benefit from hording that stuff?

    Yay Giants! *heads to best fans in baseball twitter page*

    Completely destroy Calgary and lose. At least we got a point. These types of games will happen over the course of a season.
  22. UMFan83
    Damn that was pretty close. Glad they counted it
  23. UMFan83
    7 penalties for Calgary vs 1 for Chicago lol
  24. UMFan83
    There we go. Get enough power plays and eventually we will score
  25. UMFan83
    Carcillo really blew a point blank shot attempt early in the first. At the time I figured whatever but now we could really use that goal.
