    I cannot stand gray on the Cubs hats. Why can't they do red and blue?
  2. UMFan83
    Actually nevermind, a more brilliant thing would be to put that gold thing on individual players that win a title, one for each one they've won. This way, its a new jersey every fan has to go out and buy every time the player wins the title. Because you don't want to be the loser rocking an MJ jersey with only 4 things on it. The NBA makes more money! Also the NBA is a team game with the most individualism in it, the players will love getting rewarded with a badge of honor that they wear the rest of their careers no matter where they go.

    I like it too, but I think it should only be titles won in the current city, and there should be one gold thing for each title won, making the Celtics look fugly for all of eternity (Lakers will look fine because it matches)

    the HR derby was last night edit: dammit, i was beaten to the HR derby joke already.
  5. UMFan83
    The only thing the HR Derby is good for is gambling pools. I won $50 with Cespedes last night!

    So if Schwarber hits well at Daytona in like the 15 games that won't get rained out is he set up to start 2015 at Tennessee?
  7. UMFan83
    And he moonlights as keeper for the US men's soccer team on the side
  8. UMFan83
    skin color?

    in a league that is increasingly obsessed with going small. Maybe this is GarPax recognizing this and creating matchup problems for teams that insist on going small.
  10. UMFan83
    Delayed response but that's pretty cool. So we're talking 61 years. I wonder if that's the largest...whatever you call this in baseball history Edit: OK brief searching, I found that Tommy John played one less season than Nolan Ryan, but his "footprint" (that's what I'm calling this) ONLY in terms of players he played with as teammates lasted from 1939 (Early Winn) to 2005 (Al Leiter)

    Or trade for a star with assets. The problem is our best assets right now are players like Butler, Taj, Mirotic and maybe McDermott. After this year Butler will probably be overpaid with his new deal, so his value goes way down. After this year Taj will be 30 so his value will never be as high as it is now. Mirotic has to play like a 5-6 mil player or better this year to be a good chip, but I'm not sure that's possible as a 4th big playing 15-20 min per night. Basically this was the offseason to cash in your trade chips for a star player and the Bulls didn't do it. They might be worth keeping, I'm not saying yet that its the wrong decision, but I think it might be awhile before we have the 'attractive pieces' component for a trade for a star.

    I think the guards are in general woefully thin. Gasol will help offensively overall, but we still don't have a wing that can score other than Rose. And not that Deng was a great offensive wing, but he was better at creating than Dunleavy. Jury is out on Doug, but as a rookie I don't expect him to be much of a shot creator either. Rose/Hinrich Butler/Snell Dunleavy/McDermott Gibson/Mirotic/Randolph Noah/Gasol/Bairstow My hope is that Mirotic proves to be a solid contributor and someone like Taj is expendable for a wing scorer
  13. UMFan83
    yeah but I think we had to renounce all of that stuff so that we could use the BLE
  14. UMFan83
    I get the distinct feeling 2022 may not really be in Qatar. I was going to say, why would they play games in the middle of the night local time for the upcoming USA World Cup
  15. UMFan83
    I agree with the negativity. We got better but we are no closer to winning a championship than we were in April.
  16. UMFan83
    What the fudge? Almost 6 mil per year?
  17. UMFan83
    And Kirk resigns
  18. UMFan83
    love how Bryant's AB coincides exactly with the end of the freaking World Cup Final that I've been watching for 2.5 hours
  19. UMFan83
    Glad someone scored. Didn't/don't want this to end in PKs
  20. UMFan83
    Stupid other teams prospects not getting on base for Bryant in the 1st
  21. UMFan83
    A year ago Travis wood was an all star
  22. UMFan83
    how much is that exemption? 2.5 mil? As I understand it, unless they sign and trade Boozer the Bulls won't get the full MLE right? I'm assuming the Bulls are more likely to bring back Hinrich over DJ because they have Hinrich's bird rights, but not DJs? Or do they have neither because Hinrich only had a 2 year deal?
  23. UMFan83
    So is this what the depth chart is looking like? Rose/Hinrich (maybe) Butler/Snell Dunleavy/McDermot Gibson/Gasol/Mirotic/Smith/Randolph Noah
  24. UMFan83
    No Baez, Bryant, Soler and Alcantara is with the big club = quiet game thread
  25. UMFan83
    This seems like a 58 win season and 5 game loss to Lebron. That will be 5/6 in the last 6 years. We basically need Mcdemott to be klay Thompson and Mirotic to be prime Toni kukoc instead of omri casspi and Rudy Fernandez. In LeBrons 11 seasons the Bulls have only played longer into the season than him one time (04-05) and that was because the Cavs lost a tiebreaker for the 8 seed so they didn't lose in the first round like Bulls. In the next 9 seasons Lebron has played at least a round later in the playoffs
