    Also this move pretty much locks Rizzo in as the Cubs all star this year doesn't it?

    I don't see Russell up in the first half 2015. He's a high school bat with 158 professional games and missed a large chunk of this season due to injury. I would think with the Cubs patient approach they would keep him in AA/AAA until they believe he's ready. 2014-2015 wave: Baez, Bryant, Alcantara 2016 wave: Russell, Schwarber? (If he follows Bryant timeline) 2017 wave: Soler (maybe 2016 if healthy and productive), Almora, McKinney Not including pitchers obviously

    Great pic: As it should be: teammates picking up real life after the end of hostilities. That's awesome. I love Everton.
  4. UMFan83
    Ruggiano making a late push for trade value?
  5. UMFan83
    I really hate that this team is going to be broken up in a couple of weeks.
  6. UMFan83
    Agreed. IMO they should be prepared to gut the team if they have to. Get Rose, Noah and Love together and figure out the rest later
  7. UMFan83
    Signed? Not many but superstars like Wilt, Kareem, Gasol and Howard have been forcing themselves to LA for years. I can only think of a few established superstars in their prime that have switched teams via FA over the last 20 years. Shaq in 96 (LAL), Grant Hill in 00 (ORL), Lebron and Bosh in 10 (MIA) and Howard in 13 (HOU). I'm sure I'm missing a couple though.

    stolen from like a million people on twitter, but how incredible would it be if it turned out lebron tricked wade into opting out for no reason and the heat didn't even make him a realistic offer? I'd rather that be true than have Melo sign with the Bulls
  9. UMFan83
    So would jordan have had double the endorsements in LA or NY?

    Based on? Other than the rampant (and I'm not saying it's not justified or justifiable) belief/speculation that he won't turn down the additional money? Basically I'm asking if there's some sourced report you're basing it on? Half listening to ESPN I thought they said something like that but upon looking at realgm just speculation
  12. UMFan83
    Knicks are flying to LA tonight to meet with Melo and try to get a decision from him ASAP. Sounds like they expect to resign him.
  13. UMFan83
    How would that lineup work? LeBron as a point forward, Kobe at SG, Melo playing the traditional SF?
  14. UMFan83
    [expletive] hilarious and potentially big news http://my.chicagotribune.com/#story/chi-rooftop-owners-agree-not-to-sue-cubs-if-only-2-signs-20140703/ At this point I think they know the Cubs will win and should push forward with the 7 signs
  15. UMFan83
    I find it sad that Tim Howard has gone viral the exact moment his career in tournaments casual American fans care about ends. But it is kind of cool that he is the talk of the country at the moment.
  16. UMFan83
    What do you mean "some"? The whole point is that it's the 4th in the capital. That's what the Nationals do. I didn't know that was a tradition to play at 11AM on the 4th in Washington
  17. UMFan83
    At first I thought the game was today and was wonder how the hell they could schedule a 10:05 am start after a night game at the place where time stands still. Still weird that its a friday morning game, but I guess its the 4th so it makes some sense.
  18. UMFan83
    And here I thought a career game for Barney was 2-5 with no Ks
  19. UMFan83
    2 shitty teams sandwich a World Series win. Man Boston Strong is powerful
  20. UMFan83
    My baseless speculation: Melo said he wants to come here, but wants more than $15m, Bulls have to trade Taj, Bulls trying to get Gasol for MLE. I definitely don't think he would sign for MLE but whatever.
  21. UMFan83
    So that was Hendry's last draft and the one draft we were allowed to go nuts with spending before the CBA changes. And it got us the one superduper prospect that we would have gotten even without financial freedom (at least in terms of top 32 players from the draft and of course acknowledging that is still time for players to grow)
  22. UMFan83
    Oh no, they stole our idea
  23. UMFan83
    it sucks we lost but: Awesome turnout. I really wish we could find a way to carry that mainstream passion into the "lesser" events like Copa America, the Olympics, Gold Cup, Confederations Cup (assuming we get there), MLS, etc.
  24. UMFan83
    funny thing is we always play well before the deadline. Sucks because although you know its the right thing to trade off guys, it sucks doing it when you are playing well.
  25. UMFan83
    Kane County won :)
