I hope another team gives him a job before the Cubs. I would love to root for that team unless it was the Cardinals or White Sox.

My personal opinion is that I would be all over this idea. This would mostly make up for trading DeRosa too in my opinion as we upgrade significantly in defense with Hudson. I am all about this move if we can get him cheaply.

Now I know how the Oilers feel when they play us...

How is it for the best? So we can pick Chase Budinger next June? Yay?

Ugh, DePaul, Michigan, Bulls, Blackhawks all losers tonight. I feel like a huge loser for watching/following all of their games

Wait what the hell, we aren't supposed to lose in canada?!

That's an interesting thought. It's possible.

Why didn't Rich Hill just rest the lower back injury for a period of time/the season then? I'm sure a fair share of major league starters suffer lower back injuries in their careers, but I never see any pitchers completely lose their command and start hitting batters and consistently being unable to command any of their pitches. Either the Cubs mishandled him, or he has issues beyond a lower back injury.

Really annoying to be looking forward to watching a bunch of old games today and having full day coverage of ARod/Steroids. I get it he did steroids. It almost seems like MLB Network is overcovering it to prove that they will provide coverage of negative events and not just ones that make the MLB look better.

I don't know about that. Actually what I mean to say is that I do know about that. It's wrong. I'm not saying Amare is a bad player, he's definitely a star and more talented currently than anyone on the Bulls, but people that are making him out to be one of the top few players in the league is wrong. He's a talented scorer no doubt, but he's not a complete player. His defense is worse than Drew Gooden's.

More Obviously nothing earth shattering

He just did......

I know, I had the same thing last night, wanting to watch the 2001 WS Highlights. I thought the Carribean Series game was fun to watch though.

I just think it's ridiculous that between January 21 and February 21, the Blackhawks have one home game (feb 14)

I agree, but its been almost 4 years, we have to get over MVP. The Show is an awesome game and I've accepted it into my life after much trepidation.

I just saw the score. I honestly can't believe Michigan won. Michigan figured out that if you completely lock down the arc, PSU only has one scoring option left. Apparently they took a page out of their opponents playbook, except instead of one scoring option left, Michigan has no scoring options left.

It might clearly be better, but is it going to win a championship this year? No. If we don't trade Hinrich, we ignore our biggest trade chip and don't improve the team. I mean the Suns are clearly better with Amare on the floor. Why are they trading him? Because they feel long term they can be in a better position. This Bulls team is not built to win short-term, so as far as I'm concerned, anyone but Rose is available.

Overweight guy known best for his pinch hitting roles, yep this sounds like Lenny Harris all over again. He'll get way too many starts this year.

Marmol and I think Zambrano

Michigan will lose. Again. Rather than predict whether or not Michigan will win, its more enjoyable to predict their 3 point shooting percentage for the game. I'll go with 8-34

you're losing bad. You're right and we should all bow down to IMB!. His name is IBM, get it right

Both

The Bulls are playing really well lately, on the road no less...but I'm not going to get excited just yet. We've seen flashes of brilliance before from these guys. They do seem like they are having more fun out there though.
