Playoffs predictions: Mavs over Warriors in 5 Suns over Lakers in 5 Spurs over Nuggets in 6 Rockets over Jazz in 7 Pistons over Magic in 4 Cavs over Wizards in 4 Raptors over Nets in 7 Heat over Bulls in 6 Conference Semis: Mavs over Rockets in 6 Suns over Spurs in 6 Pistons over Heat in 6 Raptors over Cavs in 6 Conference Finals: Mavs over Suns in 7 Pistons over Raptors in 6 NBA Finals: Mavs over Pistons in 5

    We're screwed Wow, Hinrich, you idiot. Why? Because he supposedly said that they can beat the Heat in a 7 game series? Would you rather him say we have no chance? Besides, it's not like the Heat weren't going to give 100% effort in the series, anyways. Hinrich said his quote before last nights game when the Bulls were locked into the 2 seed. It was kinda weird when I read it, almost like the Bulls were aiming to play the Heat. Well now they have their wish. Some of the quotes: Hinrich: Nocioni: Remember, these quotes were made before the NJ game. So you want Hinrich and Noc to just shut up when the reporters ask about the Heat. Heat - Bulls is a much sexier match up than Nets/Wizards/Magic - Bulls. And if Wade or Shaq got trash talking from what Hinrich or Noc said, I don't know how either passed 3 years of college. Well no, obviously they asked them direct questions about the Heat. I'd prefer an answer that shows focus and determination like "We are only worried about beating New Jersey and clinching the 2 seed. We will worry about the Heat if we match up against them"

    With a 9th inning bases loaded nobody out threat, only to hit into a triple play. The triple play shall unfold thusly: Matt Murton is on 3rd base, Derrek Lee on 2nd, and A-Ram on 1st. Jacque Jones at bat. Closer Bob Wickman uncorks a wild pitch to the back stop. Murton panics or a second before stumbling towards home, where he is tagged out by 10 feet. In the mean time, Lee attempts to take third and Ramirez second, but Lee gets caught in a run down, and both Derrek and Aramis end up standing on second, where Lee is tagged out. Thinking the ballgame is over, Ramirez starts trotting back to the dugout where he is tagged for the third out. After this play, NSBB posters will blame Jacque for the loss Post of the week/month/season so far

    We're screwed

    I don't think the conclusion that 98navigator made was that crazy. Its the same thing I thought of when I read the article. I'm sure Soriano didn't mean any harm, and Pie is his buddy, but its kinda weird to volunteer to push a player out of the starting lineup. Imagine if Mark DeRosa said "Hey, I love that Eric Patterson kid, I'll gladly move to 3B so he can play everyday"
  8. UMFan83
    Cedeno and Ohman should goto AAA, with Guzman coming back up
  9. UMFan83
    If Pie goes yard to win it, hes going to be the most hyped positional Cub since Tuffy Rhodes in '94
  10. UMFan83
    From the most accurate and reliable of sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Avenue_(Chicago)
  11. UMFan83
    No but he's not the star that everyone is envisioning Pie at eventually be. (of course its only Granderson's second year)
  12. UMFan83
    So when will Jones be leaving us?
  13. UMFan83
    On Comcast, they claimed that Soriano himself said he'd be out 5-7 days unless the MRI confirmed something worse. I don't know how accurate that is since he is not a doctor, but its something worth mentioning..
  14. UMFan83
    When i saw that hit, i was like what the heck is that going to be....its been so long since ive seen a HR i forgot what it looked like
  15. UMFan83
    Is it wrong for me to want the Bulls to play the Nets in round 1 so that my Game 5 tickets mean something? If they play the Wizards, its going to be a sweep. If we play the Nets, we will win in 5 probably.
  16. UMFan83
    Good thing I traded Ben Sheets and Matt Holliday for Chris Carpenter and BJ Ryan before the season started.
  17. UMFan83
    Should have sent Soriano to test Freels arm
  18. UMFan83
    What a wasted opportunity so far. Derrek is starting to scare me with his lack of HR power. Also, I am all about patience, but in that situation, you have to be a little more agressive..
  19. UMFan83
    If true, then trade him. I am a Cubs fan first, but I am also a big Matt Murton fan and want to see him prosper somewhere..
  20. UMFan83
    Don't you ever want him to come back?
  21. UMFan83
    The only positive with Sori is that even when he is sucking, he already has 5 doubles in 9 games. And yet his OPS is .528 heading into today. He has a hit in every game I think, which is weird because of his pathetic AVG and OBP.
  22. UMFan83
    Finally, holding people and himself accountable. I was starting to think he really was Dusty Baker
  23. UMFan83
    I knew the Floyd signing was a bad thing from day 1. Please anyone who thinks Floyd should be starting look at Murton's second half stats last year. This team is not going to win the World Series, so why clog up our positions with veterans that have no future with the team while up and coming players rot away on the bench.
  24. UMFan83
    This is why I figured that we'd suck. This team feels like a continuation of 2006 to me until further notice.
  25. UMFan83
    :roll: Yeah sarcasm implied seeing as how I wrote it like that. However, it didnt take me 2 weeks to figure out it was a terrible signing. I said it the moment it happened. Why we gave $136 million to a guy with a career .835 OPS I will never know
