    I was going to dispute you, but then I realized you must have dyslexia and just screwed up the names. Rondo is a better passer, rebounder, and defender. Their slashing abilities are almost a wash, although Rose probably does have a slight advantage. And, Derek has a big advantage in the mid-range game. I wouldn't say it is by a large margin, but I'd give it to Rondo for now. It's OK man. Everyone will understand if you just admit your little "problem."

    This team is detrimental to my overall mental health.

    what about the tommie harris incident? They'll get over it. Plus if he's playing LG, he won't have to deal w/ Tommie directly in practice....I don't know. Hayes blogged that Justin Smiley might be another possibility: http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2010/04/bears_have_other_options_at_gu.html

    Where's that bottle of Black Label.

    MY GOD, they just dropped 2/3 to the Washington Nationals.

    I hate feeling like our starter can't give up 3 runs or it isn't good enough. Good Lord start getting some damn runs you fools.
  8. Soul
    It's failures like that which make me understand why word around the league is to not panic against the Cubs no matter what -- just let the Cubs defeat themselves. They usually do.
  9. Soul
    Hard to believe the level of failure with bases loaded from this damn club.

    But right now he is. No. At best Rose .v. Rondo is a tossup. Give Rose, Johnson and Bosh to run with and we will see if Rose .v. Rondo is even a debate. Right now, if Rondo has an advantage it is slight. Just looking at the stat line between the two, I don't see how it would be clear at all that Rondo is better than Rose, even currently. Certainly potential is on Rose's side.

    If Silva continues to perform, then it becomes a rather large feather in Larry's cap, I would think.

    I think off the court Rose is a wuss, but he's been a beast on the court. Showing a lot more emotion and leadership on the court than last year. No he's not a cocky jackass or anything, or a player who thinks every foul against him is a crime against humanity, but he's got court swagger. Not enough. Women & Weed. Get him some of both. That'll fix him.
  13. Soul
    I don't mind the moves they've made, other than killing their own chances to get something in return for Brown.
  14. Soul
    I know. I love it.

    Hmmm interesting. I'd rather keep him and let him, Afalava, and Harris battle for a starting spot, but he does look like the #3 to me at this point, so if we took Bullocks instead it wouldn't be a huge deal. I'd probably keep Payne. He's probably the best FS on the roster at this point (I know, not saying much), not knowing what Major Wright will do. But even if you figure Harris and Wright as starters, Payne would be the first likely to get time at FS and would at least be in the mix w/ Afalava at SS. I figured Bullocks and Steltz were in trouble w/ an outside shot you could find a trade partner for Danieal Manning. Yeah, what the hell. Payne is lower on the depth chart than Steltz and Bullocks? How is that?

    He really must have. I was hoping the Vikings would look at him for RG but they had no interest. Neither did the Bears, neither did the vast majority of the league. I pretty much only watched the Jets in the playoffs last year and while their o-line in general was very good, I never really focused in on him enough to tell. Angelo publicly said that he had interest in Faneca. I heard him say that too, but I think history has shown that Angelo doesn't necessarily say publicly what he's really thinking/doing behind the scenes.
  17. Soul
    Took him far too long to compile his "Cub Report" and get ready for his debrief. I expect the Cards to quietly punish their little agent.
  18. Soul
    Whew. Such a relief to not need to worry about that guy anymore.
  19. Soul
    Wha?? The Hawks finished with 112 points and the Canucks finished with 103 points...or do you mean that they had the same number of points when you take out shootout wins? Which is a really weird stat. Hawks had a better regular season, but not by too much. I do think they are a good match for us in the playoffs. It should be a hell of a series. I like playing these guys. If we can beat them again, I think it bodes very well for us in the conference finals. I also love the homerism that comes out of Vancouver. They make me laugh.

    I believe it was Kesler who said in the papers that he was not going fall for the temptation to fight with Ladd, then took about 10 seconds before seeking him out to get into a fight. So yeah, we'll see how serious the Canucks are about not being too emotional. Talk is cheap.
  21. Soul
    Yeah, Harris was decent. He seemed to show more with Carolina too. At the time we operated under the delusion that Archuleta was a good fit for Lovie's D, and that his problems with Washington were because he went to a system that didn't fit him. That was clearly wrong, in hindsight.......as was the release of Harris. I understand what Lovie & Angelo were trying to do, but it was clearly a miss.

    Anderson is pretty good, but their color guy is a shameless excuse maker/apologist, plus he sounds like he is always talking with his mouth full. Their color guy is Bill Schroeder. I don't find him to be particularly shameless when compared to others. Actually is quite complimentary to the Cubs when they do something good. I really don't mind needing to watch the Crew's broadcast when the Cubs play them.

    Beat the Natties!
  24. Soul
    In that case 2010 looks to be like most every year.

    I choose to believe Ramirez has just woken up, as evidenced by last night's performance. I'll wait to be proven otherwise. Lee? Hopefully soon. I have no reason to believe he won't get it going. In the meantime there have been plenty of good things happening in our lineup with other players. I'm encouraged.
