  1. Suck it, Belgium. Nobody should feel badly about that red card being overturned.
  2. I think the Bulls might have landed themselves a couple of real studs in the draft. Give the new guy some space and let him cook.
  3. Curry, Lebron, Draymond, Yaxel, 'Zinger, AD....... Got some serious injury risks but this is probably their best chance to make one more run at it with Steph. This should be plenty entertaining, already can't wait for the season.
  4. I'm the only one brave enough to say it: Horse feather the Brewers!
  5. I would have, but am biased as an Illini fan. Last year Christian Braun got 5/$125 and I think Ayo is better. Make the call, Bob.
  6. I kind of wanted Carr but have really liked the tape of Swain. He plays with an edge and physicality, have seen some Jimmy Butler comps. PWill just doesn't have that dog in him like I think Swain does.
  7. I've seen reaction all over the place on this deal. I think Milwaukee made out pretty well; the Giannis thing has run its course. They won a championship, which is awesome for them, but haven't done anything since then and Giannis keeps getting hurt. This trade is basically a fresh start. Being a Bulls fan, I was hoping it would go terribly and continue to be drawn out, but they moved on pretty cleanly I think. Ryen Russillo especially trashed the deal from MKE's perspective. I think Giannis is going to like living in Miami but I don't see them as a contender unless they are able to add some serious talent, particularly some shooting.
  8. The Bulls have the chance to be serious with new leadership. Splitter is a very good hire.
  9. I think Boozer is going to be awesome. In fact I have seen him creeping up on draft boards; I think I'd take him over Peterson, not sure about over Wilson though. Thank god Kendall Gill isn't making this choice.
  10. I was listening to Bill Simmons' latest podcast and he suggested the Bulls should trade 4 and 15 to trade up with Memphis for 3. How about horsefeathers NO?! This all stems from Peterson maybe being difficult about going to Memphis, which certainly isn't Chicago's problem. There will be lots of good options at 15; ridiculous idea.
  11. There should be a space between Dansby and Shota. Pitchers don't hit anymore and this makes it look like he's in the lineup.
  12. I think Jed's job is extremely safe. He just signed a new contract, and the Cubs will win enough to stay in the Wild Cart hunt, which will be enough to keep butts in the seats. He's got his work cut out for him, though. Swanson and Bregman could be pretty rough for the next 3-4 years and the pitching staff is going to have to basically be rebuilt after this season. At least PCA appears to be the real deal.
  13. They've changed their name so it loses a little luster, but the Cleveland MLB franchise would be very significant.
  14. Splitter did a good job in Portland under a tough situation. I like this hire quite a bit.
  15. Happ is playing like a guy who wants a new contract. He can't be traded so maybe they should just sign him? I agree it's time for a fire sale; maybe they can talk Happ into agreeing to go to a contender in the last year of his deal.
