  2. horsefeathering trade for samardzija already
  3. i remember about the time theo got hired and those first couple tank years, there were a lot of posters here saying they just didn't think they liked baseball anymore i thought they were insane
  4. [tweet] [/tweet]
  5. so i'm guessing almora was too slow to even register w/the statcast equipment
  6. i've been in wake me up when the playoffs come mode all year that doesn't mean 100% not invested in the reg season but it has made it really hard for any of this to bother me all that much I can't get in wake me up when the playoffs come mode when they've been in second places for most of the season but it is hard for me to get too angry about the season since I live out of market now and haven't been able to watch in a damn month. i just have no concern whatsoever that they won't win this division so that is basically irrelevant to me once it became obvious that they wouldn't win 110 games or something this year, i cared even less. it's like ok fine, go win 92 or something and wake me up for the nlds
  7. yeah, but that's good. it means the world series didn't make cubs baseball. the season after the blackhawks won their first cup, i found it really hard to be invested. i haven't really felt that way about the cubs at all. i've been in wake me up when the playoffs come mode all year that doesn't mean 100% not invested in the reg season but it has made it really hard for any of this to bother me all that much
  8. I don't understand how Paxson could possibly be signing off on these things. He wasn't a complete idiot before Forman came around. How is this complete incompetence happening?
  9. Jimmy is a top 10-15 player in the league, one of the 5 or so best players to ever put on a Bulls uniform, and the best Bull since MJ and Pippen. Our sorry ass front office, who you admit is terrible and needs to go, just traded him for a pile of flaming garbage, and your like "cool guess we overvalued him. But what a breath of fresh air this is." This is so bizarre I can barely handle it. Come on, the package isn't great. But, its not a flaming pile of garbage. If it PROVES to be, then fine. But, its not right now. There's possibilities with them. And as much as I hate Rose, he won a horsefeathering MVP. Jimmy is NOT the best Bull since Mike and Scottie. The one thing I honestly don't get is standing pat with being .500. I'd much prefer trying to be great than being average. This gets us on an actual path. Probably won't work with these guys running the show, but its better than running the risk of getting even less for him later. it is absolutely a flaming pile of garbage they got two garbage ass players and a horsefeathering pick swap
  10. This I'll actually debate, without conceding I'm auto-wrong lol. We very well MAY have overvalued Jimmy. Again, my honest guess is we chose the wrong deal to accept. But, at mid season, or after the season, I honestly doubt we'd have received THIS much. And I'm OK with moving him now, instead of another middling, at best year. if that was the best package they could get, then they should've kept him, because it is a lot less than he is worth.
  11. I mean, it's demonstrably worse than the Bears' trade for the #2 pick where they were bidding against themselves for a player they could have had for free 5 minutes later, because at least the Bears didn't throw away a franchise player for the right to do so. i don't even think that was all that bad
  12. i think this might actually be the worst trade any of my teams has ever made in my lifetime (not judged in hindsight)
  13. so you're basically swapping activity for achievement the bulls were in a much better position 4 hours ago than they are now essentially you're saying you wanted them to dump off their best and extremely valuable asset at any cost just because reasons
  14. [tweet]https://twitter.com/travellegaines/status/878078236780937218[/tweet] jimmy's trainer apparently
  15. i still can't believe this is actually real you can't make up a worse return than this two shitty players and a pick swap for a top 15 player on a reasonable contract in my wildest don't trade jimmy nightmares i could not have come up with this
  16. wait no what am i saying i don't care about this team anymore unless this dude turns out to be porzingis and everyone is fired
