The Official 2004 - 2005 Chicago Bulls Thread

But where do we get that superstar? :| EDIT: And the Bears are a being healthy, adding a reciever or two and maybe an LT from being dominating, imo. They don't necessarily need a superstar. -
He's been making the rounds, we should get TWalk!

Obviously you havent been a Cub fan long. I am 3rd generation. After the first generation or so, all hope disappears. The 2nd generation brings bitter disappointment and disillusionment. With the 3rd generation comes comedy, acceptance, and understanding the art form. It isnt IF the Cubs will fail so much, as how they will do it. They always amaze and break new ground in this area. Like watching Opera. Great singing and fine music, but the really good part is in the intangible area. Now dont get me wrong, I enjoy a good Cubs victory just like everyone else. I just try to avoid the suicidal lows associated with any kind of hope whatsoever. The "safe" money on the Cubs will always follow Murphy's Law. We were doomed when the first expert picked us to win it all this year. Pessimistic? Perhaps, but Realistic. Life is pain; anyone who tells you different is trying to sell you something. I guess we're just different. As soon as I'm half as negative as you, and do nothing but derive pain from the Cubs, I'll stop being a fan. I don't understand why anyone would want to follow the team if it wasn't fun. I hear ya and am in agreeance with ya, Tree. I really don't know how some of the more negative posters here survive and how they can take rooting for the Cubs if it makes them so negative, etc.

I would like to have found out how he did in crucial games, as opposed to Jose Macias.

I was on the Free Dubois movement. I'm definitely calling shotgun on the Jason Dubois BandWGN. I've been wanting to see him get more playing time compared to the likes of Tom Goodwin and Jose Macias. Way to go, JD!

Wow. It's too late to bash away. Will do that tomorrow (though something tells me many folks here will by the time I come). -
Well, it did seem like he missed quite a bit of last season to injury. I'm more shocked at the health of Dontrelle Willis. Yeah I think Beckett was on the DL a few times last season, maybe the reason he had so much in the tank in October last year. Hopefully Kerry and Mark can do that this year and get the Cubs a victory in the Series. 8) Just noticed on the ESPN ticker that Beckett was placed on the DL with the blister and AJ Burnett came off the DL and will make his first start Thursday.
