    I like this Ben Wallace. :)
  2. CaliforniaRaisin
    Hehe. That's my main problem with Lovie. But I think he'll still be the Bears coach in a few seasons.

    Is Sammy actually trying to hit the ball to the right side of the field for once? His swing must be pretty slow right now, because Sammy is a dead pull hitter. For once? It's a shame you missed 1998-2002.

    Bulls up by 5 at the half. Thabo and TT getting meaningful minutes (and of course the announcers fall in love with TT's leaping ability). Hinrich went to the locker injured but was back on the bench to end the half; Noc is out.

    Overall: 17.2 IP, 3 GS, 7 ER, 14 H, 28 K/ 5 BB, 3 HBP, 3.57 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, .212 BAA
  6. CaliforniaRaisin
    I agree.

    The Bulls are 2 games out of the 2 seed, a game and a half out of the 3. Fixating on the seeding of the moment is premature. And the past two seasons, the Bulls have finished the season well. So true. We've already had 2 very long road trips (8+ games in a row on the road) and we have a solid record. Sometimes the negativity is really annoying. This is the best Bulls team we've seen in the past 9 years and some people still aren't happy and try to find every little thing to criticize. Get over it. It's a solid team that is only going to get better. We have some trading chips that can be used in the offseason to make a big move for a player like KG, who could put us over the hump. The East is wide open and we should have a good run in the playoffs. I'm just happy that playoff NBA basketball is back to being a yearly thing in Chicago. Good point (that 1908 keeps mentioning too). Not only do the Bulls have a history of finishing the season strong, they also have an easy schedule here in the second half with no West Coast road trips.

    He's more likely to play at 3B right now, imo. No Orlando Cabrerra blocking him at SS. I agree, but shouldn't they lok at the possibility that the kid can field short at a decent level and could hit 40-50 homers there? You know like AROD vaule. That is still great at third, but not as much so as at short. Oh well, I just hope they let him play when he arrives. Oh and am very greatful we picked Ryan Harvey. Yeah, I agree with you - his bat would be more valuable at SS than 3B. But I think that if he's ready for the bigs, I'd do whatever it takes to get him up to Anaheim. And Wood was a late first rounder for a reason compared to Harvey. It's disappointing, but Wood wasn't on too many team's radars at 6 and Harvey was a potential #1 pick.

    Thank goodness Dodger Stadium and Petco are so much bigger and their fan bases aren't as crazy.

    Well there goes my hopes of a FT contest between Shaun Pruitt and Mata to pull of the 2nd round upset of you guys. You think Illinois is going to be an 8-9 seed?
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    UCLA wins 85-75 (it was a bigger lead until the walk-ons blew it against Cal's walk-ons). Mata went 8/9 in FTs :shock: (again, shooting 31% on the season). Shipp had a huge game again (22 points), it looks like he and Mbah a Moute are completely healthy at the right time. Up next, Stanford at Pauley (revenge!) and then the showdown against Wazzou in Pullman, Washington. ETA: Oregon beats WSU so UCLA now has a 2-game lead on WSU with 3 games left in the conference.
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    Calvin and Hobbes? Yes. Awesome. Definitely is.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Washington loses to Oregon Freaking State. Stick a fork in them. I know the guard play has been bad (especially Dentmon and Oliver), but this has been a dissapointing season for U-Dub.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    UCLA up 35-34 at the half against Cal. Lorenzo Mata (31% FT shooter) is 6 for his last 6! Amusing exchange between the announcers: Roberts: He's [some Cal player] not going to give you much on offense but he's a great guy to have on your team. MacLean: Is that like saying a girl has a great personality?

    DirecTV channel 609 Nice, I didn't know I got ESPNU. you must be paying for it because I don't get it Nah, we don't pay for it (huzzah for my mom for getting the sports and movie package for free thanks to her work). :D
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Depends on why he had the bad spring (injury, couldn't locate his offspeed because it's AZ or what). I think he deserves quite some leeway after his second half last season.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Looks like he might play both SS and 3B at Salt Lake City this season. He's gonna end up at third base at the big leagues, imo.

    Prior's gonna havta beat DLee for CPOY.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Nice win, Ben Wallace had a huge game. Gotta agree with Mark_R. I really would like to see TT get some time in the game, I thought he had gotten into Skiles' good graces at the end of the first half but I guess not. Thabo at least got a few minutes, but come on. Flames, it looked like Hughes was trying to foul at the start of the possession itself. He needs to know that he needs to do more to commit it in that situation. That's Larry's fault.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeah. Skiles' substitution patterns are awful. At least the Bulls are back ahead.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Awful third quarter and some major foul problems going around right now.
