    Does Reinsdorf go to Akron with GarPax, Rose, Noah, and Thibodeau? http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/basketball/bulls/ct-spt-0630-bulls-chicago--20100629,0,6952391.story that article says they're trying to get pippen to go with them, which would be pretty huge imo, especially after the wade comments. it also says the hawks might offer joe johnson the 6/126 max, which would be absolutely hilarious.

    lol fail. but the more i think about it, the more i feel like it doesn't really make a difference. we all knew these guys were going to talk anyways.

    maybe craig anderson too

    I don't really understand the fuss over the "summit". Whether or not these guys actually met face to face all at once, they've all been talking to each other. I don't really see the distinction.

    then why do the fans get to vote people in?

    apparently broussard was on sportscenter and said miami is now the front runner fopr lbj. this is concering, because he's been pimping chicago hardcore for a while now. i still don't see this happened for a few different reasons, but holy [expletive] would this be a disaster. miami- lebron, wade, bosh NY- johnson, amare then who do we get? carlos boozer? great.

    if it does happen, the GM who agrees to trade for Beasley would be the most hated man in the NBA.

    broussard also starting to pimp the lebron/miami possiblity in his twitter i don't think i'd watch the nba if this happened

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5338472 ok, if it's true that those 3 actually met this weekend, i'm officially terrified of the possibility of all 3 going to miami.

    i heard that lou piniella ate a meal earlier today, even though he had a game tonight. WAY TO FOCUS LOU

    you're veering into colin cowherd territory (it's the hall of fame, not the "hall of very good") here ? that's a pretty baseless comparison. ultimately, the all-star game is an exhibition game. it's primary purpose is so gather up the biggest stars in the game and put them on one stage for one night. nobody wants to see brandon boesch just because he had a good 3 months. the only argument against this is the fact that the ASG determines HFA, but that is pretty much negated by the fact that fans can vote in players, which again reinforces that this is a game for the fans to see superstars play together.

    he has an awesome baseball track record

    Coming from any other poster, I'd agree. This guy really seems to bask in it though. like i said, there's a understand the difference between a person venting about the cubs sucking and hoping the cubs suck. i want the cubs to win as badly as anybody. the problem is that i want them to win too much, which makes me get more pissed to see them do the same stupid things over and over again.

    i've been saying for a while that it's gonna suck hard when we get joe johnson and david lee but at least we'll win 50 games and maybe a playoff series, or something
  16. 17 Seconds
    how would that even work though? 3 players like that? it could be amazing, but it could also be a disaster. plus, what would they have outside of that? they'd have absolutely no depth whatsoever. who would their 4th best player be?
  17. 17 Seconds
    yeah, i don't buy it. just saying that the possibility is frightening.

    http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/06/report-wade-hopeful-heat-can-land-lebron-bosh.html this article alone means nothing, but it's starting to get concerning to see multiple reports that the heat might get wade, bosh, AND lebron. holy hell that would suck on so many levels.

    You kind of proved my point. Strasburg has been fantastic since he's been up. So has Boesch. Of course Strasburg has the higher career ceiling by far, but if you're going to put him in after only 7 career starts, how can you pass on Boesch after 60-some career games when he's been great, too. For those who don't know, through 53 games Boesch is .330/.389/.621 with 12 HR and 43 RBI. "For those who don't know" illustrates perfectly why he's not a candidate for the ASG. So even though he's put up really good stats in the 1/3rd of a year since he's been up, as has Strasburg, Boesch shouldn't get in because he doesn't have the hype or the media following? Welp, I guess that eliminates Gallardo and Greinke. it's called the all-star game. strasburg is a star, boesch isn't.

    In the very post I quoted you stated you were hoping for the Cubs to suck. In fact you called it awesome. no, i didn't. trying reading it again. I clearly stated, and I quote, "if we are going to suck this year, this is what i want." i'm saying that if the cubs are going to suck, they might as well tank hard to bring about changes and a higher draft pick. none of this 79-83 and minor changes stuff that leads to use being mediocre again next year and having the same problems over and over. either you have tons of trouble with simple reading comprehension, or you're just being willfully ignorant. considering you do this constantly, i think i know which one it is.

    it's awesome. if we are going to suck this year, this is what i want. i want a [expletive] circus. i want this [expletive] to get completely disastrous. What do you mean "this year"? You revel in the Cubs' misery every year. you seem to have a hard time telling the difference between venting about the cubs sucking and hoping for the cubs to suck. but hey, it's davearm. you specialize in faulty logic and making no sense.

    strasburg is getting national'd tonight. comical defense being played behind him in the 7th. booted double play, throwing to the wrong base, not being able to field a bunt, etc edi: now another error. these dudes are good
  24. 17 Seconds
    Anyone can have a good 1/5th of a year. very few pitchers can have a 1/5 of a season as good as strasburg's had. he hasn't just been good, he's been insane. you could say that about every player
