What game(s) is Gus Johnson doing today?

anybody know where to see the full high res versions like last year?

dont lie I've been watching the Bulls over the Hawks all season if they're both playing at the same time. The Bulls are in just about every game this season and I'm having a good time following Rose's progress. all that means is that you likebasketball more than hockey so a horrible team with a horrible coach is more exciting than a team that was high scoring, fast, young, exciting, and 3rd best in the conference for most of the season? you're just mad because the hawks are tanking. you know that they've been more fun to watch than the bulls this season. The Bulls aren't a horrible team and have one of the most exciting young players in the game. I have a lot of fun watching them too. The fact that they're frustrating and inconsistent doesn't make them horrible. They have a nice, deep and versatile roster right now and I wouldn't be surprised to see them make some noise in the playoffs (not win, but put up a fight, much like the 05-06 team did to Miami). Whether or not they're more fun to watch than the Hawks is a pointless argument not even worth getting into because you're not comparing apples to apples. There's no way to adjust for how much one likes one sport over the other. I've tried to build up an interest in hockey this season and have been mildly (to use the term generously) successful. I'd much rather watch the 2000-2001 Bulls than the 91-92 Blackhawks. I'm not sure what I'm trying to illustrate there other than the fact that it's pointless to make comparisons across sports like that. /rant Obviously we're getting into semantics with the "horrible"stuff, but the point is that when you're fighting for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, you're pretty damn crappy. Derrick Rose is the ONLY thing exciting about this team. Getting excited about anything else really seems like looking through rose colered glasses to me, and that includes Tyrus. Bill Simmons has said it best multiple times: "Derrick Rose is like a $500,000 Maybach parked in the driveway of a $200,000 house in the middle of nowhere." Yeah obviously you can get more excited about which sport you like most. The point is that all the Bulls have given this season is Rose and a chance at making the playoffs as an 8 seed and getting dominated in the first round. Meanwhile, the Hawks have been a top team in the Western Conference for most of the season and actually have a chance to make noise in the playoffs. The Bulls are a joke. The Hawks aren't. And this is coming from a person who grew up being obsessed with the Cubs and Bulls, not the Blackhawks.

What more does he need to build on? Theriot is cheap and gives you above average offensive production at SS. . Defense. Theriot might give you slightly above average offense for the shortstop position, but well below average defense.

I can't agree with that. To me, having fun watching a team is connected with the talent on the court/ice. The Hawks have more talent. and are actually good

dont lie

and once again campbell gives up a goal due to lack of hustle. what a waste of money. he must be the most overrated player in the nhl. dude is garbage

Why is Burrell on the bench?

I agree with that. But like I said in it that last post, I'm talking about putting stock into spring training numbers and acting like they predict anything about the regular season. I don't think anything should "turn heads" or make you say "this guy is better than I expected".

Okay, let me rephrase it. Predicting anything or putting any stock into unexpected spring training success is meaningless. Seriously, every year there are a ton of garbage players that rake in ST and dozens of garbage pitchers that are lights outs. Every year. Some ST numbers- Chris Shelton- .520/.625/.960 Angel Berroa- .429/.444/.743 Juan Castro- .455/.472/.697 Craig Counsell- .467/.515/.633 It's not like these are just rare occurances either. Look at the ST offensive leaderboards for players with a good amount of plate appearance. I don't even know who half of the players play for. They're everywhere. Do some ST stats end up being indicative of regular season performance? Of course. But it's pointless to make anything of crappy players putting up good numbers when so many of them do it every spring training. You just can't put any stock into it.

Meph instead of just making a pointless post, how about you give us all one of your fake formulas that proves it wrong. Then we'll all believe you. I will at least give you credit though for following through on the plan (the one you PM'd me about) to respond to every one of my posts and call it wrong no matter what. So the fact that crappy players put up great spring training numbers all the time means that they're eventually going to be good? I guess we should have never traded away Casey McGehee and Rocky Cherry. I guess So Taguchi should make the team and Gathright should be our leadoff hitter. Spring training numbers mean nothing.

Umm, okay.

Just like your posts. Attack the post, not the poster.

If the Giants didn't waste money on crappy players they probably could have afforded Manny and would have become the favorites in that division IMO

yes

Spring training numbers mean nothing.

I think Calgary is a much better team than Vancouver, despite the Canucks recent run

I'm more concerned with Columbus passing the Hawks and then having to face Calgary We are undefeated against Calgary this year though and I don't think any of those games were particularly close. That was also when we were good Calgary in the playoffs would be a significantly tougher draw than Vancouver

I'm more concerned with Columbus passing the Hawks and then having to face Calgary

congrats marty

Why did the Cubs want Edmonds, when we had Pie? Because the cubs actually had a chance at the playoffs last year? Plus just because you catch lightning in a bottle once with an over the hill veteran doesn't mean other teams should start trying it

way to make a great first impression, freddy krueger
