    Not sure if you guys want a thread about the combine so ill just post this here OT Jaryd Jones Smith is 6'7 and set a combine record with a 7'4 wingspan. Also ties Dwight Howard for biggest in NBA measured. My goodness.

    Russell likely omitted due to personal exploits

    Good stuff because every other tanking team lost or is losing tonight Earlier in the year I couldn’t get behind rooting for the team to lose individual games even though I wanted them to get a high pick. Not having that problem anymore Pax is playing the right cards now but I go back to a couple months ago when we were anxious to dump Niko and davell said it might have been wise to just unload him early for what ever they could get. If we had done that we'd easily be in the bottom 3. It's cool that we were able to get a 1st for him but that stretch of really good ball put us behind the 8 ball a bit. However I'm pretty confident that there are at least 5 guys that we should be pretty thrilled if they are available to us. So keep on losing. But good call, davell. That was a pivotal moment in the season for sure. Let's just hope that we are able to claw back into that bottom 3. Good job losing the back to back.

    Yeah Maples was really struggling. He's always had shitty control but my hope is that maybe he's pressing a little bit knowing he's battling for that 25th spot and hopefully Hickey gets him on track by the end of the spring. I know it's cliche but he just needs to trust his stuff and throw strikes.

    Personally I'm hoping he finds his groove again. He was a hell of a pitcher and one of the most fun to watch.
  7. We Got The Whole 9
    I think now it's safe to say we pulled off a loss to the Nets tonight

    MLBN is showing the game now. He's had a real tough time keeping his pitches down.

    Don't worry. They're just taking him to a farm upstate. I thought Tampa was the farm upstate

    Hope Billy McKinney doesn't listen to this
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    Wow that's the non-Cubs follow I am looking forward to the most
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    Shut up with that horsefeathers and give the NL the DH already
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    likely story
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    I read on another forum that his defense is his friend gave him something to stay awake on a long car ride. You sure it's for weed?
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    Smart because Watkins sucks
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Albatross Who is that? Edmunds I know camera angles can make things seem odd and disproportionate but I'm his height and I tried to mimic his stance and my hands don't come close to going as far down as his.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    What do you suppose his wingspan is? Those arms appear to be long AF

    Sounds like you're happy with relying on a bounceback from Whitehair (good as a rookie at OG but no guarantee he will be right back at that level when moving back), health from Long (I'm really skeptical of him), and Nelson making it several spots beyond where the majority of mocks have him going. If teams are okay drafting Nelson top 5 (Denver is the hot button destination) then I think it signals a bit of a philosophical shift in the league. 5 years ago I don't think he would be considered so high but interior line is being prioritized higher than before. Pure and simple, I want a dominant line, and for the unit to be deep. I won't be too happy with a patchwork line that depends on several variables. We're looking at nearly 100m in space after cuts and Pace won't be able to land everybody he targets. I hope that he casts a wide net and that certainly involves Norwell, a young, nasty, bulldog to help protect our franchise QB. What would be your move, if say, you get everybody you target? I'd sign Fulton. Pugh, if his price isn't more than around the same as Sitton's was this year. Personally, I'd try and trade back in the draft. Take a WR, CB, OL, or OLB in the 12-15 range, if it netted us an extra 2nd. I'm totally on board with a trade down. I say it every year. Pace really hasn't seemed to be a fan of it with his 1st rounder though.

    Not thrilled with that. I hope Pace is aggressive on Norwell.

    i didn't know it was possible not to have heard this story at some point. feels like it's brought up all the time. Haven't I proven how oblivious I can be yet? Besides is that talked about among Chicago media or just in general?
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    Did Maddux really telegraph the high inside fastball like that, though? horsefeathers, I guess he may have. Sorry I had never hear this before today. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/9589483/the-history-glove-talking-baseball
  23. We Got The Whole 9

  24. We Got The Whole 9
