Come on Milt

Buck and McCarver yay ](*,)

I wonder how many of those low scoring 1 run losses we had in that 2-3 week stretch, and Aaron Miles was starting, we would have won had Fox been playing.

Well thats an interesting strike 3

Hes been hitting the ball hard lately with not alot of results.

Fuku hit it hard, but of course we have no luck

Sotos bat is starting to wake up, I dont know why Fontenot is hitting ahead of him.

Because the alternative is Aaron Miles? Or just play Blanco for the defense. Blanco has been starting everyday. RIght now its Fontenot, Miles, or Freel. Give me Freel at this point.

Yea I have no clue, Id rather see if Freel can continue hitting like he was at AAA at this point. Either that or call up Scales

If Fox keeps hitting like he has been, I really dont think Lou is going to care about the D unless it gets embarrasingly bad. Fox has held his own over there, and has been hitting the ball hard. I wish he could play 2nd.

With the way this team is playing maybe they should all go out and get high together and relax, maybe then theyd quit pressing so damn bad with RISP......

there's a lot more to this story than what you're thinking. no way was he forced off the team, there's just no way. And it's not no way man, we wouldn't do that to a kid. It's no way man, he was going to play 15+ minutes per game and would be our best returning defender. Exactly. Ping is acting like this was some normal garbage walk on player, who only seen time at end of blowouts. Jordan contributed to this team last year, and would have been like you said, the Illinis best returning defender. Jordan was never going to be a great star, but he had his place on a good team.

Really? I think you have no idea wtf you're talking about. I'd love to hear you explain though. Because that's one of the guys his statistical translations compare him to. It's also a guy scouts have compared him to. He's more of an undersized 4 than a 3. His main skill is his athleticism. Johnson is stronger, Thomas was a better shot blocker. Oh and there's this gem from Chad Ford: 'The Bulls have wanted Johnson for a while. He's a good athlete who can play the 3 and the 4 on both ends of the floor. His game needs to develop, but when he gets going, he's something. He reminds me a little of Chicago's Tyrus Thomas in one way -- he'll play great one minute and have his coach pulling his hair out the next. With Thomas on the trade block, Johnson may ultimately be his replacement.' But yeah Ford has no idea wtf he's talking about. Neither do the other scouts who've made that comparison. And you know what, the translated numbers have no idea wtf they're talking about either. If Thomas is on the block it makes sense. But then they take Tyrus Thomas without the upside later in the 1st round is just puzzling. 1st off hes 6 8 255lbs and can handle the ball. He was a point guard in HS, and has been said to have some of the best handles of anyone in this draft. His offensive game is so much farther ahead than Tyrus Thomas's right now. JJ is alot tougher, and not afraid to go inside and bang around with people, unlike Tyrus. James Johnson already has a mid range jumper, unlike Tyrus Thomas. Really they are very different types of players. Just read this scouting report of him and tell me he sounds like Tyrus Thomas. Thats from draft.net. Look its easy to compare him to Tyrus Thomas since he went to the Bulls, but they arent the same type of player at all. His ball handling skills by themselves seperate him from TT so much that its laughable. Nevermind the fact hes 40-50lbs bigger, has an outside shot, and will mix it up down low. Oh and the comparison from Chad Ford give me a break. He says he reminds him of TT in 1 WAY! And that 1 way has nothing to do with the talents of either player, hes talking about how both seem to take plays off. Well almost all college players, and NBA players take plays off. Again he wasnt comparing their actual GAME!

Love the James Johnson pick, and dont quite understand the Gibson pick at all. I think JJ makes an impact for this team next year.

The people comparing James Johnson to Tyrus Thomas really have no idea wtf they are talking about.

Seriously, NBA players dont seem to have much trouble running up and down the court, and pretty sure most of that league smokes weed.

I dont think its going to happen and Id rather have Bosh

Bulls moving to #11? http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=917814&sid=4c003e4263d768d04b6a3a4427af6f57

It's just not worth getting caught when you're a pro baseball player. Get your priorities in order, in my opinion. It's not like your life is terrible and depressing and you live in soviet russia if you can't smoke a blunt. Get over it. You have responsibilities. Obviously he has his priorities in order if he hasnt failed a drug test since. But hell after last years post season can you blame Geo for wanting to smoke a little weed during the offseason? Also, for the people claiming Geo is fat compared to last year, he really isnt. Last week in the rain delay when they were showing the game against Milw, Outshined One and myself said the exact same thing..."Damn, Geo was actually fat last year too."

Pretty nice day for Fuku today.

Like I said, he was coming off the off season, spending it wherever he lives. It could be legal there, and the Cubs said they have tested him regularly since and he hasnt failed a test. I wouldnt be at all surprised that he smokes it in the off season, and then doesnt while the season is going on. I also wouldnt be surprised if he smokes it all the time, and again who cares.

Its hard telling when Geo smoked it for one, and for 2, where does Geo spend his offseason? It could be legal there. Lastly, who cares.

At least ask the 1st base ump blue come on
