  1. Even better. Now let's hope Lebron comes to Chicago or goes to rot in NY or NJ.
  2. Who said anything about 60 wins? I see no reason to think they can't win 50 to 55. They should be in the hunt for a top 4 seed in the playoffs. Right now Boston and Orlando r prob better but other than those 2 I don't see a team clearly better than the Bulls especially if theu get a shooter. You said you'd put them against any other team in the east. That sounds like a 60 win team to me. I'd put the Heat, Celtics, and Magic as better, and the Bulls probably on the same level as the Hawks and Bucks. Yes I'd put them against any team in the East in a 7 game series and think they have a legitimate shot at winning. Also how the [expletive] are you putting the Heat better than the Bulls, they have 4 damn players come on. Same level as Hawks and Bucks? I don't see how you can say that with a straight face.

  4. You think Carlos Boozer + 3 point shooter + young guy development - Hinrich - Miller = 20 game improvement? I'd think more like Boozer + shooter + 20 extra healthy Rose/Noah games + youth development - Hinrich - Miller - Warrick/Murray minutes - Pargo = significant improvement. Exactly. SSR likes to ignore the fact that Rose played hurt for about 7 weeks last year, and Noah missed significant time too.
  5. You think Carlos Boozer + 3 point shooter + young guy development - Hinrich - Miller = 20 game improvement? Its more that if Lebron goes to NY, that makes Cleveland irrelavant, and Im not scared of New York with Lebron and Amare. As long as Lebron doesnt go to Miami I can see the Bulls getting a 3 seed. Don't forget that the Bulls record last year is a little skewed based off Rose playing hurt for the 1st 7 weeks of the season. Its not as big as leap as you think it is.
  6. This is what is confusing me about max deals. 5/80 is 16m per. Amare got 5/99.7 or nearly 20m per. The Atlanta guy got 6/119, nearly 20m per. What the heck is a max contract? Is it fluid for every player? Its based off their last years salary I believe.
  7. If Lebron goes to the Knicks, and the Bulls sign a shooter like Morrow or Redick, Ill put the Bulls up against any team in the East and like their chances. Lebron goes to Miami all bets are off, but signing Boozer makes the Bulls better, and a shooter makes them even more better. Rose and Boozer on the pick and roll should be pretty damn effective
  8. Hmmm maybe the ridiculous platoon of Soto/Hill is finally over? Soto starting vs another righty
  9. I'd agree with your point more if Omar Infante was selected by fans. Thats true
  10. The All Star game quit being a "game for the fans" as soon as Selig made home field advantage in the World Series go to the winner. If they want it to be for the fans then make it meaningless like it should be, because the fans shouldn't have a say in helping decide who gets home field.
  11. Arizonas 3 games ahead of us in the standings. We can do some damage this series and move up to possible a tie for 3rd. Come on Cubs don't let me down!
  12. And Hendry traded him for nothing!!!!!!
  13. Drew [expletive] Stubbs has 3 homers today lol. Not surprised at all that Lilly struggled. Days like today with the wind howling are a recipe for disaster with Teddy.
  14. From what Ive heard, Torre and Ricketts are good friends and thats why his name is being mentioned now.
  15. Paul Pierce reportedly back to Celtics 4yr 61 mil
  16. I must has missed something but, why the F**K!!!!!!!! does Lou keep playing Hill? Team having trouble scoring runs -check. You have a catcher who can actually hit - check. Play the one who can't hit - ahhhh, check? Unless I missed it, I wish some reporter would get the balls to ask Lou this question. Haha question Lou? Nobody in the Chicago media has the balls to question Lou on anything they are all terrified of him. The media that cover the Cubs give Lou a free pass.
  17. Masochist that I am, I still watch most of the games. Partly because I have several Cubs on my fantasy team, partly to see Castro/Colvin, and primarily out of morbid curiosity. Several Cubs on your fantasy team? You must be in dead last.
  18. Oh and just for you TT, Koyie Hill starting again today. Righty on the mound Soto can't play vs rightys anymore. Brilliance.
  19. Righty on the mound so Soto can't start. Lol. Colvin leading off instead of Fukudome haha.
  20. Look thru this thread and you will see plenty more example of Lous idiocy. Its not 30 pages or whatever this thread is of constant bitching about Soto.
  21. How about continuing to put Ryan Theriot in the leadoff spot? How bout continuing to play Theriot over Fontenot? How about leaving his starters in too long because of some ridiculous fear of the bullpen? How about the numerous times this year he's let a pitcher hit, only to change pitchers at the beginning of the nxt inning? How about him burning thru players in close games like yesterday? Waste Nady, and then send Fuku up just to bunt instead of using Dempster who leads the world in sac bunts the past 2 years? But you are right its just the Soto thing and bullpen use that Lous terrible at.
  22. Amir Johnson signed with the Raptors.............5 yrs 34 million bucks. You have got to be kidding me lol
  23. Little bit of an explanation on the "TPE". Im not sure on your 2nd question, but I think so. http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=10274
