QUOTE(fathom @ May 13, 2007 -> 02:57 PM) There were a few of us begging for upgrades. KW deserves so much blame for not bringing in a leadoff hitter who can play against righties and lefties. And please don't give me the whole....who would you have brought in? I have no clue who was available, but the GM's job is supposed to be to find players that can fit into the holes you have. Under no circumstances should Barbaro have been brought back to play LF and leadoff. I agree completely. Hated the pods re-signing as I thought I was 90% sure he would not be brought back. But I blame this more on the middle of the order not hitting than just the lead-off spot and Kenny. We have high-expectation guys being paid good money that are creating some holes by sucking so much. And when guys like cintron and mack were signed last year, many were calling the bench one of the most solid...

QUOTE(fathom @ May 13, 2007 -> 02:41 PM) Am I being overly negative when I say the Royals have just as much talent in their lineup as the Sox do? I'm so disappointed in KW for not doing more to help this offense. Talent-wise, yes. Not even the most pessimistic of people thought our offense would be this atrocious, and I wouldn't mind being proven wrong if anyone made any off-season posts stating so. Execution-wise, no, there aren't enough negative words to describe the offense. Looks like the worst in baseball offensively. And if you just mean today's lineup, it's party due to injuries, but I agree that we still should not look this atrocious.

I like wins.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 12, 2007 -> 07:33 PM) No Erstad posts from you lately. Wonder why... You must have me confused with someone else?

Sweeney Ozzie hates young guys and doesn't play them...

Now I'm curious to see how many people have alcohol at their job readily available every day...

QUOTE(JuiceCruz16 @ May 9, 2007 -> 11:24 AM) Well, Garcia is a heavey lean to IU, but you may have to wait an extra year if he does not make-up his school work. He is only a sophmore acedemically now, so a year in prep school after this one looks to be on the horizon. I heard DePaul is still involved. Do you know anything about draymond green? Not sure what kinda shot DePaul has with either but I know they're recruiting them. And Jeremiah Kelly is a nice way to start of our 2008 recruiting class.

QUOTE(Top Notch @ May 10, 2007 -> 01:22 AM) This is a non-issue. Racial slurs usually aren't an issue when they aren't directed towards you, or you agree with them. QUOTE(NUKE @ May 10, 2007 -> 05:30 AM) Grow the f*** up already. Indeed. Those idiots should grow up and learn to be respectful, responsible human beings. I think that as an educational institution, and hopefully one with rules, regulations, and guidelines that does not condone the use of racial slurs, the university should have done something to reprimand a school-sponsored organization for not only being so blatantly disrespectful with their use of stereotyping and racial slurs, but also for representing the university in such a negative light. What are they learning other than knowing they can keep those stereotypical and disrespectful views with little to no consequence?

abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=local&id=5286453 Thoughts? Should they university have taken any actions?

DePaul gets PG Jeremiah Kelly, the last of the very short-lived boys to men pipeline.

Well, at least it happened in a game we will hopefully win.

ba woulda done a flip and caught it with his bare hand...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2007 -> 02:51 PM) Maybe I am just getting old, but I don't see the point of getting upset over a game meant for entertaining me, especially since I have seen teams that were way worse. Games like last night still get to me, as I'm sure it did to a lot of us who follow the team practically every day, but I've learned to enjoy the good days a lot more than getting upset over the heartbreakers. Those probably only deserve a shrug. I got way too much real crap to worry about so I try to focus more on the positives since it's meant to be enjoyment. No use despising half the team and management; that's no fun. But yeah, I do kinda wonder sometimes if some of you are as mad and frustrated as you seem on here or if it's really just venting. Not that sports still don't get to me as I'm still really bitter at Wilson Chandler leaving DePaul.

Where'd the Erstad updates in people's sigs go?

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ May 8, 2007 -> 08:53 PM) Maybe we won't be last in the AL in BA with RISP after this game? That's Jessica, isn't it? I'd recognize that ass anywhere...

QUOTE(fathom @ May 8, 2007 -> 08:47 PM) Hate to say something bad

QUOTE(rafacosta @ May 8, 2007 -> 08:39 PM) A lot of people b**** about Erstad..but Dye is killing us! ba woulda turned that double to a quadruple...

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ May 7, 2007 -> 10:40 PM) You're the one calling out Ben Gordn every two seconds. Some people hate him a bit too much, but he is a HUGE reason why they're getting dismantled. Are we positive gordon, tyrus, the pick, and pj can't get us KG?? QUOTE(SoxAce @ May 7, 2007 -> 10:40 PM) Maybe one day someone will give props to Detroit's defense... Quite frankly, they are the better team. I won't deny it. But the Bulls are absolutely not putting in the hustle and effort that was needed to make this series competitive. The mental mistakes are bad enough, and the lack of hustle is even worse, but when you factor in the fire that detroit is playing with and the Bulls should have matched or surpassed but have not, it leads to these blowouts. Guys like nocioni are literally just handing the ball over. That's what's sad and frustrating. Detroit took it to another level and the Bulls have just fallen apart.

Why show up if you're not gonna play?
