Blackhawks Offseason Thread
Steve9347 replied to whitesoxbrian's topic in A and J's Olde Tyme Sports Pub
QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 2, 2008 -> 11:46 PM) Jagr? f*** no Agreed. The Hawks should have two things on their mind. 1) Figure out the future at goaltending 2) Get Marion Hossa in here -
QUOTE (jackie hayes @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 07:40 AM) I can't imagine they'd actually do the Wade + #2 for the #1. But if I'm the Heat, I at least think about Wade + #2 for #1 + future 1st round picks (2, say) + Deng + others, IF I'm fairly certain I won't be able to hold onto Wade for more than the next two years. They'll almost certainly have a fairly high pick next year, too, and Rose + Deng + 2009 lottery pick + other 1st rounders is not a bad nucleus for a team that can't avoid a pretty significant makeover. I'm not sure I'd do it, but I'd think about it. There's a big pr hit, of course, but they didn't seem to be drawing well this season, anyway. I remember one Heat-Cavs game where they had an astonishing number of empty seats. It shocked me that they couldn't get people to go to a game like that, if just to watch the Wade-LeBron show. Supposedly the Heat really want Kirk Hinrich, so you get some of your salary matching right there, and fill around. Reports are that Pat Riley is so turned off by Michael Beasley that he wants to ensure he gets Rose. The Bulls could really luck out here. Hinrich Tyrus Noc #1 for Wade #2 That sets up a lineup of Noah Beasley Deng Gordon Wade with Gooden/Hughes/Sefolosha off the bench. If Wade can stay healthy (big IF) that vaults the Bulls to the top of the Eastern Conference I would have to think... A move for a taller shooting guard could really make the bulls interesting. You'd have to think perhaps a Gordon for Maggette deal could be arranged as well, giving the Bulls a sick look. Noah Beasley Deng Maggette Wade Then use some of your left over cash to sign a Dasagnia Diop to be your backup C, and you have a nasty looking team that can go deep into the playoffs, and will only get better...

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 2, 2008 -> 01:12 AM) In the "Trade for Brand" scenario, the line-up probably ends up looking like: PG Rose SG Thabo/Hughes/Gordon (in that order) SF Deng PF Brand C Noah I've been an advocate of this move for a while now. I'd be more of a fan of making a deal for Okafor, because his age is more in alignment with this mini rebuild. -
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 2, 2008 -> 08:57 AM) Question, though - even if that happens and Obama actually has the full majority, what if Clinton elects not to concede, and decides to go to Denver in a futile attempt to talk some supers out of voting for Obama? I mean, what's to stop her from doing that, other than looking like even more of a buffoon than she already does? Given her track record, that's exactly what she's going to do.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 04:43 PM) Fully one-third, or 34 percent, of likely voters said they hadn't heard enough about Obama to express an opinion about him. Only 16 percent said that about Clinton, the former first lady and current U.S. senator from New York, a state with many Puerto Ricans. If you don't care, why are you voting. I hate it when uneducated folks decide they should be voting.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 30, 2008 -> 02:36 PM) Why would the boat be on top of the island then? I was assuming the strong magnetic properties pulled the boat out of the water. Sort of like the magnetic properties pulled the plane apart. Well, the island, when it moved, seemed to disappear INTO the water, not into the sky. One would have to assume that it appears from underneath, so any ship sailing would basically have the ground grow beneath it.

What should Ozzie do with Swisher?
Steve9347 replied to Kenny Hates Prospects's topic in Pale Hose Talk
QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 30, 2008 -> 07:38 AM) Does it really have that much to do with him at #2, or more with Q at 3? Q since the switch: .327 .409 .636 SLG 19 RBI in 15 games Previous #3 hitter: .209 .350 .769 OPS 22 RBI in 37 games How bout OC's move: batting 2nd: .220 .298 .569 OPS 3 2B 17 runs in 30 games batting 1st: .276 .311 .709 OPS 6 2B 17 runs in 23 games AJP batting 2nd: .231 .286 .613 OPS 4 RBI 3 2B 6 runs 13 games So we can see that although AJ's stats have gone down with the move, overall our offense has been a bit more productive and our #3 hitter has basically blown the doors off the previous hitter. But it would be foolish to think that AJP was the reason as OC was actually close to the same hitter in that spot. How about this? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Swisher is still batting around .200 so you think putting him in the 2 hole is a good idea? Ridiculous. -

Bulls do not hire Doug Collins as head coach

I like this one a lot. -
QUOTE (juddling @ May 29, 2008 -> 10:03 AM) i used to suscribe to the 'never hit a woman policy' until i got sucker punched by a girl (drunk) at a party (mistaken identity). As bad as it sounds....if she pushes you.....push her back.....if she punches you..well.....what does she expect??? Never escalate it...but stay at her level. And then never live down the fact that you hit a woman. Never... hit... a woman.
