  1. This is a good post. I don't believe a lot of people (Sox fans and definitely rest of the league) realize how fucking good this guy is going to be.
  2. Is he sticking with 78 or will his number change? I want to order my Chinese knockoff jersey!
  3. At this point we're hoping the guy can become replacement-level.
  4. Just pay the fucking guy, Jesus. Who cares how much he wants it's not like it's guaranteed.
  5. I can’t believe the guy wasn’t even 80. Looked like hell.
  6. Well, the guy most certainly has "his team" so if he can't make this work and show "his system" works then get him the fuck out of here and get us a pro.
  7. God how can anyone compare Glasnow and Meadows to Cease and Jimenez. Jimenez is worth 3x that alone and Cease may actually wind up a starter - days that have come and gone for Glasnow*. *the Rays will assuredly stretch him out and start him and then realize how bad that is the first time he walks 10 guys in a game.
  8. Yessir. No reason at all to attempt to cash out right now.
  9. Rodon is 25 and showing signs of a breakout.
  10. I also honestly believe that the Bulls won't be in NBA hell making the playoffs. Outside of Golden State, Boston, and Houston, it's hard to find a more exciting starting 5 in the NBA in terms of upside. This year is an audition. We have room for a max contract next year and we have tradeable assets for players under contract. The Bulls are suddenly very quickly in a good position to make some noise with player development and key strategic additions. It also seems to me like Paxson is taking more of the reins from Forman which is a good thing in terms of league perception. The arrow is pointing up and I'm all in on this Bulls squad. I can't wait to watch these guys develop together.
  11. Markkanen has the highest upside of all of our players. They'd better get him minutes. Very Dirk-ish in those highlights above with regards to his quick pull-up jumper and foot work. Then of course he has twice the athleticism already. Slurp.
  12. I'm going to call it right now. The Chicago Bulls will make the playoffs this year and might be as high as a 4 seed. Some Evidence:
  13. You guys are so petty. If they wanted Chelios to participate they shouldn't have traded him a year earlier. The guy was being paid millions by the Red Wings because the Hawks dealt him, and you want to blame him for that? HE HAD TO PLAY IN THE GAME THAT NIGHT. HE WAS PLAYING. WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY EXPECT?
  14. I'm forever saddened that the Hawks cast Chelios off at the end of his career - or so Wirtz & Co. thought when they didn't want to pay the Norris winner in 99 or so and gave the fucking guy away TO THE FUCKING RED WINGS for Anders Ericson and a bag of pucks (I didn't have to Google this). Chelly only went on to play like another 30 years and lead the league in +/- a few times. Guy was a beast. Chelios was a Chicago guy. Born and raised. I caught the news he had to leave the Wings to be closer to his Mom whom I'd have to assume is old as fuck a few days ago, and I'm glad he can get a check with and represent the Hawks. We need more 90s Hawks and less 60s Hawks as ambassadors anyway. Get me JR. Get me Joe Murphy, Get me Tony Amonte. Get me Sergei Krivokrasov. Gt me Eric Daze. Get me Eric Weinrich. Bring them to me. I'll never forget the first time I walked into Chelly's Chili down the road from the UC. I was home. I was among my brethren. Then they dealt him for nothing and ruined it. Anyway, I welcome Chris Chelios back with open arms and will never stop loving him. At one point I had 3 Chelios jerseys. Home White (at the time white was home), 3rd black, and Nagano Olympics. Funny aside - the 90s were my heyday as a Hawks fan. It never was more important to me. ESPN used to air outdoor beach street hockey. One day this guy was playing and talking mad shit and getting into tons of scrums on the rink. He looked just like Chris Chelios - turns out it was his brother Steve Chelios. #pointlessstory Thanks for letting me rant about Chris Chelios this morning. ?
