Yep, you are correct.

haha, I was just kiddin, I think it gives us a little character.

I voted the maximum number of times in just 7 minutes. If anyone is going to vote, make sure to vote Bonds Griffey Berkman in the NL so Sosa gets knocked out.

Well its good to know we have a mascot to rival the likes of the Philly Fanatic and the others.

On sunday they were selling kids tickets marked 1.00 for a couple bucks under the real face value of the ticket. We didn't buy any, but its good to know that some people understand how to make a few bucks.

I'll second that for sure. Well.... I'm not so sure about that mascot Southpaw. That ones a little out there, but to each his own.

okay

If only ND were off NBC for good...

Yes, Yes, Nothing. If MJ came back without Phil or Pippen, the team wouldn't have been broken up. That reason right there gives Jordan at least SOME responsibility for the breakup, so it is naive to say that is was solely Krause. Though luck. Could you enlighten me as to why the hated him? Because he didn't dow down and grant them their every wish? Being the GM, Krause had the right over Jordan to do as he wished. Jordan was hird to play Basketball, not run the show for the entire franchise. Players play the games and they should obviously get most of the credit. However, Krause built Jordan two separate champonship teams. Jordan was great but his cast made it possible for the championships. Jordan deserves a ton of credit, but he could have been in a tmac situation as the lone star of a team. Think the Bulls would have won all their championships with Olden Polynice instead of Pippen? Yes, he did. The Bulls were so bad because Jordan had to leave if his every specific coaching and team need. He hated Krause so bad that he pulled the whole ship down with him. End of franchise. Badmouthing ownership and Krause wouldn't encourage any FA's to come play here either. Jordan puts in the good word for Krause and we might have Tmac playing for us now. Remember? So what? Phil and Scottie weren't going to come back, so why not be a professional. Did Jordan need Phil and Scottie to win? Apparently so after watching the Wizards debocle. Maybe he could have been a professional and play with the cards dealt. Just because a player or coach leaves doesn't mean a player should as well. You care less because Jordan couldn't win on the Wizards. If they even made the playoffs it would have been a different story. That example is showing that MJ can't do it alone. People would care because Jordan is a fan favorite in Chicago and helped win 6 rings for the city. Jordan was responsible for Basketball operations before he played there. So whose fault was that if they sucked? His obviously. He can't build a team. That's why Krause wouldn't trust him to run the Bulls, because he simply can't bulid a team, what he tried to do in Washington. What does that tell you? He coudn't do what he set out to do: improve the young players while being competitive and making a run at the playoffs. He failed.

Yes, yes they did, and it was good.

Don't get me wrong, Jordam was such an amazing player, but he turned the entire city against Krause and would be partly responsible for us sucking so bad since he left. HE broke up the dynasty and made it the popular opionon for Free agents NOT to play in Chicago. He had to get out of basketball so badly to spend time with his family. SO BADLY that he continues to play basketball within a few months, becomes joins the Wizards Franchise, and then even plays for the Wizards. He was a control freak that needed every excuse he could to get out of Chicago, because the Jerry's smartly didn't give him the control he desired (and when he did get that control in Washington, he blew it terribly). Don't quote me on this, but IIRC, Reinsdorf did offer Jordan a position of upper management with the Bulls but Jordan wanted and demanded more. Even though we were not such a great Franchise without Jordan, I don't think we would have been much better with him. The Wiz realized he wasn't getting their franchise anywhere and was, in fact, HOLDING back the young players (the opposite of his plan) so they showed him the door. MJ was the best player ever to step on a basketball court, but people think he is God and caonnot do wrong. Being the greatest player ever does not mean he will be a great GM, coach, scout, etc. Two separate entities.

Angel stadium is AMAZING as well.

The game I'll especially rememer is when he had the flu vs. the Jazz and won it. The sig uses more bytes because it is a larger .gif file, but no real significan increase in bandwidth, I think.

I'll see what I can do..

As I recall, Jordan only wanted to play for Phil Jackson. With Phil gone he had Chicago, didn't he? I mean, please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just going off recollection. Its amazing how a player can turn fans against a franchise.

We DO need more Shingo.

Point taken.

No more Billy Time

Discuss.

Racial Slur

Willie Harris is such a character, I love that man. Meeting him was so amazing.

"That's for momma"

YES

This is definetly a hard fought game tonight.

If we, or another team, had enough space in our budget for it, it would be very interesting to see a team that traded away its highly regarded prospects for good, proven MLB players. Sure, there may be no superstar prospects in your minor league system, but you may get the Maggs and Buehrle type players who aren't as highly regarded, and become really good in the Majors. The major thing that would hold a team back, though, would be having enough budget space to deal away low salary players, and take on the salaries of superstars.
