Seriously though, if Soriano signed with the Sox, I'd put us as the favorite on paper. The only team in the AL that should be better than the Sox if that happened would be Boston, but their rotation is a huge question mark. And their bullpen, since Bobby is setting up and not closing. And while the Phils have far and away the best rotation, their lineup is like Boston's pitching staff. Meanwhile the Sox could have a lethal lineup, a top 5 rotation depending on Peavy's health and a BP of: CL - Soriano SU - Crain SU - Thornton MR - Sale MR - Santos MR - Infante LR - Pena That right there is a good bullpen. Also of note, the other places he'd sign are either almost at their limit too (Angels, especially if they get Beltre) or he wouldn't close (Yankees)

Freaking Big Mac promotion.

I like it...

Actually get in shape. We'll see how that goes.

Noah needs to be in the booth until he gets back from injury. He was hilarious.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 29, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) Cowley says Sale is going to Camp Cora as well. To work on pitches against the hitters? I'm confused.

A Heat series is where the Bulls will miss Kirk, since he was the D-Wade stopper. But I'm confident that Rose will win his matchup, Boozer will feast on Bosh, Noah will shut down Bosh/Miami Center, and Brewer might be able to fill Kirk's role. I'll wait till the second Heat game (when we have Noah) to judge if we can play them or not.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 29, 2010 -> 01:00 PM) The first two? Obviously the Bucks and Cavs. lol. Heat and Celtics. And a front-court headed by Camby and Howard totally shut down the paint for opposing teams, outside of maybe Miami. The Heat don't match up well against a healthy Bulls. LeBron will have to guard Rose, leaving Deng open, and Boozer-Noah-Taj will devour Bosh and Ilgauskas. And the Bulls always play hard against the Celtics, and if KG is gone, I think they beat them. I would fear Camby-Howard though.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 29, 2010 -> 04:26 AM) A Camby/Howard front-line would be devastating. And yet a third team the Bulls would have little to no chance against. Who are the first two? It used to be the Magic, but we don't know how that would work now with a healthy Boozer and revamped Magic roster.

f***ing Oney. He needs to not have an internet connection. As for Bobby, is he suffering from some sort of DWade "Bulls aren't loyal syndrome"? Ozzie stuck by him long past the point where he should have. I thought it would end nicely Bobby, but you made it ugly.

For the record, Carlos Torres plays in Asia now.

Something overlooked: Dayan will only be 24 by the time Paulie's contract is up. He can work on his walking ability and playing corner OF/3B (Morel insurance) in AAA.

Thank god for Kyle Korver.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 26, 2010 -> 07:45 PM) NVM, Detroit had a foul to give. Korver's shooting. Better...

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 26, 2010 -> 07:43 PM) My goodness, Deng better make both of these free throws. Losing this game would be epic fail. God yes. Please Lu...make the FT.

I still say Dayan is in RF when its all said and done.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 25, 2010 -> 03:34 PM) He is? He hasn't hit .300 as a full-time player since 2004. He played in 145 games in 2009 and hit .308 Still impressive.

Man...I hate the refs. And not having Joakim.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 24, 2010 -> 02:32 PM) I think it's time to stop blaming his advisers and recognize LeBron really is a world-class moron that was blessed with exceptional basketball talent and skill. The Bulls made the playoffs one year with a 30-52 record. f***ing idiot. It's amazing how much he's embraced the role of villain. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-kobelebron122410 But wait! There's more! http://www.cnn.com/2010/SPORT/12/24/basket...a.lebron.james/

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Dec 24, 2010 -> 09:32 PM) Don't forget the Twins are "adding" Morneau and Nathan. A Nathan coming off major surgery.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 24, 2010 -> 08:45 PM) Give Morel his shot. I'd love a Longoria/Zimmerman, but that ain't happening. We need as much cheap/controllable talent as we can get. +1

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 24, 2010 -> 09:08 AM) LeBron thinks contraction would be great for the NBA. Maybe they could contract teams that have fanbases that dont really care about their team. Like, ohhhh, The Heat +100. I couldn't believe that when I read it. He said in the 80's, all the teams had 3 or 4 superstars. ...which is a no.

:headbang Happy birthday guys!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 09:16 PM) That pick has to be lottery-protected right? We won't use it for a while. But it should be one nice pick when we get to use it.
