Hooray Chicago!

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 11:16 PM) If they got a 75-80% T-Mac, the Bulls are one of the rare teams that could challenge the Heat/Lakers. It wouldn't be long if/when he supplants Brewer for the starting role if he is even around that percentage for the former superstar. (especially as a legit threat from the perimeter even if he hasn't been that good at all through-out his career, but just the "threat" he possesses greatly helps Derrick) Now, as of last week and throughout most of the process, I wanted nothing to do with him. (much rather sign Roger Mason and call it an off-season) But seeing some reports of the Clippers brass (though that isn't saying much) like him, Stan Van Gundy's comments of slurping him when he worked out for them, him being one year and six months removed from surgery, being my favorite player in the late 90s early 2000s (still have his Toronto and Magic jerseys when I was younger) a few youtube highlights of him playing last year trying to tell me hes "still got it" and the only game I caught of him playing was his first game where he played very well versus the Thunder is affecting my better judgment. (especially if/when he is basically useless in an up-tempo style transition and forces Derrick to slow down and use more half-court sets when they are running) Same here. The low risk high reward factor is very enticing.

That would mean the Sox have plus fielders at 5 positions (Omar, Alexei, Rios, AJ, Pierre), 2 above average ones (Gordon, Paulie), and 2 bad one/great ones depending on day(Quentin/Some Pitchers vs. Jones/Buehrle-Santos)

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 08:23 PM) If that's the case, the Bulls would have a very good shot at the Eastern Conference finals. BTW, nothing is for certain with this deal. http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/...on-mcgrady.html If T-Mac got Comeback Player of the Year, the Bulls would have an amazing season.

Go around the concourse, visit things like the speed pitch for fun, visit the hat store. If it's a kid, Fundamentals deck is a must.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 07:41 PM) There's tons of rumors that teams are frustrated that there's not a lot of good relievers on the market. If the Sox pay for some of Jenks' remaining salary, I think we could get some good prospects. This would be intriguing to say the least...

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 06:53 PM) We got the Noah pick in the trade with the Knicks right? Yes. I almost feel bad for the Knicks.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 07:12 PM) Value added poor grammar post of the minute. I think you're overreacting J4L, but I do understand your point of view. This is why this place is nicer after wins.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 06:34 PM) They traded Lee because they didnt have the prospects necessary to get Halladay. The prospects they traded for Doc were all from the Phillies farm system. The Lee deal was cost + trying to restock the farm after getting Doc. QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 07:00 PM) 2007: ARZ turns Chris Carter, Brett Anderson, Aaron Cunningham, Dana Eveland, Carlos Gonzalez and Greg Smith into Dan Haren and Connor Robertson 2010: ARZ turns Dan Haren into Joe Saunders, Patrick Corbin, Rafael Rodriguez and Tyler Skaggs Um, wow. That is 1000000000 times worse than the Swisher trades.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 01:50 PM) Jeremy Reed is 1/1 with a 2-run HR. .314 AVG. I am rooting for ya buddy! This is just funny at this point. That would be the ultimate feel-good story.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 05:52 PM) Bunting? I...love bunting... OZZIE BALL MOTHERF***ERS

Hawk calling Viciedo 'Tank' now. Hah! Take that 'HoT FiRe' (I'm just kidding Joe)

I still can't believe that got the job done for the D-Backs. Surely they could have gotten more than Saunders + 'spects

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/07/ange...e-saunders.html Huge blow to the Tigers.

Nice.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 10:49 PM) Oddly enough, Greg is the only one that seems to hit the nail on the head. Most executives and guys with sources (also from what I've heard) have indicated any deal with Prince has to start with Beckham (or they cannot see any deal being made if the deal does not have Beckham + a prospect in it). Obviously KW will not do that. (especially with Beckham hitting again, and what we view him as) Now, I can see their asking price lowered possibly this comming off-season or by the deadline next season where a guy like Huddy would probably be the main prize (especially if he's more established, though who knows if the sox would need a 1B/DH by then) but as of right now, Prince (for us at least, maybe not other teams with better farms) is much more of a pipe dream than Adam Dunn. Again, this is where the market benefits the Sox. No one wants to pay the kings ransom for Prince and the Sox could pay less for Dunn and Fielder's price only goes down from here, so they may forcer the Brewers hand.

Curse of the Coliseum.

Excuse me Omar, whatchu doin'?

This strike zone is tighter than Mark Kotsay's wife Edit: MORE GAS

By the way, I'm chilling in the chat if anyone feels like signing in.

GAS!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 03:33 PM) Ozzie might as well get tossed now No, he needs to go out and randomly argue just for the sake of livening up this boring thing.

Aw hell.

Dadgummit.
