jay bay isnt stayin in b-town, for the simple fact that the sox dont overpay for nobody, especially a guy over 30 that hits 260 and has the 2nd worst OF arm in the game (damon is the worst). i see SF overpaying for this guy, just like they did with rowand

i think the bulls are really regreting GIVING away sepholosha right about now

Posted Sunday June 21, 2009, About: Will Pedro return as a closer?

id love to see him closing, that could solidify his position in the majors for up to 4-5 more years and assuring his position in the HOF even more

Posted Sunday June 14, 2009, About: Yankees, Braves eyeing DeRosa?

he was a free agent just last year!! why trade for him now if the yanks couldve signed him just last offseason?!?! besides, the yanks already have like 5 outfielders, now that nady's coming bak. and if cano or arod dont get injured, hes not needed in the infield ether. i didnt mention texiera because the yanks already have a good backup there, swisher. the yankees lead the bigs in runs scored, they dont need derosa at all!! what they do need is to strengthen theyre bullpen. i hated the fact that they didnt make a run at juan cruz last yr. he wouldve been a good setup man.

Posted Sunday March 29, 2009, About: Pedro won't settle for Glavine money

sell drugs?? what are u talking about?? how can you ppl badmouth pedro like this, hes been a class act and a great teamate all his career. yes, he's been injured. but hes only like 37 yrs old, compared to glavine's 40something, pedro seems like a kid. and pedro is as healthy as he's been in the last 3 yrs. and at the WBC i saw him clocked at 92mph. i believe pedro is a low risk, high reward guy. if i had a choice between smoltz, glavine and pedro, id choose pedro, hands down, at least hes healthy and he showed that he still has something left in his tank. id give him a 2 million dollar base salary that could be worth 8 million with incentives.

Posted Sunday March 29, 2009, About: Jeter destined for center field?

i think the bigger issue is whether or not the Yankees will resign him after is contract is up. i know hes the captain and the heart and soul of the Yankees, but we all know that this is a bussiness and after the way they treated bernie and pettite, nothing would surprise me

hahaha, u guys are funny. there is no way the suns would trade amare for brand. amare is way younger, less injury prone and has i higher ceiling

Posted Wednesday December 31, 2008, About: Chiefs to debate QB of future

i cant say for sure that tyler is the franchise qb, but at least he deserves a chance nt year!!! compare his numbers with peyton manning's rookie yr numbers, or eli's, vick', brees'... the list goes on and on. not everybody is big ben that has success right away. i think that tyler did a hell of a job, and hes only gonna get better, he scrambles with the best of em. hes got a good arm, he reads blitzes very good. the only thin is that he became really int prone at the end of the yr, but thats only because the chiefs' offense became 1dimentional because they abandoned the running game. dont waste a high draft pic on a qb, get a quality DE ti fill jared allens shoes!!

the mess @ KC??!! you obviosly dont know what your talking about. KC have been putting together a really talented team thats going to last for years. that team is a LB and DE away from winning their division neks yr. ANYONE that lands the KC job will have a dream job, with enough talent to win for years to come

Posted Thursday July 17, 2008, About: McGrady interested in Pistons

if t-mac should go anywhere it should be the bulls. hey got the talent to make the trade happen. and the fact is that they really need to make a trade to balance out the team, they have like 6 guards!!! and the graet thing is that he ll be a free agent together with wade, bosh and lebron, so if the bulls would lose him to free agency, theyll be able to get one of the other 3. but as usuall, paxson doesnt have the balls to pull the trigger, everybody in the league is getting better, while the bulls havnt done nothing, they havent even signed there unrestricted free agents!! a trade like ben gordon, gooden and a pic is more than enough to make this trade happen. the bulls would hav a linup like this, rose pg, tmac sg, deng sf, t thomas pf, noah c. and the best bench in the league with sefolosha, hinrich, hughs, noce, and gray

Posted Wednesday July 02, 2008, About: Bulls to begin Gordon, Deng talks

i believe there both great player. deng can do so many things in the court, defend, rebound, penetrate to the basket and shoot from mid range, and ben gordon is just deadly from wherever when hes on, but the problem with ben is that he doesnt have the dicsiplin to be a pg, in this league, hes too turnover prone and hes too small to be a 2 guard, he cant hang with the kobes, hamilton, ray allens, etc... but being a leading scorer from a team 3 yrs in a row and being under 25 has to have alot of value. so i think the bulls should do a sign and trade with ben and not even think about trading luol, i dont think hell be a great player, but i sure think hell be really good, and he can play sg, sf and even some pf. thats too valuable too just let go. id like to see a solid post guy being acquired by the bulls, but i wouldnt mind either if they dont get that guy and give tyrus a shot, give him 30+mpg. i would hate it if they giv up on him and later trade him and have the same thing that happend with tyson chandler. they should just do everything posible to trade away hughs and see wat they can get for ben gordon and increase mins to sefolosha and tyrus

Posted Thursday June 26, 2008, About: Bulls still smelling like Rose

i would prefer the bulls to get rose, not because hes better, but because that will force paxson to make some changes, being that there would be way to many guards. i think that hinrich is a great pg, and was falsely blamed for last years disaster, if given a good team he can put 15 ppg and 8 apg. but i think gordon has more value right now because he has lead the team in scoring the last 3 yrs. thats why they should trade gordon, and if they can get rid of hughs, that would be GREAT, but they shouldnt give up on young talent like they did with chandler thats why they shouldnt trade away tyrus, hes got the makings of being a star, he just needs mins, you give him 30+mins a game and he can have 18ppg,12 rpg and 2bpg easy, same thing with sepholosha and the big center GRAY, hes 7ft tall and real good in the post. the only game the bulls gave him mins he got over 20 rebs, that was on the last game of the yr. and noce is the sparkplug from the bench, and his salary is just like 6mil a yr which i think is a bargain for someone that does so many things in the court like he does. i wouldve liked to acquire jermaine oniel for gordon and drew or gordon and hughs. or miamis 2 pick for the same thing, that way we would have beasly and rose!! imagine this rose, sefolosha, deng, beasly and noah and bench t thomas, hinrich, noce, gray... thats alot of talent, good for many yrs

Posted Sunday June 08, 2008, About: Bulls narrow coach search to two

how come they dont try to get vangundy?? hes defensive minded, he had the #1 defense with 2 diferent teams ( NY and hou), and ive heard he is open to offers

Posted Sunday June 08, 2008, About: Heat listening to trade offers

trade the #2 pick to chicago for ben gordon and larry hughs

Posted Saturday June 07, 2008, About: Who's next on Bulls coaching list?

jeff van gundy!!!!!

Posted Thursday June 05, 2008, About: Bulls interested in Hamilton?

no way the bulls will give up deng and gordon for hamilton. i dont even think theyll trade deng for hamilton, maybe gordon and duhon for hamilton, thatd be a good fit

Posted Monday April 21, 2008, About: Who's on Bulls short list?

vangundy would be great with the bulls

Posted Thursday February 28, 2008, About: Bulls seek All-Star acquisition

the bulls already did the hardest thing, get rid of the huge contract of bigben. now they gotta get rid of larry hughs, yeah hes good, but hes almost 30, and earns over 12mil a yr. the bulls dont nead that at that position. id rather have hinrich at the point, sefolosha at sg and duhon and gordon backing them up. they can create a package of hughs and tyrus thomas for a post presence like JO. t mac is great but its not what the bulls need.thatll leave us wit a starting 5 of hinrich, sefolosha, deng, JO and noah, bench: gray, gordon, duhon, tyrus, noce and gooden. that team can win it all

Posted Saturday December 29, 2007, About: Pedro: 'I've always pitched clean'

hey, aaaredskin, what does that have to do with what the article says? thats a different story. i too admire pedro for accomplishing everything that he did without roids.

Posted Sunday December 23, 2007, About: Walton doubts Bulls ability

i dont know whats goin on, the bulls are supposed to be an even better team than last year??s. wallace is starting to look his age, hinrich is turnung the ball over like theres no tomorrow, an b gordon cant hit the ocean with a beachball. a change has to be made, now!!! before its too late
