This lockout is depressing

We’ve been locked out for two days. Two. I’m already crushed. We haven’t missed games. We haven’t missed training camp. We haven’t missed anything except the rumors of free agent signings in which the Bulls likely wouldn’t have been much of a player anyway. Yet, despite that, the lockout weighs on heavily on me. The... Read more »

Baseball, the least strategic and least explosive, an anomaly of sports

I’m going to take a break from the breaking down the Bulls / Timberwolves game.   If you didn’t see it, imagine that you did see it, think what would have likely happened in a game where a team on pace to win 60 games plays a team on pace to win 20 games.  ... Read more »

White Sox lots of money spent, not so good.

So the Bulls are out there cautiously avoiding the luxury tax while generating massive profits every year while the White Sox are throwing money around willy-nilly trying to get up to .500.  I wrote two articles on massive expenditures of the White Sox this year on Peavy and Rios and was met with criticism over...

Reinsdorf closing in on Coyotes

One of the major hurdles of Reinsdorf’s pursuit of the Phoenix Coyotes has been cleared as he came to an agreement with one of the largest creditors about paying down the debt.

Sox get Rios, Bulls get Pargo

So my argument that spending huge money on Peavy proves Reinsdorf loves the Sox more than the Bulls wasn’t too moving to a lot of you.   Different sports, different rules, Peavy’s awesome, Gordon stinks etc, etc.. How about spending 59.7 million dollars on Alex Rios?   Are you going to tell me this guy is also... Read more »

Does the White Sox getting Jake Peavy depress or inspire you?

I previously blogged about the trade when it was possible before and discussed Reinsdorf’s aversion to spending on the Bulls relative to the White Sox as well.   Now Sox fans should be thrilled with this trade, but how about Bulls fans? Does this enrage you that Ben Gordon wasn’t good enough to spend on... Read more »

Reinsdorf spends on Peavy, how about on Bulls?

So much has been made of the luxury tax and how the Bulls must avoid it like the plague, or how they will only pay it for a winner.    Enter Jake Peavy to the White Sox.   How can the same ownership group look Bulls fans in the eye after attempting to get Peavy and... Read more »
