A moment of silence for the departure of.....
Aaron Gray is no longer a bull. This is a sad day for the goofy jack haley benching cheering bulls center. i will shed tears now. they get back devin brown from the hornets who basically sucks at shooting but can play defense and is 6-5. The great white hope will be missed.

Welcome back Mad Dog!
He is brother is one of the highest paid pitching coaches in the MLB. Greg Maddux the sure fire hall of famer will be joining the cubs and helping their pitching staff this spring. Look, we know that Greg wont go into the HOF as a cub but he is one of the all time greats and it will be great to have around the cubs again. He was known to be more prepared than anyone and i'm sure his knowledge of the league and pitching can only help the cubs. Could this be a preview to him sharing the bench with another cub great in 2011???

Matt Holliday
god bless the cardinals. so far their signing of Matt Holliday is the best offseason news for a cubs' fan. Yes, Holliday is a good baseball player. Great, no way! Franchise player, not even close. But the cards decided to pay him 17 mill for the next 7 seasons. At the end of the contract he will be 36. St. Louis wave hello to your Soriano. A contract 3 years down the line will be head scratch and will kill your payroll and be absolutely immovalbe. Might Holliday be a good hitter for a time behind Pujols? Yep, absolutely. Who couldnt hit behind Pujols?
But consider not only did the Cards lock up a 30 year old outfielder for 7 more years but assuming they sign Pujols to a contract extension soon which i would imagine would be at least 20 mill per year for the best player in baseball. They have committed almost 40 million in payroll for a team that has never had a payroll over 100 million. Can you really win with a team that has 40% of its payroll in 2 players? There are still at least 23 more players needed on a team.
thank you cardinals for continuing christmas into january for cubs fans!

Fire him or support him!
the bulls need to do something. look i dont think Vinny will be the coach in June. I mean he doesnt help bring big name free agents to the bulls this summer so im sure he will be gone. But, Gar Foreman and Pax need to say either he is safe for this season or fire him right now and name an interim coach. This story has gotten ridiculous. And last night, Gar tries to address the issue and only says that Vinny is the coach right now. I dont understand what the problem is. Either you think Vinny gives you the best chance to win this year or you dont. If you dont, then can his ass. Any coach you try and bring in during the season probably cant install his own system anyway. I'm sick of this story. Do something either way.

Good win, another reason to can Lovie!
Look i am very happy the bears won last night. I love beating Brett Favre and the vikings. Love it. Plus i have been telling Elliott that the Bears could beat the vikes all year and he has called me crazy. Cutler looked great and the o-line played their best game of the year. But, i would like to place blame on Lovie for two problems. One, how have Devin Aromashadu and Craig Steltz been on the bench all year when they were the MVPs of this game and maybe the biggest factors in beating a team that could go to the superbowl?
Second and my biggest issue is how do you keep calling the cover - 2 defense after getting shredded by Favre. Lovie played the bullshit cover-2 D all 2nd half and just let Farve throw 8 yd passes and kill the bears. He rushed 4 and dropped the other 7 10 yards down the field. How do you not adjust your defensive playcalling after 23 straight points? Teams have realized how to beat the cover-2 and Lovie continues to call it. If he cant realize that as the defensive coordinator then why would i want him to be my head coach. Great win and here's to hoping it doesnt save Lovie's job!
T-Mac would look good in a bullies uni
Tracy McGrady has asked for a trade. Is he the T-Mac superstar of old? No, he isnt but do i think he could be a scorer for 20-25 mins a game. Absolutely! Considering how much the bulls have had problems scoring, why not ship Jerome James and his ridic salary to the Rockets for T-Mac's ridic salary and see if he can help the bulls. I mean James doesnt play and T-Mac's salary expires at the end of the year anyway. the bulls would have to throw in brad miller but would that really be that big of a loss. Just an idea.
