Bullieve It. They're bad... And That's Okay.

2013-12-19T00:46:00.001-06:00

There's way too much ground to cover between my last legit post and this one. So lets just jump right into business...
Is the current state of the Bulls fun to watch? No. Is it a seemingly endless marathon of pain and unfairness? Yes. We all know the past. We all know the current situation. What we don't know is the future. What does that leave us Bulls fans with? Hope... or in some cases, hopelessness. But please allow me to be one of the first (if not thee first) to say the circumstances of today could very well be the blessings of tomorrow. Hear me out...

Does it blow a pile of moldy donkey dick that Rose got hurt (again)? Yes. Did Chicago have championship aspirations for the other tenants of the Madhouse on Madison this season? Yes. Would Bulls fans make a sacrafice or two to get in Marty McFly's Delorean in an attempt to turn back the hands of time? You damn well better believe it. But lets face it... all that shit is out of our control. So getting back to the point, now we're left pondering the question of what's next? Well I'll tell you what's next. A shitload of promise and hope with a little faith sprinkled in. The promise lies within the (healthy) core of this team: Noah, Butler, Gibson, and Snell. Yes, as in Tony Snell. Trust me on this one. He's a keeper. Just give it a little time. The other three are locked up for a little bit, so there's nothing to consider there. Next is hope. The hope lies within our hopes of the front office. The hope is they do the right things at the right times. By that I mean specifically this season. Luol Deng is only going to increase his trade value this season with Rose being out. His minutes will remain high, he will most likely be the high points leader, and he will be relied on in clutch situations. There's no reason he can't be traded for an already established NBA player or a late first round pick. Now mind you, if the Bulls keep Deng off the books next season, that's nearly $14.3 million available.

(I guess this is the faith section) Next up? Boozer. Everybody wants to hate on Boozer. I, peronally, have no problem keeping him around. Yes, we're are all aware of his lack of his ability to defend and/or jump over a sheet of paper, but he puts up solid numbers and does a lot of solid work off the ball while on offense. I think people just want to hate on him because of the contract. It seems to be the reoccuring theme in Chicago... if you're a stud and you get paid near max money, you're deemed a need-to-be flushed turd after the first season or two of your contract. Getting back to the point, let's just say the Bulls amnesty Boozer. You know what that frees up against the payroll? $16.8 million! Is Boozer bad? No. But is he worth freeing up $16.8 million? I'm sure most would find a way to say 'yes' to that.

Off the top of my head, you know who else is coming off the books for $4 million? Kirk-"it wasn't me"-Hinrich!

Lastly, the Bulls have rights to Nikola Mirotic of Spain, who they could very easily bring over to the NBA next season. If you're not sure who he is, let's just say he's Tony Kukoc times two and then put on steroids.

So let's sum this thang up... The Bulls have a VERY solid core in place with Gibson, Butler, Noah, Snell, (sharp-shooting Dunleavy back next year), a superstar international pick from Spain waiting to come over, a recent NBA MVP chomping at the bit to come back, roughly $35 million in cash to spend, and if this current season goes bad enough, a top draft pick in a deep draft class. (Oh! And I nearly forgot an unprotected, potentially EXTREMELY HIGH draft pick from the Charlotte Bobcats for the Tyrus Thomas 2010 trade) Do things smell like shit right now? Yes. But they also did for Andy Dufresne before he crawled through 500 yards of sewage pipe after spending 19 years in prison, only to earn his freedom from Shawshank and end up living the rest of his days in paradise.

It's been a minute. Please leave a comment below to let me know if you still follow. I'm still alive and am thinking about putting gas in this car and getting it running again. Thanks.

I. HATE. YOU.

2012-01-29T18:22:00.000-06:00

Where do I begin? It's been a looooong time since I've been this emotionally charged from a basketball game. I want to say the last time was Bulls/Celtics first round playoffs with a triple overtime from a few years ago. But that doesn't really compare; because even that series had legit officiating that I couldn't complain about.

This afternoon's game put me (us) through the ringer: excitement, anger, hopefullness, optimism, pessimism, resentment, angst, and ultimately remorse. I'm not one for excuses. In fact, I HATE excuses. But today's game... today's game DEFINITELY warrants excuses. Let me start with the least significant and work my way up to the most...

CJ Watson out... That leaves John Lucas as the primary Rose backup. 'Nuff said.
Luol Deng..?

You know what? Screw it. I don't need to go through the details. You all saw the game. Bottom line. Cut and Dry. Plain and Simple. Black and white. That game was BULL SHIT!!!!! Even if the Bulls won, I would still say it was a steal. That officiating was unbelievable, practically one-sided, typical NBA favoring the favorite, getting the ratings garbage. Take your fucking pick...The OBVIOUS goaltend that wasn't called on Rose's layup in the first minute of the game. CONSTANT bitching, whining, moaning, complaining on ANY fould called against the heat until they get their way. Putting Rose in instant foul trouble on unwarranted calls. The unknown and unnecessary whistle after Lebron misses both free throws at the end of the game... that resulted in a jump ball that was basically more-less a referree-to-LeBron pass. (Which by the way is illegal. Lebron did not wait for the ball to reach it's highest point to touch the ball). Like I said, I'm not making excuses. I'm telling it how I see it. It seemed like every time the Bulls had a call go their way, the refs turned around and gave one to the Heat because it seemed like they 'owed' them one. Hell, I even predicted the Bulls would lose this game. I have no problem with the Bulls losing (well, yes i do), but it's that they lost on a bunch of bull shit that did nothing but help fuel the ego's of a bunch of overpaid, woe is me, classless clowns who's egos have no more room for any type of inflation. Yes, I know, Derrick Rose missed clutch free throws that could've changed everything. But the moral of the story is, the Bulls did not even have to be in that situation in the first place if it weren't for the officiating.

On one last note, allow me to list just a few more of the things I loathe about the Miami Gofuckyourselves. I mean Heat...
Lebron's Pubic Beard
Dwayne Wade - Sellout
Udonis Haslem. Nothing specific. Just hate him.
Lebron's face after any dunk. He seems to think that if he dunks the ball it's worth 5 points.
Erika Spoelstra's face. My God. That man has a face that NEEDS to be clubbed with a spiked bat.
Lebron James' smile. I feel like I'm looking at the root of all evil in the world every time I see his sly mug.
The Heat's PA announcer. Did he get that job from the make-a-wish foundation?
The Heat fans. Do they even know where they are?
HEY, DID YOU GUYS KNOW THAT LEBRON RODE HIS BICYCLE TO THE GAME TODAY?!?!? That's terrific. He rode his bike to the game then played basketball. TWELVE YEAR OLDS DO THAT EVERY FUCKING DAY IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER. What in the world was with the media coverage and that bike. It wasn't Noah's arc. It was a god damn bike!

I'll just stop here. My blood is boiling. I cannot process thoughts clear enough to type it all out in formidable sentences as rage takes over. It is just one feeling of hatred after another after another.

I'll leave by saying this: I would trade the next 15 years' chances of a Cub's World Series for the Bulls to win the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat, followed by an NBA title.

Thee end. Thanks for playing.

You Heard It From This Guy (::points two thumbs toward self::)

2011-05-25T13:36:00.000-05:00

If you’ve already put a nail in the Bull’s coffin, stop reading right now. Go ahead and click the small ‘X’ in the top right portion of your screen. I do not want to hear your crap about how insane, stupid, and ridiculous I am. So just save us both the trouble and turn around. This article is NOT for doubters and disbelievers; it is for the hopeful and optimistic. That said….

Stay with me here…Last night, after Derrick Rose missed the game winner I knew the game was over. I KNEW we could not beat them in overtime. We had our shot both literally and figuratively. Let’s be honest. That game decided the series. So, as predicted, I sat there angry, sad, bummed, and quite frankly crushed as the final horn sounded. I wanted to shatter my TV, with Lebron James’ face. I then went to bed telling myself the series is over, the season is over, and any chance of coming this close to the NBA finals again is a looooooong ways away. It’s a pretty empty feeling. I have nothing else to hold on to. I refuse to watch the Cubs right now. Baseball just isn’t doing it for me these days. I woke up this morning to the appropriately gloomy day feeling equally as gloomy. I attempted to figure out a way to put a positive spin on this whole thing, as a way to get me through this grieving process. I told myself to be grateful they even got this far. Be thankful for the fun ride, and be hopeful for the future. Yesterday our friend, the Chicago Bulls, were buried, and game 6 is the memorial service. Basically it was just a bunch of crap to try to make myself feel better.

Right then and there I had an epiphany. I don’t want to be thankful for the fun ride. I don’t want to be hopeful for the future. I don’t want to have to convince myself to settle for anything less than winning this series. I want to think about one thing, and one thing only: ripping the still-beating, cold, black hearts right out of the Miami Heat’s chest. What better way to do so than by coming back in this series?! Winning this series will be the one of the greatest moments in my entire sport watching life. With this in mind, I decided I’m going for it. I’m doing something I have NEVER done before. I’m rooting for this series with my heart and not with my head. I am totally investing my everything into this thing. When a team is down 3-1 and I hear people say, “It’s not over.”, “There’s still a chance.”, “You never know.”, and all that other optimistic garbage, I want to take a 7 iron to the back of his or her skull. But today I am one of those people. I don’t think I’m completely off my rocker either. Here’s why…

Did you forget about game 1? Did you forget about the bitch-slap the Bulls handed the Heat in that first game? Did you forget in both game 2 and game 3 the Bulls played absolutely terrible and still were in it until mid-way through the 4^th quarter? Did you forget that the Bulls were one single shot away from tying this series up at 2 games apiece and sending this back to Chicago with home court advantage regained? Did you forget WE have the MVP, Coach of the Year, and Stacey King? Well, if you forgot all that you need to get back to your assisted living facility.

We’re not going to lose tomorrow. It’s just not going to happen. The Bulls will not let this phenomenal season kamikaze itself on the court of the United Center. (After game 5, Heat 3 Bulls 2). This is where it gets tricky. The Bulls need to pull off a shocker and steal game 6 in Miami. I haven’t done the research, but I believe Miami is 8 and 0 at home this post season. I don’t see them stretching it to 9 and 0. They’re too due for a loss. Am I reaching in the bag here for an excuse for a win? Maybe. But who cares. You can’t have an epic series without winning an epic game, and this will be the one. (After game 6, Heat 3 Bulls 3) Now here we are, back in Chicago. Game SEVEN! Yes sur! GAME SEVEN!!! The most watched sporting event in the world since whatever Ali fight, or whatever lame Superbowl. We will all be leaving work early. We will all have lots of cold beer. We will all be gathered with whatever friend or family member that has the best television. And then it happens. The dynasty begins. Miami will crack under the pressure of blowing a 3-1 series lead, the Bulls will dominate with all their mighty momentum carrying them forward. Korver will finally hit clutch threes like he did all regular season. Noah will own the boards. Boozer will yell so loud in the microphone rim that it will explode. Scalabrine will be mean-muggin’ the TNT cameraman. Derrick Rose is gonna have 32 points, 12 assist, and 5 rebounds, and the list goes on.

Losing is not even a thought right now. I’m not bracing myself for any type of let down. I’m bracing myself for one of the greatest best of 7 series you could possibly bear witness to. We WILL walk happily into the sunset. (And hey, if I’m wrong….go Cubs?)

Bullieve.

Top 10 Reasons the Bulls Will Win It All

2011-04-16T22:13:00.000-05:00

Number 10.... Tom Thibedeau has an impossible name. And any man with an impossible name can not be beat.
Number 9.... Chuck Norris jokes can be applied to Omer Asik as well.
Number 8.... Carlos Boozer is the best 'scream into the rim microphone 'player in the East. Make that world.
Number 7.... Kyle Korver's Beiber hair.
Number 6.... If Boozer fouls out, Taj Gibson fouls out, and Kurt Thomas fouls out, Stacey King will suit up wearing a jersey named 'hot sauce' and score points until victory is declared.
Number 5.... The United Center is on the West side.
Number 4.... Derrick Rose is from Englewood. Need I say more?
Number 3.... Keith Bogan's packs heat. Score on him once you get the evil eye. Score on him twice, you get "inadvertantly hurt." Score on him three times, you get a cap in your ass.
Number 2.... Derrick Rose once slam dunked a Volkswagon in 5th grade.
Number 1.... Joakim Noah's pony tail.

Matt Garza? Yes Please!

2011-01-07T10:52:00.000-06:00

My very top secret inside sources tell me that the Cubs are very close to aquiring Matt Garza from the Tampa Rays.

"Cubs GM Jim Hendry is working feverishly to acquire Matt Garza from the Rays, according to Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald. The Cubs are getting set to send Chris Archer, Hak-Ju Lee, Brandon Guyer and Robinson Chirinos to Tampa Bay, according to Miles. There may be additional parts to the deal for each team."

I got two words to say to this. DO IT! If the Cubs can land Matt Garza I'll put their rotation up against anybody's in the NL Central. You gotta remember that Garza is comming from the AL East and has been facing the likes of the Yankees and Red Sox for the past few seasons. He would absolutely shred the NL apart. Chris Archer is a hell of a prospect to give up, but I'll be happy to trade away a prospect for an already established starting pitcher. Additionally, Garza is still young and isn't a free agent until after the 2014 season.
So here we are, the stars are aligned, the train has left the station, and yet something tells me Jim Hendry will ruin this. Even if he does miraculously land Garza, Hendry will probably end up slamming his pitching fingers in the limo door. Or perhaps he'll forget to sign the right paperwork, and end up accidentaly trading Garza to Japan's Hiroshima Carp baseball team. Well I must be going now. Stay tuned for updates. Or don't. I don't care. I just write this stuff because I like to practice typing.

Why Did It Have To Be Ronnie And Not This Boob?!?

2010-12-06T17:05:00.000-06:00

So far this off-season, Jim Hendry has done a great job doing what he does best: sucking at being a General Manager. Going into the annual winter meetings he has thus far missed out on landing Adrian Gonzalez, took a huge swing and a miss at Adam Dunn, gotten Paul Konerko to laugh at him, watched Lance Berkman sign with a divisional rival, had former starting shortstop/2nd baseman make a mokery of the team, and failed to move any of the bad contracts. There is some good news though!!!! Sleep easy people, Jim Hendry did manage to sign Jeff Baker to a 1 year deal. World Series here we come!

The Cubs are doomed. Plain and simple. I thought perhaps with adding a good first baseman, and a starter to the rotation and they would be fine. Now word on the street is that they are looking at James Loney at first. What a bunch of crap that is. I'd rather just sign Derrek Lee back. What's worse, is that the Cubs are owned by a man who knows as much about baseball as I do about whale fishing. I'm just going to quit while I'm ahead. If I continued to type about what a worthless piece of garbage Jim Hendry is, I won't have finger prints by days end.

1940-2010

2010-12-03T10:22:00.001-06:00

Forgetting the count, hell, forgetting the inning, mispronouncing names, calling a game as sharp as an eraser, interrupting the play by play man out of sheer emotion: things we hated about Ron Santo? No. Things we loved about Ron. As somebody once recently said, "There is not a single superstar in sports that is more relatable to their fans than Ron Santo. Not Michael Jordan, not Henry Aaron, not anybody."

A lot of people liked to ridicule Ron Santo for his not-so-great color commentary, as if the rest of us weren't already aware. Even Ron himself knew. But those same people that ridiculed, have zero concept of what it is to be a Cub fan. Ron Santo was the epitome and embodiment of what it is to be a Cub's fan. We didn't listen to him to hear how well he can call a game; that's what Pat Hughes was for. We listened to him because he was the only broadcaster that you could truely relate your ups and downs with. Listening to Ron reminded us that it isn't always easy to be a Cub fan, but we're all in this together. THAT, my friends, is what made him great.

The two things that make this so hard to take is that there is no walk into the sunset. Ron never got his World Series, and he never got his plaque hanging in the Hall of Fame. It is nearly unfathomable that a man who completely dominated the league at his position both offensively and defensively for an entire decade does not make it to the Hall of Fame. Perhaps a little divine intervention will finally put an end to this hideous 103 year streak. Rest in peace Ron Santo. You are irreplaceable, and will be forever missed as long as the game of baseball is played.

Hot Stove Courtesy of Chet Steadman...

2010-11-30T17:38:00.001-06:00

I gotta make this brief...

Ryan Theriot went to the Cardinals from the Dodgers. (Who cares?)

First base candidates for the Cubs: Lance Berkman, Carlos Pena, & Adam Dunn (doubt it) seem to be front runners.

Pitching interest for the Cubs: Brandon Webb, Jeff Francis, Erik Bedard, Aaron Harang. (All oft-injured players that will demand large contracts. Jim Hendry should have no problems with this one)

A deal is currently being negotiated to lock up Carlos Marmol long term. With the slider that boy throws, the Cubs should just be more concerned about his health care plan than the actual contract itself.

White Sox News...
Expect Paul Konerko to decline arbitration from the White Sox tonight. He won't be back next season with the White Sox. Trust me. I won't say this is comming from outside sources, because I AM the source.

According to the White Sox, A.J. Pierzynski was not offered arbitration. Not because they don't want him back. They just don't want to pay him north of $6.5 million.

Anybody know if Hawk Harrelson is still alive?

Kings Were Dethroned

2010-11-28T11:40:00.000-06:00

Bulls 96, Kings 85. Bulls were absolutely owned the first half, and absolutely did the owning in the second half. Bulls outscored Sacremento 52 to 28 in the final 2 periods. In my opinion, the Kings did a really good job shutting down Derrick Rose. You might say "but didn't Derrick have 30 points?" Well yes, he did. But the way he was attacking and getting stopped, he could've went off for an easy 40.

After 12 long years, a winning circus trip tastes great, but I have to say, this whole - being down by 20 and comming back to win it - is getting really old. I hope the Bulls are aware fans won't be mad if every game is a blowout. I don't need an entertaining, exciting comeback every...single...game. Before I sign off, I would just like to add, the Bulls had a chance to win every single one of the circus trip games. They had a late lead in everyone of them. You know what would've given us a 7-0 circus trip? Carlos Boozer. It's just a matter of time till utter dominance. Tick-Tock biatches! Stay classy San Diego.

John Lucas III Needs To Find A New Profession Immediately

2010-11-27T11:20:00.001-06:00

Wow. The Bulls were 2 free throws away from a guaranteed winning circus trip for the first time since 97-98. John Lucas did his best to make sure this wasn't the case. First off, Thibadeou never should've put him in, in that situation in the first place. Secondly, Lucas didn't just miss TWO huge free throws, he straight up clanked them. Talk about shitting the bed and rolling over in it. You could blind fold me, spin me in a circle for 2 minutes, kick me in the crotch, an I could still shoot better free throws than that. This is one tough pill to swallow. All I can say is hopefully D-Rose comes out with a firey pissed off vengeance against Sacremento this evening.

On a more positive note, C J Watson, well done chap. Its about damn time somebody steps up like they got a set on this team (other than Rose). This game would've been over before it started had it not been for Watson.

Lakers Squeak By Bulls

2010-11-24T10:03:00.000-06:00

With nobody willing to share any of the load with Derrick Rose the ~~refs~~ Lakers defeated my Chicago Bulls last night 98-91. It's nice to say we had probably the best team in the league against the ropes for most of the game, but great teams find ways to win these games. Sure we almost took down the Spurs, the Celtics, AND the Thunder, but almost doesn't cut it. To say "well Bull's fans, be happy, at least you hung in there with the best" is the same thing as saying "well, be happy, your almost a great team." I'm still not changing my stance on this team though. I still say the Bulls are one of the top 5 teams in the league (top 3 in the East) when Boozer gets back. The Bulls desperately need that post presence and another player to shoulder some of the load. Boozer is that man.

On another note, did anybody else happen to notice announcer Neil Funk's facination with actor Chris O'Donnell last night? He calmly named off all the camera shots of Denzel Washington, Jack Nicholson, Frank Robinson, potential future Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emmanuel, and CHRIS O'DONNELL! THERE HE IS, CHRIS O'DONNELL IS HERE EVERYBODY. THE FINE ACTOR CHRIS O'DONNELL! I'm not sure if Neil Funk is married and/or has kids, but I'm pretty sure if he does, it's with Chris O'Donnell. Or maybe he just reeeaaaalllllyyyy loves batman. Whatever. Get back in the kitchen and finish my turkey.

Darn You 3rd Quarter!

2010-11-18T10:44:00.001-06:00

Can somebody please explain what happened? I’m baffled, flabbergasted, appalled, disappointed, and confused. (To name a few) How do the Spurs score just 37 points in the entire first half, and then go off for 37 in the third quarter alone?!? Equally as puzzling, how do the Bulls manage just 12 points in the third quarter? Maybe the Bull’s were distracted knowing Eva Longoria is back on the market. I bet that’s it. What a distraction. Those poor Bulls. How can anybody be harsh on them after that loss? It’s like asking me to play Mozart with Jessica Biel sitting on top of the piano. Well, I’m just happy that they’ve gotten this loss out of their system, and now we can focus on destroying Dirk Nowitzki (who reminds me of the guy from the movie The Mask. The original…not the one with Jim Carrey) and the Dallas Mavericks.

Bull's Rim...

2010-11-17T22:28:00.000-06:00

Has a lid on it in the second half. That's the only logical explanation I can offer. Outscored 31-8 with 2 min left in the 3rd. This one's ova!

Spurs Favored by 7.5

2010-11-17T14:32:00.001-06:00

While tonight's game against the 8 and 1 San Antonio spurs will be a wee bit tougher than last night's; I fully anticipate a close game and/or yet another Bull's victory. This is only the second time thus far this season the Bulls have had to play on back to back nights, so their legs may be a bit tired. I am expecting a lot more out of Luol Deng tonight. SOMEBODY has to step up and be another scorer on this team. It certainly doesn't seem to be Ronnie Brewer or C.J. friggen Watson. Rose can't just keep carrying the load night after night. The Spurs play great defense and will not allow the Bulls to run up and down the court like wild banshees. The Bulls MAY lose this game tonight, but it will not be by more than 7.5 points. If Chicago can get the W, they will prevent the greatest start to a season in Spur's history.

Speaking of the Spurs....There's a little distraction on that team by the name of Tony Parker. Apparently this dumb-shit has been cheating on his wife Eva Longoria, so today she filed for divorce. It get's better. He's been cheating on her with the wife of a teammate! If it's Tim Duncan's wife, consider this game a lock for the Bulls. Tim Duncan would murder Tony Parker on the court with his bare hands, then slam dunk his head. More importantly, why in the hell does Tony Parker feel the need to cheat on Eva Longoria?!?!? He must know something we don't know to do something this dumb. My guesses are the following: A. She grew a penis. B. She grew a tail (like the guy in Shallow Hal) C. She has SARS, West Nile, AND Swine flew. D. She grew a penis. Whatever it is, I feel Tony truely owes it to society to share his reason with the rest of us. What a jerk. Go Bulls.

Too Big, Too Fast, Too Strong...Too Good!

2010-11-17T10:23:00.000-06:00

The D-Rose train is headed full steam ahead into San Antonio tonight on part two of the 7 game road trip. But before I get ahead of myself, allow me to backtrack to yesterdays game. First off, Derrick Rose is an animal. I'd say beast, but he's more than a beast. He's bar-none thee best point guard in the league. Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo, yeah I know, blah blah blah. Rose's speed and ability to take over during any point in the game are second to none. Plain and simple, the Bulls are not a good team without him. With Derrick sitting, Houston managed to go on a 13 to 4 run. They put Derrick back in and the Bulls go on an 18-0 run, with Rose scoring 14 of those 18. If you read the article below, I was pretty much dead on with that game. 4 wins in a row, first place in the central, 3 games over .500. Let's keep this gravy train rollin!

Let The Games Begin

2010-11-16T15:28:00.000-06:00

Tonight marks the beginning of the annual circus trip for the Chicago Bulls. The annihilation of the Houston Rockets tips of at 7:30 PM. Houston is favored by two. This will not cover. You heard it, yet again, from me first. The Bulls will win this game with ease. Derrick Rose is going to shoulder a lot of the load with this game. Expect him to put on a clinic. Da Bulls are red hot, rolling, and ready to kick ass and take names. So listen, I gotta go. I have pre / during / and post game celebration to ensue regardless of the outcome. Expect a lot from CSBblabber tomorrow. Hang in there, and see you on hump day.

Mr. 3 pointer, Kyle Korver, will not be around for at least the beginning of the annual circus trip (starting Tues in Houston). Apparently he has a boo-boo in his knee and is getting an MRI sometime soon. There are no other details than that. I’m sure we’ll find out more once the MRI is complete.

Fun facts:

Did you know at one point, the Bulls had lost 37 straight circus trip games? That’s right folks. 37. That’s almost half a season’s worth of consecutive losses. You'd think they would be called the "Detroit Bulls", because everything in Detroit sucks.
Last year, Joakim Noah discovered from the media why the annual road trip is called the “circus trip.” ….Answer: Because the Ringling Bros., Barnum & Bailey Circus moves into the United Center for about two weeks, forcing the Bulls and Blackhawks to hit the road. Here was Joakim’s response to that…”“That’s why they call it the circus trip?” Noah said. “I was like, ‘Why do they always call it the circus trip? What’s so circus about it?’ I didn’t even know that.”” Gotta love Jo.

Ryne Sandberg Makes It Official: Jim Hendry is a Jackass.

2010-11-15T11:09:00.001-06:00

Well it's been confirmed. Ryne Sandberg has accepted an offer to become the next AAA manager for the Phillies. This comming after being burned on the Cub's head managerial position, turning down the offer to return back to the Cub's farm system, and stating his goal is to manage on a major league team this year. I know that might be a lot to take in, so let me disect: Jim Hendry blew smoke up Sandberg's backside for 4 years and iced it with a dagger in the back. So fittingly, Ryne Sandberg politely displayed his middle finger and showed himself the door. Good for Ryne. I'm not sure I can trust a man whose first name is spelled wrong anyways.

The Harry Caray statue was damaged outside of Wrigley on Friday when a vehicle accidentally clipped the side of it. Damage was relatively severe, but knowing the Cub's organization, they will most likely try to trade the damaged statue for Ryan Theriot back.
Saturday night the Bulls did what they do best by defeating and deflating the Washington Wizards. John Wall checked back in to Reality Town as Derrick Rose showed him how da thugs from Englewood ball. Kirk Hinrich also made his first trip back to the United Center donning a Wizards uniform. He spent the evening reminding us why he is not needed in ~~the NBA~~ Chicago. He went an astounding 3 for 4 totaling 1 steal, 1 block, and 8 points. And if I'm not mistaken, up until the 4th quarter, he had only even attempted 1 shot. After the game, I knelt down beside my bed, put my hands together, and thanked the Lord that sonuva bitch isn't on the Bulls anymore.
The Blab would also like to send a very special shotout to the Chicago Bears on their biggest win of the season Sunday afternoon.

THAT IS HOW IT'S DONE.

Look out everybody, and I do mean everybody. The Bulls are on a tear, and I don't see this thing slowing down any time soon. Do you see that score?!? 120 to 90. That's one hundred and twenty to ninety. A difference of 30 points. The Warriors are lucky it was only 30. Just wait till Boozer gets back. This team is going to be unstoppable. They WILL finish in the top THREE in the East. Quote me on that. Go ahead. Get a pen and paper. It's ok, I'll wait......Good. Bulls dominated in every single facit of that game last night. If I was a member of the Golden State Warriors, I wouldn't show up for work anymore. I would head straight to the nearest community college, sign up for classes, and begin a new career. If people asked for my employment history, I'd rather say I worked at a dog shelter and spent my days putting puppies to sleep, than say I played basketball for the Warriors. What a great Friday. Bull's win, Heat lost (AGAIN), and there's beer in the fridge. Looks like it's going to be victory chicken for lunch today.

Alexei Ramirez Wins Silver Slugger

2010-11-11T18:15:00.000-06:00

Alexei Ramirez became the first White Sox shortstop to win the Silver Slugger today. For the season he batted .282 batting average, 18 home runs, 252 total bases and a .431 slugging percentage. He was second with 70 RBIs and third with 165 hits, 83 runs and 29 doubles.

Who would've thought a 6"2 170 pound man from Pinar del Rio, Cuba, that looks like he's been dieting on insects his whole life, would win the Silver Slugger Award for the Chicago White Sox. Congrats Alexei. Job well done. When asked for a comment on receiving the award, the shortstop simply replied with a series of blinks and tongue clicks as flies landed about his face.

Grow Up You Two.

Here's what Joakim Noah had to say about Kevin Garnett on ESPN 1000's Waddle and Silvy Show....

"Kevin Garnett will not -- will not -- get a Christmas gift from me. I don't like him.""He's a very mean guy. Where's the love? None at all. Ugly, too. I had his poster in my room. I used to wear his jersey. And the truth is my rookie year, I was in admiration of this guy, and he kind of shut me down. And he was very mean to me my rookie year. And he's only mean to the young guys and the [European players], for some reason. I don't know why, but that's who he doesn't like. He's not nice. I talk a lot of trash out there, but c'mon, be a little sensitive. Be sweet."

First off, shut up. Both of you. Just shut up. First, Garnett's whole media blown cancer comment towards Piston's Charlie Villanueva, and now this. Secondly, Noah, are you seriously calling somebody else ugly. That's not even the pot calling the kettle black. That's the decayed blood sausage calling the gangrenous scrotum nasty. Joe, I can take this with a grain of salt, A. because you're right, and B. because I know you're a jokester. But you can't start anything like this with that emmotional clown. I think Joakim has got to be the A.J. Pierzinsky of basketball. You love em if you got em, and hate em if you don't. Noah might not have the future Hall of Fame career under his belt that KG has established, but I will say this...This year, and every year moving forward, I'd rather have Joakim on my team that KG. At least Noah has some credentials (and balls) to backup his mouth. If you don't know Joakim Noah or don't understand his brutal, sometimes humorous, honesty; take a look at the video below.
