    Pacers sign Georges

    Macaulay Culkin may have won that exchange, but Georges will have a better career.

    MLB: ***Official 2016 WORLD SERIES CHAMPION Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

    Fundamentals...walks, errors, and extra bases. That's 3 out of Pittsbugh's 5 runs that were gifts today...coupled with another day of not being able to hit with RISP.

    MLB: ***Official 2016 WORLD SERIES CHAMPION Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

    Were the Pirates 14 or 15 games back a few weeks back? Looking like it'll be down to 5.5 after today unless the Cubs decide to start pitching, start fielding the ball, and start getting a timely hit every once in a while.

    Heyward can't put the ball in play with 1st and 3rd and a chance at a big inning...Baez has time to gather himself and throw a guy out by 2-3 steps but chucks it down the right field line, leading to 2 runs scoring that wouldn't have... This feels like a nightmare of garbage baseball on a...

    In the past 21 games the bullpen has had to throw at least 3 innings 16 times...now it's catching up on them as they've given up 16 runs in their last 17 innings.

    They haven't done the fundamentals well the last few weeks... So far tonight thru just 5 innings.. -a Brave reached base on a dropped third strike -Bryant got doubled off base on a fly ball and essentially ended a golden scoring opportunity -Hammel doesn't get a bunt down that would've gave...

    NBA: ***Official NBA Offseason Thread***

    http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago-bulls/post/_/id/23340/bulls-ecstatic-to-land-wade-avoid-total-rebuild I completely understand people not liking Gar and Pax...what I don't understand is how anyone could be upset about essentially giving up Calderon and Dunleavy for 2 years of Wade, especially...

    NBA: ***Official NBA Offseason Thread***

    Curious as to who those that are upset the Bulls signed Wade think they should've signed? You realize he had the Heat within 1 game of the Eastern Conference Finals and there's nobody else out there right now right?.. I've gotten annoyed with a lot of the things Gar and Pax have done as...

    The Bulls improved from this move far more than Cleveland. Why anyone would get upset about THIS particular move is beyond me. Who were they going to get better than Wade? It's a 2 year deal, not a 5-6 year deal, and next year the salary cap will take another hike and they'll have a chance...

    Signing Wade will have the Bulls as a better team for the next 2 years than going out and getting a 22 year old on the market that can shoot 3's. Miami was nowhere near being better without Wade last year. He lead them within 1 game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    NBA: ***Official NBA Offseason Thread***

    Because getting Wade and dropping Dunleavy is such a downgrade? Wade averaged 19, 5, and 5 in the first round against Charlotte, and 24, 6, and 4 against Toronto leading Miami within 1 game of the Eastern Conference Finals. Somehow he's managed to survive without the 3-ball being a big part of...

    I like the move. It makes them better, period. Watching Wade in the playoffs it's clear the guy can still play...it's a clear upgrade over what they had, and with it only being a 2 year deal, it's not like they're committing themselves to paying him 4-6 years down the road when he can't get it...

    The Deandre Kane Quiz!

    When DeAndre committed, Bob Huggins said, 'he'll be the best player in the conference at getting into the paint'...he was right. DeAndre was TOUGH. So many players let their offense dictate the rest of their game. You could always count on DeAndre though even if his shot wasn't dropping...

    2nd straight game with 0 extra base hits. If they lose one of the next two they'll have lost 4 of their last 5 series... Can't win the World Series in May though, and they've got a 5 game lead on the division. They'll be fine.

    FAWcast: Tim Floyd, Malou & hardcore hoops talk

    I think that's a fair point too.. It's just my opinion (doesn't mean I'm right), and my response to Adam questioning why people would still complain during the Hoiberg era despite seeing sustained success that the program hadn't seen before.

    FAWcast: Tim Floyd, Malou & hardcore hoops talk

    Based off of playing consistent defense over the course of 30+ games. How many close games did we lose with Clyburn/Babb/Ejim because we couldn't get a stop to save our lives? They were on the bubble heading into March and ended up being a 10 seed that NOBODY wanted to play. I'm not saying...
