Let's try this for next year, eh?

It seems that Tony Pena is suffering from a mystery ailment . I'm no doctor, but I'm willing to bet that being fucking terrible is the likely culprit of this condition. Known symptoms are: continuing to suck, not having a breaking pitch, inability to consistently hit the strike zone, and making the rest of the White Sox bullpen look good. The hard luck loser here is Phil Humber, who gets put into the bullpen. That's right boys and girls - the guy who has been our best starter this season has just been sent to fill the void in the bullpen. Granted, we all knew that this "six man rotation" bullshit wasn't going to last, but everyone here knows that Edwin Jackson has been the weak spot in the rotation. Our starters have been amazing for the past month - why fuck it up now? Damn you Tony Pena.

A valiant effort after a great season but the Bulls just got their asses kicked out of the playoffs by the foot of the devil himself. As much as I hate LeBron, he just played one of the most dominant series I've ever seen. Miles between him and Rose at this point (although Rose is only 22 and doesn't have nearly the help that LeBron has on him team). Just for comparison, I'd love to see this Bulls team play last year's Cleveland team. I bet we would have beaten the shit out of them. Nevertheless, I think Joe Noah sums it up nicely (thanks Barstool ): Hollywood as hell, bro. A few observations to carry us through the offseason: 1) Loved the hard Boozer foul on LeBron. Should have been doing that all series. Unfortunately, because he's such a cheap, inflammatory asshole, he managed to jump start the Heat's comeback. I'm pretty sure I hate him. 2) Let's not get ahead of ourselves on Rose's "choke" - he's missed 2 FT's in the last 2 ga...

Flat out bullshit. This is considered good basketball? This is considered a "heads up play"? Fuck this, get me some motherfucking football. I would rather watch holocaust porn than watch that shit get applauded in a basketball game. Fuck fuck fuckity fuck

Not in our house. I hope LeBron gets cancer. Bulls in 7. -KEG

That. That, right there, is why I hate basketball. In what other sport are you not only able to be a gigantic pussy but are ENCOURAGED to do so in order to win? I mean, look at LeBron there - he is 100% flopping. The only way that could be a bigger flop is if he were advertising Gigli and the Rapture at the same time. Flat-out bullshit. You try that in any other sport, and you become a pariah immediately. In football? You want to claim that the bad man hit you? Shut your fucking face or you will be annihilated. Ditto for hockey - you stop play in hockey because you're missing too many of your teeth for you to close your mouth without gagging on the blood. Anything else and you play through it. Hell, people frequently come close to death in hockey and play doesn't stop until the guy is near death. The only other sport you can even come close with is baseball (let's face it, this is America, and therefore soccer is only good for watching the hot ass that the players import)....

This is where we fight! Game 3: tonight at 8:30ET. Important things to note (ie: the only things that matter): In a 7 game series, the team that wins game 3 wins the series 76% of the time . In the first 2 games, whichever team had the rebounding advantage won the game. The Bulls are the best rebounding team in the NBA ( by differential) . Miami is 3rd but almost 1/2 as effective as Chicago. Let's not make this any more complicated than it needs to be: Barkley said it , Kerr said it and even Simmons (despite his man crush on LeBron) agreed: the Bulls are a better team than the Heat, top to bottom. We have more weapons, a deeper bench and more consistent defense. The old mantra will always hold true: the better defensive and rebounding team will typically win. Game 2 was honestly a fluke - we shot 34% from the field, barely over 60% from the line and missed 17 layups (including Rose going 0-7 from inside 10 feet) and yet it was still a close/winnable game. In a series with some ver...

Hop on, plenty of room . After a long hiatus from the Dong (and nervously obsessing over the Bulls the past month), I was inspired to get back to work thanks to an awesome text message and a great line from a friend at work. First, the text message, from my friend Raanan who I haven't spoken to in over a year. He's from Cleveland. From Raanan : 10:18am "Please do not let that asshole make the Finals" That was pretty awesome. Then at work this morning, my buddy Scooter rolls in to recap the game and he says: "This is no longer the Chicago Bulls, it's the America Bulls. Nobody in their right mind wants that egomaniac to win a title. This is the best and last chance to stop him, maybe for a long time." Then I read Bill Simmons' article about Phil Jackson and reminisced about the Jordan days. How Jackson was able to control Jordan's intensity and obsession with winning and keep it from consuming his teammates (otherwise, he would have absolutely de...
