RRRR: 42 Saint Bernards

PrintIt's been nine days and almost a thousand comments, but someone's gotta take out the trash. Sometimes I feel like I do all the heavy lifting on South Side Sox from 12-4 AM on Sundays. It ain't easy, believe you me.
Do you like dags? Here, watch this video.
On Monday, I have an appointment to wash one of these beasts. Admittedly, the ones in the video look a bit bigger than my family pooch; most of those look like males. It's no easy chore; besides taking two people to physically lift her into the tub, she looks absolutely miserable for the solid 45 minutes it takes to get her "clean," which is usually ends up being marginally cleaner and less stinky compared to her normal state. Oh, and the hair... holy lord, the hair. It never ends. But what can I do? She's just so damn lovable, and even more so when slightly cleaner.
So have at it, Rumpuniers, Rumpafarians and Rumpatarians. Just so it's not lost towards the end of an enormous thread, I say we start by giving Shoeless some quality doing-things instruction and introduction to our fair city. Step 1: Take in a Sox game. Step two: cry at the beauty of it all (and because Bruce Chen crushed your one wish for the week). Step 3: see the Bean, because it's there. Step 4 is up to the rest of you. I'm spent.

Shoeless,
Just watch Ferris Bueller’s day off and do whatever he does. CUB FAN!

While the sculpture was being constructed, public and media outlets nicknamed it “The Bean” because of its leguminous shape, a name that Kapoor described as “completely stupid”. Months later, Kapoor officially named the piece “Cloud Gate”.

Yeah, one of the few extremely touristy things that I would actually recommend to friends and family.
Probably that and the architectural boat tour. Which could be added to the list, Shoeless.

i’d say blues fest but youre here a month early.
maybe jazzfest or something will be going on
eh. dunno if it makes up for the shortfall in awesome view.
i can’t decide whether the view is better at night though. probably sunset would be the best time to go up.
If you do the boat tour, make sure it's the one I linked to (the Architecture Foundation one).
I hear other ones are not nearly as good.

i do support the boat tour.
thats very nice.
and i suppose since you are over there you should stop at the bean… just to see how dumb it is and come back and agree with me.

I do that too. It's a bit different viewing it distorted through an impressive sculpture though (and all the sky it captures). It's a piece of art built to reflect the gorgeous cityscape.
And as joewho said, it’s whimsical. Ever sit down for a while and watch all the kids running around, marveling at it? It evokes goofiness and smiles of nearly everyone who encounters it. I don’t know why someone wouldn’t appreciate that.

I never considered the bean from that perspective before.
Thanks for the insight. I tend to think similarly to KenWo on some stuff like this – I lack the ability to comprehend much art. I’ve only seen the bean and thought “I don’t get it”. But appreciating it for the reactions others have to it is interesting.
Of course, others like “American Idol” and Katy Perry and tomatoes, so there’s something to said for trusting my own instincts :-)

yeah, i can't really explain it.
when i used to run through the park early in the morning i’d finish near the bean.
if no one is around and there’s a little chill in the air and a bit of dew on the grass, looking at that thing while catching my breath…it’s a bit of serenity that those of us downtown rarely get.

The technical craft of the bean is amazing
It’s not a single blobby piece of metal, but made out of many pieces and welded so well that the seams are virtually invisible. To make it look that effortlessly made is the art. I think that’s where a lot of people get hung up about modern art, because a lot of it looks like it would be so easy (or lazy) to make, when in fact it’s actually very well thought out, excruciatingly painstaking in craft and perfectly executed. It’s kinda like Big Frank’s swing. It looks so effortless, heck, almost too graceful for such a big guy, but that’s because he spent 10,000 hours in the cages perfecting it.

He was a zero on offense already
I don’t think there’s any change, he’s basically the same player he was last year. Unfortunately, I think everyone was hoping for a modicum of improvement on the offensive end.
by Yinka Double Dare on Feb 21, 2012 11:56 AM CST up reply actions
Yes offensively he has no doubt
He still brings the ball down too often and allows smaller players to block and smack the ball out of his hand. What he honestly needs is a bit of a mean streak. I still love his defense and I’m high on him.

If there’s some things that I absolutely must see while I’m on the South Side that Saturday and downtown that Friday, let me know here and now.
Also...
we’re thinking of honeymoon vacation spots. She’s stuck on Portland, Maine. It’ll be June, so it should be pleasant. Anyone ever been? All I can find online are museums, Allagash brewery, the Red Sox’ minor league team, and the port nearby where I presume we can go on a boat and do some tours or fish.
portland is kind of a dump actually.
If her heart is set on that region its worth the extra hour in the car and the more expensive lodging to head up to bar harbor and acadia national park. We were out there last summer.
you can rent mountain bikes and take in the trails.
boat tours and charter boats too since you mentioned those
acadia is fantastic. sunset(or sunrise) from mount cadillac is bucket list worthy.

All this Bean talk got me to thinking about one of the many times I've driven to Snoqualmie Falls to take in the calming grandeur of something as seemingly simple as rushing, falling water.
I took my mom and sister there on a weekday this past October. There weren’t too many tourists or people around on that super rainy autumn day.
However, a school bus pulled up just as we were getting out of the car. We hurried along to the falls to beat the crowd off the bus. I remember remarking how there were soon to be a bunch of kids surely getting in my way.
After several minutes observing the falls from a lower platform, we were walking up to a higher platform to take in another view. The bus had finally unloaded and the kids started running up to the scene, two or three at a time. They were around 5 or 6 years old.
I lingered behind while my mom and sister ascended, because the reactions of the children upon beholding the falls for the first time in their little lives was incredibly special. I know I personally still get chills when I see the falls, or any number of natural beauties that can stun me in my tracks; even as an adult who has seen a lot of wondrous nature over the years.
But to stand by and observe child after child approach and react to such a sight was purely awesome. They had no control over themselves. Most of them shrieked with delight and awe, totally unprepared for what they were seeing.
Despite the falls being ever-beautiful, witnessing those kids responding to it was the most powerful thing I wound up seeing that day.

i still play fantasy basketball. rose was my first pick. he's been terrible this season.
injuries etc. i got to see him live hoping he’d change my mind about him. he didn’t.
i’ll tell you who can play… Kris Kardashian or whatever his name is. that dude is a baller.

I actually went to a Bulls v. Nets game this year and Humphries was brutal that game
he must suck
It came from afar and traveled sedately on, a shrug of eternity
i picked him in the last round and he's averaging a double/double.
now thats value!
Kenwo4life=ratings. Just call me Mr. USA Today.
OK, we've gotten to the root of your disdain
its because his season has been injury riddled and he is sharing the load with others on the team more this year that makes you think he is overrated because it all boils down to the fact you are in last place in your fantasy league and all your friends are probably giving you shit.
It came from afar and traveled sedately on, a shrug of eternity
well. sort of.
my friends aren’t giving me shit… and i’m not in last… but i’m not in the playoff picture either. 7th of 10. fucking rose has done nothing for me. i’m relying on kris humprhies to carry the load for christ sake!
This is my team. they are all injury prone dick wads.
Rose, Rondo, Jason Richardson, Andre Miller, Stephen Curry (another POS if you ask me…and a disgrace to his father Dell’s name), Caron Butler, Humprhies, Taj Gibson, Serge Ibaka (he’s been decent too, at least i win blocks a lot), Amare Stoudemire, Dejuan Blair, Kevin Garnett, Shawn Marion, Lamar Odom and CJ Miles.

you're assuming i don't know basketball.
i do. i am a hell of a basketball coach. i used to follow the nba closely (not as close as baseball but more than the NFL). after jordan retired i started to shy away from it. i also didn’t like many of the players other than shaq in the early 2000s. then i got married. it became apparent that i couldn’t keep up watching every baseball, basketball, nfl and WWE event that came on tv and still have a happy marriage. i had to lose one. i chose basketball because i had lost interest in it.
Kenwo4life=ratings. Just call me Mr. USA Today.
Do you understand why i think it is stupid to call a player overrated by watching him LIVE only once
especially considering the circumstances. If I remember correctly you were excited to go see him play so don’t act like this is how you’ve felt all along. You’re just pissed he isn’t as valuable in fantasy as he is in the real world. If you knew anything about basketball or had been watching his career progress you wouldn’t be such an ignoramous. I get it, you try to be a contrarian on everything just to be controversial and show your superior independant thought process. Rose is just damn good and he is the best young point guard to come around in a while. Shit he’s 23 and has already won an MVP, how could you call THAT overrated?

Yeah, I watched the game along with 95% of every Bulls game since he was signed.
He’s been much better this season but the fact remains is he’s an undersized power forward with very little lift. Against athletic or bigger forwards he struggles to get his shot off and relies on a midrange jumper. He never sets hard picks, almost always preferring to slip the screen even though he can’t finish inside with any authority.
I wish Boozer was better so I wouldn’t feel like Miami has a 95% chance of beating Chicago in a playoff series.

one of my most hated teams (porto) has filed a complaint against manchester city. why? because they are angry that machester city filed a complaint when they played at porto because two of their players were racially abused. so, what were porto complaining about? they are upset that manchester city fans were chanting unsporting things about one of their players. what were they chanting? well, you see, the player in question is called “hulk” and the fans were chanting “you’re not incredible!”

Play a hand with me? (Baseball style)
Is a popular series in poker forums in which a hand a person’s hand is played over street by street and the collective group offers opinion and strategy. In a very very loose form I’d like to borrow that.
Play a challenge with me? I’m passing on the traditional fantasy baseball league this year and will do CDM’s $50,000 challenge. This is one of those salary cap games in which your roster fits under the cap and you compete roto style league/division/overall.
My RR project and team name for the challenge South Side Sox. I’d like to build my team and play this season with contributions from posters (fantasy players or just knowledgeable baseball fans alike) and post from time to time results and get suggestions from a different perspective. These games are about value but they also about noticing x player is pretty freaking hot and a comment like “T why haven’t you look at player x could be very helpful.”
I’m covering all expenses and will probably just do the unlimited transaction feature which comes in between $300-$450. What’s in it for SSS? Why the fuck would I help you tdogg or even give a shit?
1. Well its baseball and fun.
2. I work for a collaborative company (lets collaborate!)
3. After expenses I’ll share winnings 50/50 up until $2500 minus taxes with the site (So roughly a chance for about a grand for future methups, tickets etc. basically whatever hsa or Jim can wrap their heads around to do the most good)
4. In the “obviously” unlikely event I win a really cool sporting news story goes out about the “real” white sox fan site and how they “obviously” should be running the real fucking team.
Anyway I’m playing regardless and I suspect if I do a decent job of updates folks might eventually care during the season and actually want to help. Thoughts?

i thought so, too
until i rented a 2010 camaro ss at a wedding down south. It had like 250 miles on it at the time.
I couldn’t sleep I had so much adrenaline pumping through my veins the whole trip.
The sun was about to set and we were 15 miles from the beach. I went so fast we traveled back in time and made it in time for a romantic sundown.
It was great. I’ve owned pretty sweet muscle cars, the best being a 71 cutlass convertible with the 350 rocket.
I’d take that camaro with 40 years of technological advances over it 9 out of 10 times.
actually the best might have been my 77 CJ7 with a t-176 4 speed and a 360 from a J-10 in it running open headers straight to side pipes. It sounded amazing on lower wacker drive, let me tell you. 35" gumbo monster mudders for shoes. It topped out at about 65 mph but nothing could touch it 0-60. It was such a torque monster I carried spare u-joints in the glove box.
SSE and U-Dog, how did you manage to stay so active in that BCB thread?
That fellow was a tad ridiculous.
I walked away from it last night because the guy is beyond stubborn.

he'd actually been playing slightly better of late.
whole thing is starting to feel like a sinking ship now. i’d be very surprised if they didn’t stick with wenger through next season, but he needs a spectacular summer signing or three to arrest the freefall.
how's this for an idea?
suspend liverpool for the rest of the year for being colossal twats. don’t let them play any more games, just place them 7th so they have to play in the europa league next year. then, for pure entertainment purposes, make arsenal and chelsea play each other every game for the rest of the season. depending on your rooting interest every match would provide either great mirth or great sadness. then, at the end of the season merge the two teams (they could either be called charsenal or arsea) and let wenger and AVB take turns managing them.

he is a bit of twat, but a good manager. doesn’t seem to get a decent chance once he brings a team up.

even though i’m rooting against them i have a feeling they may stay in the fight for fourth. arsenal and chelsea have just been so bad. if i had to choose one of them that i wanted to finish 4th i would choose newcastle.

milan-juventus yesterday was great.
barcelona had a very tough win today at atletico. the first half of real madrid-rayo vellecano was crazy. ramos should have been sent off. (he should be sent off pretty much every game) madrid gets away with murder. i’m going to watch the second half now.

I managed to see four of the ten Best Pic nominees.
I’m not so sure The Artist wasn’t the best of them.

Somewhere in the "meh" range.

"Definitely typing challended today" - polodude017
Funny, I saw three films this week - The Descendants, The Artist, and 50/50.
50/50 was certainly the most moving (I think it was probably snubbed for predictability). I’m disappointed that Joseph Gordon-Levitt didn’t get a Best Actor nom.

Does anybody have any suggestions for the best kind of tv with which to view baseballsed?
Plasma or LED or LCD? HZ? I currently view on 42" Samsung LCD but my basement has been made to be more cozy and livable since last October and like a good blogite I am going to make that my viewing center. All I have downstairs is a 32" LCD and am going to upgrade to the 47" – 55" range.
It came from afar and traveled sedately on, a shrug of eternity
I'm a fan of plasmas
but the last time I looked seriously was 2 years ago. at that time you couldn’t get a better picture than a good plasma, but they have downsides like higher heat and energy use, sometimes picture burn in (I don’t have a problem on my 4 year old Samsung). My brother’s 2 year old Panasonic also has no problems.
The heat and the energy is a big concern with the plasmas, that's for sure.
New LED LCDs are just beauty. Recently got the wife a new LED LCD monitor and the thing is just gorgeous. Granted it’s only 24", so I don’t know how well the technology scales, but I think right now it’s the sweet spot.

i've been through something like 6 tv's in 6 years, and i keep coming back to the plasmas.
i despise lcd for it’s washed out look especially from side angles. the led’s seem hit or miss as far as picture quality. i guess it’s what you pay in that regard. i’m still looking for the holy grail of pristine panning without blur. the only thing about plasmas is they reflect light so you need to have a sunless room. some people it doesn’t bother though.

that's the biggest thing. i've got a 50" plasma with a 32" lcd in my living room, but during the day the plasma has a ton of glare. the lcd is still fine.

i love the look of the new leds. very sleek. i’d probably lean that way.
although the pricing on plasmas now is a joke. they cost 30-50% less than they did 2 years ago.
definitely making them more enticing.

I have a 27" LG LED in my bedroom, got it free using United Miles
I like it just fine but hardly ever use it since I dislike watching TV in bed. Like you said MM, the plasma prices are very enticing. While LED has some definite positives I just don’t think they weigh much more than the cost savings, especially considering the size I want.
It came from afar and traveled sedately on, a shrug of eternity
Plasmas are perfect for a basement man cave
Whether you mount it or have it on a stand, once you have it in place you won’t care about the weight, so the only thing is their being energy hogs. The heat they put off is practically a positive in a basement for most of the year.

Bought a 60" LG plasma two years ago; it is the best.
Bought a 42" LG LED on Black Friday this past Nov. It’s good, the plasma is decidedly better. The biggest advantage with the LED is the weight – mine weighs about 25 lbs, whereas the plasma is about 120 lbs. Mounting that monster to the wall was something of an undertaking.

so the kids team this year is the Indians.
we didn’t have real teams when i was in t ball. i was on the yellow team or something like that. the first time we had teams i was the Pirates. always have had a soft spot for them since then.
Kenwo4life=ratings. Just call me Mr. USA Today.
In T-ball, majors and seniors we had real teams but for some reason the minors were these teams:
Satellites, Meteors, Atlas, Rockets, Jets, Comets and Zephyrs. I was on the Zephyrs…our hats said Larkin Bank on them.

disheartening.
"michael gilhaney is an example of a man that is nearly banjaxed from the principal of the atomic theory. would it astonish you to hear that he is nearly half a bicycle?" ~~ sergeant pluck
you don't know the half of it
My dad was the coach of the Zephyrs and he drafted a handful of garbage, thinking he could teach them how to get better and rise above their lack of hand-eye coordination. We had three players who batted .000, two guys who had averages lower than Dunn did last year and we went 0-20. One of the kids who batted zero, threw a ball at my eye when I wasn’t even supposed to be expecting it and I had to sit out a game because I couldn’t see. It was more than disheartening.
It came from afar and traveled sedately on, a shrug of eternity
0-20!
my pirates were 4-16. surprisingly enough we beat the “best” team 3 times and knocked them out of first. the next year as the phillies we righted the ship and went 16-0. after a disappointing year 14-6 2nd place finish as the cardinals, we became the white sox and won first the next 4 years. dominating mostly everyone along the way…but never again reaching undefeated status like the 1988 phillies.
Kenwo4life=ratings. Just call me Mr. USA Today.
more disheartening tidbits from that year
Playing the Jets (the first place team and the team my next door neighbor/best friend was on) my father was out of town so my 18 year old borther had to be the coach. We were tied in the bottom of the sixth and I drove in a guy from second, we were so psyched because we were 0-18 at that time but my brother slapped the kid on the back as he was rounding third in jubilation. The Jets coach argued to the ump that the kid was out because he was touched by the 18 year old fill in coach. The ump agreed and we lost in extras. My brother still brings up how awful he felt.
For the minor league allstars we found out three days before our first game that the guy who had coached the allstars the year before had moved and had never returned the uniforms and the league forgot to get us hats. So my dad went out two days before and had red trucker hats with a tiny white star on them made for us so we had hats. But we had to wear our stupid uniforms (zephyrs, jets, etc.) with those shitty hats. It did wonders for our psyche. Our league was realllllly poor.
It came from afar and traveled sedately on, a shrug of eternity
we had 2 twins on my pirates team... one of them was really bad but one was downright awful.
we were playing the 2nd worst team at the time and they only had 8 guys so we sent them the awful twin. he got his only hit of the year against us. and it knocked in a run. i think we lost 5-4 or something. what a jerk.

my dad was the coach and it was a keeper league… so since i was 10 my dad picked 5 of the best 10 year olds in the first 7 rounds (the other 2 was one 12 year old in the 5th round and the first round pick who was 12- but had a younger brother that came with that was 10)
we ended up winning the league that season in a really close battle with the cubs and giants, who were all stacked with 12 year olds.
it set us up for a dominating run. i’m sure we played to the slaughter rule 80 percent of the games the next 2 seasons.

I was on the Indians from 8-12 yrs.
Played in minors as 8yr old & then to the Majors as a 9yr old. I played catcher while my older brother pitched. He was dickish at first thinking I couldn’t handle it, but eventually gave in (probably my dad threatened to beat his ass-who knows).
One game I was coaching 1st. 1 player had to coach bases, no idea why. Anyway, my brother fouls a line drive right at me and the ball nailed me on the left cheek. I had to leave the game & missed a few games.
When I was 10 they let an extra all-star team play in the tourney we hosted. We were killing a team from Freeport 20-0. I had like 5-6 hits, most were extra bases. It was the only game I ever pitched, that’s how bad they were. I struck out 5 in 2 innings. We were kicked out of tourney as “ringers” after Freeport team threatened to go home.

i played rugby, so i've experienced something similar to the 2nd one.
don’t really have a comp for the fastball thing.

"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
My last atbat in highschool I was beaned by a guy who had a scholarship with Iowa
It was upstate 8 at dupage valley at kane county cougars stadium…that shit hurt. Took a linedrive to the chest while pitching in mexican league…that shit hurt more. I had a bruise the size of a basketball for three weeks. I’ve never played rugby but can imagine its brutality
It came from afar and traveled sedately on, a shrug of eternity
there isn't really anything comparable for baseball.
none of those sound like fun.
i guess taking a hard-hit cricketball to the chest would hurt like all hell, but only upper-class englishmen & the 19th century colonies play it, so i wouldn’t know.
Aluminum bats, so fun to use but so dangerous

i got hit in the back of my neck by the hardest thrower in the league.
i’m still pretty convinced it was on purpose. also got hit on the mound with a line drive off the inner knee. i couldn’t get the glove down and i was a pretty awesome fielding pitcher. had the seams imprinted on my leg for like 2 weeks. then in my semi pro league i got the back of my heel sliced while i was playing first. throw was high… i jumped (got up there like a good 4 inches), came down on the bag and he came down on my foot. that shit was the worst.

When I played water polo in high school,
I was in goal, and I got knocked out briefly one time by a direct shot to the head. That is NOT a pleasant thing, starting to snap outa that while already many feet under water and continuing to sink. Good thing pretty much everyone there was certified as a lifeguard and I got dragged up real quick. No complaints about the guy who did it either. Our coach told us and I’m sure their coach told them… very first shot you take, you don’t aim to score, you aim direct for the head in order to scare the guy.
I miss that game. I mean anything where you have to have your finger and toenails checked by the ref pregame to make sure you haven’t clipped them into sharp points is good stuff.

I think my suckiest injury actually came from golf
I was hit in the shin by a batted ball when pitching, and my right middle finger is still bent a little weird from taking a foul ball right off the end of it while catching (and then before it was healed I jammed it into the ocean floor after a weird wave dumped me off a board), but I had a minor fracture in my hand from playing on a cow pasture of a golf course where I hit a wedge and hidden just below the surface was a buried rock. When I took the divot my club just stopped dead when it hit that rock. I lost the entire summer of golf from that.

well i guess we were already in little league
when we got team names.
my league was small and broke, too.
t-ball was just called ‘the farm league’ for 7-8.
we only had 6 teams, covering everyone from 9-12 years old.
facing down 12 year old fast balls at 9 years old takes stones.
it was cool though because I got to be on the same team as my brother.
He was probably 3’ tall as a 9 year old, we’d have him squat down and take the walk.
His OBP had to be .800
our minors was 7-10 my first year.
that was rough. then it switched the next season to 7-9. majors was 10-12 seniors was 13-15.
when i coached my brother it switched to 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16

t-ball was 6-8, minors 9-10, majors 11-12, seniors 13-15
The biggest challenge for us was being 13 and facing 15 year old heat.

no one ever hit off a tee in t-ball either, it was underhand pitching from the coach

i played t ball at the YMCA. we hit off the tees all the time.
my dad took some videos with his enormous video camera that was considered state of the art at the time. i hit a grand slam in one of them. (it was really a hard grounder through the shortstop and left fielders legs) but i still count it.

I need some advice
I’m off out for a drink on Friday with a gang of old pals and the reason is one of them starts radiotherapy next week. He had a malignant tumour on his neck and it burst during the operation to remove it. I haven’t seen him in years, nice guy not a bad bone in him.
My instinct is to joke about it – but I’m not sure whether I should just gush sympathy.
Out of all my peers this is the first time anyone of us has got properly sick. He’s 34 with two kids – :-(
i had a friend who had hodgkins lymphoma
we got a little weepy about it at first, but then we joked about it constantly. that maybe because we knew it was highly treatable though. still, he went through both radiation and chemo, drinking all the way. but like you said, you havent seen the guy in years, and i don’t know if you know how his prognosis is. it just seems like dumb men that we are, can’t help but treat situations like this with humor. hope you friend beats it like mine did.

This year’s Bulls look just like last year’s Bulls, right? Good enough to beat everybody except Miami with their grit and energy, but too dependent on a single star to break through. Right?
Um, not so fast. A lot more has changed here than meets the eye, and it’s been among the season’s most underrated stories.

Tidbit
This season, the stifling defense is still there, if not in quite as extreme flavors — the Bulls are merely second in defensive efficiency rather than first.
But offensively? Suddenly, they’re a juggernaut. Even with Rose missing nearly a third of the schedule, the Bulls are third in offensive efficiency, speaking well of how broad-based their attack has become. Six other Bulls besides Rose carry PERs above the league average, and as I noted in my piece on “BAD” rating, the Bulls haven’t had a single minute played by a player with a PER below 12.
In particular, a couple of trends stand out with Chicago. First is the substitution of offense for defense. Last season the Bulls relied heavily on two players — Keith Bogans and Kurt Thomas — who gave them very little offensively. This time around Thomas’ minutes have largely gone to Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah, now that each is healthy, while Bogans’ time has gone to Richard Hamilton, when he’s been available, and Ronnie Brewer.
Also talks about the continued production of the bench.
His caution for Bulls fans? 2 things
The first is a simple one to understand, and it was a factor a year ago as well: All these bench players who have helped Chicago build up such a big advantage will mostly be bystanders in the playoffs.
The second, more complex one, is this: They’re looking a little too Hawks-Blazersy for my liking. Having watched those two teams heavily over the past few seasons, I know how this offensive model works out in the playoffs.
The 2nd chance points for Chicago is fantastic but this tends to disappear vs the high quality playoff teams. Its a pretty long and interesting article.
Ending:
I’m not saying Chicago can’t do it, because the Bulls have advantages those Atlanta and Portland teams couldn’t dream of in terms of defense, depth and overall talent. But if there’s a reason to be cynical about Chicago’s chances of upending Miami, this is it. The glass-half-full approach is that the Bulls’ offensive improvement this season has been a vastly underrated story and a legitimate reason to like their chances better this time around. The glass-half-empty view, however, is that it’s still not clear if it will translate to the playoffs.

No seriously, money's been too tight and now policymakers are getting it:
I’d say that market monetarism is on a roll. It’s now conventional wisdom that the Fed could have and should have done more. Not conventional wisdom among average people, but among the best and brightest in the blogosphere. And even Ben Bernanke believes that Fed policy has been ultra-contractionary if measured using appropriate metrics. There is growing awareness that this tight money reduced NGDP growth sharply, dramatically worsening the debt crisis in both America and Europe. And elite opinion-makers on both the left and the right are increasingly likely to see NGDP targeting as the answer.
Those who have only recently started following blogs might wonder what’s the big deal. But go back to late 2008 and see what people believed before market monetarism got going. We’ve significantly transformed elite pundit opinion on four major issues. That’s worth celebrating.
