It was a Friday night. here's a link to the only weekend/going out night game the cubs played in 2008. you may note that the thread is 31 pages long. it appears the shortest game thread from april 2009 was 11 pages long.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 4-30-11

also drew a walk \:D/ -
i'm not surprised. i mean, i didn't think he would hit like this (he won't) but he has good contact skills which should translate over well to the majors. he always struck me as a guy who would give you something around a .275 average but not many walks and minimal power, which is just fine for a utility infielder with an excellent glove.

my lineup gets even more embarrassing as pablo sandoval is put on the DL and i replace him with mike aviles.

yeah 75 year old "prospect" smaily borges hit his second home run of the game to give the chiefs the lead in the top of the 10th. -
way to show up flyers! =D>

hr and a walk for gibbs. szczur has a single, double and SB in 5 AB. simpson kinda sucked again: 4.2 ip, 7 h, 4 er, 1 bb, 5 k, 2 hr. -
love that an april game thread is 2 pages long and very little of the talk had to do with the game. catch the fever!

i think that would be an overreaction

I think if you could get salary cap relief to resign Sharp. Plus a solid top 6 forward and a 3/4 line checking center, then trading Kane might make sense. Of course there may be room in the new cap to resign Sharp(if he gives a Blackhawk discount) and add a checking center and just keep Kane good checking centers are a dime a dozen. the flyers brought in blair betts on a non-roster invite two years ago and he's been a great asset as a checker and on the PK. now if you want a john madden type who can chip in 20 goals and play great D, that's harder to find.

Brewers Extend Braun... again

his way is green fonted? -
Because that's what people are saying. people are saying that he's solid (i believe you used that word) and not garbage, and to this point he has been not solid and garbage. maybe he will improve, but he's 27, so it's not too likely.
-
that's half a season for a decent middle reliever. but yeah giving up a hit per inning and posting a 1.44 WHIP and 6.5 K/9 IP in AA at age 25 really suggested that we have a gem on our hands.
-
he has a WHIP of 1.61 in his major league career, a FIP around 5 and gives up hard-hit balls at an alarming rate. maybe he has pretty good stuff, but his results have been terrible.
-
this team is going places.
-
how will that work though? the "goal" the hawks scored, luongo was doing a snow angel and it turned out that the puck was loose beneath his legs. if you start allowing goals after the whistle, then teams are just going to keep chopping away at goalies in case the puck is still floating around somewhere and you can jab it in.
-
i'm sure viking fans would appreciate a reasonably talented team just taking the year off in hopes of having the worst record in the league.
-
what should the rule be?

hopefully they both lose/lost

I think you might have pulled the wrong walks number Fred. Those look like the walks the Cubs took not the walks allowed. ...yeah I was going to say those numbers are the complete opposite of what I thought they would have been.. huh how about that - cubs good = cubs offense drawing walks. cubs bad = cubs offense hacking away and not drawing walks. the figures in 2005 and 2006 looked really low to me and sure enough, they were. 2005 we were at the bottom, 12 behind the giants. 2006 was even worse - we walked fewer times than every NL team, 64 fewer than the next-lowest team (pirates) and then almost 100 behind the team third from the bottom (giants). maybe someone in the cubs organization should catch onto the fact that getting on base is good.
-
they did walk a lot of guys when rothschild was here, but i think that's because they had a lot of power arms. the cubs have always had more power arms than pitch-to-contact guys.
-
another good deal for NE, pick up a first rounder next year (could be better, but probably not much since saints should be good) and a second rounder this year.
-
Check my response to erik. I misspoke. Can we put a moratorium on picking the Lions though? Every year people pick them as the fashionable team that will win. They always suck in the end. Until they prove something, they deserve to be picked to suck. they really weren't that bad last year, and they seem to have management that knows what it is doing now.

what gave it away, besides the name peyton hillis?
