    No bouncing puck that time, Sharp smoked it, 'bout time.

    That's a much more glowing review than every other account I've heard of that practice. Apparently, there were lots of drops. Receivers are having trouble adjusting to the heat on Cutler's throws. Not that it matters much, it's the first day of OTAs. Still a ways to go. I read that too, which seems completely contradictory to the Daily Herald article saying only one ball hit the ground. And the Daily Herald article is definitely wrong. There's footage of way more than one drop. Maybe he wrote that after only watching a part of practice or something. He wrote "of his first 40 or so passes" and said most were against air. I'm sure he was just talking about the beginning of practice. You know it's still shocking that the Bears have the best QB in the NFC North along with one of the NFC's best.

    A-soapdropping-men! Most especially when the Cardinals sans Pujols are a AAAA team but, I take it with grain of salt, come September or maybe even July when they're healthier and playing better that sweep will be returned and then some.

    The Wings have not had a highly ranked farm system for 15 years and yet is still produces about as good as anyone elses. Lidstrom is certainly an all time great, but he already taken a step down from where he was several years ago. Even If Lidstrom retires the Wings still have Rafalski, Ericson, Stuart, Kronwall, Lilja, Meech, Kindl and Lebda. Plus it frees up their biggest contract, so signing a player like Bouwmeester would be very reasonable. He is a step down from Lidstrom but Ericsson and Kronwall will still be improving. I think the Hawks still have plenty of places to improve and may pass the Wings, but I dont think the Wings are going to drop down too much in the near future There's one thing the Hawks have that the Wings cannot match nor have an answer for - Scotty Bowman - I believe that's going to translate to them making the best and correct decisions when to comes to future contracts, etc. Basically, the Hawks are young and talented along with a management that's not going to eff it up.

    If career statistics and regression to the mean stand for anything we're going to get two or more months of Bradley being scorching hot - let's hope people are getting on base ahead of him when that happens.

    Wait, are you talking about Fox coming up and catching? That's a horrible idea, since he can't do the whole "catch the ball" part of the equation. I've seen him play much, how terrible is he? Because in addition to not hitting Soto' become 2007 Kendall when it comes to throwing base runners out.
  7. gflore34
    There's been a lot of talk about Jake Fox maybe, he can't catch the ball but, if he can hit, why not? Hell, even if it's only for a month, a month may give Soto time to get in better shape and heel up. I'm ready to go with Hoff at 1b for awhile as well thus far, he's shown he can do something Lee can't do - hit. And Freel, he was acquired to do what exactly? It wasn't to play baseball that's for certain.

    Franklin might have the poorest stuff for a closer I've ever seen.
  9. gflore34
    Lee K, Bradley weak grounder to 2b, Soto screamer to that joke in LF.
  10. gflore34
    That same pitch was strike 3 to Lee earlier.

    Somebody had to post a post about how the Cardinals were a minor league lineup before this series. Sometimes you should just bite your tongue and not tempt fate. Well, aren't they? Beyond Pujols they're garbage.
  12. gflore34
    Sori swings thru the straightest of fb down the middle of the plate.
  13. gflore34
    Soto morphed from one of the best catchers in baseball to one of the worst, only the Cubs.
  14. gflore34
    No Sut, its the second time the idiot Cub defense has given them a run.
  15. gflore34
    Seriously how stupid is he? Dumber than Bradley on the base paths.
  16. gflore34
    These aren't even quality pitches they're making outs on, Soto and Fontenote both missed bp fastballs.
  17. gflore34
    Yeah I've had my share of Lee and Bradley missing bp meatballs down the middle of the plate.
  18. gflore34
    Anyone else just want to punch Carpenter in the face?
  19. gflore34
    I was close it was 4 pitches.
  20. gflore34
    K's in 6 pitches.
  21. gflore34
    K's in 6 pitches.
  22. gflore34
    Given he can't hit anymore I think he was lost on those bases.
  23. gflore34
    Ryan you were out not...even...close.
  24. gflore34
    Bradley hitting would lessen that but, it doesn't appear Bradley' going to hit ever.
  25. gflore34
    Maybe, thought strike two to Lee was a hanger and of course, Lee takes it, strike 3, although not a strike, was a hanger.
