  1. Hardly fair they let the White Sox play in front of their home crowd in Baltimore.
  2. If anything, I'm confounded at the argument against the pitcher batting 8th is "he hits with RISP all the time". As if that is somehow magically fixed by him batting 9th, or that somehow that's a problem.
  3. Also, the Blackhawks notched 19 goals in 6 games against what was the best goalie in the league all season, and never scored fewer than 2 per game.
  4. I mean, I'm rooting for the Wild because then the only two teams that reasonably were hanging with the Hawks all season would be eliminated already.
  5. Fans being reactionary assholes in a game thread just after a game? That's so rare.
  6. I don't think motivation is going to be a problem for either opponent.
  7. Also, credit to the D, the Blackhawks gave up 12 shots in the first 11 minutes on Darling, and then 13 shots in the remaining 49 minutes on Crawford.
  8. Goals tonight by Toews, Sharp, Kane, and Keith.
  9. This is the first time since the first round went to best-of-seven that five first round series have gone 3-0. In 1989, five series went 3-0, and those were sweeps since the first round was best-of-five. Total first round games played each year since 2003: 2003:32+17=49 (0 4G,1 5G,5 6G,2 7G) 2004:32+07=39 (3 4G,4 5G,0 6G,1 7G) 2005:32+11=43 (2 4G,3 5G,1 6G,2 7G) 2006:32+13=45 (1 4G,2 5G,4 6G,1 7G) 2007:32+09=41 (3 4G,2 5G,2 6G,1 7G) 2008:32+12=44 (1 4G,3 5G,3 6G,1 7G) 2009:32+13=45 (1 4G,3 5G,2 6G,2 7G) 2010:32+13=45 (1 4G,2 5G,4 6G,1 7G) 2011:32+11=43 (1 4G,3 5G,4 6G,0 7G) 2012:32+14=46 (2 4G,2 5G,2 6G,2 7G) 2013:32+16=48 (2 4G,0 5G,5 6G,2 7G) 2014:32+18=50 (1 4G,1 5G,1 6G,5 7G)
  10. Yes, Brandon, why would you mention that in the Bears thread?
  11. Getting to be a decent chance that all four Eastern series are sweeps.
  12. Are you confusing him with tadowdaddy?
  13. Holy crap, Montreal got an away goal at Azteca.
  14. They had 2 last night and that is lacking in dongs In a game thread, recently generally refers to the previous 45 seconds.
  15. Whoops, forgot the Cubs even had a Germen.
  16. ESPN back in the day...in the long long ago.
  17. I'd guess Coke or Rosscup, maybe Jackson if the Cubs don't mind using him again back to back.
  18. Cubs just need to keep doing what they're doing.

    Castro

    Today is the first day of Starlin Castro's career that the Cubs have been as much as 3 games over. 500.
  20. Tough break for the Bucks tonight as Hinrich has been ruled out again.
  21. It was his first HR as a Cardinal.
  22. Well the thinking is to set up the DP. Force at home, rather.
  23. Maybe now Kap will have something nice to say about Castro.
  24. It was either Ross or a Cub pitcher. Everyone else has been used.
