  1. The choices were Detroit or a San Jose team that swept Vancouver. The hot team is San Jose. Yeah, this is clearly the better matchup. Plus the rivalry factor should make for fun television. And some fun misery porn by reading the other teams message boards after a Hawks win. Though that swings both ways. I'm happy with it. San Jose hot though, after dispatching the biggest choke-meisters in the NHL? Nay! Yeah, I'd hate to be playing any team in the second round coming off a series victory.
  2. And 1/3 as good Yeah...no. And even if he were just 1/3 as good as Votto this season (not even close), Votto's locked up to his age 39 season, at which point he might just be 1/3 as good as Rizzo at 31. Which the article explicitly says. Which means you didn't even try to read it.
  3. Rob Neyer on Rizzo contract Synopsis: Cubs locked up Rizzo for same time frame Reds locked up Votto, except Rizzo is 7 years younger and they're getting him for 1/3 the price.
  4. The choices were Detroit or a San Jose team that swept Vancouver. The hot team is San Jose.
  5. Well, Detroit is a puck control, finesse team like the Blackhawks, except about 10 years older. Plus, Detroit doesn't employ Raffi Torres, so the Hawks can hopefully avoid a playoffs-ending injury to a top line player.
  6. So the Cubs are paying Castro and Rizzo a combined 100 million through 2020?
  7. Only my team could have a perfect game through 5 with our ace on the mound against their #5 starter and then blow it on a botched double steal for a guy with no knees. #ifiwereanatfan
  8. Dempsey with a goal and assist today as Spurs win at Stoke 2-1
  9. Yeah, they're in Europa playoffs automatically now.
  10. His ability to throw out runners outweighs his inability to keep balls in front of him.
  11. How Bowden is on the team still baffles me. At least bring up someone from Iowa because there has to be other options in the farm system. There isn't. That's the problem. The AAA and AA pitching is a black hole of even worse suckiness. Dolis is about the best shot they've got for the near future unless Vizcaino doesn't pan out as a starter.
  12. He won't stay a postive long. Look at his track record. Slightly better than replacement level reliever? Yeah, about what I expect.
  13. Remember when Trey McNutt was the best pitching prospect the Cubs had two years ago? Yeah, it's that bad.
  14. Bowman is one of only 3 Cub relievers worth a net positive this year. Bizarre rant.
  15. Oh yes, because the come back victories have been so plentiful and the games blown by the bullpen have been so rare. When you predict that the game is over in the 8th inning 162 times a year, you'll probably be right 75% of the time, and you'll be annoying, pointless, and stupid 100% of the time.
  16. Aramis Fan talking about the game in the past tense? Must be the 8th inning.
  17. Out of the many reasons not to sacrifice bunt, that one wasn't readily apparent to me.
  18. So much for the dream of a perfect season for Russell.
  19. Gameday's spot on pitch 5 makes the ump look terrible.
  20. Maybe they'll let Russell bat, then, so he can pitch to the best hitters on the Cards, who are all coming up next.
  21. Are the Cubs double switching, or wasting Russell for one batter?
  22. So the ACC decided that Virginia Tech and Clemson were unworthy of the challenge this year.
  23. I suppose in most cases I'd trade an out for a run given the opportunity, though.
  24. I still hate the term "productive out", since outs are the most precious thing in baseball, but hey, at least the runner's at 3rd.
