the only problem i have with the 18 game schedule is that every record is going to be broken now and treated like it's meaningful, sort of like the Maris thing
-
hawks are 89.3% to make the playoffs, or so says this site: http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHL/Western/Central/Blackhawks.html

i love the dribble shimmy he does at 1:10 in the first vid

he made me touch myself

Soriano's offseason workout plan (Onion)
sneakypower replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
take it easy, he had posted that in bed -
makes the 2/$4.5M it took for Wings to lock up Howard look like a fantastic steal

you really know how to warm the cockles of my heart, bukie

TSNBobMcKenzie: Campoli and a conditional 7th round pick to CHI for Ryan Potulny and conditional 2nd roudn pick. [via Twitter] an overpay, but hard to argue he's not a clear upgrade over Boynton

Batting order minutiae: Castro 2nd, Ramirez 4th
sneakypower replied to Transmogrified Tiger's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
...and then switching Soto and Pena -
(meaningless tangent) Niemi's actually picked it up after his awful start, you could even argue he's the best goalie in the league over the past two months

i liked this author's opinion on Frolik: Michael Frolik is endearing himself to his new team. Zero points and minus-3 in six games. I wonder if this is a ploy (here's my GM imagination running away from me again) - but a player this talented and in his third year (a contract year), what if you stuck him on the third/fourth line with zilch for power-play time? Then you sign him for two years at a rock-bottom price and he enters that magical fourth season. Budget restraints force you to clear out another player or two, you stick the low-paid Frolik on the top line and "voila", you have yourself a highly productive cheap forward. No?

five, you forgot Lamb interesting that they list power as Jackson's best tool
-
about damn time they lose a star pitcher too (death doesn't count)
-
Hawks won the next game and the game after that he had a 3-pt game, his hangover seemed sort of immaterial, if you ask me
-
we're still pretty firmly on the bubble, the UI result didn't have much bearing on our tourney chances
-
Shaun Rogers isn't very good. Marinelli exiled Rogers because of effort level (replacing him with the woeful Chuck Darby), so i doubt he'd sign off on that move i still think Rogers can be a very productive role player, he's always been fantastic in getting to the QB
-
are you talking to me? whoever the mopey anus character was, sniveling "even if we get Pujols we'll still just screw it up somehow" ugh
-
just die already

i don't think Dodgers are in it, unless McCourt sells the team Kansas City really doesn't make any sense and Nationals blew their load on Werth already this is how i see it now, in order of likelihood: Cards - Cubs - Yankees - Rangers - Angels - Red Sox - Marlins No Blue Jays? why would he go to Toronto, of all places, and how are they going to have the wherewithal to outspend everybody? they don't really make sense as a serious potential suitor
-
they had the 9th lowest payroll in baseball last year, at $62M, and they're going to conceivably more than double it in such short order?

path of least resistance.

although, it's pretty strange to see UI fans ripping on another team's awkward white guy, forgetting about their own lurchy freak Mike Tisdale
