    The MLB playoffs getting longer would blow severely. We already have teams like the 06 Cardinals and 05 (I think) Padres getting in barely over .500 on occasion - expanding them would make things like that nearly an every-year occurrence.

    ND scheduling tidbit: Mike Brey said at the team banquet last night that the Irish were 'likely' to play Kentucky next year (in the Big East/SEC Invitational) and were in talks to get Gonzaga to come to South Bend. Georgia Tech and Arizona State have also talked to him about a game for next year. Combine those with the Old Spice Classic - which should at least get ND a game with a middling power-conference opponent - and the trip to UCLA and the non-conference schedule might actually be tolerable next year. With the tournament's likely expansion, it seems that Brey is a lot less nervous about playing some good teams before January. Also, neither he nor AD Jack Swarbrick have been contacted about the Oregon job, contrary to some rumors that were floating around yesterday.

    The cluster eff at the end of that Wings game reminded me how rare and awesome plays like the Parise goal in the Olympics are.

    I'm nominally a Wings fan, but don't follow the NHL basically at all. Trying to catch some playoff games though, starting tonight. I would really like to see Wings/Blackhawks to see my Hawks fan friends get riled up.

    How the hell are we only 2 games out of first? SWEEP, BITCHES

    YOU'RE DAGGUM RIGHT WE'RE PLAYING THIS GAME UNDER PROTEST

    Rose and Noah are the core. Give those guys a big-time scorer in the offseason and make a couple of nice other moves and this team can definitely contend next year. I hope the Bulls play really well against Cleveland. I'd love to at least steal a game.
  8. Andy
    There are. Lou doesn't know how to use them. Caridad, for example, would be very useful when our starter has just given up a slam and we're now down by 10. I sincerely hope they're not that short sighted regarding him. Giving up on young pitchers because they initially struggle in the bullpen isn't going to help the team. No matter where they struggle it's not healthy to give up on them - look at Marmol. He sucked as a starter in 2006, and the last four years he's been the most unhittable pitcher in baseball.

    Whatever his idea is I am sure that it's the complete opposite of a good idea.

    This is a good time to remind people that NBA.com has free audio feeds of every game, so you can listen to Swirsky and Wennington. Also, if you're in the CSN-Chicago area but can't get to a TV, Bulls.com has an available Web stream of the CSN feed.

    Carlos Marmol is mind-blowing when he's on and he's been on all year.
  12. Andy
    Well, got 1 in, that'll work. Come on Aramis.

    Now's a good time for our good buddy April-Fuku to come up big.

    to be fair, the bullpen probably would've given up some runs anyway. Then you make them give up runs instead of letting our 2nd-year major leaguer, who's had to work hard the last 2 innings, go over the 100 pitch mark for no real reason. oh i agree, but we saw it with dempster and now with wells, lou has no confidence in the pen so he's going to ride his starters longer than he should. The sad thing is that crappy pen just got Braun and Fielder in 3 pitches, but they'd have to be lights-out til July for Lou to change his mind about them. He's a lunatic.

    Cubs fans can really be absolute [expletive] morons sometimes.

    Colvin coming in on a double switch

    Charge another run to Lou. His ERA is taking a hit the last 2 games.
  19. Andy
    Lou's fear of the pen is going to result in all our starters having dead-arm by July 20th.

    Byrd needs to quit hitting double play balls.
  21. Andy
    I don't know about pure luck, but we have guys entrenched at both positions he can play. I suppose we could've kept him as a bench bat.
  22. Andy
    What was that about breaking the cycle of giving up runs immediately after scoring them?
  23. Andy
    I just dropped him. For what?? Catcher is so thin this year, I can't imagine anyone of value being on waivers I got Olivo off waivers a couple of days ago when Montero went on the DL.
  24. Andy
    FWIW, Judd just mentioned that Theriot told him recently that he needed to pick his spots to run better than he did last year. And there was one.
