    Best player on 15 year long dominant team. MVP, several appearances on MVP ballots, all star games, switched positions. I think there's plenty there for the media to latch onto besides traditional counting stats.

    Whoever the Rod Woodson look-a-like commentator is just made a good point about the kazoos, it makes it impossible to hear crowd reactions/chants. I have been thinking that the crowds have been quite dull, but maybe it is just that those grade school fair trinkets have been drowning them out.

    He just got one yesterday, how much rest do you think he could use?

    What to do with Colvin is a tough decision. I can't believe Fukudome will have no trade value whatsoever at any point from now until the deadline next year. At some point, we'll be able to trade Fuku for something of value and I'd hate to force a trade now and get nothing in return. I'm not at all opposed to trading Fukudome and I think his value should be at a decent level right now, my main point earlier was to say we shouldn't dump him for nothing. If there's no market right now, there likely will be at some point – even if it's in the offseason or during next year. In the meantime, Colvin can either get experience at the ML level in a bench/platoon role or get ABs in AAA. Yeah, what to do with Colvin should not be the priority of this team. They have plenty of time to make a decision on him.

    I'm not familiar with that one.

    Nothing I've seen, including going to a nightclub, has been trouble. But I do fear he could eventually do something stupid.

    Is someone holding a gun to your head and forcing you to watch? I sympathize with your plight. can you imagine a scenario in which truffle actually enjoys something? i cant. you're just bitter because i don't think oklahoma's great pastime (bull wrestling) is a sport uhhhh have you have heard of noodling, bro I thought that was more of a southeastern hillbilly thing.

    MLS tickets aren't $20. I understand it's comparing apples to an awesome sport, but you're underselling MLS. I just checked for the fire and they range from $15 to 50. I don't know if 50 gets you in the door for the blackhawks, or most nhl clubs.

    Then what are you going to do with Colvin? They need to see what they got in him. This team isn't going to be competing in the near future with Soriano not going anywhere, it comes down to Byrd and Fukudome and while Byrd would have a higher net return, he's likely a better player at a cheaper cost. Send Colvin to the minors, hope he flashes some brilliant numbers and trade him. He's going to be exposed big time if he becomes a starting RF. As flawed as his game is, at least Fukudome is a tremendous OBP guy, and a top notch defender.

    I wish Korea's unis were more drab than this.

    Wait, are you the one that was stuck on that asinine notion that MLS game attendance figures and NHL game attendance figures are reasonable comparisons? Also, that country across the pond was probably the absolute best matchup the US could have had in terms of bringing in interest in the states. That was me, and 4 years ago or whatever it was not a great argument. This season, though, the attendance figures are about equal, with MLS at 16,320 and the NHL around 16,900 Source: http://www.mls-daily.com/2010/04/mls-attendance-moves-past-nba-nhl.html Not that it means MLS is more popular, but the attendance figures are more even now than they were. That was dumb then and it's dumb now. 80 game seasons versus what, 30? $150 tickets versus $20 tickets. 30 team league vs 16. Seriously, comparing average attendance figures is completely stupid.

Also, that country across the pond was probably the absolute best matchup the US could have had in terms of bringing in interest in the states. Of course not. Like I said, NHL is the best hockey league in the world and MLS doesn't sniff the Top 5. And Mexico is the absolute best matchup in terms of bringing in TV viewers, which was the original comparison. Mexican viewers. Passionate soccer fans see the draw of USA/Mexico, but England provides a huge boost to casual fan interest.

    Every once in a while you write something worth reading, and I don't want to miss those.

    I thought they only zoned things like March Madness covers, and season previews. They have plenty of singular covers. I'm not at all surprised that the Blackhawks aren't the primary cover. They won it last Wednesday night. I get my SI (why I still do I don't know) on Wednesday and figured a week later it would be old news.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Do you even have to examine all that closely? I'm thinking maybe 3rd or 4th ballot. Possible 2nd.

    Ramirez has been the most reliable Cub for 7 years.

    But they weren't swaggering. When the Bears lost 23-0 in the conference finals the year before going all the way, they were swaggering. This is just about a guy whose meal ticket remains being one of the guys from the most famous Chicago sports championship. If too many people like the Blackhawks, he won't be able to pull down $5000 for autograph sessions.

    Usually athletes and "Gold Clubs" don't work out so well. I think usually it works out great for all parties involved. It's just the times you hear about it that something went wrong.

    Toews does not translate well to art.

    3-4 years? Dick Dent, do you realize your team completely crapped the bed on what should have been a dynasty?
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Is that what it is. I thought he had cooled considerably, but didn't trust that I was paying enough attention.

    I don't get what you are talking about. Neyer is the preeminent "good stats" guy in the media. And that article was about a grossly overpaid player who is going to be old and bad. That's not what have you done for me lately. That's just thinking realistically. Sure, but the timing and tone of it was clearly influenced by how Soriano looked at the time it was written with the implication that nobody should be surprised if he was released sooner rather than later. Well, he's still a columnist and you have to get page views. But I didn't get any sense of a tone about it happening sooner rather than later.
