INDIANAPOLIS -- Although Bears coach Lovie Smith declined to talk about specific free-agent players Friday at the NFL scouting combine, he didn't rule out adding help at running back. Brian Westbrook, the veteran running back who was released by the Philadelphia Eagles, volunteered his services. "I would love to play in Chicago; I would love to play anywhere," Westbrook said on the "The Waddle & Silvy Show'' on WVMP-AM 1000. "They have a pretty good quarterback there; great defense. There's no question that I would love to definitely play in Chicago." The Bears could use another multi-purpose back to help share the load with Matt Forte. Kevin Jones, Garrett Wolfe, and Kahlil Bell are still in the mix. Veteran backup Adrian Peterson doesn't expect to remain with the Bears. "I've admired Matt's game from afar," Westbrook said. "He's a young guy, very talented. I like the way he runs. I like the way he plays the game. He plays with passion. He runs hard." Westbrook would be a risk considering his history with concussions. But if healthy, he could be a great fit in offensive coordinator Mike Martz's scheme.

That wasn't Mulbury was it?

That's why the good Lord invented sports bars. And they aren't all on versus. Most of the first two rounds will be on CSN. But I will probably freak out if Directv doesn't have the Versus dispute taken care of by playoff time. I will definitely freak out. Normally I would just go elsewhere, but the closest bar is all directv as well, and my friend who lives closest switched to directv. So I'm going to have to make an effort, and that's not fun.

now Kane is just a ball hog.

Oh, and kujay, no it's not 4-0.

now it's like the Blackhawks are playing Edmonton, or I'm playing playstation.

I may be cynical in old age but I definitely get excited to see new stud pitchers arrive on the scene. It's a pretty unique thing in sports. Much more interesting than rookie QBs.

Kanerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They aren't that big of underdogs, and had to be favored in this game, no? I think they were universally accepted as about 4th on the list this Olympics, and in only the Canada game have they been dogs.

Parise is really shining. If NJ was any good at marketing themselves they'd be all over this.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, Eurotrash was not enough to get him fired, he's there.

The Cubs lack a clear ace at the top, but have strong depth. Even at the #5 spot in the rotation, there are good arms competing there. If nobody else, Marshall has already shown himself to be a capable MLB starter. Gorz is fine for a fifth guy. You've get upside guys with Shark & Diamond. There are three young guys that could step up by the end of the year in Cashner, Jackson and Carpenter. The real key is Lilly being healthy relatively fast. I think you need Lilly to be healthy ASAP plus somebody to surprise on the upside. There are numbers, but there's not much quality in that quantity. Needing three of Wells, Marshall, Gorzo, Samardzija and Silva to contribute positively is scary. And there's very little point in bringing up the other names.

Ethics can involve making a hard decision with the bigger picture in mind. This is something PETA should be more involved with, instead of pissing on my steaks.

I don't mind the replay. http://nimg.sulekha.com/sports/thumbnailfull/carmen-schaefer-2009-3-21-6-31-2.jpg Carmen Schaefer

And then concede. Kind of odd to do that with two ends left after the Chinese just scored 6 in the previous two ends But they are playing Canada on my TV. Didn't they just play each other.

45 minutes to kickoff, I think the USA loses this one.

The point is that while he might be a better bet to outperform, it's only by a slight margin. I'm in no hurry with Castro, but you probably won't actually lose anything by making the move now. You'll lose some offensively and potentially a whole lot. As Tim pointed out, Castro only OPS'd .734 in A and AA last year. It's quite a stretch to say he'd be anyway near that good this year in the majors. Very sub-.700 is a possibility for Castro. Castro has way, way, way more upside, Theriot is likely to be better now. And again, Theriot is no lock to surpass 700 himself, and is probably going to be very low anyway. His better would be minimal.
-
He's also only played 30 games above A-Ball and doesn't turn 20 til near Opening Day. Unless he's absolutely destroying pitchers, he needs more MiLB time. As excited as I am about Castro, I completely agree. Hold him down unless something goes hay-wire with the second base platoon. At that point, if Castro is rocking in the minors, why not give him a shot and bump Theriot to second? Yes, it has to be about when he's definitely ready, and I have no problem in delaying a guy's clock either.

no problem with the type of celebration, but it shouldn't have happened on the ice

That's a stupid way of breaking down TV revenues. -
It's nice that Larry likes him, but that is so far from a profound statement. It's meaningless.

The Hawks have to be a special circumstance. People talk about the woes of being a Raiders fan, but they were in a Super Bowl not too long ago. The Hawks actively screwed their fans more than most people. I don't feel too bad about "abandoning them", although I went to more games the past 10 years than I did the previous 10 years. Plus it's hockey, and always fighting for more fans, so the concept of a bandwagon just isn't the same as NFL or MLB teams.
