2014 Winter Olympics (Beware, no spoiler tags)
jersey cubs fan replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
The talent pool for womens hockey has to be very limited. I was an ok high school runner and id have a couple gold medals if I only had a vag. I would also take 4 guys from gym and win the WNBA championship. You go girl! -
so Regin is a center...i dont see how we have room for him on lines 1-4 without someone else getting dumped. I watch most of the games, and follow the team, but dont know the roster machinations as much as i do with the cubs. Anyone care to help me here? I was looking around last night and found info for when Regin joined the Isles and they were saying that despite being listed as a center, he's really just a winger. For now he just takes Pirri's spot, and probably is around to be competition for guys like Bickell who fight to stay off the healthy scratch list.

And you figured a good place to find that out was a comments section?

Second this so much. agreed. i also feel like jack's pizzas don't get enough respect (at sale price, anyway). i saw the papa john's cookie pizza on TV and was intrigued... but then i realized i'd have to eat their pizza too. not happening. i don't know if any pizza is bad, but that and giordano's (thin, stuffed, whatever) come close for me. they are the worst in their respective fields. If you think Giordano's is bad you have an untrustworthy palate.

Didn't you specifically say you were just out of college and working full time? If that is the case, then you should value your time (or quickly learn to value it) and not commit to showing up an hour+ early to every game.
-
yay?
-
I don't think I've ever eaten pizza at Wrigley, but kicking the vastly, vastly overrated D'Agostino's to the curb is fine by me. F Yeah. I don't care what anybody else says, I have to get Giordano's every time I return. Love the stuff, and have brought it back east dozens of times.

What was Remlinger's ridiculous injury? Not "tripped over my dog" ridiculous, but didn't something bizarre happen to him? May be thinking of someone else Something about a folding chair in the clubhouse. Cut his finger or foot or something.

Jaren?
-
Isn't Okung like, good? I think he was including him among the good ones from that draft, while pointing out their more recent ones haven't worked out as well.
-
the ubiquity of Jaylen/Jalen/Jaylon/etc. is pretty crazy to think about; Jalen Rose's mother named him after his father (James) & his uncle (Leonard) and a generation later it's one of the most popular names around...to think, if he wasn't good at basketball/awesome at life millions of kids would have different names I think Jaden is a much more popular recent name.

The game before was the HSC collision, right? yep
-
The point has never been you need an elite QB to win a Super Bowl. Or that a defense can't win one for you. The point is that you cannot stay consistently good while depending on an elite defense. To be dominant on defense you need several studs on defense. That route gets expensive in a hurry as members reach free agency and get to move on. And then they get old as well. If you are fortunate enough to draft as well as Seattle has on defense all within a couple years and then also have the fortune of drafting a quality QB in the third and have him contribute immediately, you can replicate their success. But that's not a recipe for a decade of contending. Seattle also has 2 1st rounders on the offensive line and another 2nd.

I know I was there the day before, but I cannot remember what I did for this game.
-
What awesome plays? Sloppy TAINTS and unforced safeties ended the game before it began.

We all know it won't be aired during the Super Bowl. Just like every other "banned ad" it's designed to maximize views online.

Going to the HOF Induction for Maddux Questions
jersey cubs fan replied to Gmoney08's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Not HOF related but, There are some fantastic breweries in the general area. Plan on taint a day and do a tour. You won't regret it. This is the type of investigative reporting I was looking for!! No, really... I definitely would like recommendations on the baseball and nonbaseball related activities to undergo while there! Any brewery recommendations? Taint day is huge up there. -
Cubs sign Hammel

Somebody has to pitch on Wednesdays. -
I don't think I'd characterize it as a needle in a haystack. I don't think it is any harder to find guys who can start and be effective for a couple years than it would be to find guys who can start and be effective for 15. Most teams are probably either ignoring those guys or have already slated them for the bullpen. It seems to me that a lot of the sentiment against the midgets is just that they won't be prototypical aces with a shot at the hall of fame. Every scout wants Clemens, but I think certain front offices, including this one, would be happy to get 5-6 years of Rich Harden, pay him $10-15m and then let him walk or trade him.

Looks like he thinks Black can still be a starter. Has four pitches, the only question is the durability. I agree with Law. Keep Black in the rotation as long as he continues to show plus stuff. The guy at Bleachernation had an interesting piece the other day on Black's change of approach after coming over to the Cubs. http://www.bleachernation.com/2014/01/28/prospects-progress-corey-black/ This addresses the theory that the Cubs are acquiring undervalued pitching prospects because of their size. I wonder if part of that theory is the front office isn't necessarily looking for a guy who can throw 220 innings for 15 years, but would be quite happy to get guys who can throw 190 innings for 5 years. If you can get that sort of performance out of undersized pitchers, you will essentially use up all of their cost effective years, and then let the doctors, pitcher and/or another team figure out how he'll make due during his late 20s/early 30s.
