Scouts sitting behind me said, " that's hard to do", in reference to the pitcher issuing the walks. From my view I as impressed with him laying off. Good bad we had a flight and missed the walk off.

3/35 is good value for a good pitcher. It's neither expensive nor egregiously long-term. And 2/25 in options is pretty team friendly.

Please no. No Cutler = no win. Maximize the team around Cutler and draft a QB mid-round in the next couple years but don't spend money on veterans backups.

They don't exactly turn over the roster season over season. And they do make moves in the middle of the season. This has essentially been the same team for quite a while now.

As somebody who utilizes almost nothing but Simpsons and Seinfeld quotes when talking with family, I can relate.

2 weeks ago?

Is the ugh because of your Bulls love and Heat/LeBron hate?

Wait, the article was more "angry at the details" than what Jersey said.... Well, I didn't READ anything prior to what Jersey said. I was more about the joke. I mean, who needs context? That said, I'd like to bail gracefully at this point since now I feel dumb. I saw nothing.

What does that have to do with anything?

SI won't have access to those HBO props much longer given the Time Inc. split from Time Warner.

I don't understand his sentiment at all. He's way off. A team's point totals matter in any one season because that is how seasons are judged. An individual's goals scored in one season count when judging who won a scoring title for that specific season. But nobody is giving the Blackhawks extra points toward this season's standings based on what happened last season. A streak is just a random phenomena that has no bearing on any one season in and of itself. If the streak started last year and continued this year it continues. Nobody gets a trophy for it (although knowing the Blackhawks they will probably have a 2-hour ceremony where they present everybody with a picture of the Stanley Cup).

I have to put my money on Friday.

Even that is a convoluted stat. What does it matter if the game was played in a Blackhawks uniform. That isn't an accomplishment. It's a nice long career, but in a league where guys often play for 5-6 teams it's really only noteworthy when somebody like Brodeur plays his 1000th for the same team. There's like 30 active guys with more games played. Plus, they gave him a picture of him with the cup from three years ago that he probably already has. Did somebody run out to the collectibles store and pay $75 for that? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NHL_players_with_1000_games_played

Yep, trophy city. Along those lines, did anyone think that celebration was a bit over the top? It's not like he broke any records or hit any big milestone. Great, he played a lot of games. It's not like he's on some retirement going away party. I know that's just McDonough being McDonough and pandering to the idiots, but 1,000 game celebration, particularly for a guy who played 3/4 of those games on other teams just seemed like a bit much. Whatever, Hossa rules anyway. This season is awesome. That celebration was ridiculous and his wife looked like she had no interest in being there.

I don't see the need to put that much thought into it. There's hasn't been a problem in the past. There is plenty of time to get a multi-round draft done and then at least another new 1-2 rounder leading up to the actual draft. Yea some of those are admittedly complex and time consuming for dew, or whoever runs it. But as mentioned it did slow at times and people complained (and if memory serves others may have complained about picks being made for them too quickly). I think the first idea though is fairly simple and would help keep things moving, while not having a huge impact. 24 hour clock. If you miss, the draft keeps moving. After say 5 picks or 48 hours past your pick, you lose it and the board consensus picks. If your merely a pick late or 12 hours late, you still have control of your pick, with fairly low odds you lost your guy. I think the first idea was convoluted and unnecessary, and not really explained either. Just give people a time limit. We aren't making our own teams, we're doing a mock draft, a sample of what the real draft may look like. If the guy isn't available within a reasonable amount of time, 24 hours during the the week, 36-48 hours over weekend, make the pick. This has been done here for years and it is not a problem. Sometimes 5 picks go off in a hurry, sometimes you wait a day. I don't see the issue.

I will take the J-E-T-S.

Oh God, it's a Pigman! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG81Bvyzi6w

don't let people who only check the board once a week participate Problem is, I don't know how often people check the board. Some of the guys who never post are the quickest to pick, so I wouldn't know who to keep out. Maybe do something like fantasy drafts do and if you miss a pick then for your next one we take suggestions from the populace at large and make a pick after 6 hours or so? You start it soon and then give people 24-48 hours to make a selection. It's not a problem.
