    At this point, I hope the Hawks play themselves out of playoff spot. I don't get some people on here. I want them to make the playoffs, but not with the way they are currently playing. If they are going to play like Howry, I don't want to be embarrassed in the playoffs.

    At this point, I hope the Hawks play themselves out of playoff spot. There is about 11 games left in the season (give or take) what separates Hawks and the Ducks (9th in the conference) is 11 points. At one point the Hawks was soaring to a playoff spot---most notably the #4 seed---and all the Hawks had to do was keep everything tight and get rid for the playoffs. Right now the Hawks are not even guarantee to make the playoffs. It's cliche but, this team needs to do some soul searching cause they are playing like the Hawks of old.

    ATP I hope the Hawks miss the playoffs or ends up with the 7th/8th seed where the Wings or Sharks can end the Hawks season quickly.

    It sounds like Koskie is going to retire. It's too bad, I was pulling for him.

    Lou took him out the other day too, after only 2 ABs for a pinch runner. I think they are easing him into things. BTW did he have any hits? No.

    On March 12/13 the Blackhawks held a team meeting, and the topic of the metting is maintaining "playoff intensity" since then the Blackhawks are 0-4 against Isles/Avs//Devils/BJ. The Blackhawks have been swept since they wanted to maintain "playoff intensity." I know I sound like a broken record, but the Hawks are looking at an epic failure of a season, unless something changes.

    That thread would have been epic. Probably locked a while ago do to numerous personal arguements and meltdowns. Prolly, but don't forgot all the "season's over" overreactions Good thing season isn't here, yet.

    That thread would have been epic.

    Wow........Ascaino prolly just screwed his chances---if he had any----of making the roster. Giving up 5 runs in the 9th against the Giants.
  10. RedFlash
    No way dude. They beat Celtics last night, so according to Bulls logic they must lose tonight against the Thunder.

    I agree that based on his total numbers with the Cubs, Maddux shouldn't have his number retired. But to say he had "2 seasons of bad, old, overrated Maddux" is not sound reasoning. Looking at his numbers in his 2nd stint with the Cubs, he was essentially league average during that stint. His ERAs during his 2nd stint with the Cubs were 4.02, 4.24, and 4.69 with his short stint during his final yr in Chicago. His whips during those yrs were 1.18, 1.22, 1.29. His ERA+ were 109, 104, and 99. So no, I would not call his second stint "bad, old, overrated Maddux", he was league average. i think he's speaking relatively to the rest of his career....there is no reason Maddux's # should be retired by the cubs....fergie on the other hand....it will be a shame if they wreck fergies day by mentioning maddux Maybe he was, but he made it sound like Maddux was the 2nd coming of Shawn Estes or something, but in reality he was an league average pitcher. Maddux was ridiculous during his prime, and to compare Maddux at 40 something to when he was late 20s to mid 30s, is not right. Something tells me, Fergie is not going to have a problem if the Cubs decide to retired Maddux's number along with his.

    What was so shocking is that it was a NY MET who came up with the CLUTCH hit. :shock:

    NM, it's already been said.

    So...............they are planning to steal the Celtics jersies? 8-)

    Yeah, I don't see how Ichiro hits 220 this year in the majors from what I've seen in the world baseball classic vs. pitchers he's either never seen in his life or hasn't seen in years. Fukudome looked exactly the same from the latter part of 2008 as he did against Cuba. Ichiro has proven he can played in the majors, Fukudome has proven he can't hit anything away from him with any consistancy. So that comparasion, not valid.

    Man, are the Patriots annoying or what, but at least they are willing to go after legitimate great players. Too bad Angelo doesn't realize that it is ok to go after great palyers from other teams.

    Hopefully his issues have been overblown. He's an awesome talent. Yes he is. But anytime a player already has an agent, I mean handler, that can't be good. But if Lane Kiffin can get Bryce to sign on to playing for Tennessee and not Bryce Brown, and if Tennessee can break the cord between Bryce and his handler, then Tennessee got the 2nd best RB in the clas of 2009 (jab, jab). But from my knowledge Bryce is a good kid, it is his handler that is sleazy. Keep Brian Butler out of the clubhouse and off the field (practice or game day) and Tennessee got themselves a helluva RB. I've heard Butler's had less influence over Brown as the recruiting process has gone on. Apparently, his parents have taken more control of the process of late. If that is the case, then great news for Tennessee fans.

    When your last franchise QB is Sid Luckman you'd think a different tack might be in order. One would think we'd at least give something like this a try. Throw the house at a franchise calibre QB, just once. See what happens. But. It never goes down like that around here. Instead it's more of the "we need to fix the QB position" rhetoric from the GM, followed by the signing of Basanez-type junk. I agree. The lack of aggression on trying to improve this team at it's MOST IMPORTANT POSITION is quite disturbing. I get that Angelo wants to reward the players in-house, I get it, for the most part I agree with it. You should reward you own good players before going outside the org for players, but when you know for a fact that a QB upgrade is potentially available, I can't see how you let it pass, especially when you have guys like Kyle Orton and Basanez. If Cutler goes to another team for a package the Bears can beat, I would be pissed off.

And just for kicks, hey Hosak (I take great pride in knowing I am not your favorite dude on this site):

    Exactly. No one is going to go to this game. It's going to be embarrassing. No one wants to go watch a group of ridiculous underachievers bow out against one of Memphis's C-USA punching bags. I'm going to be at work so I won't even be watching. I can't even describe my level of dumbfoundedness over that blog rant, as if the NIT means even one tiny little thing. One of the worst things the NIT can do is give an underachieving team a home bid. No body is going to show up to that game. In 2001-2002 Iowa played LSU at home and nobody showed up to an Iowa loss. To get good attendance they should let the teams who don't go to the post-season much host or let teams who weren't expected to make the post-season host. Yeah, I refused to go to SIU's NIT game last year against Oklahoma St. That's an interesting idea, but I'm sure they would want to reward the better teams the home game so the fans can see them play a 'meaningful' game at least one more time. :-k I guess no one cares about the NIT then. Then what does say about the College Basketball Invitational?

    Was it a Fukucopter? He had a couple of Fukucopter"swings. His last strike out was a call third. Fukudome look exactly like he did last yr. I don't expect a good year from Fukudome.
  24. RedFlash
    I just watch Fukudome strike out for the 3rd time. It maybe just me, but I just don't see Fukudome having a good year for the Cubs. Fukudome has look horrible at the plate today.
  25. RedFlash
    It becoming clear to me that the Blackhawks are looking at a Cub like finish to their season this year. Cause the Hawks recent play (losing to POC team like the Isles) means this team is likely not going to have 1st rd home ice advantage, but also they are likely to be eliminated very early.
