  1. Ok I said yesterday that Zo is the only player in really worried about...add Javy to that
  2. Or Schwarber or Heyward. Figure out defense later
  3. While the last couple WS winners got off to a great start, that's not always the case: 2012 SF started 18-19 2011 StL started 8-9 and was 50-47 in late July 2010 SF was 40-39 at one point 2009 NYY started 15-17 and they won 103 games 2008 Phi started 11-11 It's still too early to be worried, unless you thought they were going to win 110 games. Yeah would certainly have liked it if they got off to a better start but honestly if i was a 10/10 in confidence to start the year I'm maybe an 9/10 now.
  4. who predicted a potential 3-6 opening homestand?
  5. Joe said yesterday that Kyle is dealing with a dead arm right now so I guess that could be some reassurance.
  6. 7 first inning runs this series for the Brewers. Blah
  7. Jesus this team is donging us to death. We are supposed to be doing that.
  8. "Alright which one of you has a dying relative?"
  9. I was wondering when scissors would get a start. Figured he would get one sooner than later, and Joe loves to give vets a day off before a day off.
  10. welcome to last week Wait until he finds out what happens a week afterwards
  11. That is awful. Also, it always struck me as funny that MLB.com hosts videos that show things like their umpires blatantly horsefeathering up a call.
  12. Cowards way out. Rot in hell you bastard
  13. Good sporting night This losing streak has gotten me to once again appreciate the joy of a simple regular season victory
  14. Not worried about any of the other starts this season by Cubs players except Zobrist. Good news is that if he does continue to flop into the summer there are easy options to replace him. Not that this is even a possible discussion yet.
  15. Really weird that when I did watch the Bulls this year it was hate watching and now all the sudden they are fun and exciting. I'll have to start over in the last row of the bandwagon but I'm back on baby!
  16. I think we should give Anderson a chance. He still has good stuff and we haven't given bosio enough time to work his magic.
  17. Cubs currently at -4 run differential for the year. After 14 games last year their run differential was +476
  18. Can you imagine how much more the fan base would be freaking out if we lost game 7
  19. That's such a strange rule. So he can come back after 80 games and play the rest of the regular season but once the playoffs start he is again ineligible. Perhaps he can help the fans at PNC Park make sure they are doing the correct chants in each inning during the Wild Card game.
  20. Interesting lineup.... Miggy is starting over Contreras for the 3rd time in 5 games.
  21. true, Raisin did it the right way, he should get to keep his thread. Mods please merge
  22. I know it was brought up in general baseball chat but i think its worth its own thread
  23. Reading the committed indian today and they seem to think the Hawks championship window is closed. Some of the reasons: -Keith is not the same player he was 2 years ago -Toews is a shell of his former self -Hossa looks done as a playoff contributor -Hjalmarsson has begun to decline You could always question the moving pieces that surrounded the sacred Blackhawks core but until now you couldn't question the core. Yes the Hawks have a lot of nice young pieces, but are any of them star quality? Do the Hawks need to condense the core and blow the rest of it up, take 2-3 seasons to rebuild and hope you open another window at the back end of Kane's prime? Most likely I am overreacting and besides the way Panarin's contract is structured and the age of Keith and Seabrook, it probably makes the most sense to milk everything that's left of them because they are hard contracts to move anyways. I know they led the west in points and its bad to draw conclusions from 3 games compared to the 82 preceding it, but even at their best this year the Hawks weren't the same type of puck possession team that was their trademark of the cup runs, and they have been destroyed by Nashville at puck possession.
