    MURT HURT today

    Is it a situation where not qualifying might be the best thing long term, just to force the US to make changes? I just don't see how staying completely out of the international spotlight for 4+ years could be considered a good thing for the US even if it means significant changes.
  3. UMFan83
    So if the US loses tomorrow, we aren't officially eliminated, but it becomes an almost certainty right? Especially because Guatamala and T+T still play each other and would almost certainly play to a 0-0 draw if it meant knocking the US out and both advancing. If that happens, can you imagine that the USMNT wouldn't have a truly competitive match until 2020? I mean I know Copa and the Gold Cup are competitive but not to the degree that the World Cup is. Guess we'd have a chance to see how good Klinsmann's youth program is, assuming they don't fire him.

    So every just eyeballing the entries so far, every single person has Schwarbs, and just about everyone has Heyward, and over half have Bryant and Russell

    seems like a strange move for him Doesn't seem that strange to me. He hasn't coached anywhere in 6 years, and the last time he was a relevant coach was probably 16 years ago when he coached the Jail Blazers. In his career he has made it to the NBA Finals once, 25 years ago as the Lakers head coach. I'm not saying he's a terrible coach, just a middling one and one that has been out of the spotlight for the better part of a decade. No one is giving him an NBA or power conference job, he probably has too much of an ego after 17 seasons as a head coach to take an assistant job (and if he was open to it he would have taken one in the period between getting fired by the Clippers and now). If he wants to get back into coaching, becoming a head coach at a lightly regarded low-major school seems like the most appealing option. Actually seems almost like Larry Brown taking the SMU job, except Larry Brown is a more accomplished coach and one with significant college experience with Kansas in the 80's.

    Unless you can convince Montero or Ross to play 1B for the first time in their careers. But I guess you said realistic.

    Guys I don't want to be irrationally negative here but I don't think the Bulls are going to win a championship this year.

    Looking like an entire half of the bracket will be ACC teams. Didn't we just have an ACC Tournament?
  10. UMFan83
    Time to give someone else a chance in goal. Been watching Howard at Everton this year and he's just not the same guy
  11. UMFan83
    Jesus christ

    Completely random rant but have you ever noticed that whenever there's a discussion on the internet about the Cubs championship drought, there will always be a Red Sox fan that chimes in to remind everyone that they were once cursed too. It's almost like they want that as part of their identity and can't stand that someone else has a more futile run than they have.
  13. UMFan83
    I always figured Szczur was much more likely to go north than Murton although I question that now that I go to his page and see he had a negative dWAR last year.
  14. UMFan83
    Nobody. Heyward was asking Fowler on 2nd if the called 3rd strike looked like a strike to him. Dex didn't answer clearly, and so Heyward was trying to get his attention, and Bumgarner got confused. I know. I was more calling Bumgarner a meatball for accusing the Cubs of stealing signs in a spring game
  15. UMFan83
    Who the hell steals signs in a Spring Training game?
  16. UMFan83
    Kick his ass Heyward
  17. UMFan83
    Candyman dongs up bumgarner!
  18. UMFan83
    Gold glover my ass
  19. UMFan83
    Its ok just a blister. I'll take that reasoning
  20. UMFan83
    Wow Jake pulled after 1/3 of an inning and 34 pitches
  21. UMFan83
    Jake not looking super sharp in his dress rehearsal game. He's hitting his spots though which is all I think anyone cares about Edit: or not
  22. UMFan83
    The thing I hate about a Schwarber Soler quasi platoon is that there is no good way to combine their names to sound cool like Bryzzo. So I can't say "Cubs best lineup minus Schwarler/Solerber"
  23. UMFan83
    Soler's could not be more perfect. another observation: "I Will Always Love You" was number 1 for a long time. Oh yeah, I was only 11 but I remember my mom playing the Bodyguard soundtrack on repeat for like 4 months straight, wanted to bang my head against the wall towards the end of that run.
  24. UMFan83
    these are still super fun to read, but I can't wait until the articles are about how awesome the cubs are instead of how awesome they will be
  25. UMFan83
    Speaking of A-Rod... http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/15051882/alex-rodriguez-new-york-yankees-retire-2017-season I can't wait to see him backtrack if he averages like 28 HRs the next 2 years and is less than 20 away from Bonds.
