    and even if they had to bring him up, why did they have to use him as anything but an ultra last resort? First major Maddon head scratcher
  2. UMFan83
    Were gonna need to work on our OF defense

    The Rockies did a moment of science for Ernie Banks. Classy

    I know there is next to no chance of the Hawks playing the Ducks but if that happened and you got thru that, you would have a second round against one of Vancouver and Calgary. Then get to take on the tired winner of the Central. I'd rather play the Ducks than St. Louis that's for sure. Maybe Nashville too, but probably not because of the travel involved with a road of Anaheim and potentially Vancouver.

    So it's important unless you are the Kings.

    3 games, 3 catchers. Please have a good game so we can trade you

    How important is goal differential as a predictor for the playoffs? If so, despite everything the Hawks have the 2nd best GD in the West at +41 (St Louis is at +45) and the 4th best in the league. And despite the terrible defensive play at times, the Hawks are tied with Montreal for the Jennings trophy with 1 game to play. The problem is the offense, which is 5th out of 7th in their own division in goals scored, and tied for 8th in the West (and right in the middle - 15th in the league). The good news is that despite the struggles, the core of the Hawks is much better than their play this year. If we can get Kane back in the 2nd round (sorry I'll believe the 1st round talk when I see it), we should get a much needed boost.

    I have no idea what to make of this team. They could win the Cup or they could get swept in the first round. Kane should win the Hart because of how terrible the offense is without him.

    Bryant has now driven in half as many runs as the Cubs have scored this year. RBI single and stolen base

    He would be great if the point of hockey was to turn the puck over in your own zone.
  11. UMFan83
    Wow that is freaking fantastic

    I didn't realize how close they were. This is something that could effect him all year. Sorry to tie a tragic event to its effect on baseball, but its just a stray thought I had. Condolances to Javy and his family.

    1) a high shoulder isn't in the same universe as an elbow to the head 2) I bet you 8 million imaginary internet dollars that Sedin would reference something Keith did before that as his excuse for being a dirty little tool. 3) Two wrongs still don't make a right The main thing I didn't like about that incident is Keith's taunting afterwards, especially because its an obvious head injury. That said, I'm sure taunting like this happens all the time, even from guys you would generally consider "good guys", but this one just happened to be caught by a mic.

    So I believe if the Flames beat the Kings in regulation tonight, LA is out. If the Kings gain 1 point today, then the Jets need 1 point to eliminate them (because the Jets would lose the tiebreaker to LA)
  15. UMFan83
    Matt Szczur of course
  16. UMFan83
    That team is full of so many tools. Reaves, Jackman, Ott, their fat ass coach has them burned out by the playoffs every year. I think if they finish first Minnesota will knock them out so Reaves can wait another year for his revenge. Funny thing is they probably think we have so many tools between Seabrook, Shaw, Keith, Carcillo, etc

    What was the reason for starting Wood? I figured with all the off days and rainouts the Cubs would take the opportunity to skip their 5th starter. Everyone would still have at least an extra day or two of rest.
  18. UMFan83
    He's back!
  19. UMFan83
    So mad there's another off day tomorrow. Oh well, hopefully the bats come alive in Colorado. Guessing it will be Hammel on Friday, Hendricks on Saturday and maybe Lester on Sunday? Or will they start Wood and give Lester the extra day of rest?
  20. UMFan83
    1 down, at least 89 to go! Also Fowler catches fly balls oddly.
  21. UMFan83
    Looks like the legs are fine
  22. UMFan83
    Everytime I see the camera pan over wrigley field and see the video board, it looks like it'sa rendering.
  23. UMFan83
    When will the Cubs score their first run? I'm voting for a 2 spot in the 6th today
  24. UMFan83
    lol Jake takes 3 straight pitches right down the middle. But at least he's trying to get his pitch count up
  25. UMFan83
    Thank you! Looks very ordinary
