  1. I don't understand why there has to even be a reason. I mean everyone knows what the Cubs are doing and they aren't the first person to do it. I'm sure he wants to avoid a grievence being filed and things getting ugly but the dude is playing by the rules and everyone knows he will be up in a week.
  2. Hawks and Preds are going to go in their series combining for 10 straight losses. 4 for Chicago, 6 for Nashville. At least this one was completely meaningless, but I really wanted at least a point going into the playoffs even if none of the guys gave a [expletive].
  3. First they took his eyes, then they took his wrist
  4. Shoot we need a third baseman. Anyone know if we have anyone good in Iowa?
  5. They've decided to show mercy to the poor Rockies
  6. 3-1 count with runners on first and second with no outs, and Kendrick is out of the inning in 2 pitches
  7. Wait you don't have to rely on BABIP luck if you simply hit it over the fence? Amazing
  8. Alright. Hawks and Predators it is
  9. So the Blues are up 3-1 after 2. Any St. Louis win locks the Hawks into a series with Nashville correct?
  10. Bullpen has been awesome outside of Schlitter who won't be here long. Offense has been having good ABs and has had bad BABIP luck. And I don't care how many years in a row we've struggled with RISP, I will still believe it will even out.
  11. completely agreed, though if jonmdavis hears us say it we will likely take up residence on the bottom of lake michigan very soon. now that dude jumped ship completely No joke - saw him at Wrigley on opening night. WTF so he just doesn't like us anymore? seriously though i remembered you saying that he said he just didn't like baseball anymore or something. how random that you'd run into him. I follow him on Twitter. He does a bunch of youtube videos of Northwestern football/basketball games. Also Pat Hughes is awesome
  12. You'll just have to wait until Sunday
  13. 3 games, 3 runs, 12 hits, 2-678 with RISP We'll get em tomorrow
  14. Alright top of the order. Time for a 4+ run rally
  15. 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
  16. Were gonna need to work on our OF defense
  17. The Rockies did a moment of science for Ernie Banks. Classy
  18. 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.
  19. So it's important unless you are the Kings.
  20. 3 games, 3 catchers. Please have a good game so we can trade you
  21. 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.
