    I wish Soler and Bryant didnt have a combined 2 HRs this season, both hit in one game.
  2. UMFan83
    You'd like to win all of them, but yeah this one will be the most difficult to win. If we win, great, if we lose just don't lose badly and give them momentum.

    Any line changes in the morning skate? I shouldn't be worried about this but there's always the fear that Q will bench Teuvo. He had a great game on Sunday so hopefully he's earned some rope from Q.

    No I don't believe that. I would believe the assistant coach made a joke about it and Woj presented it as if he was serious. I used to like Woj but the dude has his agendas and has a hard time writing articles that don't reveal his bias. I know a lot of writers do that, but a lot of people anoint Woj as the gospel of the NBA.

    Might want to check your math there. Well this seems completely sensible. There has been so much losing that i forget who beat us, yeah i shoulda said Dodgers. I first found this msg board back when i was in college so maybe 01 or 02? been a long time anyways... NSBB wasn't created until 2003.... Are you going to run away again at the first sign of trouble?

    Jimmy Butler's postseason so far: 24.1 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 4.1 APG, 2.6 SPG, .471 FG%, .395 3P%, 7.0 FTA/G The counting stats are a little devalued when you realize he's playing 43 MPG, but apparently he's also leading the entire NBA in postseason winshares so far (1.6 in 7 games)

    Not a single minority in the crowd, interesting.

    With the cavet that I've been known to freak out irrationally in the past and will probably do it again before the month is out and be called out, is this really worth freaking out about? It's May 5th. Yes we want to win the division but whatever, I just care that we are good and we're going to likely be good and in contention this entire year. We are 13-11, and this despite our offense, which is supposed to be one of our strengths, being middle of the road. You would expect our prospects to improve as the season goes along. Between Soler, Bryant, Alcantara, Russell and Baez, we will get significant contributions from several of them before the year is out. The bullpen has been mediocre, but without Grimm and Ramirez, both who will be back. I trust that we will have a solid established bullpen before all is said and done. It sucks losing to the Cardinals and Brewers, and sucks badly to lose the way we did last night but lets not lose sight of the big picture. It's a long season and its simply not healthy to get too upset about 3 games in early May, when overall the results have been pretty good.

    Perhaps if he ever gets a good pitch to hit
  10. UMFan83
    No, they don't. Not in a down 3-0 sort of way, but if these idiots get 10 games up or some [expletive] we're going to be playing to get into a coin flip game and frankly I'm not thrilled at the prospect. Who cares? Yes I'd prefer to win the division but all I care about is making it however we can after watching 90+ loss teams for the last half decade
  11. UMFan83
    Lou called them Cubbie occurrences
  12. UMFan83
    Mark Reynolds baseball superstar. Oh wait he's hitting like .175 in games not against the Cubs and probably a shitty fielder
  13. UMFan83
    Time to change history
  14. UMFan83
    The Bulls have the Heat's number! Yeah I was going to say regular season doesn't matter all that much in terms of projecting playoff series. Shortened benches and equal rest, not to mention coaching over a 7 game series tends to play a factor.
  15. UMFan83
    I don't think the Bulls should be favorites by any stretch, but to say they have no shot is silly. There are some many wild cards on the Bulls. If Noah looks as rejuvinated as he did in G5 and 6 of the milwaukee series, and Rose improves as he continues to come back from the knee surgery, there is absolutely no reason why they can't win. I do think they matchup pretty good (or at least as good as a team can going against LeBron). I read somewhere that the Cavs offense relies on a lot of 3's, great because when we are playing well defensively we do a good job of making the opponent take 3s from lower percentage areas. The one area that scares me is that the Cavs weak spot is supposed to be defensively, but their defense has apparently been playing at a very elite level the last couple of months. That will probably get better without Love.

    Get a load of this [expletive] guy over here You should edit the title to add "No TT's allowed" Edit: Nevermind if you read that out loud it sounds like you are banning something else that I am not in support of banning.
  18. UMFan83
    Is this one of his legitimate or illegitimate kids?
  19. UMFan83
    Gonna be flipping during breaks of the Bulls game, which means that the Cubs will look awesome and hit a bunch of dongs but oh well.
  20. UMFan83
    Biggest difference is Yeo will be able to shut down the Toews line with last change up there. Hoping Hawks can steal one up there and end it Saturday. Ducks look to roll Calgary, so getting this done before 6 games would be nice. Yes, momentum can shift in a hurry in the playoffs when the venue changes. If we can weather the storm in game 3, their will might be broken. They are still a very good team though, better than last year's team. Last year they went down 0-2 and then won both games in Minnesota before the Hawks sqeaked out 2 close Ws to close them out. Regardless, they have won a road game in 16 of the 17 series they've played under Q (only one they didn't was 09 WCF against Detroit), so I'm willing to bet we win one of the 2 games, if not game 6 to close it out.
  21. UMFan83
    10-3
  22. UMFan83
    Agreed, that was a domination. Very impressive. Things tend to change quickly when the venue changes. Win 1 of 2 in Minny and we are sitting pretty.
  23. UMFan83
    I guess we aren't considered good enough yet that winning a series on the road against us saves jobs
  24. UMFan83
    Yessss Starting to get their mojo. All 3 goals tonight were great plays.
  25. UMFan83
    He's ridiculous. Kane in open ice gives goalies nightmares.
