    Maybe, but the Cubs probably believe in Alcantara as a super sub and don't want Bryant to move to OF? Now I guess Bryant will play 3rd, and Coughlan will start with Alcantara still a super sub

    Valbuena going to hosuton.....like a lot less
  3. UMFan83
    Fowler, CF Castro, SS Rizzo, 1B Bryant, LF Soler, RF Valbuena, 3B Baez, 2B Montero, C Alcantara, super sub Wow that is a freaking solid lineup

    Possiblities for ML names? Castillo Travis Wood Jaxon (yeah right) One of the marginal 5th starter candidates like Turner or Dubront One of the bullpen arms that might not make the 2015 roster

    Partial list of things that had to happen for the Seahawks to win that game: -Packers had to kick a FG on 4th and goal from the 1 foot line -Packers had to kick a second FG on 4th and goal from the 2 -On Wilsons 4th int with 5 mins left the Packers player who intercepted it (forget who) purposely went down at midfield even though it looked like he had plenty of running room and might have been able to score -Have their kicker throw a TD pass to a lineman on a fake FG attempt -Recover an onside kick -Have a heavily covered WR catch a pass from Wilson, who threw a wobbler across his body up for grabs to convert a 2 point conversion -Win the OT coin toss -Have Wilson throw 2 perfect passes 20+ yards downfield to finish the game Am I missing anything?

    Aaron Rodgers playoff record outside of the Super Bowl season: 2-5.

    Wtf Hawks. Get your heads out of your asses These dual poor runs by the Hawks (6-5-1) and Bulls (5-6) are annoying
  8. UMFan83
    That was about as improbable of a win as you can have. Still can't believe it happened. And in the second biggest game you can play in. Wow. so happy I don't have to watch GB in the Super Bowl. And now I can root for the Colts tonight to win. If the Packers had won Id have rooted for NE to give GB a better chance of losing.

    this is going to OT, better question is why Lynch didnt stop at the 1. 4 plays to score a TD, they would have and run down some time When you've got the TD, you don't pass it up if you're down. Too many weird things could happen. Exactly. You can't mess around with a fumbled snap, or an actual fumble. Plus the Seahawks have one of the best secondaries and overall defenses in the league. They should have all the confidence in the world that they would hold GB
  10. UMFan83
    Glad they scored but 1:25 and 3 TOs for a FG is like child's play for Rodgers
  11. UMFan83
    The Drive?
  12. UMFan83
    Ugh I don't want 2 weeks of hearing about the Packers and Patriots
  13. UMFan83
    Seattle is being killed in every way possible. Crushing TOs, inexcusable penalties to keep drives alive, terrible offense, defense getting gashed on the ground, terrible special teams, terrible QB play.
  14. UMFan83
    Ugh not that Michigan was going anywhere except maybe NIT but Caris Levert is out for the season with a foot injury.
  15. UMFan83
    I can't wait until GB wins the super bowl so I can make the most epic rant about this being the worst football season a fan could ever possibly experience in all 3 phases (teams I root for, teams I root against, fantasy football)
  16. UMFan83
    Yeah you really needed to go for it on 4th down there GB. 3 points is not going to cut it. IMO terrible decision by McCarthy
  17. UMFan83
    From some article by Issacson but I've seen this a couple of times since Fox was hired. I don't know maybe I'm just looking back on the Lovie era with rose colored glasses but I feel like his era was mostly defined by order and compatibility, and in his own way discipline within the team (yes he was player friendly and didn't hold guys accountable in the media but the behind the scenes impression I got is that the players were well policed behind closed doors and none of the locker room hinjiks we saw last year happened under lovie.) As for stability in coaching staff, maybe not so much with all the coordinates coming in and out of Halas Hall but I don't see how you can tell it will be this way with Fox either. Anyways I thought it was weird that people are remembering the last decade like this.

    Yes, but he was late this is so weird to me. jacque had two solid years with the cubs but i never felt like he was particularly loved by fans. do they always bring random weirdos to the convention? Not only was he not a fan favorite, but he was vocal about the [expletive], racist/racial treatment he got from some fans. I think he later downplayed that, but still, definitely not someone I'd expect to see back. And it was always a little odd how his career just stopped liked it did. Guess he just completely broke down. I think Todd Walker had an even stranger end to his career. First of all he was like an .800 OPS 2B with the Red Sox (although that meant less back then and his defense left a lot to be desired), accepted a backup role with the Cubs, had 2 .820 OPS years then got traded to SD and when his contract expired he just left the game. Granted he was terrible his year in SD but He was worth 2-3 offensive wins per year in 350-400 PAs with the Cubs. I feel like he could have gotten a contract somewhere as a backup or DH, at the very least a spring invite but he just decided he was done.

    Nope Blackhawks are a mediocre 6-6 in their last 12 games. Yuck Hawks are 2 points away from falling into a Wild Card spot in the West. No worries about not making it of course (still 9 points up on a spot) but blah.
  20. UMFan83
    Waiting 5 days for a Hawks game sucks. Losing that game sucks even more. Tie this up Hawks
  21. UMFan83
    Yeah we needed this one considering we have Hawks, @ Cavs, Spurs and @ Mavs in our next 4. The Hawks have been obliterating everyone in their path. They just won by 21 in Toronto and have won 31 of their last 35. Would be nice to play a good game tomorrow and maybe even win
  22. UMFan83
    It isn't a Cubs convention until Jacque Jones makes an appearance.
  23. UMFan83
    So...I'm assuming Fox being hired increases the chances of Cutler sticking around, am I correct? I really hope so, for all his faults I love him.
  24. UMFan83
    Maybe I missed this mentioned somewhere else, but he's saying Pace flew out to Denver to meet face to face yesterday/today and seal the deal? Yep. It was widely reported he was in Denver last night. Gotcha, I must have missed that, my bad.
