    I PM'd Tim and one other poster with the request that they not share the info or acknowledge that I told them (which I guess we can negate now because I'd like to head this off before it turns on me completely). Since it's negated... it was me. You all can shower me with attention in hopes that I'll budge and share this amazing nugget of information. I'll bite. In your opinion is this news as big as kyle has made it out to be?

    Kyle. That would be hilarious

    Yeah I'm not worried. It's a little [expletive] that they might to have to be the road team in the 2nd round against St. Louis and potentially in the 3rd round against Anaheim unless they do their annual playoff collapse but overall I'm just happy they are doing this well overall considering the short offseason, potential for cup hangover, olympics distractions, etc. You say "road team" as if they will only play on the road. The president's trophy/Stanley Cup run was nice last year, but 2nd/3rd seeds can just as easily make a run. They'll have plenty of home games and can win on the road. I know, that's why I said it's a little shitty, not devastating to their chances. I don't mind being the road team, especially a team as battle tested as them. I like knowing that if your team can win 1 of the 2 road games to start the series, the odds immediately shift in their favor.

    DePaul wins consecutive conference games for the first time in 6 years. Put it this way, the last time DePaul won 2 big east games in a row, the Cubs were a month away from begging their 97 win NL Central championship season.

The only major gripe to have about this team is their PK and sometimes their goalie.

    Who is Ty anyways? I've never heard of him.
  7. UMFan83
    That's crazy. The Bears haven't played in a road playoff game since 1994, but they have only made the playoffs in 4 seasons since then and played in 7 games (pathetic).
  8. UMFan83
    What is that 5 losses in 6 games, 4 of them coming in OT/SO?
  9. UMFan83
    I don't know. I just assume we're going to lose when we get to OT. Edit: I posted this before we lost

    If Kyle disappears forever we know what decision he made

    What would get em jazzed at Cubs Con would be for, after announcing the line of prospects that all walk down the carpet and greet the fans. Have Pat Hughes announce in his usual smirky style. The he wants to announce the newest Chicago Cub. Let's give him a big hand. Masahiro Tanaka!! WWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah but they already said it's not a player acquisition. It's gotta either be: 1) news about TV deal 2) settling with the rooftops to begin construction for whatever they can still do or something related to rennovation 3) Clark left because his planet needed him but was killed on his way home.

    LMAO, from Jesse Rodgers latest chat:

    Yeah, between this thread and the Deadspin comments, I had my share of laughs yesterday. It's not that I'm against the concept of introducing a mascot, I think its the combo of a quiet and depressing offseason and such an easy to mock first image of the mascot.
  15. UMFan83
    Yeah but in his only public interview since the injury he said he wouldnt rule out playing in the playoffs if he's healthy and feeling good. I highly doubt that he would make the effort now post-Deng trade.
  16. UMFan83
    Soler, Olt and Erik Jokisch

    First official appearance, with some familiar faces:

    The time savings are pretty overblown. You probably save an hour or longer layover, plus a 3 or 4 hour flight. It'd be pretty damn important to me. Especially when a flight from LA to Japan is 10-12 hours as well. Can't you fly pretty much anywhere from Chicago to Japan direct? Just to Tokyo
  19. UMFan83
    Deadspin's comments are gold.
  20. UMFan83
    Seriously, people need to relax. It's a freaking mascot. It's from Deadspin, I doubt they are taking this too seriously.
  21. UMFan83
  22. UMFan83
    Was this a demand by Tanaka?
  23. UMFan83
    Oh this is going to be fun
  24. UMFan83
    Umm guess its happening again?
  25. UMFan83
    Everything? No, if he knew everything that needed to be fixed, he would know that the DC needed to be replaced.
