    http://sports.yahoo.com/news/boston-celtics-top-5-reasons-theyll-reclaim-atlantic-221600601.html Wow, this is terrible

    The big guy in the back wearing the different-colored jersey can use his hands, everyone else cannot. Fouls work like fouls in basketball re: contact. Offsides is when an attacking player is closer to goal than any defending players other than the goalie when his teammate passes him the ball. Now on to more important stuff. What is the buzz like in Seattle? Enough to penetrate the non-soccer fan public? I thought people in Seattle treated the Sounders like a Big 4 team already. When I was there in June their logo was everywhere.

    Big fecal league week for the Cubs, first with a separation matchup against the Phillies who are 1 GB us then a weekend series in St. Louis who is fighting for the non fecal league division.
  4. UMFan83
    2 runs on 29 hits the last 3 games.
  5. UMFan83
    2 run double. 3 would be very impressive. Was just about to ask how that was possible.
  6. UMFan83
    We're back to being horribly unlucky. Meh the Dodgers could have had 3-4 HRs already if the wind wasn't blowing in hard.
  7. UMFan83
    19 scoreless innings in a row
  8. UMFan83
    It's getting to the point where it's having a detrimental effect on the organization to keep the team in Daytona
  9. UMFan83
    It's really not all that tough to deal with.
  10. UMFan83
    6-4 West Coast road trip. Come home and start a 10 game home stand 1-6 if we don't come back today.
  11. UMFan83
    And the Cubs are....playing at exactly the pace they were projected at (74-88).
  12. UMFan83
    Don't really agree with him that the Lovie firing was bound to be poorly received, but w/e. Not sure if I'm as sold on Emery as Barnwell is, but this was a good read at least.
  13. UMFan83
    I beg to differ. They are exceptionally fun bad! I love it every day! :twisted: Yeah, this is enjoyable. Apparently they haven't been this bad since 1980, so this is the worst White Sox team in my lifetime. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it. The Sox have always been competitive. 2007? They've had just as many playoff appearances in the past 20 years as have the Cubs. Granted, it's pathetic for both sides of town, but they haven't been exponentially, 2005 withstanding, better than the Cubs in our lifetime (assuming early 80's on). Yeah but we have more in the last 15 years 00-05-08 vs. 98-03-07-08 so HA
  14. UMFan83
    The best part is they are kind of doing this halfass rebuild, and are kind of straddling the line between a complete gut of the team, and entertaining dreams of competing next year. Their farm system sucks, their offense sucks, their management sucks. They might be bad (or at best mediocre) for awhile.
  15. UMFan83
    Poor Royals...win 9 in a row but still 4.5 games out of a Wild Card spot because Cleveland has won 8 in a row, and the first place Tigers have won 5 in a row themselves. Hope the Royals can somehow keep going and make the playoffs. Would be odd to see them and Pittsburgh get in during the same season.

    Insane to project a 16 year old, but if he actually becomes the elite talent we hope he is, whats the likeliest year we can project him to make the majors? 2017-2018 ish?
  18. UMFan83
    Rank of NL teams in terms of most hated to least 1. Cardinals 2. Brewers 3. Marlins (03 and Loria) 4. Diamondbacks (07 and their stupid uniforms) 5. Dodgers (hate them for 08, mannywood and their stupid spending abilities canceling out Colletti) 6. Reds (rising since they're actually good now) *Where the Astros would have gone* 7. Mets (for nostalgia stake, Victor Diaz and not being able to beat the Cardinals in 06) 8. Giants (89 and the Bonds era, and their 2 out of nowhere world series winners) 9. Phillies (hate them for winning the world series the year we had the best record in the NL) 10. Padres (too young for 84, but will still hate them and their depressed hitting ballpark) 11. Braves (98 and getting to enjoy Maddux's prime) 12. Rockies (Meh) 13. Pirates (will probably hate them more in a couple of years) 14. Nationals (who can hate the old expos?)
  19. UMFan83
    Rizzo back up to .787 OPS. Would like to see him at least get to .820 or so by the end of the year.
  20. UMFan83
    So basically some patience and luck on balls in play and we're a good offense
  21. UMFan83
    In case anyone else cares about this sort of thing:
  22. UMFan83
    You still had dialup in 2004?
  23. UMFan83
    I don't think any of the other candidates (Dejesus, Nate, Russell) are likely to pass through waivers. It's possible they get claimed and the Cubs work out a trade though I guess.
  24. UMFan83
    I'm assuming this is just Sullivan trolling us a bit, but its at least worth discussion. Do we really expect the Cubs payroll to be under $75 million next year? I'm assuming that $75 million figure doesn't include paying Soriano though, so it would be a little higher. $75 million seems way too low for a team that fans are expecting to take the step to respectability next year. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-spt-0801-2014-cubs-chicago-20130801,0,5504726.story

    That doesn't sound like a guy that plans on letting the franchise QB go anywhere to me. http://mmqb.si.com/2013/07/31/phil-emery-3q/ So basically, Mike Tice was getting fired no matter what, and Lovie and Jay didn't have a great relationship.
