    I think that is insane. If Trestman is a disaster, this team is going to fall apart in a hurry. They were held together by a defense that relied heavily on a system that is no longer being run by the people who implemented and ran the system. And all its best players are old. This team could be drafting at the top within a year or two if Trestman is a disaster. And a CFL coach who hasn't been in the league for a decade and is a weirdo has greater than a 0% chance of being a disaster. Trestman doesn't strike me as the kind of coach who can weather a disastrous start. He'll go down quick if the Bears are a trainwreck this year. What makes you think that?

    Rivera is the 6th pitcher to win ASG MVP, 2nd pitcher who didn't start and 1st to pitch an inning or less.
  3. UMFan83
    Holy [expletive], he won the MVP? That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. Don't people have performance clauses in their contracts for winning the ASG MVP?

    On a related note, I was going to make a comment about already having a 40 year old center when i looked up Nazr's age...dude is only 35?! He's less than a year older than Kobe

    I love twitter

    There has to be a better way to 'honor' Boston
  7. UMFan83
    Not that we expected Wood to pitch but the Astros, Padres and Cubs are the only 3 teams to not have a player in the game with an inning and change to go

    Meh...$8.5 mil for a projected 1.6 WAR this season.

    id love it if Cespedes just took 10 bunts here since he's already in the finals.
  10. UMFan83
    So umm...during the season I'm pretty sure DRose said he needed to be 110% to play.
  11. UMFan83
    He'll always be the 2nd best Henry Rodriguez in Cubs history.

    Does Tunney get elected by the voters, or does he get picked by the Mayor? Just wondering, don't know how the politics do in Chicago. If he is voted by the voters, then do what I would do. Vote him out in the next election. It's voting but he has pretty strong support in the Ward despite this. I believe his ward also covers Boystown and he is the first openly gay alderman. Edit: nevermind the alderman of the 46th ward is also gay

    Does anyone know if there is going to be a 2013 Stanley Cup champions DVD? I have been looking on Amazon and Google but havent seen any news about it. I swear right after the cup in 2010 there was at least an announcement of the upcoming DVD.
  14. UMFan83
    Pirri and Smith in also. Well yeah I just meant from outside the org
  15. UMFan83
    So basically Frolik, Bolland and Emery out, Khabi in

    i prefer to think of them living like cletus the slack jawed yokel. makes any measure of sporting success seem insignificant. Yes, the key is to not respect them as human beings. To the point where their dominance in baseball doesn't bother you because they are inferior to you in every other way.
  17. UMFan83
    awesome

    About 5-10% of my excitement for the return of football is the return of the Jay Cutler Show

    3 of them are at night. Saturday is a 6pm Fox game. He just meant the weekend games. yeah sorry i meant just friday-sunday.
  20. UMFan83
    I can guarantee you the Cubs have never had a weekend home series where none of the games starts before 3PM and 2 of the games are at night.
  21. UMFan83
    The goal is the same size though the depth of the net *might* be different. They've discussed making the NHL net 6" shallower to give more room to play behind it. European rinks look huge in comparison to what we're used to seeing NHL teams play on. I believe the net depth proposal you are talking about was approved last month by the league.
  22. UMFan83
    Yeah and those people (assuming they haven't been renting for 25 years) have likely seen their houses value triple over the time they've owned the house, largely due to the neighborhood built up because of the giant ballpark.
  23. UMFan83
    I really need to stop reading the things that Tom Tunney is saying, it's breaking my brain. OMG the lights from the 100 year old ballpark that has had lights for 25 years is bothering me at the house that I moved into 2 years ago. How come nobody told me that this stupid ballpark would need lights to play baseball at night?
  24. UMFan83
    Sounds like the Cubs got dominated there, no?
  25. UMFan83
    So much for Samardzija. This begins the death spiral for him. Remember when Rizzo, Castro and Shark were the core of the next great Cubs team? And now they're a bunch of washed up hacks. What a joke. May as well call them Choi, Patterson, and Hill. I am of course being facetious and give you the benefit of the doubt that you are as well. Nope, we need to trade them all now while they still have value. Maybe get some International Bonus money for the lot of em
