    What the hell did Russell do to Sveum? The dude isnt a LOOGY...he can get righties out and he's probably the best reliever on the team.
  2. UMFan83
    thanks for the great insight

    I don't think we'll get enough opportunities to break the record. Tonights blown save was the 6th and moved us past 2 other teams who were tied at 5

    Please walk in the winning run....you know you want to.

    Cubs r funny

    I love it...was just about to praise Ransom for a great game as he made that diving stop and actually had a quick thought of "as long as he doesn't throw this one awa- aww dammit:

    Agreed. I don't really know where I stand to be honest. Part of me is really frustrated because it seems like he should play, but the rest of me isn't going to turn on the dude if only because he's going to be a Bull for the next several years and will be back eventually. Plus I feel like there has to be more to the story.

    Just for fun since Len and Jim were talking about home runs in their first Cubs AB: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=7880467

    I saw some Hart rankings article the other day and they had Toews 5th...there was another one (B-R though) that had him 1st, but I don't think there's enough buzz out there for him to win it.

    I keep waiting for the Cubs to have at least one breakout offensive game. So far we've only reached at least 7 runs once all year, and we lost that one. The Pirates are the only other team to have had so few 7+ run games this year, and only the Cubs and White Sox have failed to score more than 7 runs in a game this year. Teams like Colorado and Oakland have scored at least 7 runs 8 times this year already.

    That's gonna make Sveum happy

    I love B+B but I guess I can understand why people hate them.

    Yeah, I'd call it a "smaller major city". It has about the same population as Milwaukee. But as Tim mentioned, its metropolitan area is substantial -- about 4x larger than Milwaukee's. It's metropolitan area is larger, but it also is the only city with its own region supporting the same team. There's 14 million people almost exclusively in support of the Boston teams. Milwaukee is right down the street from Chicago with Minnesota to the West and Detroit to the East. The heart of Milwaukee support is basically just the 5+ million people in Wisconsin. I think the closest comparison to New England may be Arizona, which is the only game in town, for miles and miles. But that is a much more spread out population, and a huge portion of it is transplanted from other locations. For sports support conversations, Boston does not belong in the "smaller city" discussion. Denver too is fairly isolated, and have pretty much the entire rocky mountains area as their fan base.

    Roses is basically using up the majority of his goodwill that he gained over his first 4 years with the Bulls. He was accessible, said all the right things, won an MVP, led the team to the best record in the NBA 2 years in a row, etc. People are frustrated, but the media is going to treat him better than Cutler, who is known to be aloof.
  15. UMFan83
    I wish they just kept signing a bunch of 30-some veterans every year to fill gaping holes. It worked so well for us over the last 100 years, the Ricketts would have to be complete morons to not realize this.
  16. UMFan83
    He had some moments all game where he looked like he was in clear pain but yet had a phenomenal game and did what he always does. [expletive] off, D-Rose. If Noah is playing through this Rose could be out there now, even if it's only 25 minutes a game like Noah is playing Leave Rose alone, he hasn't had divine intervention yet.

    Swinging at ball 4...gotta love it
  18. UMFan83
    What channel is this game on when CSN and CSN+ are taken with the Bulls and Cubs? Just hurry up and lose already Cubs....or win already Bulls
  19. UMFan83
    Not to be a negative nancy in my own thread but this just seems like a game the pen is going to blow.
  20. UMFan83
    Go Cubs
  21. UMFan83
    Yeah but from what I was reading, the Jets would have been entitled to receive a 3rd round compensatory pick if Revis walked after next season, so they probably would have gotten that pick anyways. But yeah its not a bad return at all....funny to see how upset Jets fans are about the trade.
  22. UMFan83
    Correction, 0-3-1 I think you mean 1-2-1 sox, cubs, bulls, and blackhawks. am i missing something? they all lost. A Sox loss is a win for Cub fans. Yeah. And if someone called me out on that I was gonna say the Fire won and the Sox don't count.
  23. UMFan83
    I find the race for the 8th seed in the West very interesting, obviously partially because it will effect the Hawks. 7. Minnesota 51 points (3 GR) 8. Columbus 51 points (2 GR) -------------------------- 9. Detroit 48 points (4 GR) 10. Dallas 48 points (3 GR) 11. Phoenix 46 points (4 GR) Phoenix is probably out, but they play Detroit tonight and have a chance to really make it tough to get into the playoffs. Here are the remaining schedules. MIN - v LA, v EDM, @ COL CLB - @ DAL, v NAS DET - v PHX, v LA, v NAS, @ DAL DAL - @ SJ, v CLB, v DET PHX - @ DET, v SJ, v COL, @ ANA
