So the Cubs blew a 5-0 lead and lost the 1st game, blew a 2-0 9th inning lead to fall behind 3-2 before coming back and winning the 2nd game, had runners on 1st and 3rd with 1 out down 3-2 in the 8th inning of the 3rd game and didn't score, and now blew a 4-1 lead and now trail 5-4 in this one. Damn.

Time between Jordan's 1st retirement and his comeback game against the Pacers: 1 year, 5 months, 13 days Time between Rose's torn ACL injury and his comeback game in Brazil against the Wizards: 1 year, 5 months, 14 days

hawks are halfway through what would be a normal 82 game season at 32-5-4 (68 points). Projected record of 64-10-8 (136 points) over a full season.

*yawn* 2 more points :)

He has a little Mark DeRosa in him in terms of likability.

Dammit, I flipped to the blackhawks game right before the Castro AB, came back to see it was 2-1, saw Soriano single and then flipped back to the Hawks as Schierholtz stepped to the plate.

Stop taking penalties!

Navarro better homer to make up for that

And now its 1-0

Castillo just dominating with runners on 3rd and less than 2 outs. Runners on 2nd and 3rd, 0 outs in the 2nd.....K Bases loaded, 1 out in the 8th....GIDP

A Cub in full uniform showing off a World Series ring....things you don't see everyday

Could you run any slower Soriano?

YEAH DFA HIM AND SORIANO WE NEED TO MOVE PAST THE OLD ERA Mineaswell get rid of Shark too then.

Come on overtime has been a part of hockey since 1983. You can't call the OT win make believe. 4 on 4 is much newer...but I made my sour grapes post. Congrats to the Hawks..they swept the Wings in the last year of them being divisional rivals At least you have the majority of the last 80+ years.

Hawks clinch the division!

Thatta boy Captain Was starting to get worried there

Wasn't the deal done in 2002? It wasn't until 2003 when selling out every day became the norm.

This makes no [expletive] sense If you have a good team, the discussion is about the players that actually contribute on a daily basis. We're discussing which of 4-5 candidates ought to sitting on the end of the bench or DFAd. The fact that you are discussing who is the best fit for the end of the bench in no way shape for form indicates your team is bad. If your team was good and the starters were mostly settled then it would make perfect sense to focus on bench spots, seeing as how that is the way you can find the marginal improvement that matters to teams in contention. "Bench spots" is different from the 25th guy on a roster. If a team is a good team and in contention with settled starters, then 2-3 of the non-pitching bench players might play a serious role making a marginal improvement in helping the team. The 25th player is emergency filler for most teams. No it's not. Unless you are referring to a mop up man or long reliever. In that case Lillibridge isn't the 25th man. If you are referring to the bench most teams keep 4-5 bench guys usually a backup catcher, 2 backup IFs and 2 backup OFs. They are necessary to give the team a number of things including: defensive subs, positional versatility, the ability to hit lefties/righties for key situations, power option, pinch running, potential platoon partner, potential DH during interleague play. Those 4-5 bench spots make a big difference and fans of every team have a legit reason to worry about them.

Trey Burke to announce his "decision" on Sunday. I'm guessing the rest of the UM guys won't accounce their decisions until Burke makes it official.

Good God, it's mid-April. So much for Global Warming. That is not how global warming works. shhh, just let him be

Last (regular season) Wings-Hawks game as division/conference foes, right?
