    Plus basketball jerseys are made super long to reflect the jerseys the players wear and you either have to tuck them in and look like a geek or let them hang past your knees and look like you are wearing a dress.

    I'm gonna go ahead and disagree. I like it only when attending a game or going to the bar to watch a game with the team involved. I despise people who wear jerseys just to wear them on random days for no reason. I especially hate hipsters who think its cool to ironically wear old basketball jerseys. If I see one more douchebag in an Alonzo Mourning Hornets jersey that barely fits them at Lolla, I am going to punch them.

    It was a little tip Dale got from Dusty. "Catchers gotta hit 8th dude" Yeah that's terrible. I knew the lineup looked weak, but seeing the lineup together in that particular order mades me sad. I keep looking down the list looking for the "heart of the order" and it never comes.

    Clayton Kershaw got traded to the Nats? Damn that's huge news.

    Cool. They previously wore those jerseys back in 1997 for the very first Cubs/Sox interleague game in which the Cubs won big: http://cbschicago.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/51653240.jpg?w=300 Not sure if they've worn them since.

    I gotta say despite the rather unusual streaky season by the Hawks, there have been a few really positive developments this year. The emergence of Shaw, the improvement from Leddy, Kruger looking like a legitimate top 3 line NHL player, Stalberg kicking it up to a level that many people didn't think he could get to. And there is still a crapload in the pipeline. Unfortunately other than Leddy, there hasn't been much to be proud of in terms of blue liners, as well as goalies. I was hoping by now we would have an idea of who our long term goalie is going to be. But if anything we are further away from knowing that then we were the day Niemi signed with SJ.

    Moot point for tonight as least as Phoenix dealt SJ another blow to their playoff hopes. I'm traveling to Dallas for business next week and going to the Stars/Sharks game so I'm really hoping that SJ is still in the race at that point

    Also nice to prevent St. Louis from clinching the division on our home ice.

    Hawks have actually outshot their opponent in 9 straight games with the Hawks outshooting their opponents by 8+ SOG 7 of those games. 6-1-2 during those 9 games.
  10. UMFan83
    Yay, we win the crapshoot. Hawks were 4-2-0 against mighty St. Louis this year.
  11. UMFan83
    Yup, same can be said about the game against NJ earlier in the week.
  12. UMFan83
    That really sucks 3-1 lead with 10 minutes left and the Blues just dominated until they got 2 goals. The first never should have gotten by Crawford, and the 2nd shouldnt have happened if the Hawks can actually clear the puck successfully.
  13. UMFan83
    Yup just turned it over and caused the Blues to tie it with 1:30 left. Unacceptable.
  14. UMFan83
    Well, Castro and Garza find themselves in the 51-100 range, meaning no Cubs will be in the top 50 unless someone randomly puts like James Russell in the top 50. No surprise but there's no former Cubs either. I am assuming we won't see any of them in the top 50 either.
  15. UMFan83
    I usually goto the bathroom when the Hawks go on a power play since I know there is a 2 minute period when the Hawks won't score. Wow its horrible to watch. If they can even keep it in their zone for half the power play, I consider that a success for them.
  16. UMFan83
    Didn't realize this but the Blackhawks can clinch a playoff spot with a win tonight and a Phoenix regulation loss. 4 straight years of making the playoffs after once in the last ~12 years before that.
  17. UMFan83
    OK so you admit the Cubs were not trying to mislead the Red Sox and he passed your physical. Your own doctors said he was healthy. So what exactly do you want from us? If Theo was randomly arrested for drug trafficking and sentenced to a year in jail, the Cubs aren't going go back to the Red Sox and ask for something to make up for it.
  18. UMFan83
    Tough [expletive] Boston. You wanted Carpenter, he got injured. Deal with it. It's not like the Cubs pushed Carpenter on him, from what I've read, it was more like the Cubs relented and said 'fine you can have him'

    ^ I loved that book. Paul Shirley is a pretty good writer, but when he goes on political rants (not in the book but in other writings), he loses me. Fun to read a little insight into what the Bulls org was like during the baby bulls days
  20. UMFan83
    No the game was at the Phillips Arena, not American Airlines Arena.

    Western conference playoff race is starting to get interesting. 6 teams are fighting for the last 3 playoff spots. There's the Pacific Division champion, which will be the 3 seed. San Jose, Dallas, Phoenix and Los Angeles are separated by 2 points. The 3 teams that lose that will then compete with Calgary and Colorado for the 7th and 8th seeds. Those 5 teams are separated by 2 points as well. Should be in interesting week!

    Based on what we can see of her, I'm led to believe he does actually have quite a "bitch" problem on his hands.
  23. UMFan83
    Why do you think its there?
  24. UMFan83
    1 Cub in todays update (101-150) and its Carlos Marmol at 147. Who are we missing? Just Garza and Castro I think. That would leave 8 of the Cubs 25 man roster not in the top 500. I would assume that will include mostly relievers. Aramis Ramirez (133) is the only former Cub in this batch.

    After I posted that I did a TwitPic search for Wrigley and got this from 10 days ago (March 18) http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net/photos/large/543539242.jpg?key=40003000&Expires=1332962075&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIYVGSUJFNRFZBBTA&Signature=tbzMcPFzdyY61ob4RpgxksCSFfFrKMd7hTXER8GDTxF7s0TwQ4n2x5n4BeBavtcqMDIH0OaLdFVuqr8A2cNj4z4rc2U7Bdv5v~Op3Xf93dQlOs5HQELy-9bAdpE2pt6-pH~sWAf~0Sbos67cZXwQyKCToK2qkhXNCqhQwZ0tmkM_
