This what our 4th attempt in 4 years at finding a reliable backup RB? We had Kevin Jones, and he injured himself in the preseason and didnt give us anything, then we had Chester Taylor who blew chunks before cutting him, last year it was Marion Barber who was ok except he single handedly lost us a game that in hindsight would have likely put us in the playoffs so he's gone. Now it's Michael Bush. On the bright side, the backup RBs keep getting better as they come in.
-
No ones saying they are, just that they'd prefer to play them over another team. Doesn't mean they can't still lose to the Stars and doesnt mean they can't beat a team like Nashville.

Maybe not tonight but he's been pretty good since he came here from what I've seen. Not great, but certainly good enough for a 2nd or 3rd pairing defenseman. Eddie O was on the Score today and he mentioned that during the losing streak, Q was telling his guys to cheat a little bit on the defensive end to create more odd man rushes/offensive chances, etc. with the idea of ourscoring the opponent, but going onto that West trip we ran into some pretty good defenses who shut us down and really burned us. Since then the Hawks have been doing a lot less of that and have obviously seen better results. I dunno how much of that is the reason why we're playing better. I'm sure it is part of the reason, but to me the main reason might be as simple as good goaltending vs. bad goaltending.

LUONGOWNED I like that new addition! Hawks 9-1-1 in last 11
-

Always fun to see a Hawks-Nucks game tied late in the 3rd. Of course its even more fun when the score is 5-0 Hawks but then you have to worry about the Vancouver thugs taking out Hawks players. Hawks look like they are content guaranteeing themselves a point and getting this to OT
-
Good to see that the Bulls can still win over a bad team on the road without their best player and only playing good basketball for about 5 minutes
-
I could really see this ending the Saints run, or at least seriously hurting it. I know the Saints lost a few guys via FA this offseason and havent made any pickups to my knowledge. I don't know how much that has to do with this scandal or if its just normal NFL business, but it certainly doesn't make the Saints beter. Then you have Brees unhappy about not having a long term deal. There's just a black cloud over the entire organization from the GM, head coach, assistant coaches, and the players.
-
Updated to included the recently released 351-400 grouping. Only 1 Cub (Travis Wood) and 1 former Cub (LaTroy Hawkins) were in this set of 50.
-
Do they think that every person on their line is better than the best FA oline player or has the potential to be? They might be ok with it but you can still get a LOT better. We have the money once again and we don't address our many holes. Thrilled with Marshall but it took the Bears 3 years to finally address it. All that said, it's a new GM leading the team so I'm not sure it's fair to use Angelo's last couple of years against Emery. I'll give him at least one full offseason until I bash him mercilessly.
-
LOL. Bears love to go defense in the 1st round...except that their last 4 1st rounders, and 9 of their last 12, have been offensive players.
-
Wins against Columbus still count as 2 points right? Of course. It was just a boring game thanks to the effort by Columbus. I wasn't implying that you didn't think the win was a big deal, I was joking about how bad the BJs are.
-
That's how it felt for us last month. I would turn on the game midway through the first and expect to be down 2-0 only to find out we were down 3-0. I still haven't fully allowed myself to trust the Hawks since then.
-
If the Hawks can somehow take 2 points at the UC tomorrow against the Canucks, the Wings play at MSG tomorrow...if they lose the Hawks and Wings would be tied with 7 games left. Detroit would have 1 game in hand though.

Known Liar&Cheater Ryan Braun Caught Lying&Cheating Again
UMFan83 replied to ctcf's topic in General Baseball Talk
I loved this part: -
So does that mean we are going to carry a crapload of salary cap space into our 2nd consecutive season? How much space do we still have?
-
Yay! He'll be valuable in those 2 games he plays in before his next injury.
-
No. Leave it to Theo...
-
Well to be fair, it seems like they were going in hard on Cespedes but he got a ridiculous offer from Oakland and took it. The offense could have been better with Cespedes in there instead of someone like Byrd. Not drastically better but enough to have a small amount of hope for a playoff spot.
-
How am I just now finding out Peyton Hillis signed with KC last week?

Next 2 games after tonight are against Toronto. Sit him for those 2 games and hope he's ok to play a week from today against Denver.

I'd almost rather have Nocioni, who was also waived, over Fisher, and I definitely don't want Nocioni.
