I like the move. Maholm isn't a sexy pitcher (you know what I mean), but has been fairly good in the past, albeit inconsistent. Will be a good test for our new pitching coach. Assuming Garza is traded, our rotation would be something like Dempster Maholm Wood Volstad Wells/Sonnanstine Am I missing anyone? Again not a sexy rotation (again, you know what I mean), and it will have its problems but it could be worse. Say, that's a great slogan for the 2012 Cubs: It could be worse! -
Thekapman just said on CTL that his sources tell him the Cubs and Tigers are "down the road" on a trade for Matt Garza. He said the Cubs are known to covet 3 specific prospects, for some reason he didnt name 2 of them, he said one was a pitcher, one a 3B, and the third is Casey Crosby.

I'm guessing GB stands for God Bless, but what is it squared? I think he's calling all his followers square. "God Bless you squares"

The second awesomest HOFer to be inducted next July

Unbridled enthusiasm? Well , that's what led to Billy Mumphrey's downfall. hmm. interesting take. NO SOUP FOR YOU

This goes against all logic, but I just have this feeling that the Texans will be hosting the Broncos in the AFC championship game. It's like 2008 when the crappy Cardinals somehow hosted the NFC championship game against the 9-6-1 Eagles who needed considerable help to get into the playoffs.

4 losses in a row. 1-4-1 in the last 6. Slide continues. Score 2 goals in the first 5 minutes then nothing for the rest of the game. Goal called off, penalty shot missed. Hawks Blues and Wings in a 3 way tie for 1st. We could easily go from 1st to 6th in a matter of 10 days.

Are you talking about the penalty shot? I don't think Toews was on the ice so he could t be selected.

you don't believe Nope, I am trying to bring positive energy to the great Tebus by doubting him.

Too bad Ryan Clark couldn't play. The Ravens have to be thrilled that the Steelers are out.
-
I don't know why I didn't bet on Denver. It made so much sense that Denver won.
-
And the New England Patriots are in the AFC championship game. Is there a way you can bet on either the Ravens or Pats representing the AFC in the Super Bowl?
-
So much for the new rules. Wow, Tebus does it again!
-
Damn 5-on-3's. 2-1 now.
-
Ugh I thought the Falcons would keep this competitive.

Michigan up 13 on Wisconsin in the 2nd half. I know Wisconsin is on a big slide but with Memphis sucking, this would be UMs biggest win so far. There will be plenty of chances to get good wins in the Big Ten but it would be good to get the first one out of the way.

Trading Soriano

Regardless of how viable it is, it sure seems by the rumors coming out, the Cubs have turned their attention to a Soriano trade. I would hope if one is made its done over the next week or so. -
I honestly don't think that it will take that long to compete. It might take until 2015 until we are the high oiled machine that we hope to be, but in the meantime, we will get better and eventually will supplement what risks don't work out by a few big FA signings next offseason and the season after. When that happens we'll be in a position to compete as early as 2014. I guess reasonable goals might be: 2012: none, 2013: .500, 2014: competing for playoff spot, 2015: world series contender.

No he was talking about Detroit. The secondary obviously had a terrible game. He went on twitter after the game and saw all the negative tweets towards him and responded with that. I understand being mad and frustrated but come on man.

Wow...Lions CB Aaron Berry tweets after the game: http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/853642/Aaron_Berry.PNG Classy

Not quite sure why people even get so annoyed at such things. I guess I mineswell learn to spell. How much time do you spend on this forum every day? -
A couple of players including Rose looked gassed last night. If they are gassed now, I don't want to see how they look in 6 days when they've played 5 more games during that span. Maybe part of it is the fact that they've been traveling nonstop since the season started and have had little time to rest at home. 7 of the first 9 on the road.

Castro accused of sexual assault, no charges filed
UMFan83 replied to A New Era's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It was a front page headline on ESPN.com yesterday. Not one of the main stories, but on the list of "Headlines" on the top right side of the page.
