    A lot of talk on a couple of Wings sites saying that this move will also move Detroit to the Eastern Conference Awful. Probably a good thing for the Hawks to get a consistent contender out of the conference, but playing the Wings once or twice a year would suck.

    I dont mean to keep piling on but Buckner is so bad, I feel bad for him. He's really awkward in general. He keeps bringing up random topics at inopportune times. I know he's trying, but he's not succeeding.

    The score is strangely similar to the result of the first Cubs-Red Sox game at Wrigley in 2005. That one was a 14-6 Cubs victory.
  4. UMFan83
    At least we're helping the Red Sox get a couple of their slumping hitters on track.
  5. UMFan83
    The Red Sox have scored more runs in 5 innings than they did in the entire 1918 World Series.
  6. UMFan83
    Doug Davis is the type of pitcher you can live with for awhile if you have a good offense. Innings eaters are worthless on a team like the Cubs who rarely score more than 4 runs a game.
  7. UMFan83
    Holy crap they've only played 3.5 innings in 1 hour 37 minutes? Doug Davis is definitely at least a slight upgrade over James Russell, but I don't know if its worth it to double the length of the game for 1 or 2 less runs per game.
  8. UMFan83
    Same here. I'm gonna give it another Cubs at bat before I turn it off. If this was any other matchup at any other park, I'd be playing video games or something already.
  9. UMFan83
    It'd be awesome to have a lineup that works the count and has good at bats a majority of the time. We are so far away from that it's not even funny.

    Where art thou Chris Archer or Tom Gorzelanny?
  11. UMFan83
    On an IF hit, a walk and a seeing eye single that hit the SS's glove on the way into LF
  12. UMFan83
    BTW, spectacular throw by Koyie Hill. Just an amazing defensive catcher
  13. UMFan83
    COBS DEFENSE SUCKS LOLZ
  14. UMFan83
    He's throwing every pitch in the dirt
  15. UMFan83
    You know Doug Davis has been throwing 85 MPH fastballs for awhile now and has maanged to do OK for himself.

    Interleague matchups that are being played for the first time this year: Cubs @ Boston Cincinnati @ Baltimore St. Louis @ Baltimore Houston @ Toronto Tampa Bay @ Milwaukee Interleague matchups that still havent happened after this year: Atlanta @ Kansas City Cubs @ Oakland White Sox @ Mets St. Louis @ Angels Dodgers @ Yankees Tampa Bay @ Dodgers Minnesota @ Atlanta San Diego @ Toronto Texas @ St. Louis I can't believe after 15 years all these matchups haven't been played yet. That is some patience for the MLB to hold off on series like Dodgers @ Yankees, and Cubs @ Red Sox, not to mention other World Series rematches Minnesota @ Atlanta and Cincinnati @ Baltimore.

    So Westbrook is benched the entire 4th quarter but the Thunder wins. Gonna be an interesting couple of days.

    I'll say the first part of the sentence. Certainly not the 2nd. It's harder to play someone closer than losing game 7 in OT on their home ice. but the fact that we were dominated ni game 1, outplayed in game 2, outplayed in game 6, and mostly outplayed in game 7 pretty much gives me no reason to say the Hawks were the 2nd best team or even 7th best team.
  20. UMFan83
    I do feel pretty confident that we will take 1 in Miami. The goal at this point should be to win 1 of the 2. Doesn't matter which one, but I think Game 3 is our better chance.
  21. UMFan83
    No but maybe the 1 and 4 for D12
  22. UMFan83
    Charles Barkley was on ESPN1000 yesterday and they were asking him dumb questions like "would you say that Derrick Rose is already the 2nd best Bull of all time?" and "Do you think we can mention Rose in the same convo as MJ yet?" To his credit, Charles was able to keep his poise and not slap Waddle and Silvy.
  23. UMFan83
    And we have a longer wait between games 2 and 3. *sigh* Yay for 2 games in 8 days.

    The point is, only stupid people would claim a conspiracy either way. A couple of years ago during the pre-lottery show, they showed a mock of the ping pong ball drawing system works and it was actually pretty dull. Especially because there are like 1000 different combos for the worst teams so even when they announce the numbers it takes a second to figure out who actually won. I like the current format. If we did it the other way, we wouldnt have the scenarios where a team is supposed to be called at a certain spot and isn't, meaning they've moved into the top 3. And the NBA's sponsors probably prefer that commercial betwee 13-4 and the top 3. It makes for good tv. I enjoyed greatly running to real GM during that commercial break and speculating in a panic about what pick the bulls were gonna get. I guess your system wouldnt be all that worse. I just see no problem with the current system. And if Barack isn't going to feed the conspiracy theorists by releasing Osama's photo, then I don't see why the NBA has to cater to them in this situation.
  25. UMFan83
    This will surely lead the Bulls to victory. I love it when MJ openly roots for the Bulls. Since he's an owner of another team, it might not happen tonight. But it would still be sweet to see. Do you think anyone would be mad if MJ openly rooted for a team he won 6 titles with if they werent playing the team he currently owns? I doubt it.
