Keith/Seabrook Hammer/Leddy Campoli/Lelonde?
-
ok now Richards is a possibility. damn this is interesting
-
Are the Hawks clearing space to make a run at Richards? Maybe if they managed to trade Soupy. Can't see the, going after any high priced players as we stand right now. The Brouwer trade is interesting though, seeing as we need to be acquiring depth, not losing what little we have.
-
That will look really weird in 30 years when people who werent around to see Artest play, will read about how a man named World Peace charged into the stands and started punching fans.

I put together the 16 games of interest from the schedule this year, which is basically the Canucks and Wings games along with a few others. 10/7 - CHI @ DAL - Season Opener, and a thank you to the Stars for choking away their playoff spot to us. 10/8 - DAL @ CHI - Home Opener, and now the Hawks fans can congratulate them as well 10/13 - WIN @ CHI - Only apperance of the Winnipeg Je...Thras....whatever they are this season. 10/15 - BOS @ CHI - Last 2 years Stanley Cup champs facing off 11/6 - VAN @ CHI - 4 Stanley Cup championships combined for these two franchises 11/16 - CHI @ VAN - Chris Campoli gets a hero's welcome upon his return to Vancouver 12/30 - DET @ CHI - First Hawks-Wings game isn't until Dec 30th? 1/5 - CHI @ PHI - Guess the SCF matchup from 2 years ago still has intregue 1/8 - DET @ CHI - Hope to be battling for 1st place in the Central right about now 1/14 - CHI @ DET - First visit to the [expletive] hole this season 1/31 - CHI @ VAN - LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU 2/21 - DET @ CHI - Another Hawks/Wings game...no home/home to end the year this year 3/4 - CHI @ DET - And another one 3/18 - WAS @ CHI - Sunday afternoon game, the paper champs vs. the 10 Champs, good stuff 3/21 - VAN @ CHI - One last tune up before our 4th straight playoff matchup hopefully 4/7 - CHI @ DET - Season finale

what in the hell did the flyers just do?
-
[expletive] me, Maggette and SJax are two of my 2nd scorer targets for the Bulls, Jackson especially. LOL @Sacramento in that deal. They get Salmons back, 3 years older and a lot more expensive.

I think he pretty much has to be the Cubs all star. Who else has stood out from this team? -Pena maybe but 1B is way to stacked in the NL to overlook the damage his April did to his season numbers. Maybe at least a consideration with Pujols maybe out for the game. -Soriano might get some consideration...I am not sure how crowded OF is. -None of the starters should really be considered, but in the pen, Marshall or Marmol are always options. Looking at NL SS, Reyes is the lockiest lock that ever locked and I believe is winning the fan voting (right?). After that Tulo is the only guy I think can be argued should get in before Castro. Hanley has a worse OPS for the season than Rnny Ceen, so unless he gets voted in, he's out. And considering none of the other Cubs seem to be obvious choices for all-stars, I think its more than likely our SS becomes ALL-STARlin Castro. (look, I found a worse nickname than Cassie!)

Levine: Hendry secure but firesale could begin

Hendry secure? Hendry secure? HENDRY SECURE? -
Cubs (Davis) @ White Sox (Peavy) 7:10 CSN
UMFan83 replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Guess we're going to need 2/3 at Wrigley to have a shot at the BP Cup. Yes the BP Cup, the greatest trophy in all of sports. -
Strong leadership could also mean putting together a plan, and sticking to that plan in the face of fan and media scrutiny. I'm not saying his plan is going to work or that I particularly believe in it, but I'm comfortable in letting him carrying it out without bowing into fan or media pressure.
-
That was complete ownage. Almost every pitch he threw out of the zone was swung at and every pitch taken was a strike.
-
Boo, we're losing again
-
Are you [expletive] kidding? Why is this bozo still on the roster? His 2.21 ERA and 1.08 WHIP as a reliever might have something to do with it. Fair enough. I still don't like him though
-
You can exceed the cap by I think 7% to pay bonuses. Also, I know what happened with the Hawks is that Toews bonus for winning the Conn Smythe would have put the Hawks over the cap and the 7% for that year, so they were applied to the next years team. That's part of the reason we were so strapped last year.

We tied

Hockey's cap is based on average annual salary over the life on the contract, so there's no need to necessarily front or back load any deals. Some teams successfully tricked the system by signing guys to 12+ year deals with the final 4 years paying the player $1 million or some small sum, so that the average salary was lower, but the NHL put a stop to that.
-
Very unlikely this game resumes. Roan got his info from the White Sox head groundskeeper. So unless you have access to a radar that someone who does this for a living can't get, the game will resume.
-
Relax, Skilling and Roan both said they expect more baseball tonight, probably starting up around 10pm
-
One positive: If we get a long delay and it resumes, Buehrle won't be in to pitch to Ramirez. An additional positive is that Ramirez has reverse splits this year (.790 OPS vs. RHP, .547 OPS vs. LHP) and its likely a righty will come in to relieve Buehrle.
-
The only way who is batting matters is if the road team takes the lead in the top of the inning and the home team hasn't had a chance to bat yet. Since the Sox took the lead a long time ago, the game would be called in favor of the Sox if it is in fact called.
-
If they call the game with the tying run at 3rd and 1 out that will suck.
-
The point is the topic of Hit 'Em Up isn't about domestic violence. There may be a point where you might be able to consider a sliver of it referring to domestic violence but songs like "Run for your life" are primarily focused on violent behavior towards women. If you want to submit Hit Em Up as an example of derranged violent behavior towards another person, it shoots right up to the top of the list.

What? No. Finish by year: 1999: 6th 2000: 6th 2001: 3rd 2002: 5th 2003: 1st 2004: 3rd 2005: 4th 2006: 6th 2007: 1st 2008: 1st 2009: 2nd 2010: 5th 2011: 5th (currently) Now that's a run of dominance. Finishing 1st or 2nd 4 times while finishing 5th or 6th 6 times. He was talking about the White Sox. Well I'm an idiot then.
