    I'm sure mocking the mods will just be overlooked.

    I feel like they are our big market clone. Lots of high priced aging talent. Except they have Reyes and Wright and we have Castro and....Brett Jackson? Oh and also they are broke and we are just frugal (for now).

    The officials were mostly fine. I actually thought in terms of "blatently wrong calls", it was even, as there were a few plays that definitely went in favor of the Bulls and shouldn't have. In terms of borderline calls, I think the Heat got a good deal more of those calls, but what do you expect on the road against a team with 2 of the premier superstars in the league? It's something you have to accept if you are a fan of the NBA. And it really wasn't that bad tonight....the Heat used a lot more pump fakes and were able to get their guards in the paint a lot more than the Bulls. When you let LeBron get the ball in the paint, 75% of the time its going to be a shooting foul or a high percentage shot attempt. So yeah, in no way did it cost us the game.

    If this has been discussed in this thread I apologize. How much do our chances of getting Pujols depend on retaining Jim Hendry? I cant see the Cubs canning Hendry if there is still a shot at getting him. And because we probably won't get that answer until well into the offseason, its doubtful we fire him no matter how bad this season goes.

    Blah....looking like a sweep

    His eyes looked to be all over the place when he was walking off. I have a feeling he was concussed even though he got up right away.

    lol Koyie Hill...how much worse can you be

    First Bartman sighting: 6:07PM

    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.
  13. UMFan83
    At least we're helping the Red Sox get a couple of their slumping hitters on track.
  14. UMFan83
    The Red Sox have scored more runs in 5 innings than they did in the entire 1918 World Series.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. UMFan83
    Where art thou Chris Archer or Tom Gorzelanny?
  20. UMFan83
    On an IF hit, a walk and a seeing eye single that hit the SS's glove on the way into LF
  21. UMFan83
    BTW, spectacular throw by Koyie Hill. Just an amazing defensive catcher
  22. UMFan83
    COBS DEFENSE SUCKS LOLZ
  23. UMFan83
    He's throwing every pitch in the dirt
  24. 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.
