Jay Cutler interception count: 1 Line looked pretty good on that drive though.

He's had a typical Fukudome year. At times he looks awesome, and other times he's God awful. The difference is that he lost his starting job during the season.

We're winning somehow.

I don't know. We've got the baseball-reference link, but not any actual footage of the game. It may not have existed. Baseball reference conspiring to create box scores of games that never actually took place?!?! This could be bigger than steroids. I am quite sure that no one actually witnessed an Expos game in their last three years in Montreal. I defy anyone (besides the now VERY suspect BR) to prove otherwise. I have a ticket stub from that Cubs/Braves game somewhere in my drawer. Sorry guys.

Yeah I can't remember if Peavy is the last "big" (arbitrary term) named player we've pursued. Since then the White Sox have pursued several big names and are linked to others (Adrian Gonzalez). Again I'm not saying the Cubs are wrong or right for not being heavily involved in big names, especially considering the state of the club right now. I'm just saying it would be exciting if we were in a position to add talent and it was a big name. I'm desperately seeking excitement from the Cubs.

Not that it's always worked out but they always seem to be in the hunt for a big name player. I can't remember the last time the Cubs were. Probably Peavy and we didn't get him. Again, not saying its a good or a bad thing, although I presume it would give me a little excitement.

lol guess Capps didn't work out for them.

But of course during that same period he happens to have 52 RBIs against the hapless Pirates. How strage.

He's hit a few, missed a few. Hasn't shot more than 1-2 a game. My guess is he's made about 50% of what he's taken, which is good but obviously a tiny sample size.

LOL you got me because of ignorance but some people were getting legit mad because their impassioned objections to you not believing in tipping were being responded on with loosely related jibberish. Good stuff though.

Interesting to see that 54 games ago, Aramis was at at .485 OPS. 54 games is 1/3rd of the season and is actually where he started picking it up. So project his stats in the last 1/3 of the season over an entire season and we get: .320/.367/.615/.982, 48 HR 135 RBI 27 2B 108 R

I was gonna say that it should be placed 2 feet from MJs and it should be of him standing there watching MJ soar for a dunk over him.

i hope it's of him standing over a fallen patrick ewing. or maybe it should be of him pointing to spike lee's chair. Maybe him watching Toni Kukoc make a shot. it could be of him not tipping a bartender? Or maybe him in the process of taking aspirin. For his migranes...get it?

Yeah I was gonna say. Here are a couple of other players that could qualify by the end of the year. Furcal .316, 307 AB (currently on DL not likely) Tulowitzki .320 337 AB Posey .332 292 AB (don't know if he can get there) Infante .347 326 AB Castro .315 359 AB

I saw on one of those projection sites that if the Cubs finished the year 34-0 they would have a 13.7% chance of making the playoffs. Yay.

I [expletive] love Starlin Castro. I just knew he was gonna get the job done and he did.

Rose got player of the game honors and took home some silver cup thingie from Tiffany for his performance

The 2006-2007 Lions did end up putting more points each season than any lions team in the decade, but I feel like that team also set the opponents up for many points as well. In 2007 Kitna threw 20 INTs and fumbled the ball 17 times (not sure how many of those were lost). Likely because the lack of O-line causing Kitna to rush things and either throw into traffic or not protect the ball well enough. That said, Kitna had always had some level of fumble and INT issues. I just worry that we might have an unholy trinity of a QB that is prone to throwing INTs, an offensive system that can lead to many sacks/INTs and an offensive line that even in a normal offense would allow the D to get to/hurry the QB too often.

I guessed they released the box art on the 5 disc Blackhawks Stanely Cup Special edition box set: Front: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51MpHoM%2B%2BgL._SL500_AA300_.jpg Back: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61u-TxIcQbL._AA300_.jpg In case you can't read the back, this is what each disc will contain: Disc 1: Western Conference Quarterfinal, Game 5. April 24, 2010. Kane's shorthander ties it with 13.6 seconds left, and Hossa's goal 4:07 into overtime wins it. Disc 2: Stanley Cup Final, Game 1. May 29, 2010. Kopecky's third-period tally is decisive in a wild, 6-5 Hawks win. Disc 3: Stanley Cup Final, Game 2. May 31, 2010. Antti Niemi's 32 saves and goals :28 apart by Hossa and Ben Eager give Chicago a 2-0 series lead. Disc 4: Stanley Cup Final, Game 5. June 6, 2010. Hawks reclaim series lead with first-period explosion and clutch goals galore. Disc 5: Stanley Cup Final, Game 6. June 8, 2010 (wasn't this June 9?). Kane scores in OT and the Chicago Blackhawks are Stanley Cup champions. Slightly disapointing IMO. I would have loved to have seen at least partial clips from the other 2 series against Vancouver and San Jose, 2 series that I enjoyed immensely, more than the Nashville series at least. As enjoyable and as necessary as the SCF's were, those 2 series where we came in either underdogs or very slight favorites were as much rewarding as the SCF wins (except game 6). Doesn't say anything about special features or bonus videos but maybe that will change.

Girardi could stay in NY and win probably a couple more WS titles and eventually be revered like Torre was. Or he could come to the Cubs, probably not win a WS title, lose all his hair, get booed constantly when the team is worse than .500 and likely destroy his reputation as a manager. I don't know why he'd leave NY.

For a second there i thought he was trying to help the cubs quest towards the record.

Z would have ruined his anger management training if Marmol finished blowing that.

I don't know if I could ever handle Marmol being the closer on a competitive Cubs team.

Got them right where he wants them. Unless he doesn't.
