    The Hawks just can't get anywhere near open ice while in the Nashville zone.
  2. UMFan83
    I know they are on the PP but holy [expletive] clear the puck when you get control.
  3. UMFan83
    The Preds just look like they are skating faster getting to all those loose pucks. Extremely frustrating.
  4. UMFan83
    Grabow just gave up another 2 runs on a HR by a scrub (Tatis)
  5. UMFan83
    YAY another penalty! You know what they say about the playoffs, penalties all the time! Disasterous start for the Hawks.
  6. UMFan83
    Nice job Sopel
  7. UMFan83
    Mother [expletive]. They have been getting tons of good chances so I guess it was only a matter of time.
  8. UMFan83
    Niemi is borderline standing on his head too so we've got that going for us.
  9. UMFan83
    So 3 runs scored in our last 27 innings. Yay?
  10. UMFan83
    Come on Hawks, stop taking penalties.
  11. UMFan83
    Holy crap, the Predators are begging for Chicago to score.
  12. UMFan83
    [expletive] Madden....so close
  13. UMFan83
    As I said I would probably do the same thing in his position and my main goal was to get riled up. And yes the premise was dumb. Nashville is doing a pretty good job of keeping the Hawks on the boards.

    Out of curiosity, what do these guys do in spring training?
  15. UMFan83
    Is that even a question? Normally I'd say if you watch Lost and DVR the Blackhawks game, ultimately the result will be spoiled, but I always here people talking about Lost and spoilers so maybe that's not the case.
  16. UMFan83
    Man when do we finally get to start playing some easy teams? Oh wait...
  17. UMFan83
    I can't believe just 2 days ago I was optimistic. I mean I still hold out hope of improvement but this team looks in disrepair at the moment.. Gotta keep telling myself the offense will get better.
  18. UMFan83
    Don't listen to them making fun of you Z, Pelfrey is quite the hitter I'm sure.

    Here is that schedule, which looks tough at the beginning (my way too early prediction in parenthesis). 2 Monday Night football games (Week 3 vs. GB, Week 15 @ MIN..ugh), 1 Sunday Night game for now (Week 4 @ Giants), 1 Thursday night game (again?, Week 11 @ MIA), and for now EIGHT NOON GAMES (!!!) One schedule oddity is that after week 6, we alternate home and road games for the rest of the season, not playing consecutive home or road games more than once all season. That could actually be good. SEPTEMBER Sun. 12 LIONS 12:00 PM WBBM FOX (WIN 1-0) Sun. 19 @ Cowboys 12:00 PM WBBM FOX (LOSS 1-1) Mon. 27 PACKERS 7:03 PM WBBM ESPN (WIN 2-1) OCTOBER Sun. 3 @ Giants 7:20 PM WBBM NBC (LOSS 2-2) Sun. 10 @ Panthers 12:00 PM WBBM FOX (LOSS 2-3) Sun. 17 SEAHAWKS 12:00 PM WBBM FOX (WIN 3-3) Sun. 24 REDSKINS 12:00 PM WBBM FOX (WIN 4-3) NOVEMBER Sun. 7 @ Bills 12:00 PM WBBM FOX (WIN 5-3) Sun. 14 VIKINGS 12:00 PM WBBM FOX (LOSS 5-4) Thu. 18 @ Dolphins 7:20 PM WBBM NFLN (LOSS 5-5) Sun. 28 EAGLES 12:00 AM WBBM FOX (LOSS 5-6) DECEMBER Sun. 5 @ Lions 12:00 PM WBBM FOX (WIN 6-6) Sun. 12 PATRIOTS 12:00 PM WBBM CBS (WIN 7-6) Mon. 20 @ Vikings 7:30 PM WBBM ESPN (LOSS 7-7) Sun. 26 JETS 12:00 PM WBBM FOX (LOSS 7-8) JANUARY Sun. 2 @ Packers 12:00 PM WBBM FOX (LOSS 7-9) Eh theres a couple I could change to wins, just a lot of gut feelings that will change over the coming months.

    Well I wouldn't be surprised about that since 7/8's of the schedule was known years ago
  21. UMFan83
    Yeah, kind of shows how silly it would be to allow injured players to serve their suspensions while they are hurt. Honest queston here, where does Mark Prior fall in this. Can he juice now to get healthy and get a new contract? If so, what the hell is he waiting for? Well I think getting caught using a masking agent or whatever Manny got caught using gives you a different public perception than getting caught with a crapload of steroids in your system. Also, I don't know maybe he prefers living a long time to forcing a return to baseball.
  22. UMFan83
    And there's nothing wrong with that. The Bulls without Jordan had a great year the first year after he left, but that was a core that just won 3 titles. The next year when they lost Grant and Armstrong, they were a .500 team and I believe a 6-7 seed when MJ came back. I think the Cavs would win 45-50 games without James, but they wouldn't get anywhere in the playoffs.
  23. UMFan83
    I don't think you can serve while on the DL, at least with short team suspensions. I remember there was a big argument about Kerry Wood back in 04 and how he was injured and still had to serve 5 games after he was healthy enough to pitch. I think Barrett had the same issue back in 06 after decking AJ Eyechart. I don't think theres a way to prove or enforce that but I think if it's sketchy timing, the league is going to be on you for it. The easy workaround for that would be to declare he is now healthy enough to pitch and activate him. I don't know if it could be done, but the way around that is to suspend him after he pitches at least one full inning in his next game. It would effectively take him out until August. I imagine the union and/or the Reds would balk at that. That's what I was trying to say. Technically I think it could happen but the MLB would not take kindly to it.

    Updated schedule based on Redskins schedule leaking. For those who say this is pointless since it will be released in an hour, I say screw off. Week 1 (9/12) - vs. Lions Week 4 (10/3) - @ Giants Week 7 (10/24) - vs. Redskins Week 9 (11/7) - @ Bills (Toronto, ON) Week 13 (12/5) - @ Lions Week 17 (1/1-1/3) - vs./@ Packers

    Also, interesting news....Bears are going to wear 1940's style throwbacks for select (undetermined) home games this season... http://chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=6696 http://chicagobears.com/userfiles/image/default/Throwbackuniform_inside.jpg
