  1. I don't know about the word 'panic' this team is just not very good I just think it's way too early to tell either way. It's ok for you to think they are not very good due to preseason expectations and the first 12 games, I'm just saying don't be shocked if they end up being a lot better because despite a 5-7 record, there is a lot to like about this team so far (also a lot to hate). I won't pass any judgments on this team until we are at least 1/3 of the way through the season. So far we're 7.4% of the way through the season.
  2. This is the first game I've gotten to watch since the home opener. Boy baseball can be a horribly boring sport to watch on some days.
  3. I still don't think it's any time to panic, but that sucked. As much as the Astros suck, whoever said they are at an advantage because of the conditions at Wrigley the last 2 days is right. This team is just not built to hit with the wind blowing in hard.
  4. Well we won 1 game we should have lost (Wednesday) and lost 1 game we should have won (today). Hate to say it but we played like a .500 team this homestand.
  5. I am pretty sure this AB is going to end with Lee doing something that would have scored Theriot if the ump wasn't a moron.
  6. Good thing we still have 15 head to head games left against them. Or should that be bad thing.
  7. Since leaving work on Friday, my weekend which I was really excited for mostly because of playoff games but also just because of the volume of games to watch, as consisted of watching the Hawks lose, Cubs lose, Bulls lose, Cubs lose again, with only a Blackhawks game in the way of a perfect weekend.
  8. Score 12 runs in a 3 game series you are going to lose 2 out of 3 a lot of the time. Sucks that if we can't come back we'll start out the season losing 3 of our first 4 series, with series against the Astros and Reds included in them.
  9. First blown save as closer for Marmol.
  10. If the Cubs don't score in the 8th and they end up winning they will have won the series despite only scoring in 4 innings the entire series.
  11. Uh oh I was going to make a post that said Dempster shouldn't have been taken out too..
  12. Nice job hitting with 2 strikes Byrd!
  13. I was wondering why KRod only pitched 1 inning last night.
  14. There have been some games, more than you'd think where a position player pitched in a close game, almost always games that go really deep into extra innings. As for ones that resulted in a decision by a position player, I have no idea.
  15. Does Hinrich really deserve foul calls? All he does is whine and complain. If I were a ref, I wouldn't give him any call just because of that. when he drives the lane and gets thrown to the floor without a call, he has every right to whine and complain The problem is he complains about every little thing. I guarantee you that he'd get the benefit of the doubt if he knew how to quiet his mouth. By that logic LeBron, Wade and every other superstar should never get calls either. Rasheed Wallace would go years in between shooting FTs.
  16. 4-2 homestand anyone? I'll take it. Let's avoid letting the Astros win their first series of the season. Go Cubs!
  17. Those 2 obviously still don't like each other do they?
  18. I actually just came on here to post that if Hawks fans wanted to see a crowd to emulate tomorrow, look at the Capitals crowd tonight. I'll be there tomorrow, so I'll try to liven my section up dex.
  19. I read that the Bulls take more 15-20 foot jumpers(the worst shot on the floor) than any team in the NBA. Not sure if that's due to personnel(no shooters for Rose to kick to) or coaching, but it's the big reason why they're not a very good offensive team. I also read that and I also read Rose took more of those shots than any player in the league but he made just under 50% of those shots.
  20. I'm watching at the bar...has the officiating been as dubious as it's looked so far? I feel like every bulls player has 3 fouls.
  21. I'm shocked at how badly Varejao has abused Noah in this game.
