I can't laugh at you, you've won a championship 71 years more recently than our last one.

I ended up snapping some photos last night, but it was at night and with my crappy iPhone camera so they aren't of the highest quality. Oh well.... http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/d7868d38be.jpg http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/1916226ca8.jpg

Whoops lol. Speaking of 2nd, tonights win ensured that the lowest seed the Hawks can get is 2.
-
Looks like right now the Hawks round 1 opponent will either be: -Nashville (currently 5th with 98 points and 80 GP) -Detroit (currently 6th with 96 points and 79 GP) -Los Angeles (currently 7th with 95 points and 78 GP....losing 2-0 early tonight) -Colorado (currently 8th with 91 points and 78 GP...winning 2-1 after 1st tonight) -Calgary (currently out of playoffs with 89 points 79 GP...losing 2-0 to SJ in 2nd tonight) Right now the Hawks if they win will be either tied or down 2 points to SJ depending on how the SJ game ends (winning 2-0 right now) with the Hawks having a game in hand. Most likely though, with the Hawks tough schedule to finish, the Hawks will probably finish 7th, making the likely opponents Nashville, Detroit, and LA. Nashville we had success with in terms of W-L this year, especially winning that home and home back in December, yet they have given us trouble in those games. We all know none of us want Detroit. How does everyone feel about LA as a first round opponent?
-
Yowza. If they can keep this 4 goal lead, it would be a minor statement that the Hawks are back, considering how much trouble Dallas gave us this year even when things were going great.
-
Man I don't know if I want to feed into your geeking out. I am probably going to be driving that way before dark, so I'll see what I can do but no promises. If not, I'm sure BCB will have photos up within the next few hours, Al always seems to love positing that stuff.

I like it, and whoever says "it sucks because it ruins Wrigley's mystique" or some other BS is stupid because Wrigley from the outside, save the marquee is really ugly.

Bill Simmons Writes a Sabermetrics Column

Shut up, they are the best fans in baseball and you know it. -
I kind of assumed the Cubs were going to disband after yesterday's performance. Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning and they were still there.
-
First 2 games of the season on WCIU and CSN+. No wonder the Cubs are playing like a minor league team. They are getting minor league exposure.
-
That lineup is horrible. What's even more horrible is that 4 of those players were offseason acquisitions.

Whats changed with Zambrano? Young Good Z vs Prime Average Z
UMFan83 replied to Gmoney08's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It's just another way to group pitchers in terms of level of talent. I don't see the issue. -

UMFan83 replied to Gmoney08's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think Z is the epitome of what an ideal number 2 for a good team would be. Very good stuff. Shows flashes of dominance, but isn't consistent enough to be relied on as an ace. -
How many years did they lose by 11 :)
-
you should move to Vegas and bet on random events occuring in cubs games.
-
Santo: all you can really do is go back to the hotel and cry. Pat: that's a very mature approach Ron.

Mark Prior was pretty big. and he got hit on the elbow with a line drive, his pitching elbow, just when he looked like he was putting it together. his [expletive] pitching elbow Eh at least he helped lead us to an NLCS before fading into oblivion
-
Jurrjens then Hanson, we messed up by losing today. At least we have Cinci this weekend. We should be able to get 1-2 there.
-
Remember when we came into Turner Field in I want to say August of 2008 and just destroyed them in a 3 game series to the point where the Braves announcers were making comments left and right about how good we were and how it looked like a long drought was going to end that October. *sigh*
-
Do you think Rickets is sitting there saying "Holy [expletive] what did I just do?" and then remembering first gate of the year is only 7 days away.

Obviously it's just one game and it wouldn't be a big deal if it was game 64 or something, but I wondered why all spring I wasn't excited at all for baseball season, and part of me thought it was because I didn't think the Cubs were going to be good at all this year. But I shook that off thinking that its just me being pessimistic. Watching this game isn't calming my fears. Here were the things I was worried about: 1. Starting pitching 2. Soto not regaining 2008 form 3. Soriano not bouncing back 4. Fontenot continuing to suck 5. The Bullpen being bad So far so bad. Hopefully games 2-162 will be better. It's not fun to get whalloped on Opening Day, now I feel bad for what we did every year in the early to mid Oughts on Opening Day. Mets, Reds and Diamondbacks, I am sorry.
-
That was predictable. Please send Samadrzija back to Iowa for an entire season. I'm sick of him getting shot after shot for no reason.
-
Name them. I bet almost all of them missed bats at a decent rate. Greg Maddux in the later part of his career (2002-2008) put up a 3.92 ERA and struck out only 14.1% of the batters he faced http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/maddugr01.shtml?redir#2002-2008-sum:pitching_simple I'm at work so I'm not putting a ton of thought into this, so I'm likely to be contradicted, but that's just the first name I thought of when you asked me to name one.
-
Kyle I hear what your saying man, and on the surface it seems like it would make sense, but I can't see how your argument that you have to miss bats to be a good pitcher works when there have been far too many pitchers, HOF ones at that, who made a living pitching to contact.
