  1. holy crap what pathetic thing to admit. It's one thing to think that but to say it outload to the media makes you look P
  2. F you were determined to trade Z this would probably be a good fit as theoretically the Yankees would probably consider his contract to be less of an issue than any other team giving the Cubs some leverage to get a good deal.
  3. Jay Cutler's QB rating for the year is now 71.1, which is 23th in the league between Chad Henne (74.9) and Brady Quinn (70.6). Yes his QB rating is for the year is almost the same as Brady [expletive] Quinn's
  4. Wow I didn't realize how tough the Hawks schedule is coming up... 2 different back to backs this week, the first one on Tues/Web vs. SJ (Pacific leader) and @ Detroit (Detroit) then on Saturday and Sunday they play a home and home against the team right behind them in the Central (Nashville). Then after a day off they head to Dallas for a game (more average team but on the road), and then finally after another game off they play at home against the team with the best record in the league, NJ on New Years Eve. I have complete confidence that the Hawks will more than hold their own against this schedule. Instead of fearing an upcoming tough schedule, I am looking forward to it. So unlike other Chicago sports.
  5. The Hawks are projected to finish with a 56-19-7 with 118 points. That's amazing and would be the most points in franchise history (previous high is 107). I know the points are given out much differently than before and in a way that gives teams more points, but that's still pretty awesome. It would also be the most wins in franchise history (previous high 49) but again, wins are much more common nowadays.
  6. That's 2 consecutive shutouts for Huet isn't it?
  7. This is a dumb question, but when a team wins in a shootout, they are given a "goal" in the final score, so if the Hawks win in a shootout, it's 3-2 Hawks or something. Does that goal count in the teams goals allowed stats? I'm assuming it doesn't, but I think it's a dumb way to present a final score IMO. I look at overtimes and shootouts like the game ends in a tie and both teams get a point, but they continue playing for that extra point. I don't know, it sounds weird that way but I hate the idea of OTL's. I'd rather them present the score as "Chicago 2 Detroit 2. Chicago wins in shootout 2-1" or something like that instead of "Chicago 3 Detroit 2 F/SO"
  8. Yep, with I think at least one game in hand on all of them. 1 game in hand over SJ (47 pts), 2 games in hand over Nashville (47 points), and 3 games in hand over LA (47) and Colorado (46)
  9. Since no other top WC teams are in action tonight, a win would give the Blackhawks sole possession of the number 1 seed in the West for the night. Edit: And only 2 points behind NJ and PIT for most points in hockey. The only team that has more points/game than the Hawks is the Devils, who will have had 2 more points than the Hawks with the same number of games played. We'll pass them in due time :)
  10. I thought they weren't playing their best for awhile, but since the Buffalo game I felt like the quality of play has picked way up and back to normal standards. Gotta love being a fan of a team where you don't just expect to beat every team in the league, you expect to beat every team in the league by multiple goals.
  11. The C with a cute little cubby bear on it would look awful on our home jerseys. It would give our opponents the message of "we haven't won a world series in 102 years but we have cute cuddly little bears on our uniforms"
  12. The media is hammering Lovie with job security questions. Lovie doesn't look comfortable breaking away from him "There is a lot of games left to play" mantra.
  13. 43 and 33 are his other lows this year. He had a 32 and a 45 in 2007 OK so 3 of his 4 lowest QB ratings have come this year. Yay? PS Does anyone know the best way to wash a hat without one of those plastic hat things without it shrinking? I am assuming if I run it in the dishwasher and let it air dry it should be ok
  14. JC's QB rating will end up 7.8 for the game, a new low for his career. Interestingly enough, I'll have to look this up to be sure but I think the 3 lowest QB ratings of his career have come this year.
  15. Unbelievable. My dog just literally vomited directly onto my Bears hat. Wow, was that a statement by my dog or what? OK buddy I get it no more watching Bears games.
  16. 26 INTs Oh wait that was Haine.
  17. That new Manning Mastercard commerical is hilarious. "Coach said you got cut. Oh....cut cut"
  18. I think the Bears players are trying to make Cutler feel better by turning the ball over as many times as he has.
  19. The fun never ends.
  20. I don't know, but I don't think Lovie wanted to waste 2 TOs challenging it.
  21. LOL, Bears offense punts it with a few seconds left in the half down 7. The next time they touch it (most likely) they will be down 21
  22. Horrible penalty even if it doesn't result in a 1st down (why doesn't it?)
  23. Fantastic tackle by Tillman there.
  24. Of course there's a butterfly effect, but imagine if we simply kicked FGs on those 4th down plays.
