    Good point.

    Felix Pie hit a HR for Baltimore today...his first of the year.

    Noah would give him a battle and at least make him work--he's been great lately. If Miller has to play him for any extended amount of time it'll be murder, though. And while we're on the topic of Noah, I have to say that he has been exhibiting a lot more offensive potential than I ever thought he had. He can't shoot at all (although with that FT form you'd expect him to be Ben Wallace/Shaq awful when he's nearly hits at a 70% clip) but he has fantastic hands, can handle the ball well, makes great passes, and is learning to set effective picks. I'm excited about him. This is about the ceiling of expectations I had for Noah when he was drafted. He is one of those players whose contributions don't always show up on the scoresheet. He will be a key role player throughout his career. On a great team he's probably coming off the bench unless he gets more size, but he works fine as starting center for a team like Chicago.

    Probably not, but the chances of pulling off an upset keep looking better every day. Despite the road win tonight, I think the Bulls will lose their series in 6. They will lose the first 2, win the 2 home games, lose game 5 on the road, and then lose game 6 at home.

    Chicago sports is on quite a roll right now. The Bulls have won 5 in a row, and are rolling towards the playoffs as the 6th seed. The Hawks finished the year 6-0-1 in their last 7 games and are about to start a playoff series with home ice advantage. The Cubs started out the season 5-2 and are on a 3 game winning streak. Heck, even the White Sox have won 3 in a row and started the season 4-3. And then there's the Bears picking up Jay Cutler which is still the biggest Chicago sports story on the airwaves.
  6. UMFan83
    That. Was. Awesome. Bulls clinch at least the 7 seed and pull ahead of the Sixers for the 6th seed. Just need to win vs. Toronto at home and hope Philly loses to either Boston or Cleveland, and then we are playing the potentially Turk-less Magic who are sliding into the end of the season. Still don't think we'll beat them in a series as Dwight Howard will murder us, bring us back to life, and then murder us again.

    Fun game. I don't blame you Cyno for jinxing it. I blame it on the guy two rows behind me that was trying to prove that saying 'no hitter' doesn't jinx anything, so right before the hit he was saying "NO HITTTTTTER" really loud. It works everytime, that jerk.

    whoever called that ramirez had a back injury last night nailed it. Really crappy lineup for opening day thats for sure

    I'm pissed off about Gregg's performance, and I will easily admit he's not as talented as some of our other bullpen arms...but to call him the second worst reliever on the team after 5 appearances is a little extreme.
  10. UMFan83
    Baseball is finally back at Wrigley!!! .....hopefully. The Trib is speculating that baseball is unlikely tomorrow and a decision will be made early tomorrow morning. If this game gets postponed it will be played on Tuesday. But lets cross our fingers and hope we get baseball in tomorrow! Oh and....Ellis Burks homers to right field
  11. UMFan83
    Hawks in 6. I think we take the first two, split the road games drop game 5 in chicago and win it on the road in game 6.
  12. UMFan83
    Yup, we lose the tie breaker to Philly. Tomorrow's game against Detroit is the biggest regular season game for the Bulls since the season ending game in NJ two years ago that dropped us from the 2 seed to the 5 seed.
  13. UMFan83
    Well even if its a minor injury, we know he probably won't play tomorrow/Tuesday (whenever the home opener is played) because of the wet conditions out there. We'll see just how long he is out though. I am guessing Lou will be as cautious as possible with him as he is confident we can keep it going mostly without him.
  14. UMFan83
    Hah, Fielder struck out as the tying/winning run the lsat 2 nights to end the game.
  15. UMFan83
    It can NEVER be easy can it? You moran.
  16. UMFan83
    Time for redemption
  17. UMFan83
    If Gregg blew a 4 run lead with 2 outs in the 9th and no one on base, I wouldn't expect him to show his face at Wrigley tomorrow.
  18. UMFan83
    Is it like a rule that Gregg has to give up a run every time he pitches? I was just about to say he looked good this inning too .
  19. UMFan83
    Seriously...great inning by Marshall. Not because he got results, but because he attacked the hitters and threw strikes early in the count. Didn't hurt that he was locating his breaking pitches, but he threw a strike to each batter on the first pitch in that inning. It seemed like the Brewers strategy after last night was to be patient and hope the Cubs pen self destructed with wild control, and Marshall didn't let that happen.
  20. UMFan83
    Quit playing around outside the strike zone and let him try to beat you.
  21. UMFan83
    I'd kill myself...because Vizcaino absolutely can not face Fielder. It would be the stupidest thing Lou has done in his 2+ seasons as manager.
  22. UMFan83
    Yuck, Braun kills lefties, but I don't mind him facing Counsell and Fielder.
  23. UMFan83
    Given precedent, probably not. Knowing Wisconsin girls, you probably didn't see her entire body.
  24. UMFan83
    Sounds like it...but baseball is a game where you should expect the unexpected so we'll see.
  25. UMFan83
    Come on guys, I'm not sure 6 runs is going to win this game.
