I think El Cab's post was pointless (it might have been a ball due to camera angles, but it looked pretty good to me), but all the bickering about his pretty much non-comment is just random. -
NHL W. Conference Finals: Red Wings defeat Blackhawks 4-1
UMFan83 replied to Cynosure's topic in Other Sports
I am already excited/nervous for the game. Thank God we have a team in Chicago that doesn't fall flat on its faces immediately when it gets to the playoffs. -
I think you need 10 years of MLB service time to get pension.

Is he still dating Dusty Baker's daughter? If so he has a very easy way to get himself into more money. According to baseball reference, He made about 14 mil between '02-'08, so unless hes an idiot, he should be set in that department. Well after taxes its probably like 9,000,000 made. If he lives to 85 years old and hasn't spent a dime of that 9M to this point, he would have $160,000 to spend a year. A fairly modest lifestyle for someone who is currently a millionare. Do you think he has the money stuffed into a mattress? He's making interest on the cash, you can bet. I thought of that...but I also figured that he's spent a significant portion of his money already. The point was, $14 million isn't a crapload to last for a lifetime. Considering he likely hedged all his bets on baseball, these will probably be the last years of his life that he has a shot to make 500k-1M a year so might as well keep working at it and hope someone else gives him a shot.

Hard to believe huh? 3-2 roadtrip Yeah from Cubs fans reactions you would think this team is 10-21 and in last place. Instead were 17-14, either 1.5 or 2.5 games out of first and only 1 game off our pace after 31 games last season. We've won 7 of our last 10 too...but I think the reason everyone feels deflated like we've just come off a long losing streak is losing Ramirez. Really took the wind out of everyone's sails.
-
Sweet we salvaged a game. Depending on how the Reds do we could end up 1.5 games out of first after today (but alone in 4th place)
-
Coming into the day, the Cubs pen led baseball in BBs with 61. The team with the least was Colorado with 27. Can you imagine what our record could be if we only walked 27 batters from the pen this year? Edit: I should also mention the Cubs are 24th in baseball in IP by the pen

Yay for Braun coming up now.

How many pro sports teams can you get in 10 minutes?
UMFan83 replied to Hairyducked Idiot's topic in Other Sports
I got 120/122...I completely forgot about the state of Tennessee besides the Titans. The 2 teams I missed were the Memphis Grizzlies and the Nashville Predators. -
That sucks that we got Lincecum in a 2 game series vs. SF and Peavy in a 3 game series vs. SD.
-
I haven't watched much Cubs baseball as of late. I hope you are correct though. First 24 PA: .095/.174/.095/.269 Last 52 PA: .250/.308/.333/.641 So I guess so.

And the verdict is.....it was just a slump to start May for Fuku

Pick me a winner Sori
-
He's gonna give his 2006 season a run for its money if he stays healthy. *knocks on wood*
-
Number 10 for Sori!
-
Ryan Braun had a .285 Extra Base Batting Average (6 for 21) against lefties before that AB
-
Marshall let him hit a double. Soriano let him hit a triple.

When the Brewers are hitting well, it feels like they are impossible to beat. Kendall is the only easy out in the lineup and the rest of them can kill you any pitch.
-
Great to see Weeks finally realizing his potential.
-
Gah, I didn't see Suppan covering there and thought the ball got into the dugout
-
Nice AB Miles. I think I'd rather have Corey Patterson on this team than Miles.
-
We're gonna have to pound the ball around and score tons of runs today, because I don't like Marshall pitching against the lefty mashing Brewers lineup.

When your whole life has been about playing baseball, its not easy to call it quits. He'll play until he hits rock bottom and begins to discover that he can do more in his life than play baseball.

Indians Sign Vizcaino
UMFan83 replied to Derwood's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Technically, he never left a payroll and is still on the Cubs payroll.
