    Nice...today's lineup probably for the first time this spring resembles close to what opening days lineup will be, except Fukudome in for Reed (most likely with Oswalt going) and Fontenot for Miles.

    That should be fun. I'm expecting you guys to win though because I don't think the Bears have ever lost on SNF and I don't think the Packers have ever won on SNF. Not to mention besides that ridiculous fluke of a game last year in Green Bay, you guys have had our number at Lambeau ever since Lovie became head coach. We do win a lot on Sunday Night Football, but off the top of my head, I remember losing to the Cowboys in 2007 on SNF as the torch for the NFC was supposedly passed to Dallas. We also lost to your Packers in week 17 of the 2006 season and the Vikings just this past season. In recent years, I can remember these SNF wins: 05 vs. Atlanta 06 vs. Seattle 06 @ Giants 07 @ Green Bay 08 vs. Philadelphia 08 @ Colts So 6-3, which I guess is good, but hardly undefeated.

    Technically, the Bulls won. But they beat a Wizards team without Gilbert Arenas, Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood, Darius Songaila, Etan Thomas, and DeShawn Stevenson by 2 points. It's too late in the season to care about how we win games IMO. Just get the win and move onto the next game. Besides, the Bulls are an absolutely awful road team so any road victory is a godsend.

    Guess they are banking on the economy recovering during the next 3 years. I'm happy for the Marlins (even though I still hate them), but I'm surprised it passed in this economy after failing so many other times. Miami Marlins in 3 years.
  5. UMFan83
    Yeah but we got Juan Pierre.
  6. UMFan83
    Fukudome pops it up on the first pitch with runners on the corners and 0 outs.
  7. UMFan83
    Is it just me or has this been one of the crappier NCAA tournaments in recent memory in terms of drama? Obviously those with horses still in the race are thinking differently, but the rest of the tourney has been blah.
  8. UMFan83
    I would assume that even if he is erratic it won't be a long term Rich Hill type of ineffectiveness. I also assume if he's pitching like this in a week, Gregg will be the closer.
  9. UMFan83
    Well I think everyone that posted in this thread was already well aware of that. But the Cubs have been stating he will be good enough to pitch in the regular season.
  10. UMFan83
    Welcome back Sharpie! Hopefully his return gives the Hawks the boost they need.
  11. UMFan83
    It's probably partially that, but it's also them realizing that they should start playing basketball at some point in the second half.
  12. UMFan83
    They have to find some way to arrange the tournament so that Korea and Japan don't have to play 8 times in a tournament. It seems like every other day they are playing each other, and they will again if Japan beats the US tomorrow, which is fairly likely.
  13. UMFan83
    Not a great sports day for me with UM and the Bulls losing and the Hawks just in general bad. Meh, whatever.
  14. UMFan83
    The concern is that because of his slow start to cactus league action, his arm won't be ready to go the first run around the rotation. That's why missing yesterday's start is a big deal. I have read nothing that suggests that it was anything more than an illness, but this being the Cubs, its appropriate to speculate within reason (see: my post in yesterday's game thread)
  15. UMFan83
    It's not fair. I am going to see Griffin in my nightmares for the next week.
  16. UMFan83
    Yea UM can't hit shots anymore. Which is exactly what I thought would happen. I expect it to now even out in UMs factor now, unless OU can keep feeding the ball in the post to Griffin, who is just about unstoppable. For players like Griffin, they should be forced to enter the NBA draft immediately after it is determined that it's not fair for that player to play amongst such an inferior level of competition.
  17. UMFan83
    Nothing alling for UM now, not even point blank shots.
  18. UMFan83
    He's a beast. We have nothing to stop him. Nope...he's scored a couple times on UM triple teams. What a beast. He might end our season, but you have to respect his play.
  19. UMFan83
    Now UM is shooting 38% and OU 45%
  20. UMFan83
    Griffin taking over at the start of the second half, OU builds a 7 point lead early.
  21. UMFan83
    Looking forward to the Semi finals tonight. Venezuela vs. Korea correct?
  22. UMFan83
    Yep. I'll definitely take it. The thing is, Wright pretty much played the role of Harris in the first half, at least as far as scoring is concerned, so it hasn't been a huge loss.
  23. UMFan83
    Dammit, now when I'm bragging to my friends, I can't say that Michigan was leading their second round game at halftime. That said, I'm impressed. OU hasn't really played well, but Michigan hasn't played great either. I am convinced that it's possible Michigan can win.
  24. UMFan83
    Wow Michigan is going to be at least within 1 point of the Sooners at the half, and Manny Harris has only played 4 minutes. Now Manny will be fresh in the second half, and 2 fouls in the second half isn't really foul trouble anymore.
  25. UMFan83
    Yeah, I assumed the game was all but over when they said Harris had 2 fouls on the update, but still hanging in there. It's because nearly everything UM is throwing up there is going in. UM is shooting 55% and is 5-8 from 3. OU is shooting 37%. Not to sound pessimistic, but I'm sure that trend will even itself out a bit. That said, so far so good without Harris for the last 12 minutes. Come on man. Have faith! I have faith! I am just trying to look at it realistically so I am not blindsided when OU makes a run.
