    There is no way outside big injuries that the cubs will finish only 8 games better than they did last year. Agree to disagree, the pitching is terrible, offense mildly improved. Lee will help of course.
  2. UMFan83
    Almost forgot: Cubs as a whole: BA: .266/.270/.273 OBP: .316/.325/.335 (high end is if the team really clicks and the protection in the lineup causes a lot of pitchers to pitch around the sluggers) SLG: .427/.440/.446 HR: 180/190/200 R: 730/750/780 Wins: 74/79/83 I don't feel like doing pitching right now.

    Bears fans, you are probably fretting about who to root for in tonight's game. I have a solution: Vote for a tie, and watch both teams get knocked out of the playoffs at once!

    My expectations really quickly: (Low/Expected/High) Barrett: (800/820/845) Lee: (900/940/1020) DeRosa: (680/740/760) Izturis: (620/680/715) Ramirez: (860/905/1000) Soriano: (820/865/910) Jones: (750/810/840) Murton: (810/830/850) Zambrano: (2.95/3.20/3.65) Hill: (3.40/3.90/4.30) Lilly: (3.90/4.30/4.60) Marquis: (4.50/5.00/5.50) Miller: (4.20/4.45/4.85) Prior (if he were to start 25 games): (3.60/4.00/4.40)

    He's THE ultimate MLB gamer? Hmm...we'd be stupid not to sign him :)

    I don't even count the year that they won 90 games, 1998 as legit either seeing as it took them 163 games to do it. Just think 17 seasons without a 90 win season (in 162 games). Pretty amazing. Last year we were 30 games under .500. The last time a team like the Red Sox was 30 games under .500 in any point in the season? 1963 I believe. This has gotta stop, and I don't think Ted Lilly and Jason Marquis are the answer to that.

    Very nice :lol:

    I know we've said this many times, but the next GM of the Cubs is going to be doomed in 2009ish

    Yay! Put your most promising young hitter into a platoon!
  11. UMFan83
    ?? I'm lost
  12. UMFan83
    Take it easy on us! We might be 10-1, but its as strong as the Wisconsin footballs record. We lost to the only above average team we played (NC State)
  13. UMFan83
    Would you have said the same thing about Indy last year? The playoffs are a crapshoot mostly
  14. UMFan83
    How is that even possible?? The Blackhawks were in the playoffs for a bunch of years in a row before that finally ended 7 or 8 years ago. They were definitely a stron gteam in the early 90's. The Bulls obviously were. Were the Bears never above .500 at any moment while the other two were during those years? Weren't they a playoff team in 91? Were they ever any good from 90-93?? I have no proof, but that just seems like it can't be right (aside from the fact that the Hawks aren't really above .500 right now). It was 1995
  15. UMFan83
    I knew my jinx would work! ;)
  16. UMFan83
    Bulls can't beat winning teams. They haven't all year and they don't appear to be winning it tonight

    Drogba's goal was ridiculous, as well as heartbreaking for my Everton squad.
  18. UMFan83
    I fully expect Hendry to start a bidding war to bring him back where he belongs. Do we have anyone who can be a backup at all nine positions? I think not. I'm waiting for the 3/$16m offer any day now.

    if you listened to what ESPN says The Eagles are going to the super bowl because Jeff Garcia is OMG WTF awesome. ESPN has taken the same position they did with Tony Romo, on its knees right in front of him Eventhough New Orleans lost and the bears won, New Orleans only hit a bump in the road while the bears are terrible right now The bears only have a "decent" defense because they have had poor outings the past 2 games. Hey sean salisbury, dont tell the everyone that we had a pro bowl CB and 1 of our safteys out. The colts that they left for dead last week will destroy any team out there. I didn't hear much of that, but ok. He may have exaggerated some, but I've heard those kind of sentiments from ESPN. Mike and Mike in the morning said that the eagles are the favorite everything else was from last nights NFL tonight, they didnt use terrible with the bears, they used, you can gash them and on and on i exaggerated on the colts a bit but its coming, just watch You can gash their defense all the sudden? hahaha makes me laugh. We'll see what they are saying when we get Vasher and Todd Johnson back

    sports bars take care of this problem. I have yet to find a good bar with Sunday Ticket in NH. That and the fact that I'd feel guilty ditching my family on XMas eve to go drinking and watch football ;) Bring them with. no doubt, i can't imagine a better way to celebrate xmas with the family! The bouncer or the bar could probably think of a better way to celebrate when he refuses to let in my 8 year old brother and 15 year old sister :) well now you're just looking for excuses...seems to me that you don't even want to watch the game, haha. Well geez, even the extreme awesomeness of the Bears is not worth watching the Lions play Nah, what am I talking about, it totally is.

    Umm... what happened to the 13-3 record from 2001? Did that just disappear into the ether? I saw that too. I guess that year really was a fluke since they stopped using it in record keeping

    Drats for going home this weekend. I don't think there's much chance that New Hampshire picks up the Bears/Lions tilt.

    I seriously just got a cold shiver when I read that. Oh my god he is so awful. He's worse then awful. I don't really have words to describe it. I like Collinsworth though (assuming you were talking about Gumbel)
