    It sure looks like it... I thought he was gone on that punt return for a second.
  2. UMFan83
    Wow, the Buc offense really does suck
  3. UMFan83
    ZZ Thorn is back! http://boards.chicagobears.com/forums/thread/228874.aspx

    To look at it a different way, lets settle this with numbers: Jason Marquis vs. PA AB H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS Sammy Sosa 15 12 4 1 0 0 1 3 2 .333 .467 .417 .884 Sosa wins

    Per Fox Chicago's pregame show: OUT: John Tait Tank Johnson Todd Johnson Nathan Vasher GAME TIME DECISION: Muhsin Muhammad

    Andre Dawson and Mark Grace were great players for the Cubs, but they do not even come close to deserving Sammy Sosa status in terms of retired numbers. Don't forget that at the present time, the Cubs only have 4 numbers retired (Banks, Williams, Santo, Sandberg). It's a pretty exclusive club. I mean if we are going to retire Grace's number, we might as well retire Gabby Hartnett, Hack Wilson and other Cubs of yesteryear that actually led the team to WS appearence.

    Let's not forget the BEST #31 in the Maddux-less years... KEVIN FOSTER! I was rooting for that kid. Don't ask why. Yeah but when Maddux left the Cubs, he had not already been a HOFer. I guess then you could argue that Maddux shouldn't have his number retired as a Cub, since he didn't do much on his second stay to justify. But my guess is that the Cubs will retire his number because 'its the right thing to do'
  8. UMFan83
    Still no word on Marquis number eh?
  9. UMFan83
    Three or four wins? Yeah thats just not true.
  10. UMFan83
    Well at least he is consistent.
  11. UMFan83
    Seriously do the Cubs even look at numbers in their player acquisitions or do they say things like "willy....oh yeah he's the guy that threw out 3 cubs at home in that one series...speedy little dude, he'll be great on this team!"
  12. UMFan83
    With Pierre and Bynum gone, its obvious the Cubs are under their quota of sub-.700 OPS guys in the lineup.
  13. UMFan83
    Yet they are 20th in offensive yards and 3rd in defensive yards. (This is probably true, but I dont remember the source of the info)
  14. UMFan83
    Damn, I was hoping it was Phil Hughes
  15. UMFan83
    So any other news about the case other then the fact that Rex Grossman and Jessica Alba were led out in handcuffs?

    http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-061214tank,1,3541458.story?coll=cs-home-headlines It was drugs they were looking for and found. He'll probably be suspended by the team for the season is my guess.
  17. UMFan83
    Now the same people are hearing rumors that his house has been raided. He has 2 priors apparently. (source is Chicagobears.com's message boards)
  18. UMFan83
    People are speculating its a steroids suspension meaning that he'd miss the rest of the regular season plus the divisional game.
  19. UMFan83
    Numbers seem decent...some of them a bit low
  20. UMFan83
    So was Ernie Banks And Devin Hester, also alot of hot chicks. At one point I thought it was the Cubs cameraman, because he was showing all the hotties. On a scale of 1-10, here is how I would rate the reaction of the fans: 10 out of 10 - Cheering for the Bulls to hit 100 for the Big Macs 9 out of 10 - Hester on the Jumbotron (this was extended for about 30-40 seconds too, a lot of people stood up and clapped) 7 out of 10 - Banks 6 out of 10 - Soriano (a noticible contingent of boos from White Sox fans, who didn't boo Banks) 3 out of 10 - The rest of the game action. Bulls fans are lifeless unless they are begged to cheer, and most of the time its not during game action.

    So was Ernie Banks

    Why does everyone hate Canada so much?
  23. UMFan83
    At least they are calling it a slump rather then a fluke. A slump indicates that the person making the comment believes that the player is better to whatever extent then the way they are playing. A fluke means that yesterday's game is an abberation and has little chance of happening again with any consistancy.
  24. UMFan83
    That sucks that they think that but who cares? I'm not speaking to you in general Banedon, but I don't see why people get so worked up about what some talking head on TV says about their team. It's not going to make the Bears any less likely to win the Super Bowl.

    Havlat is singlehandedly trying to save Chicago hockey Edit: is that too many photos on my sig/avatar?
