    But what happens if the Bears fumble the snap and the Lions recover and score?
  2. UMFan83
    Remember in 2002 when the Lions won the OT coin toss and elected to play D and then lost? Hahaha
  3. UMFan83
    Here comes a 10 play 40 yard drive that eats up 4:23 and ends with a Lions FG

    Garcia shuffled his feet backwards at the last second...saved his team 7 points.

    In what will probably be my signature tagline for most of the winter I am a non-Sox and Illini Chicago sports fan. I am used to disapointment :(

    How could anyone not in Detroit, Minnesota, Green Bay or Chicago enjoy watching NFC North games. They are mostly terribly played, with tons of penalties, low scoring, etc.
  7. UMFan83
    No they are family of Doug Eddings

    Unbelieveable the way the Defense has collapsed this half. I think the Lions have all the momentum here and the Bears havent put together a good drive since the last FG. I can't see the Bears coming from behind in this game if they have to.....ugh what a terrible week in sports.

    With regards to Giles, if Hendry can get rid of Hundley with his production/contract and he can get rid of Sosa, he could get rid of Giles if his numbers slip

    Terrible move if the Cubs really plan on keeping Walker to play 2B next year. If thats the case, it pretty much IMO pushes Nomar out of the picture and makes it so we MUST sign Furcal, while relagating Cedeno to Iowa or the end of the bench. Otherwise, its 98 years for the Cubbies

    ^^ Didn't you hear Hawk. AJ is the best defensive catcher in baseball! :roll:
  12. UMFan83
    Yeah I don't understand why the Cubs feel the need to have offense at SS and C, but no offense in RF and LF (and CF for that matter). Even worse is that their offensive SS and C are terrible at D. Wonder why we haven't won in 97 years...
  13. UMFan83
    Yeah, I like Barrett as a person, but I'd much rather have a weaker hitting/great defensive catcher
  14. UMFan83
    Well considering Maddux was signed to a 3 year deal after the Cubs went to the NLCS and Dusty was at the height of his popularity in Chicago leads me to believe that...no
  15. UMFan83
    Anyone else find it strange that a thread with the word "rant" in its title has remained in Baseball Discussions for so long? ;)
  16. UMFan83
    Not to nitpick, but Leno tapes in LA. Letterman and Conan tape in NYC

    http://www.astrosdaily.com It's funny that in 2003 they had Lidge, Dotel, Wagner for 7th, 8th, 9th. Then they traded Wagner, and made Dotel the closer. Then Dotel stunk and Lidge became the man. Now Lidge has stunk in the WS (despite a mostly fine regular season). Maybe Qualls or Gallow can close?

    I was awoken at 4:30 AM by Sox fans chanting "LETS GO WHITE SOX" while walking down Ashland (Near Irving Park). Ugh
  19. UMFan83
    ^ OK that article enrages me to no end. To say that the Cubs fans are racist because they didn't want to see their crosstown rivals gloat in their face for the whole year, thats....well I won't comment any further on it because thats exactly what he wants us to do is respond with disgust
  20. UMFan83
    I don't even understand what he's talking about there. It was packed last year, when? During the regular season? Umm there is a good reason for that. Does he expect Cubs fans (besides me) to come out to the bars on a Wednesday night to watch their hated crosstown rivals celebrate a White Sox world series in front of them? That is just Cub-hating right there.
  21. UMFan83
    The White Sox are much closer to building a dynasty then the Cubs are. There I said it...
  22. UMFan83
    BTW, is everyone sick of people who make say "Red Sox in 2004, White Sox in 2005, Cubs in 2006?" Maybe I'm upset about it because I know the Cubs and they won't come through... :(
  23. UMFan83
    Just wanted to post the article where polosprt09 (JP Zarka) and I (Tony DeMaria) were heavily quoted in: http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20051027&content_id=1260887&vkey=news_cws&fext=.jsp&c_id=cws

    More class from Sox fans. A friend that was WITH me tonight that left us when we left to go home. This is taken from an IM convo Him: 3 white sox fans beat me up Him: no i was walking to the el and these three dudes were saying stuff and then one of them pushed me so i pushed him then bam the other two were on me Him: yeah just a bit sore...it only lasted like 30 seconds Him: they were just giving me crap cuz of my cubs hat then one of them pushed me Him: oh well...it just gives me more of a reason to hate the sox
  25. UMFan83
    Thank God I live all the way over on Ashland. Also, look on MLB.com tomorrow for a quote from me. A freelance writer had the nerve to ask me questions at the bar because I am a Cubs fan.
