2013-14 Defending Champion Blackhawks Regular Season Thread
Soul replied to Drew Doughty's topic in Other Sports
Just because it's kind of fun to bitch & moan about your teams. There's no real point. -
Now I'm starting to wonder if Theo's beginning to overthink this a bit. Not seeing how Wedge makes much sense here.
-
The Cardinals are too good alright. Too good at hiding all their cheating. THAT GUY WOULD BE OFF MY CHRISTMAS CARD LIST!
-
Yep, I'm pretty sure I've seen Cards pitchers with it on their hat, and openly touching it before gripping the ball. I assume others are doing it, too. This is no scandal.
-
You're a Cubs lifer just like everyone else on this board. You aren't going anywhere. Also, this likely won't happen.
-
But that's a real good reason to hate them :)
-
Lol, awesome.
-
Putting him in a spot where he's more likely to have to tackle RBs on a regular basis than at CB seems counter intuitive to me when you're trying to keep him away from injuries. Maybe, but safeties seem to acquire injuries regardless - probably for the exact reason you described. It wouldn't be just a Tillman thing if he spent time injured. I think he'd be good at it, for a couple years. It depends on how the Bears look at it and how much he's paid.
-
yeah, when im like "[expletive] the red sox" i realize that if they win this series, that will be two times in less than a decade they saved us from a st louis world title plus another world series that theo had significant influence on. Yep.
-
And he may have injured himself.
-
SOOOO damn close.
-
I still value leadership, nebulous as that may be. Yeah, I care. I want our next manager to be the guy who becomes a legend in this town for riding the Cubs to the top. We all do. Maybe it's difficult to say a manager can positively cause wins to happen, but I think he can screw things up enough to send the team in the wrong direction - even if he's a pretty smart person. So I think this is an important move for the Cubs, yes.
-
Hah. Please let this continue.

3rd period comes and Chicago cringes. Come on knock it off Hawks. -
If there's an opportunity for WGN to show AFHV, they won't miss it.

There are myriad ways and reasons he can be traded for "a player who is already better than he is". But to be crystal clear, in my opinion the Cubs are in no position to trade him for minor leaguers. If they trade him the need to get better by the trade. It is not a good sign for 2014 if they trade him and don't get better. kI don't see why it matters since they aren't likely to be competing for the division with or without him this hear. He's been very inconsistent with occasional bouts of greatness. He's shown enough that we could probably entice someone to give up a good package of prospects for him this offseason. My opinion is that he's a mid rotation starter but can bring back more value than that in a trade, so they should pull the trigger in that scenario. I realize there are people who think he's a future ace, but I don't see it. i'm just tired of punting. I'm not a big fan of his either, but with all due respect to Tavis Wood, circa 2013, Shark is the best pitcher on the team. It makes more sense to me to try to work out a reasonable contract and if he's not amenable, trade him at the deadline. You don't like him but we should just keep him around because he's the best of the mediocre? Pass.

Desperation.

Here they come
-
Nobody's tanking, stop with that.

I'm not sure if Tucker is the problem. It's just Emery and mostly Angelo left us with an aging defense that hit it's peak already. Agree. I wish Tucker would make better adjustments but I'm not sure you can adequately judge him when nearly half the (yes, admittedly aging) starters are out. I just don't know what he's actually doing that's of value. The whole carry on Lovie's scheme thing was nice, but it's not going to work to have one of your primary leaders do nothing but follow a dead regime. So far he just seems like a non-entity to me, and I'd like something more.
-
Once again, ref right there, can't see the obvious
-
Whatever we do on D, let's do it without Tucker.
-
House is really good.
-
I still don't see what would have caused such an injury on that play.
-
Has to be.
