[sigh] I remember the good ol' days, when we used to have pro Hockey in Chicago. The Montreal v Chicago Stanly Cup finals was one of the all-time great series. Yeah..... the Hawks beat 'em in the semi-finals 4-2 in '61, after the Canadiens had embarassed us the year before, 4-0 !!

[sigh] I remember the good ol' days, when we used to have pro Hockey in Chicago. I know it is too bad the Wolves had such a bad year. :lol: Touche !! I should know better than making a crack like that..... my sister works for the Wolves !! :oops:

I see you around here so seldom anymore..... I thought you DID stop following the CUBS !!! :wink:

That's what I don't get with him. Back in the day when he had some value, he was one of the toughest guys to strikeout. Other than just not being good, what happened? How does your perception align with reality ? So far, there have been 18 non-pitchers on our 25 man roster during the course of this season. Normalizing their strikeouts by AB's, you go from a maximum of 35.6% to a minumum of 7.3% K/ABs. While Pierre is striking out at a somewhat higher rate than his career average, just where do you think he ranks within the 18 hitters we've used this year ?
