    Hi, I'm Skip Schumaker!

    Coming from the American to National league, I wouldn't be suprised if Lilly had a very good season. A valid point. I thought he might have a nice season because of this. But this is beyond my most optimistic hopes. Of course, he hasn't really pitched an 80 degree day with the wind blowing out at Wrigley yet.

    All I keep thinking is that we can't possibly stay this lucky with Marquis and Lilly all season. One of them has to suck or at least be mediocre eventually, right? I mean, Lilly's K/BB right now is just absurd. Wow. Then again, Maddux started out looking like Maddux in his prime last year.

    Nah... 15-2 2.51 ERA

    Anyone think the Bulls will be doing whatever possible (in a non-cheap way) to make Wade worry about that shoulder? Force him to drive the opposite way and expose it on offense, force him to run into a lot of picks on defense, etc.

    Gooden was already a big star and had proven himself to be a phenomenal major league pitcher when he was battling his problems. EDIT - Guess I'm a few minutes too late.

    The Bulls aren't 10th. There's a three-way tie for 8th. Not as nice as being tied for 6th, but not as bad as being 10th all alone either. Oh, ok. Nice. That's actually a slight relief. What are the tie-breakers, though? As in, if none of the teams tied for 8th get a top 3 pick, where do the Knicks end up?

    Bulls -150 against Heat for the series. I was hoping they'd be 'dogs so I could bet them. http://www17.pinnaclesports.com/guestcontestLines.asp?redirected=yes&ContestType=NBA%20Series%20Prices

    This seems oddly familiar. Didn't you express something similar back in November when the Bulls were 3-9? Or how about back in February when they struggled a bit heading into the All-Star break? Is this some kind of defense mechanism? Expect the worst and be surprised when things work out kind of thing? No one played better basketball down the stretch than the Bulls in the East. They have the best home record in the East. They have home court in their series against the Heat. I don't understand the pessimism. Soul is just pessimistic by nature. He was the same way about the Bears all season. I've learned not to let it annoy me. :)

    Eh? Don't we need to do a ping pong ball blower-thingy first before we know that? We were tied for 5th (or was it 6th?) yesterday. Worst case scenario was we'd wind up at 10th, and we did. Knicks won and everyone else lost. As for the ping pong balls, we know have a lot fewer ping bong balls to be blown... If I understand it correctly, it's either get incredibly lucky and land in the top 3... or wind up 10th (or worse, if a later picking lottery team gets lucky with the ping pong balls). i still think the draft lottery is a sham until they actual draw the ping pong balls live. All this secret drawing, envelope nonsense is crap Wait... you think the idea of Stern telling the refs to call the games in favor of the Heat is ludicrous yet you think the draft lotto is fixed? Seems contradictory to me. Frankly, I think both conspiracy theories are ludicrous. Okay, sham is the wrong word. But there is no reason to hide the drawing. In fact, I think it would be more exciting to see the ping pong balls come out then the super boring envelope reveal That I can agree with.

    300+ million underachieving group of losers, or hard working playoff basketball team...I'd go with the Bulls game. Christ...now the fans are citing this stupid $300 million thing, too?

    I'm far more concerned about having dropped to 10th in the draft than I am about the Heat. Bring 'em on.

    Bulls in 6

    THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CURSE. Anyone who believes otherwise is freaking kidding themselves.
  18. David
    Nope. Bad baseball. the ball bouncing right back to the catcher was bad baseball? That happens to the good teams all the time. They still win. that doesn't make sense. the cubs have turned over their management, coaching staff, and personel so many times over the years it can't just be bad baseball. what are the chances that theriot GIDP? You can't be SERIOUSLY arguing in favor of believing in curses... are you?

    Last I heard, Prior was fully healthy and ready to go full speed with the rest of the team. Yep. Heard the same thing. Is this for real or is it a sick joke? Unfortunately I'll never be able to make myself give up on Prior. It's a sick joke. As of yesterday... http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070417&content_id=1914512&vkey=news_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc

    That's about all I would do on that list. Not a fan of breakfast, lunch, dinner, or sleeping with Courtney Cox?

    Miller gives up 6 hits and 4 walks and it's tied, you're darn right I'm ecstatic. but, but a 5.40 ERA with a 2.00 WHIP is never acceptable, right GOONY? Correct. It's an unacceptable performance by the pitcher. I'm ecstatic that they were lucky enough to still be in the game. I thought it was a quality start by Miller! He had less then his best and battled!!!! You can't be serious. He didn't have less than his best. That is his best. His best is bad. And he was lucky to get out of there with a performance that works out to a 5.40 ERA and a 2.00 WHIP. EDIT - Thought so. ;)
  22. David
    Anyone with a brain could see this was coming. Miller's stuff is garbage. Why the decision makers would feel that his lucky performances in spring training earned him a rotation spot is inexplicable and beyond me. He's garbage. Batting practice. To all those that jumped on me and questioned my loyalty to the Cubs, THIS is why i was rooting for Miller to get pasted and suck bad in his last few spring training starts. I'd rather lose spring training games than give away ones that count.
  23. David
    I really hate flat brimmed hats. When did that become cool? It looks terrible. I've trained every hat I've ever owned.
  24. David
    Wrong thread...
  25. David
    This organization smokes crack. They're probably stretching him out to start after Miller sucks today.
