Not that it matters at all but if we lose this we will have played 1 game better than the White Sox over the first 50 games What would the power ranking implications of that be it's several notches on the confidence meter, i tell you what
Russell would've been out by a lot, that throw was a missle. Guessing he was held up due to the scouting report on the RF. Also Cosart sucks, we should score at least 5 runs on him. it was way too far up the line to have gotten him, i think
i think the blackhawks run would still be remembered as being more impressive. that first crosby team that won the cup was too long ago, and they had too many ugly/disappointing playoff exits between then and last year. also the east was pretty weak in lots of those years. the blackhawks consistently did it against great competition.
it was a ticky tack call, but heyward definitely lunged to his left a little bit there for no apparent reason. maybe he was trying to adjust to hit the bag correctly or something, but it did kind of look intentional
