  1. their game plan really got to us? what was their game plan? to get dominated for 2 periods, score a lucky goal, and then have troy brouwer give them the winning one? the blackhawks were clearly the more skilled team on the ice. the predators won because the blakchawks allowed them to. they allowed their typical soft goal and then fell apart for the next several minutes like they always do. i don't understand why they always collapse right after giving up one of those soft goals. they always look like a completely different team when they get gut punched by one of the clowns in goal
  2. wait, im confused. you mean the issues we had in the regular season might actually come into play in the postseason? i thought once the playoffs start it doesnt matter?
  3. http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2010/0416/mlb_a_clemmens_65.jpg http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5098407
  4. somebody should remind those clowns that they had a goal differential of ZERO this season... to the blackhawks +62
  5. this organization is so fuckin predictable. now that he's dominating as a starter, of course they'll eff with him
  6. 0 SOG for ovechkin tonight
  7. i just wanna put my face in it
  8. it would be so typical of the cubs to interrupt his development right when he's starting to dominate as a starter
  9. he still looks like a pitcher
  10. Even with the awful year last year, Soriano's 2009 was better than 2 of the past 3 years for Wells. Soriano has posted OPS' of .726, .876 and .897 the past three years. Wells has posted OPS' of .711, .840 and .706. Wells has had two really good seasons (.909 OPS in 2003 and .899 OPS in 2006) that have really helped his career numbers. Besides those two years, he's been a .760-.800 OPS guy. I'd rather take the chance that Soriano – the significantly better hitter throughout his career – rebounds from one bad year than that Wells rebounds from 2 out of 3 bad years. Went to today's game and watched Soriano really butcher plays out in LF. He may rebound offensively, but his defense is just brutal. i really need to get to a game so i can confirm this defense of his
  11. i see the sharks are up to their usual playoff antics
  12. i think noah wants to go to the playoffs
  13. In an ESPN interview I just heard McGwire say "I truly believe this game is 98% mental".
  14. does anybody know where i can get a bradley cubs shirtzee? (seriously, i want one)
  15. Well, I'd argue that the Cardinals are. I rank the Phillies #1 and the Cardinals a fairly close #2...and I think there's a pretty big drop-off after that. But that's a different discussion. What I was saying is that the Cardinals have about as good of a chance of winning the NL Central as the Phillies have of winning the NL East. I don't think any of the other 4 divisions have a clear favorite (of course, 2nd place in the AL East will still get you into the postseason). how many very good players do the cardinals have? 4? the cards are pretty much carp/wainwright/pujols/holliday and then a bunch of filler (though rasmus is looking pretty good so far). the phillies look pretty stacked to me.
  16. milton with the GW 3 run bomb!
  17. why does it have to be a big market team that trades for him? we've seen lots of blockbuster trades with stud players going to teams that didn't extend them. I'm not really remembering many, which trades are you talking about? CC? Teixeira? holliday (when oakland got him) soriano (when washington got him)

  19. but the important thing is that there WILL be a bidding war. there wasn't really a bidding war for peavy. the braves had a deal worked out but the refusal to let Peavy keep his NTC broke it up. the cubs seemingly would have gotten him if not for the ownership situation. then when the sox got him, there weren't really any rumors at all of anybody competing with them. also, gonzalez will be a much more attractive player at this deadline than peavy was when he was traded. peavy had lots of question marks around him.
  20. i was questioning his masculinity because of his inability to admit the real reason he has (twice) posted bradley's stats. i think it's pretty obvious why he posted them (twice).
  21. on the overhead view you could see noah smiling through the net
  22. hinrich steppin up
