i wasnt watching... were either of those 2 goals kahbi's fault? if so, how long does he get a free pass for? he's been garbage since he came back

well if theyre gonna lose hopefully they get blown out so a) i can stop watching b) they get booed off the ice

lol

Crosby will never score 50 goals so we don't have to worry about that do we? so acting like a douche is acceptable if you score 50 goals but not if you lead the league in points got it All things considered secondary PP Assists should only count as 1/4 of a point anyways... that's all he gets. haven't we already discussed the fact that crosby doesn't have a higher ratio of pp points than other top scorers and that you basically made it up? im pretty sure we did

you don't? most nhl players aren't cocky showboats so that's why you don't see it ub hockey, and that's a great part of the nhl. you know if crosby did it you'd be trashing him like crazy

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

I'm not saying it's new... just that it's obnoxious. That's Ovechkin though

so he just chooses not to?

batista with the catchchhhhhhh

You know, I like Ovie. I really do. But his T.O.-like celebration with his stick when he scored his 50th was a little over the top. I know that's not really him and he thinks this is "being marketable," but I think it's likely to turn off a lot of hockey fans. And if he does that around the wrong guy, he just might get pummeled. I wish I could like Ovechkin but he makes it impossible. Dude is so obnoxious. I'd rather watch a crybaby than a douchebag. The 50th goal celebration was an embarrassment. Get that garbage out of here, this isn't the NFL.

The tourney has been really boring so far

Benching him is giving up on him. It's possible but I think Lee would have to struggle really really badly for several months before Lou considered that.

I knew it wouldn't be long untill someone played the "small sample size" card. The numbers are still real, and he continues to impress with every opportunity he gets. Just like it was real when Murton put up a .907 OPS in his first 140 ABs. Or when Cedeno hit .300 in his first 80 ABs Yes, those were real. The problem is that he couldn't keep up those numbers consistantly. We gave him a shot and he didnt perform. If we give Hoff a shot and he doesn't performe, fine. If we give him a shot and he keeps up huge numbers, we have a great situation. An .832 minor career minor league OPS is impressive for a 28 year old 1B? Not overly. More impressive is what he has done over the past 1 1/2 - 2 years. Why does it matter how old he is? Are we not going to play him because he didn't peak at the typical year for a minor league prospect? Who is assuming that? Literally nobody. All he he to do is hit like he did in 00, 02, 03, 04, 05, or 07 Nice. Did you look up his stats and just stat typing years without thinking? I agree we just need him to be 00, 02, 03 Dlee, but the fact that he is batting # 3 in our lineup tells me some (coaching) think he can come close to those #'s Huh? I included 05 because that's just one of the multiple seasons he could match from his career and be fine. I never said he had to produce like all of those years. I think it's pretty obvious what I meant. And what's this "00, 02, 03" stuff? What about 2007 when he had the second best season of is career? Really Lee has had ONE down year over the last several years, which was in 2008. You don't give up on a guy immediately because of one bad year.

there are two options a) intuitively realize 900 MLE ops the last 2 seasons (as well as 900 in 73 mlb AB or whatever) shows him as a really good bet to be productive with the bat b) lazily bring up some meaningless dumb-ass career figure that equally incorporates his pitiful 660 OPS seasons from 4+ years ago before he clearly figured things out. hey guys i don't think much of this Geovany Soto, a .784 career OPS in the minors isn't really doing it for me and true to form, which route does dexter go? Wait a second. Who was the one who brought up the career .832 OPS? Was it me? Seriously, why don't you go back and check. No, it wasn't. Yes, Hoffpauir has raked at AAA in the last 2 seasons. Did he say that? No. He brought up his career minor league OPS (which isn't good) and that's what I replied to. So if by "true to form" you mean "replying to something that somebody said", then yes.

I like the "Hoff has a career .900+ OPS" in 73 abs and only because of 1 game

well if we don't acquire another SP he'll probably get starts, but yeah.... especially after he was told to be prepared to start when he was traded. i thought for sure he was gonna be the 5th starter

Didn't see this posted anywhere. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090319&content_id=4034096&vkey=news_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc Good. I like it just because I wanted Heilman in the pen. If he pitches like he did from 05-07 then the pen should be better than last year's, despite losing Wood. So at least we've seemingly upgraded in one area this offseason.

They're on a 3 game win streak now and have beaten teams like New Orleans, Houston, Orlando, Cleveland, Boston, Utah twice, Phoenix twice, Philadelphia, etc okay now list all the awful teams they've lost to i agree with the other guy. this thread is bi-polar as hell. everytime the bulls go on a mini win streak suddenly they've got "some exciting pieces" and "things are coming together". then they blow a game to a bottom feeder and go back to sucking and everyone admits that really this team is a mess.

exactly 2 game winning streak and suddenly this mess of a team is fun

I am beginning to think that Salmons is exciting. Noah is exciting. He excites my anger whenever he touches the ball and shoots with two hands. Tyrus is exciting when he's not handling the basketball. Ben Gordon has one of the prettiest jumpshots in the NBA. The only thing wrong about the Bulls is Luol Deng. and the coach and all the others players

a) derosa is dreamy (yeah i said it) but he takes HORRIBLE player profile pictures every single year. he needs to work on that b) wood looks really sad

misleading thread title
