  1. "Wrong" does not mean "close and not in the Cubs' favor"
  2. I think most of our RBIs with the bases loaded this year have come via walk. Five of 12. :)
  3. When the bases are loaded, everyone is anxious to get the big hit, and the patience dissolves.. 5 bases loaded walks in 23 PAs, including the two last inning.
  4. Cubs, going into this game, had a .429 OBP with the bases loaded.
  5. On average I'd worry when they have a lot of innings on their knees, regardless of age. But not everyone's average. Soto's comp list has a fair number of guys who fell off to varying degrees, and everybody's bodies react differently.
  6. Clark Griswold Blackhawks jersey is awesome as long as it's not the only one you own.
  7. Nice hit, Fontenot. 20 more just like it and you'll be out of my doghouse for that idiotic baserunning play.
  8. Guys who you always have to worry about for downturns: Catchers. Mediocre minor leaguers who suddenly start hitting for two years. Soto is both. Not saying he will decline, but you write his contributions in pencil.
  9. *bookmarks for the future 'we never hit rookies' posts*
  10. wait are we talking about newspapers or umpires Newspapers, umpires, professional sports, acting, music, art. It's a dynamic that plays out in any field where there's a lot of desire and little demand. Freakonomics had a good chapter in that book on how drug dealing is set up the same way.
  11. You will be one of hundreds scraping by on almost nothing and hoping for a long shot at making a real living at the MLB level. If you want to risk your livelihood and probably waste your life chasing that, go for it, but it doesn't seem that great to me.
  12. Iginla: 22 minutes of ice time, 3 shots, 0 points, -1 Jokinen: 19 minutes of ice time, 3 shots, 0 points, -1 Blackhawks win 34/56 faceoffs. In conclusion: Pahlsson was a coup for Tallon. Exactly what we needed.
  13. I'll take my chances with Anaheim, St. Louis *or* Vancouver before I want to face Detroit or San Jose. This needs to happen.
  14. This is how the Blackhawks beat physical play. Teams get so caught up in their physical reputation that they forget that the team that wins is the one that puts the puck in the net the most times. If the Calgary defender had been a little more worried about clearing his goalie's view and a little less about being "physical" with Ladd, we might still be playing.
  15. Hooray! We're winning a playoff game this year!
  16. "As good of a team" isn't the same as the Blackhawks looking like hot, nasty garbage for 52 minutes. And without Regher and Sarich, they really aren't as good of a team as us.
  17. Ladd was pushed into the goalie on that last save. If you are pushed into the goalie, it's only interference if you make "no effort" to get back out of the goalie's way.
  18. Havlat's goal was third-fastest playoff OT goal in history.
