When the sample of crap overwhelms the overall sample.
-
Hell yes I am. I'm just not hopeful that any of you will start to get it. You've seen it happen a ridiculous amount of times in your life: red-hot team goes cold in the playoffs and vice-versa. But the need to believe in streaks is too strong.

That's a poor explanation of the rule by NHL.com Here's the rule itself: http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26480 If, in the judgment of the referee(s), the player idd not make a reasonable effort to avoid incidental contact outside the crease, the goal can be disallowed without a penalty being called.
-
It that case, it's referee's discretion whether the player made "a reasonable effort to avoid the contact." That would definitely be against the rule.
-
Not his fault some stupid GM overpaid him.
-
Incorrect. According to NHL rule 69.1, incidental contact within the crease will result in a disallowed goal but not a penalty. Edit to add: 69.1 says that incidental contact within the crease *that impairs the goaltenders' ability to move within his crease* results in a goal being disallowed 69.2 outlines when to call a penalty, and that's when the player *initiates* contact with the goaltender.

Your mind-reading skills are amazing. You should put them to better use.

He was excellent in that scenario last playoffs. But he may not be that same guy right now.

IDK My brother and I often went to Wrigley in the late 70s and got bleacher seats with no problem. Place was mostly empty and the neighborhood around the park was not nearly as thriving as it is today. Are we talking about the Cubs/Wrigley combination being popular, or just about the Cubs centering their marketing around the park and not the team?
-
Anyways, there's the full season numbers. The Ray lineup was a smidge deeper, as expected in a DH league, but otherwise they look pretty similar.

1) Is that their OPS on going into the day? Seems silly to voluntarily use a half-season of sample size. 2) Player (1998 OPS) Biggio .906 Bell .855 Bagwell .981 Howell .857 Alou .981 Clark .547 Guttierrez .671 Ausmus .713 Reynolds .396

Wrigley has been the star since long before most of us were born. Read the book Wrigleyville on the history of the Cubs and there are lots of references to the team focusing the marketing around the park many decades ago.
-
I'd say the goalie thing is pretty much settled.
-
The Hawks would probably beat the Wings. But nothing is guaranteed. I can handle the Hawks losing in the playoffs. But in the first round to the Red Wings after this dream regular season? That's too much to handle.

Are you for the Health Care bill?
Hairyducked Idiot replied to Skyballer's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'd be pretty careful about citing the preamble if I were a conservative. It gives the government a directive to promote the general welfare. Congress doesn't need the preamble for a directive to promote/provide the general welfare. Because, you know, it's actually in the text of the document as well. And the power to enact anything necessary and proper to fulfill that directive. But *shhhh*, don't tell the conservatives. -

A lot more sense. And even better would be a pervasive system of public hospitals, just like the roads. -

Car insurance remains a stupid argument. One is the government putting restrictions on giving you a license to operate your motor vehicle on government roads. I can drive my car all day long on private property without insurance, if I am so inclined. The other is the government requiring you, no matter what you choose to do, to purchase a product from a private company. They aren't remotely the same thing. -
Not trying to one up or anything, but Wood had an awesome beginning to his next game as well. Unfortunately, he left with injury IIRC. Don't believe so. He went 7 innings and struck out 13, allowing one run on a homer to some bad catcher. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ARI/ARI199805110.shtml Apparently the bad catcher was Kelly Stinnett.

CBS sports line has said they do not keep track of private bracket regions because picks can be changed after the fact, so there's no way to confirm if that kid really had a perfect bracket or not.
-
Who is? We own Vancouver most nights, San Jose is reeling as hard as we have been if not harder. Would you call Nashville or LA as legitimate force? Detroit of course scares the crud out of me.
-
I don't know. They might play like crap, they might get on a hot streak again. Nothing to do but hope for the best. Sports are fickle like that. I definitely *wanted* a better goalie. I just don't think the season's over because we didn't get one. As we showed last night, we are perfectly capable of beating the best in the Western Conference with what we have now.

I'm sorry that I offended you by doubting your amazing psychic powers.

The people who built the country were *very* big on the idea of an educated elite doing what they think is best for the rest of us. -
