QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 10:46 PM) He's hitting .114 in the playoffs with 12 strikeouts. He actually said he was shocked he was sat down. Maybe the Yankees need a new hitting coach. Baseball cliches for $1000....

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 10:50 PM) I still think the PP is run too much through the point. At times, especially on Hawks 5-3's, there just seems to be way to much standing around, and not enough cycling. That's a John Torchetti special. They like the D-men to throw it at the net and hope for a putback. Hopefully that changes when Toews and Hossa get out there.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 30, 2009 -> 03:20 AM) This isn't true at all. Nobody outside of hardcore hockey fans (and there aren't that many) gives a s*** about hockey in this city. That's just fact. Hockey in no way has the ability to draw the casual/bandwagon fan. For every 10 people, you might find 1 that can name 5 players from the Blackhawks. The Hawks out drew the Bulls last year. Try again.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 10:01 PM) Kane and that Hjalmarsson kid were really good. Too bad they (esp. Kane) got no help. Kane needs to be on a skilled line. Being out there with Madden just doesn't work.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 10:00 PM) It took me a really long time to figure out what other chicago team was playing tonight. The Bulls.

QUOTE (G&T @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 02:27 PM) Can I get my title changed to "Showering in the Golden Waters of Justice"? Done and Done

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 07:58 PM) My mom works for an auditor's office in a county in Indiana and they are a nightmare mess because of what Daniel's done. I could tell you some stories about the DLGF...

If you would have told me that a Chicago team would win, and one would lose tonight, I would have lost every dime of my life savings today.

Great night by Huet, maybe his best of the year. Too bad the offense was piss poor all night.

XM radio is much more interesting than this thread.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 07:52 PM) I always felt like there was one pitch he could throw from side-arm that had a ton of movement on it and then another one that was pretty straight, was I wrong on that? If Jose kept his hand over his wrist when he dropped down, he got a ton of movement down late in the pitch. If he got on the side of the ball, it had a straight sideways movement and was very hittable. It was the thing they had him work on when he went to AAA.

Very lackluster first period by the Hawks, thankfully Huet came to play and held Nash scoreless.

Very interesting double post.

Diving into the numbers, like I suggested a couple of months ago... http://blogs.reuters.com/james-pethokoukis...temkin-economy/ In other words, hiring is still not happening, spending is falling, which is what the entire rally in the Dow has been about, and stimulus money isn't making the impact that was hoped for.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 04:04 PM) I'm pretty sure the marriage gig didn't contractually obligate $331-$448k per MONTH for the rest of her life. Depending on how long they have been married, and how much money they have made together, not to mention if there is a pre-nup, it might. If nothing precludes it, she is entitled to keep living her lifestyle in a lot of states.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 03:26 PM) Swisher benched for Hairston is being reported. What are "Things you saw coming a mile away" for $200 Alex?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 03:12 PM) I swear the update on the score said Walker was just given a 2 year extension The entire coaching staff was extended through 011.

Really? Hopefully you didn't take a marketing class to figure that one out...

PS don't write another!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 11:56 AM) 43 wins. One playoff round win. If they win 43 games, they will play someone like Boston, Orlando, or Cleveland in the first round, and they will be lucky to win a game against them, let alone a series.

Just a minute here...

Yeah, Butler!
