  1. That brings up an interesting question, if a team wanted to stall for an indefinite amount of time is there a rule preventing them from attempting pickoffs forever??
  2. IIRC, Paul Konerko flew out to DEEP LEFT to end that barn burner last year. BTW we started our 8 game winning streak after that night.
  3. Umps usually check the forecast and make a decision. If the forecast was heavy rain all night they'd call it. Otherwise they wait it out.
  4. Is it raining? Sportsline hasn't updated for a while.
  5. This rook will prolly settle down after that. Good old GIDPaul
  6. Here's some more French for ya: bocage is pronounced bO-käzh' This totally ruined an awesome word for me cuz i liked pronouncing it boca-gee.
  7. I checked on Google. It appears they used to be called or still have the official name of Les Habitants de Montreal. Habs being short for Habitants. If anyone else wants to jump in here...
  8. Sorry to the Bruins fans on here but a 3-1 comeback capped with a game 7 victory on the road is pretty impressive in any sport. Hats off to the Habs.
  9. Damn good thing Lofton is injured. Also guessing Escalona, Boone, and Brosius won't be in the lineup.
  10. So we are facing basically a two-pitch left-handed pitcher? He would probably pitch a 2-hit shutout against the pre-Ozzie White Sox.
  11. It's not just Chitown residents. Every time I visit the Cell and come out of that tunnel to see the field for the first time, I am a child all over again for one brief instant.
  12. It is on TV, but not nearly as much as basketball, football, or baseball and for good reason. Fan bases are built on the younger generations and kids today can pick up a ball or a bat and a mitt and go out and play three of the four major professional sports in this country. Hockey on the other hand requires every kid to have his own skates and stick along with some ice to play on. I grew up in Illinois and I think there was one pond near my house that froze over for maybe one day a year. So for a good nine months of the year, I could play baseball, football, basketball, or even soccer whenever and almost wherever I wanted. If I ever wanted to play hockey, I would have to get someone to drive me to the ice rink 10 miles away. This tells me hockey does not really have a promising future in terms of its fanbase in this country and many others.
  13. Can a leopard really change its spots? Or maybe Mariotti had a moment of clarity.
  14. Oh ok, what I really wanted was to be able to sort them by team but these individual ones work too.
  15. Does anyone know of a website that keeps updated stats on quality starts?? I am curious who leads the league in quality starts or what team has the most etc.
  16. Giles bat ran into Petco Park. And Mora cant play 3B.
  17. Graves has thrown 3 or 4 hangers this inning. If one gets over the plate...
  18. Hall of Famer? Me thinks yes largely because he is a two bagger.
  19. When your 4th starter has to come in a day after your 5th starter bombed and flat out dominates that is a real morale booster. It's not very easy to be the stopper in a 4th starter like Scot who also had a rough spring. And so far, this team has not yet lost 2 games in a row. I am damn proud of this team right now and one of our aces pitches tomorrow.
  20. Just tuned in, Schoeneweis looks really good today.
