My patience is running out, and there seems to be more excuses than Hawks have taken penalties. Make a play. Score a goal. Win a game. about 12 hours ago from Twitter for Android
It'd be nice if the Hawks could generate the scoring chances Detroit does on their penalty kill, you know, while on the PP and all. about 13 hours ago from Twitter for Android

Cubs’ Pen Needs Andrew Cashner

By bullpenbrian - March 3, 2010 - 2:23 am Leave a comment.

Lou says the bullpen is an open competition this spring, which is a bit unusual.

Most clubs reserve bullpen spots for veterans only, but I like the competition.

Not only will spring games be more meaningful, but it appears the Cubs are committed to taking the best arms north for Opening Day–regardless of seniority.

One odds on favorite to make the staff is the Cubs’ first-round pick from 2008, right-hander Andrew Cashner–a Jonathan Papelbon like talent.
