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 6 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 6 hours ago from Twitter for Android

In Quade We Trusty?

By bullpenbrian - August 8, 2011 - 1:01 am Leave a comment.

A tough 8-7 loss to the Reds on Sunday ended the Cubs seven-game winning streak. But the string of wins greatly improves Chicago’s chances of avoiding 100-losses.

That means little in the grand scheme of things, the Cubs still stink and remain one of baseball’s worst clubs, but it’s huge for Mike Quade.

Why?

Because it’s tough justifying the return of any manager whose team reaches triple digits in the loss column, and especially for a club expected to contend.
