Oh, because the O-H-I-O chants are so awesome. OHIO is a weak chant. If 1/3 of the shoe chanted THE, next third chanted OHIO, last third chanted STATE, it would be comical. MIZZOU sounds like a decent chant. ILLINI is pretty good too. We are just sounds silly to me. you expect people in Ohio Stadium to be able to measure thirds? I wish I could refute these statments, but sadly I cannot.

Ron, you do a great job of broadcasting the games. I've listened to a few since we moved down here. Embrace the future.

I don't think so, from my painful experience the ball broke a blood vessel in the area and it bled. It's like a bruise on your skin except the blood vessels in the area are much bigger and the bleeding doesn't stop as fast. As long as things weren't detached he will be able to reproduce. BTW the ultrasound in that area is a very weird sensation. They put this viscus jell on everything and then.... well you get the picture.
-
Yep. That's about the right color.
-
Base clogger!!!
-
Me neither. Especially from Smardjalphabet. He looked real good And that saftey better have shaved the rest of his head after the game or the Preists won't let him on campus. ND has standards to keep up after all.

Memphis Tigers up 7-0 on OleMiss. Take that Olemiss!
-
He took a ball to the balls, more than likely. It happend to me once and was the last time I caught a baseball game. My testies swelled up the size of a 16' softball and turned black.

Chan Galey is a terrible coach, Charlie Weiss is not. So close but yet so far. And that was a terrible call on the spearing, but it probably had nothing to do with the outcome of the game.
-
Agreed. Terrible call.
-
Probably because you weren't in the clubhouse. :wink: Phil has notoriously been perceived as someone who let the fame go to his head and treated others around him (non-players) as though they were beneath him. So when were you in a clubhouse? Bruce Miles is in the Clubhouse almost every game, and he said something to that effect.

Yes, Ohio State, Northwestern, Perdue, and Michigan didn't blow out their opponents by enough points. EDIT: I forgot to mention Iowa and Indiana too.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 9-2-2006
CubinNY replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
So who won the Minor League player of the year award? -
And people said that David Eckstein shouldn't play sports because he was so small, or not toolsy enough, blah, blah. If Theriot can play, like him play. You never know what Theriot can do, unless you give him the opportunity to play. So, yes, I like to see him be seriously considered to start in 2007. On the flipside of that thinking, that's pretty much how we got saddled with Cedeno. Your quotes can come back to haunt you. Cedeno needs a good hitting coach. When he was with Joshua he didn't hit like this. Moreover, he's been moved from SS to 2nd, then sat a number of games, then played at 2nd, then moved back to SS. Not smart moves by the Cubs with a rookie who has been struggling at the plate. But then again, they are the Cubs. More moreover, in Winter ball last year he didn't play an inning at 2nd even though the Cubs were supposedly hot and heavy after Furcal. Again, not a smart move by the Cubs, but then again they are the Cubs. BTW: Cedeno was rookie of the year in his league in Winter ball. Ronnie has hit very poorly and has showed very little plate discipline. He's never had much, but at least he use to be able to pick a pitch to hit.

My bet would be someone pitching in the NL or Felix Hernandez.
-
You know who you are. IMO, the jury is STILL out on Hill. He just hasn't pitched enough yet. But as one of the people who didn't say he was going to be great, that it was too early to judge him, and that is minor league numbers indicated he could be pretty good, I am real happy he is doing well. You won't hear any "eat crow's" or "I told you so's" from me though.

Go Georgia Tech! Go Memphis Tigers. Where are you OleMiss!? Olemiss is going down.

More "thoughts" from Sweatband McToothpick
CubinNY replied to Larry Horse's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Well, I can agree with Dusty on this one. Bruce Miles is the only beat reporter of the Cubs to focus more on the game than on the personalities who play the game. I don't even bother reading the Suntimes or Tribune/chicagospors.com any longer. Sullivan should have been let go a long time ago and Kiley was already fired. I miss the days when Teddy Greenstein was the beat reporter for the Trib. I guess he did his job too well or something. -
Victor Diaz to Texas
CubinNY replied to cheapseats's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I tottally agree. He's having a bad year this year, but he is exactly like the player Hendry looks for but rarely gets. He can play a lot of positions and he can actually hit. -
The Djaxx will be the Cubs AA affiliate next year? I am hoping they will be, but judging by the crowd size at the game I went to I highly doubt it.
-
Because he is a bad baseball player and if Aramis leaves he can't do much more harm. Sarasm

Bruce's take on Dusty era: It’s been a hoot
CubinNY replied to goonys evil twin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I wouldn't be one bit shocked if Brenly got the job. I would be royally pissed, but not shocked. However, I don't see the manager mattering much as long as Hendry consistently builds weak to medicore teams. He may have been a good scout and perhaps a good farm director, but he is not a good GM. And Hughes makes me want to vomit. A team cannot win with a bench full of Freddy Bynums, a pitching staff full of ? and two guys who can drive in 100 runs. -
I remember when Dusty was hired and I was listening to ESPN radio. They had a sportswriter on from SF, a city that supposed loved Baker. He said much the same thing except he was more nice with his language. He said Dusty was very thin skinned and as long as everything goes well Dusty will be ok. He went on to say that Dusty has a hard time taking responsiblity, but he thought Dusty would do well in Chicago unless things went bad quickly. At the time I was excited to get Baker. Shows how much I knew.

I like Murton quite a bit, I hope he remains with the Cubs. Having said that, is he really the type of player that would haunt the Cubs for a long time? If so, I haven't seen it. I think he will be a sold ML player, but nothing near a superstar. Carlos Lee isn't a superstar either, but he will be paid like one. I'll take a solid player at the MLB minimum. Ditto. Lee will be spactacularly overpaid for the remainder of his career and he is exiting his prime years. He's no hustler either. Nor is he scrappy. And he is slow. And he is not a good fielder. I don't know why JH would want him, except for the fact that he played for the WS and use to pound Cub pitching. When he's with the Cubs he won't be facing Cub pitching.

mmmm, cabbage.
