  1. Weird takeaway, but in that video I found it kind of amusing to see a Budweiser logo on a cart. Sponsors, sponsors everywhere!
  2. I'm in favor of speeding up the game after it goes into extra innings. The only time it may lead to sac bunts is if the visitors don't score in the top half... which is usually what happens if the home team gets a leadoff runner on anyhow. I'll put it another way--the rule doesn't really bother me. And like I said before, I'm interested to see what the data shows from testing.
  3. http://deadspin.com/report-mlb-to-experiment-with-starting-extra-innings-w-1792152486 I kinda like this idea, at least for now. I'm curious to see how the experiment plays out.
  4. http://deadspin.com/feds-cardinals-hacker-probably-leaked-to-deadspin-as-r-1791778599 Sounds like this could be coming to a conclusion soon. And it doesn't sound good for the Cards. :yahoo:
  5. Love the fan reax after Scissor's double. Cub fans are going crazy, The Reds fan in front has his mouth open in disbelief.
  6. Only 50 days until the first full squad workout!!! Thank you, 2016 Chicago Cubs, for making this the shortest offseason ever!!! Hardly feels like we've had a break from baseball. First spring training game is just 57 days away!!! :clapping: :yahoo: :stickman:
  7. She's done something no one else in a Cardinals hat has done before: kept her car between the lines. Hat and car come complete with a .22 breathalyzer reading.
  8. He clearly knew it was gone off the bat. Of course we all did. That's a great photo. That is a great photo. The ump, catcher, Ricketts in the background all tracking the flight of the ball. Seeing as how everyone is still watching the flight of the ball, I think Dex knew it was gone by the sound of contact, which was probably similar to a cannon going off.
  9. I think tonight I'll go to bed with the sweet dream that Dexter is doing us one more favor by trolling the Cardinals with a physical before signing with another team. :lol:
  10. My son is working as an usher. He only started last year. But he texted to say it's easily the smallest crowd he's ever seen for a game. Trying to find the record for the fewest combined wins by week 13 opponents. The Bears and Niners have only three. That's gotta be close.
  11. I can't wait for the first team that's out of the playoff race and slips some HGH in a players drink to limit service time. Wish they would have made it so FAs who were suspended (I'm looking at you, Jhonny Peralta) could only sign for league minimum upon their return.
  12. I have a 'moment' at least once a day where it dawns on me that they won the world series and I get a brief rush of endorphins as I think about it, and then I carry on with my day with a smile on my face. i have a license plate frame on my car. every time i walk to it and see it i smile. This thread is my happy place! When little things get me down, the posts here melt them away! \:D/
  13. I love how for years they were like "it's too difficult logistically we have to reserve hotel rooms" or something and now they just randomly decide that it's doable now. Glad though. Also glad we could take advantage of the last year of the rule in a backwards way. The thing is...HFA in the WS never really mattered...at least as far as competition... But this just makes so much more common sense this way. I'm glad it's gone, but I'm a little surprised by this move. In the past, MLB at times has been slow to reverse course on policy enacted by a former commissioner while he's still alive. Even when he's dead, for that matter. Sort of a way of saving the guy from being embarrassed by the reversal, I guess.
  14. http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/wrigley-field-looks-totally-different-under-construction-chicago-403860216.html?_osource=SocialFlowFB_CHBrand Pretty wild. ETA: Sorry for the crappy link. My iPad won't let me create a hyperlink.
  15. I'll never get sick of hearing Pat Hughes say the Cubs won the World Series It's been three weeks. I'm still pumping my fists like it happened yesterday. And I have a feeling it's going to be like this for a long time!
  16. This really needs to be shared on Gateway Redbirds. You guys are awesome!
  17. Book a spot somewhere on the Spothero app. Don't think that is even necessary. Shouldn't be hard to find street parking mid week during the offseason. I was just there on Friday. Parking is not an issue. Lots of spots available on the street just a couple blocks away from the marquee.
  18. Thank you for this link. Sooooooo many things wrong with this take. But I loved reading it. First time I've laughed since Tuesday night.
  19. The thing that bugs me is that it's seemingly unprovoked. I don't follow his Twitter account, but when he trolls other fans, it's because they've trolled him first. It seems as though this came out of nowhere.
  20. No more games of "chicken" by the relievers. :bye: I'll never forget the first time I noticed it. It was a game against the Reds. I was watching with my oldest son. Travis Wood was sitting in a folding chair. A hard liner went down the third base line. Wood never flinched as the ball went right between his feet. We couldn't believe what we had seen. A week later, Chad Noble was interviewed about their game and it all became clear. Even though I'm sure fans down the right field line rode them pretty good, some guys on the visiting teams are going to miss those bullpens, too.
  21. My lovely wife, bless her heart, did not get upset with me after I purchased $183 worth of t-shirts this morning. Just making up for lost time.
  22. My wife got mad at me for bringing this up not 15 minutes after the last out. But it's true. Next year's squad is going to kick major ass!!!
  23. I just want to keep posting that I'm so happy!!! \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/
  24. This is the most appropriate way. We're gonna get a lot better at this in the next several years!!!
