    Nice ninja edit there. And answer the question at hand. Are you practicing for a future career in politics by not answering anything asked of you? Your silence is deafening.

    Oh, you mean when I said they were going to lose? And they DID? And you were too much of a [expletive] to actually put your money where your mouth was, so to speak, and put a wager on it? If I was so wrong to predict a loss in the 2nd inning and you were so confident they were going to win, why didn't you take me up on that ban bet? Why's that? Because you knew I was right? Thought so. And you were insane far before you ever heard of NSBB.

    Don't get so confident.... soft-tossing lefties have done terrible things to us in the past few years.

    More like your hypocrisy. I recall you saying in the NCAA Expanding thread about how you don't understand how people can get so worked up over things that don't personally affect their lives, and yet here you are getting all upset over something that has no affect whatsoever in your personal life.

    I agree with you that examples weren't good but in general baseball has resisted technological advances. like what? baseball upgrades technology all the time in the name of better functionality. If this thing is useful, you think a team will drop $15 mil on a first round draft pick but balk at $2,000 or whatever that this costs? It was a stupid thing to say. i hate when people act like they have intimate knowledge of something when they're just spitting things off the top of their heads to appear like an aficionado. imb is funny when he gets all butthurt about something.

    Some people get bored with sex at home and like the adrenaline from the risk of getting caught in public. Do you speak from experience?

    dammit!

    The team in general is playing longball thus far. 70% of our runs have come via homers. It would be nice to see an inning or two of sustained offensive output. Damn rally killing home runs. Home runs can be all or nothing. If you rely solely on the home run for your offensive output, you can have long stretches of offensive futility. I would like to see an ability to string a bunch of hits together and score runs that way, although I'll never say no to the longball. Though they could just be the '05 White Sox. Our pitching isn't anywhere near that good.

    What example did you have in mind when you posted this? Most technology things of this type take awhile to perfect which I am sure you are well aware of. Add to that the general resistance a sport like baseball has to major revolutionary things and it will probably take longer than it should to become commonplace. 5-10 years is probably too long but a year or two I would say it pretty likely. And, oh, you know.... cell phones, flat panel TV's, microwaves, etc... all technology was was pretty much a novelty and not widely available when first invented, but several years later became commonplace. I await your witty retort, imb. Inquiring minds need to know just what cutting edge insult you'll come up with!

    Let's take a Leake!

    Winning is fun. I have recorded my first game thread win in more than 22 months. The Cubs had a solid start from Z and a good come-from-behind win, capped by Baker's 8th inning tiebreaking HR. The Cubs send former Pirate Tom Gorzelanny to the mound http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m100/fishmaster17/6449.jpg Gorzelanny is making his 2010 debut He opposes Cincinnati hurler Mike Leake. http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m100/fishmaster17/30465.jpg Leake is making his Major League debut, and is the first pitcher to skip the minors completely since Darren Driefort back in 1994. He was drafted 8th overall in the 2009 draft out of Arizona State. Let's go Cubs! Let's start our first winning streak of 2010! And because it worked so well last time, here again is the picture of a gorilla giving the finger.

    There were a bunch of hard hit balls that went right to Cubs fielders, but Silva kept in the zone, worked fast, and didn't walk anyone. He looked halfway decent. He might have left because of an injury, but no one's quite sure. He settled in as the game went on. All the really good defensive plays were in the first few innings. He was doing pretty well his last 2-3 innings or so.
  14. erik316wttn
    I didn't disagree, I'm just saying had I posted that you and a lot of other people likely would have jumped on me for it. All I'm saying is don't be a hypocrite. Its not hard.
  15. erik316wttn
    Wow. And you get on me for being negative.

    New game thread is up.

    Today, our 1-3 Cobs take on our oldest rival, the Cincinnati Reds (or Sulley's 2nd favorite team. Dirty Commie) Anyway, the Cubs send this guy, who looks to improve on his horrendous Opening Day start http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m100/fishmaster17/Z-1.jpg 0-1, 54.00 ERA, 6.00 WHIP He is opposed by one of the goofiest looking MF'ers in the game today, Aaron Harang http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m100/fishmaster17/Harang.jpg 0-1, 5.40 ERA, 1.40 WHIP Harang used to be an ace, but he's been Dustyed And, for no reason, here's a picture of a Gorilla giving the finger Win, idiots. At least Marshall should be available out of the pen. His arm is going to fall off at the end of the year, I think.

    Or the lack thereof. Duke photos yesterday: Cubs win Duke photos deleted today: Cubs lose I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin....

    No, just [expletive] Caridad.
  20. erik316wttn

    Game 6?
  22. erik316wttn
    How many outs?
  23. erik316wttn
    What happened?
  24. erik316wttn
    Of course he did. He's one of the worst umpires in the game and seems to have it out for us. How did Bucknor cost us? He's at 3B. The only call he made against the Cubs' was Colvin's check swing strike. I was taking Sulley's word for it. I don't have the radio on because the wife has a headache, and she's watching some stupid Ghost Hunter show on TV.
