  1. You're fired. I'll have to counter with my oddly lucky Billy Goat Tavern t-shirt and #16 Alternate Blue jersey (no name) combo. I must admit that I too contributed to the loss yesterday as I did something I shouldn't have done (I will not thrill nor bore you with the details). Suffice it to say, I have it on good authority that it will not carry over for more than the one game as is evidenced by the latest MountOlympusSecretWebCam.com pic shows: http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/9157/theftoffirechristiangrifd4.jpg Shot at 2007-07-18 Go get 'em, Cubs! p.s. Could a Photoshop guru put a Cubs hat on Prometheus for me please? Thanks.
  2. as long as it hasn't tasted NSBB's collective taint Hey Derwood, look behind you...down there on the ground...that's the line and you just crossed it.
  3. A third option in this case would be too easy. No one is claiming she is the hottest woman on the planet. But in total, is she more on the hot side or more on the not side? There are plenty of women who could be classified as hotter but claims were made that she was unattractive. That is simply silly.
  4. Hot or not? Submit pictures (only ones you would show to your mother) if you wish to support your vote. *To the women on the board and anyone else who doesn't like this poll, I am sorry you have to be witness to this gruesome display of the baser side of the men here present but there were claims being made about Ms. Finch in another thread that must be settled on the field of battle. By empirically evaluating her looks we are making no judgments about her value as a person or her accomplishments as an athlete. I regret that this poll may offend some. I trust that the men participating will be able to do so in a respectful manner that honors the values this board holds dear.
  5. I e-mailed David Kaplan to get confirmation on what he said/meant. I'll let you know what I hear from him directly.
  6. I will only report what I heard but here it is. On Sports Central sometime last week (I'm not sure when) I thought I heard David Kaplan (WGN Radio sports guy and huge Cubs fan) answer a question about when to expect Prior back with something like "Because of his contract status, Mark has thrown his last pitch for the Cubs." I don't know what he meant or if I heard it right but that was the gist. *Free with this report is http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/729/43823ix2.jpg
  7. http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/9157/theftoffirechristiangrifd4.jpg While the gods sleep, the Cubs steal a win. SHHHHHHHHH! Keep it up guys!
  8. http://img452.imageshack.us/img452/5893/zeusud1.gif "Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....hmm?"
  9. I like that. Novelty value. is it a bobble head or a squeezy toy? That's what she said!
  10. let's say these sorts of things after the cubs win the game. http://img452.imageshack.us/img452/5893/zeusud1.gif "Don't wake me. I'll break your heart. Especially on Friday the 13th. That was your one "Tempt the Gods" freebie."
  11. This is Luhnow's third year. His first was the Rasmus/Anderson/Garcia draft (our top three prospects). I liked your old avatar much better. Feel free to use it. WOLF!!!! WTH?!?!? Please bring her back. Please. PLEASE!!!
  12. Gee folks, I didn't mean to start something here. My point was that all trades and decisions have risk and can be interpreted critically.
  13. Hendry gets killed for buying high, for not spending enough, for signing cr*p hoping to catch lightning in a bottle, for trading away future superstars for junk, for hanging on to guys too long, for letting prospects rot, for pushing thier development too fast... If Hendry has done it, he gets killed for it, not always for nothing.
  14. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the magic Game Tread on the magic day of 07/08/07!

  17. Here comes the hammer!!! http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/9471/gallagherbj4.jpg Shot at 2007-06-08
  18. I wish search was working as I've been through this too many times... The runs per game was about the same before and after Lofton. the distribution of runs was about the same. The difference in 2003 was that Prior & Wood had absolutely unreal second halves to fuel the push. yeah... Prior and Wood were successful because they had Lofton in the clubhouse though! http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/2576/1145911682571vf3.jpg Shot at 2007-05-04
  19. I wish search was working as I've been through this too many times... The runs per game was about the same before and after Lofton. the distribution of runs was about the same. The difference in 2003 was that Prior & Wood had absolutely unreal second halves to fuel the push. That's what I remember. Thanks Tim.
  20. I seem to remember the Kenny Lofton factor in '03 being debunked early in the '04 campaign or before. Anyone else remember the logic of this?
  21. This has got to best the greatest non-sequitor ever. I have no idea what you are talking about.
  22. Any insight from our resident weather guru about what to expect for the next two series?
