All they have to do is go 52-33, for a .612 W%, the rest of the season to finish at .500. That's what, like 4 5-game win streaks and .500 with the rest, right?

Looks like the season ticket holders are starting to jump
swordsman replied to bleedcubbieblue's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Option A: Continue you silly little protest. See no games, eat the money. Option B: Sell the seats, use the seats, give me the seats (whatever) By choosing A, sounds like you're the one who knows how to "piss away money" better than anyone in the Cub front office. All I can control is whether there is an arse in the seat I bought or not. I can't get the $$ back from the Cubs so I can't hurt them that way. All I can do is: A: Keep them from making $$ on beer and hotdogs and stuff and B: Embarass them with empty seats I can only control the 4 seats I have. By leaving them empty, some guy from a few rows back will fill them. If I can get a visable protest message in it's place, at least someone will see it (until either the Cubs or a guy from a few rows back takes it down.) All I can do is all I can do. You can do option B um...my B or your B? I know, who cares. -

I'm a season ticket holder (one of four sharing a nights and weekends package). I already paid my money, the Cubs have it and have apparently pissed it away on strippers and beer. I have decided two things. First, when the club shows up to play, I'll show up to watch. They haven't been showing up to play so I ain't showin' up to watch. Second, my seats will stay empty in protest. If I had the time, I would go down with a sign that says "I'll show up to watch when the team shows up to play!" and two helium balloons. I'd string the sign up between the balloons and have it span the 4 seats I have and then I'd leave. Gotta think that'd get on TV. If anyone is going to tonights game and wants to do this for me, PM me and I'll give you the seat location. -
I don't know the origins, but I'm guessing it comes out of the overly romanticized writings about the sport back in the day, when most fans couldn't watch the games, or even listen to them, instead they relied on a sportswriter to spin the tale. A guy who got a big hit at a big time would be considered clutch, or whatever similar word they used, while somebody who came up short was a choker. There wasn't much statistical analysis going on, instead they just wrote what sounded better. Explaining that a .300 hitter with a .400 OBP still makes an out 60% of the time, so it's not very reasonable to hate him for coming up short in a big moment wasn't nearly as interesting as saying some guy had all the skills but not the intestinal fortitude to get the hit when it mattered most. Is it possible then that there is such an attribute as choke (someone who's batting average or OBP or SLG goes down in important situations) but not really something like being clutch? I could see that an important situation could get a hitter out of their rhythm more than it could get one into it.
