    Cubs Baseball: It's contagious! Sorry. "CUBS SPRING TRAINING FEVER .... CATCH IT!" I think I out-poor-commented you. Burn.

    I'll take 6/10

    Thanks, Bruce! Anyone else getting the Rich Hill flu bug so far? Are you wearing a towel around your face when you're around Hill's locker?

    I heard the Mariners announcer talk about this a little before they got back to their non-baseball chit-chat show :stone: Didn't they take steps last year to point out to Wood some of these mechanical issues he has? Or have we just given up on the notion that he could change his delivery and possibly lessen the risk of further injury?

    Wood 1st pitch at 95mph

    I see Bruce!!!! Bruce, sticking your tongue out at Lou? That's no way to start a good professional relationship. By the way, that angle has you dwarfing Paul Sullivan.

    The Czech throws a 1-2-3 inning in his ST debut. I'm hoping all the things they're saying about Samardzjia become true, and he becomes a legit option in 09.

    There's no doubt about it. Murton is going to have a great year. Murton for certain!

    By the reports coming out of camp Miller has lost quite a bit off his once powerful fastball. Sounds like he's throwing more smoke than gas to the tune of mid-80's fastball at best. Hopefully he's got enough in his delivery and is locating his pitches to keep the hitters guessing. All in all, he's still a bargain in this market. Hopefully he becomes a better pitcher for it. Cross your fingers for a better radio feed, too. Today's game was horrible.

    GOOZ is in.

    Defense is overrated. so are pitching and offense Truffle: Off topic, have you seen this video of Josie: http://www.vidmax.com/index.php/videos/view/736 ... really hesitant to say anything about that. but nice work. nice. work.

    Anyone's Gameday Audio not working? nevermind ... I can hear Pat ... and he sounds glorious! Frank the Tank
  15. BRASKYS SCOTCH
    ... I think we're all a little gunshy when posting an ERA like that. Way to take one for the team.
  16. BRASKYS SCOTCH
    Yep. Gameday Audio or no soup for you. I'm picturing that Simpsons episode where Mark Mcguire emerges at the end of the episode and gives the MLB legal eagle 'no game may be replayed, etc. ...' speech after Bart shot down an MLB surveillance satellite. ... "Now who wants to see me hit some dingers?!"

    ... "Neifi saved us." This defines the Dusty Baker era on several levels. Feel free to nod.

    Ever feel like calling your wife your interim wife? :lol: Not quite there yet, but to honestly answer your question in the foreseeable future: yes. Take care out there, bub.
  19. BRASKYS SCOTCH
    I wish I would have applied the "interim" labeling method to some of the women with whom I had relationships in the past.

    Well, I don't think Santo is the greatest. Schmidt has that title by a long way. But, I could easily place Santo in the top five and maybe top four. Top three seems like a stretch. Based on the numbers, I'd probably go Schmidt, Brett, Matthews, Boggs, and then Santo. Some might argue that Robinson's defense places him right above Santo. Add to that the fact that Santo did this with Diabetes. He might have been right there with Schmidt if he hadnt had to battle that too. While that may be true, I don't think that really should be accounted for. Many players have physical ailments or injuries or what not that affect them. While I think that is a testament to his strength and courage and surely makes him an admirable person, I prefer the HOF to be based on what they accomplished on its on merits. That being said, Santo belongs based on those things alone. If there is one thing to consider with Santo's diabetes it is his record as NL 3B Leader in consecutive games (364) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Santo If you really want to read the statistics, check out this Bill James piece on why Santo should be in the Hall. It's absolutely maddening that he is not in by now. http:// http://mvn.com/mlb-cubs/2007/01/16/why-ron-santo-belongs-in-the-hall-of-fame-part-1/[/url]

    None. Same results as the last 2 times since vets' committee's inception.
  22. BRASKYS SCOTCH
    On espn.com they have the ESPN Motion clips, one of which has Tim Kurkjian criticizing the absence of Santo in light of today's voting results and acknowledges the veterans' resistance to expand their exclusivity to deserving candidates. Good to hear. Still frustrating as hell.

    ... I bent my wookie.
  24. BRASKYS SCOTCH
    Mac, Jurko and Harry played a soundbite from a brief interview Bruce Levine held with a member of the Hall of Fame board (Jane something) and Joe Morgan. Levine kept calling out Morgan and saying that perhaps the players on the veterans' committee aren't intelligent enough to vote in the right players. Hopefully they make it available on espn1000's website.

    No pictures today or even photo day pics available yet? Also, I posted this in spring training discussions under Game Threads but was hoping to field a response. Any thoughts are appreciated. "Anybody ever buy into the MLB tv option as opposed to Gameday Audio? My Gameday Audio renews yearly, but I'm contemplating switching to the MLB tv package. Anyone know if they use local telecasts, i.e., are Len and Bob commentating similarly to Pat and Ron's broadcasts on Gameday? Thanks!"
