  1. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/breaking/chi-chicago-cubs-2014-regular-season-schedule-20130910,0,2948741.story When did MLB start scheduling interleague home-and-home series outside of geographic rivalries?
  2. If you bought pearl jam tickets through the season ticker holder presale, the fine print said that tickets purchased through the presale could not be resold and you would risk action against your account if caught selling them. Maybe they don't strictly enforce that policy, but i wasn't willing to take the risk.
  3. How did you pull that off? I thought those tickets were not for resale?
  4. Baez K's to end the game. Birmingham wins 7-4 and eliminates Tennessee from the playoffs.
  5. isn't it 6-4? Yes, but maybe he was thinking ahead to the 7th.
  6. Victory Auto Wreckers better start saving their money if they think they are going to be able to afford advertising at that rate.
  7. Is it just my computer or does it sound like the Tennessee play-by-play guy on MiLB.TV swallowed his microphone?
  8. Not cool, but I guess this reinforces the Theo/Jed "draft a position player at the top of the draft" strategy.
  9. Is what was said about almost every steroid user prior to finding out they were on steroids. Actually it's not. Plenty of users didn't get big and muscular, not every PED user turns into a 'roid monster. For every Bonds or McGwire, there are many more guys who got busted and didn't "look" like they were juiced. It may be comforting to think that PED users are somehow visually identifiable, but the truth is that there's no way to tell without a test (and no doubt Puig has been tested multiple times by now). I agree, and I guess I didn't word my statement correctly. Not every steroid user is a big muscle-bound freak, but for those that ARE huge we typically hear the suggestion that they are just big, athletic guys up until the point that we find out there was something else involved.
  10. Is what was said about almost every steroid user prior to finding out they were on steroids.
  11. While both of those statements are surely true, being tested and getting caught are two completely different things.
  12. Am I wrong to be suspicious of a guy who is putting up outstanding numbers and looks like this? http://www.fantasybaseballcrackerjacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Puig.jpg Every time I see him play, I just can't help but think that he might be getting a little injectable (or otherwise) assistance.
  13. Whichever choice has the most dollar signs is the one ESPN will choose, integrity be damned.
  14. He should be sure to put that on his resume.
  15. He was on the Rangers' 40-man roster, so they can't just add him as a PTBNL at any time. I don't know how it works procedurally though, if they just let other teams know that this is a PTBNL so that he doesn't get claimed by anyone else before it gets to the Cubs.
  16. Only a single? He is broken!!!
  17. And that team is the Rays. I still can't comprehend this whole trade scenario.
  18. Umm.... Ok??? Is Jerry Angelo running the Nationals?
  19. That is what I'm thinking. Washington is already a long shot to make the playoffs. In the event they don't make up significant ground by the end of the month, it doesn't hurt to keep their trade options open by getting DeJesus through waivers.
  20. Why not just even out the leagues and eliminate interleague play altogether? For me personally, the novelty has worn off. Either go with a completely balanced scheduled across both leagues or go back to the traditional schedule with no interleague play.
  21. I assume that means Sandberg will be the new Phillies manager.
