    YES! I'm no longer older than every active Major Leaguer. My MLB dreams live for another day.

    Quoting myself from a few months back, but I was at the Cubs/Red Sox game Saturday night and turned the radio on again for my drive home. It is so jarring to have a short postgame wrap-up show that cuts right over to a syndicated national show in progress. I truly cannot believe there isn't a market for extended postgame radio coverage. Maybe not when the team is bad, but when you are covering a first place team in a huge market, how can you not at least stick a guy in a studio to take phone calls for an hour? Who is actually listening to these syndicated broadcasts? As soon as I hear one, I change the station immediately.

    With the loss of control and the contact the Red Sox are making, I would take the 5 scoreless from Horton and go to the pen.
  4. Irrelevant Dude
    And the players too. How they lined up along the railing for him to watch the ceremony was the ultimate sign of respect and one of the coolest things I have seen at an MLB ballpark.

    I'm still holding out hope that he is just going through a rough stretch of treatment and everyone in the Cubs organization wants to show their support while he fights though it. But it doesn't really feel that way...
  6. Irrelevant Dude
    Much worse than Harry for me, but definitely on a level comparable to Payton.
  7. Irrelevant Dude
    Just turned it on. What did I miss?
  8. Irrelevant Dude
    I guess we can look at it from a Brewers perspective to try to make ourselves feel a little better. They have to be thinking, "We're playing out of our minds and can't lose, but how can we still not catch the Cubs?"

    I will die on that hill with you. We can see them, they aren't ghosts! Everyone who has played a wiffle ball game in the backyard knows what a ghost runner is, and MLB's implementation isn't it.

    15 inning marathons were the best.

    For anyone who hasn't seen it, Sandberg posted an update this morning. I hope I'm wrong, but it has a bit of an ominous feel to it.

    I agree. The swing-off was fun for a once-in-a-decade thing at the All Star game, but it has no place in a regular season game. Then again, neither does the "ghost runner".
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    I particularly enjoyed the camera panning to the sky to build suspense for balls that clearly weren't hit well and ended up falling 50 feet short of the outfield wall.
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    Ok, that was kind of awesome.
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    And another now. Striking a batter out via challenge is really anti-climactic.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    Fairly non-eventful, but there was 1 ball changed to a strike that resulted in a strikeout. I'm still not a fan unless it's going to be used for every pitch.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    This time it counts
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Things are looking up for home field advantage in the World Series.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    Baseball in a speedway... seems like an awful viewing experience for the fans.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    Yeah, I can't disagree with that. I think if you were watching it in person, it would be a very cool event, but it is really difficult to follow the path of the balls on TV with the camera bouncing all over.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    The AL and NL jerseys the players wore last night were especially terrible.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    I thought the home run derby was fine last night. It seems like they tweak the format every year, but I'm not sure what they could really do better. I'm partial to the old school, head-to-head 9 inning format, but I doubt that would work in an ASG setting.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    Quote me in 5 years when I'm proven completely wrong, but that draft blows.
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    In a way, yes, but with the Cubs' lack of offensive depth, they NEED to be able to let up a bit. The way we're going, many of these guys are gonna be running on fumes by the end of the season.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    I miss the organ at Wrigley. Now it's just music blaring over the speakers like almost every other team.
