    Saying Texas doesn't fit into any definition of the South, when it fits into nearly every definition of the South, is just plain cultural ignorance.

    The sheer stupidity of this assertion is what is getting you into trouble here.

    Finally John Isner advances to the round of 16 since he didn't have to play Kohlschreiber in the third round. His reward? Roger Federer in the fourth round.

    To be honest, I'd love to see the Nats overtake the Mets, because I have a burning hatred for the Mets that I can't really explain to anyone under the age of 30.

    oh good because i wasn't and haven't been aggressively ridiculing the idiots who were worried about blowing the lead over catching the pirates (or previously st louis) Hell, at this point I'm more concerned about the Nationals, as they should be way better than they are and play nobody else the rest of the year.
  6. bukie
    Well, and us. Every team in the NL Central is over .500 against the PIrates. The Pirates counter that by being 21-5 against the NL West.

    The Cubs are closer to the Pirates than they are to the Giants.

    About three years too late. I have never disliked a hire more than Beckman.

    If you can't turn on the inside pitch, you'll get busted over the inside part of the plate a lot if you stand too close. when they try that, you'll get hit a lot and also standing over the plate might infuence umpires on those calls (as i think has been talked about by len and jd with rizzo) Also true, but there is a downside, which is the point I was making. Also, since umpires are calling more low strikes and outside strikes, standing closer to the plate is about the only recourse hitters have to try to gain a competitive advantage.

    The North remembers.

    Statistical oddity I learned today: The Cubs, Cards and Pirates have all lost on the same day exactly twice this year.

    I think the amount of butthurt here is even more amazing: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=94236&st=1575 They're on 105 pages about the Cubs… JUST THIS SEASON'S TEAM! The hate/obsession is amazing. Note, obsessing about the White Sox fans obsessing about the Cubs isn't notably different.

    On the morning of July 29, the Cubs were 52-47. They are now 72-51.

    I said it in the positivity thread too, but... The Cubs are now closer to catching the Cards for the division than they are to losing the playoff spot they have.

    The Cubs are now closer to catching the Cards than they are to losing the WC spot.

    I don't think you understand how...anything...works.
  17. bukie
    The Pirates are 52-19 against teams outside their division this year.

    Is this a drought commentary or something else? More of a "The D-backs have played like a team that should already be 10 games over, while the Padres have played like a team that should be 10 games under, so though they're tied, the D-backs project to finish better."
  19. bukie
    Also, Cubs are 17-1 in their last 18 games against NL teams.
  20. bukie
    Unrelated to Cubs news, I'm secretly hoping for the 2nd AL Wild card to be a 6-way tie at 81-81.
  21. bukie
    There's a gulf of difference between the D-backs and Padres that goes beyond a game in the standings.
  22. bukie
    Heck, the D-backs are very much in the NL West race right now.
  23. bukie
    If the Cubs finish the year 2-38, they'll match last season's record.
  24. bukie
    Yes, it would make more sense if the Rookie of the Year were handed out 5 years after everyone's careers ended, to see if they ended up having a career deserving of a Rookie award.
  25. bukie
    Be nice if they actually won the CCL this year.
