  1. Co-worker said it is the craziest thing he's seen. I laughed. Nothing will ever beat Reggie Miller getting those 9 points to beat the Knicks. That was so memorable you forgot it was 8 points.
  2. I think it'd be kind of cool if they made opening day Cubs-Cards an afternoon double header, if that were possible.
  3. Illinois is so out of healthy players they're suiting up the team manager for this weekend's game.
  4. Win in Dallas against a team that has been absolutely on fire since the Rondo trade, and it wasn't even due to an off Nowitzki night.
  5. Looks like Rob Neyer isn't going to miss Selig very much... http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/just-a-bit-outside/story/commissioner-bud-selig-interview-history-legacy-retirement-012315
  6. http://www.northsidebaseball.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=54498&p=2201849#p2201849 Ha! Harold Reynolds was right about Trout and Meph wasn't. The next page involves a bunch more posters making fun of Trout. Even more delicious. Hindsight is fun. From what I was reading, they were making fun of the broadcast for using the same adjectives to describe every draftee. They were making fun of the stuff Reynolds was saying about Trout, not of Trout. There were also several pages of posters hoping someone else would draft Brett Jackson to save the Cubs FO from themselves.
  7. Yeah, that's great. LED and Solar Energy should be everywhere. Have you seen this: That may sound like a cool idea, but it's so unfeasible it should come with a laugh track.
  8. What would Walt Weiss be doing at Halas Hall?
  9. Interestingly enough, the Cubs are currently structured in a way where Bryant could slide in at 3B or LF and isn't really taking a job from anyone.
  10. Castro moves him and his family to Arizona because the DR isn't safe enough: http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/12182605/starlin-castro-chicago-cubs-moving-family-arizona-being-gunfire-incidents-dominican-republic Fans continue to bash him for no reason, film at 11.
  11. http://www.baseball-reference.com/games/standings.cgi?date=2014-07-13 33-35, 9th in NL, with a ton of Pyth luck. From the date of the Samardzija-Hammel trade (they were 38-46 with a .500 Pythagorean %), the Cubs went 35-43 with a Pythagorean % of .372, worst in baseball.
  12. http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20150116/BLOGS04/150119847/cubs-select-daktronics-for-wrigley-video-boards
  13. @BruceMiles2112 Reports on further #Cubs signings to avoid arb: Arrieta $3.63 million; Wood $5.685m; Valbuena $4.2m @BruceMiles2112 #Cubs get all arb-eligibles signed but Pedro Strop. He and Cubs will file figures later.
  14. Jeff Sullivan ‏@based_ball Sogard: this clubhouse ain't big enough for the two of us Clippard: /glares Sogard: /glares Melvin: yes it is Melvin: it's a big clubhouse
  15. @BruceMiles2112 Remaining #Cubs arb-eligibles are: Wood, Valbuena, Strop, Coghlan, Arrieta and Castillo.
  16. Who the hell is that? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=%40theRealDubi22
  17. His floor is the same as my NFL quarterback floor....not being an NFL quarterback.
  18. Illini with zero live-ball turnovers tonight.
  19. Arizona GM Dave Stewart, on James Shields: "I think James is a throwback guy by the way he goes about his business and the innings he pitches," Stewart said. "I think the fact that Tony (La Russa) is here and that we have more baseball people – he probably sees us as a true baseball team vs. some of the other teams out here that are geared more toward analytics and those type of things. "Sometimes, there are concessions the player will make to be here. It's the case that he likes what we're doing with our organization from our end, all we can hope is that there will be concessions enough that he can be here."
  20. That picture clearly shows him going to the ground, which means it's irrelevant whether he looks like he has it there, he has to maintain possession through to the ground.
  21. Is there anyone left out there that doesn't understand Skip Bayless is an inciteful buffoon?
  22. I still don't understand the whole blind bid thing with Jermaine Jones last summer.
  23. Far less Rice hero-ball down the stretch.
  24. Hey that's great, they can be good in the regular season and then get run in the playoffs early again. Also, enough with this game shape nonsense. If it takes you half a season of games to get in "game shape", maybe you just aren't very good. The guy has had 3 years out of the game (save about 2 weeks) and the team is cruising with him in the lineup. He's currently got about a league average PER despite basically being unable to hit anything the past week of games, and even with his personal offensive struggles the team's offense is top 5 in the league with him in the lineup. So he's not hurting anything but your sense of logic by being in there and doing what he's doing, despite tonight's unwatchable offensive display in the first half.
  25. Yeah, he's really making the Bulls struggle while he works his way into regular game shape. It's almost as if they haven't won 13 of 15.
