  1. those jerseys are hideous. they look like clothing you would buy at value city.
  2. Are you [expletive] kidding me? That was fantastic. damn straight.
  3. so sports illustrated had its first ever HACKATHON challenge over the weekend in NYC and my friend's team won the inaugural event. the team he was a part of spent 24 hours programming and analyzing sports statistics with the goal of creating a "clutch rating" for athletes: http://www.si.com/more-sports/2015/05/19/sports-illustrated-hackathon-clutch-sports-statistics they completed one for football: http://clutchratings.com/ a little more about what they created: http://challengepost.com/software/clutch-ratings i asked him if they're working on one for baseball and he said yes. i'm sure all the cardinals players will be at the top of the list.
  4. the idea of rizzo possibly being a 30/30 guy...
  5. the best place for handmade noodles and dumplings in NYC chinatown: http://www.yelp.com/biz/lam-zhou-handmade-noodle-new-york-2 they used to sell 12 dumplings (fried or boiled) for $3. 10 for $3.50 these days, but my god... JUST HOOK IT TO MY VEINS!
  6. shark got into it with someone, too. aside: forgot that geovany soto is on the white sox these days.
  7. watching this on mlb.tv and i have no idea what the hell happened. it was just a one hopper up the middle and ventura went apeshit.
  8. you mean jose veras?
  9. the livejournal entries from the 2004 cubs season are great for a laugh.
  10. espn.com. back in those days, you had davemason and andytheclown stirring [expletive] left and right.
  11. agreed. that's a whole other level of stupidity.
  12. hundley and grace's douchebag tendencies aren't even a drop in the bucket compared to domestic abuse and being a sexual predator. i'll take slumpbusting and being in a drunken stupor/going missing in action for a week over what hall and bradley have done with themselves.
  13. http://media.giphy.com/media/Ekjl3noZUBGxy/giphy.gif
  14. I originally planned to go to a Chicago sports bar in Bay Ridge, but the girlfriend is a bit under the weather. I'll be making burgers and fries at our apartment instead and watching the game on either the ESPN3 app or MLB.TV.
  15. Didn't our own 2005 Cubs have some terrible injuries? Im thinking Nomar's hammy, Aramis was hurt at stretches, Sammy sneezed or something, Clement got line drived in the head and then, of course, the famous DL adventures of Prior and Woody... and then close to all this, didn't DLee hurt his wrist? Much of this could've happened over multiple years, but for some reason, 2005 sticks in my head as when it all happened. derrek lee broke his wrist in 2006. he was killing it in 2005 (won the batting title and hit 46 home runs). sammy's sneeze was in 2004. you could group prior and wood being on the dl in 2004, as well. clement was hit in the head with a line drive during his stint in boston after he left the cubs. nomar tore his groin in 2005 which gave us this doozy of a picture: http://cache.boston.com/images/bostondirtdogs//Headline_Archives/4.20_nomar_bdd.jpg NEVER FORGET! :)
  16. i cancelled my mlb audio subscription this year and forgot to cancel the mlbtv option. i was notified via paypal on friday evening that mlb advanced media debited my account. i was 5 beers in at the bar so i didn't give that much of a [expletive].
  17. that schwarber pic is beautiful! the bat being too big to fit into the picture frame plus his face almost out of frame makes it perfect.
  18. just found this article from last august: http://www.stlsportspage.com/CARDSBASEBALL/tabid/91/entryid/1908/whatever-happened-to-wendell-kim-the-sad-story.aspx rough way to go out.
  19. would've made more sense if it was brickhouse opening the pearly gates instead of harry.
  20. have you forgotten about rizzo's mental lapses in the field? castro's not the only one to do that. if anything, russell would be the backup plan if baez flames out. move castro to second and keep russell at shortshop.
  21. The first two would be "natural causes." Is this showing up anywhere besides Twitter? I hope it's not actual news. cnn noted it in their article: http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/23/us/ernie-banks-obit/
  22. "You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace." mr. cub. :(
  23. is addison russell expected to be called up this year? i know the a's had him on the fast track before he tore his hamstring last april, but he's only 20 and i'm guessing the cubs have him on the same "master all minor league levels" before progressing to the big leagues as they did with bryant and baez.
