    Can somebody ban this turd already?
  2. mul21
    Holy [expletive] that barely snuck in.

    This has been a pretty terribly managed game by Fox.
  4. mul21
    Greg Gumbel just almost called it Wrigley Field. You can tell where his brain is.

    Gould bails their asses out.

    And what a crap play call on 3rd at that FG range.
  7. mul21
    What a joke of a call on Royal.
  8. mul21
    That was an absolutely terrific throw by Jay. Nice hesitation to avoid the guy who read it and didn't rush.

    I think they're terrified of a return TD. Wilson looking capable today.

    These announcers are so bad. Already referred to the injured center as Claussen and then just completely misidentified the 2 defenders who stuck with Miller on the TD pass to Bennett. YES!

    Jesus, that was awful. Two guys out there and they both leave their jocks on the field.
  12. mul21
    They haven't turned it over yet today?
  13. mul21
    I hope they see the same little bobble that I do while that right foot is still on the ground.

    Yep, pretty epic choke job by Nebraska. Lost a guy on a deep pattern to let Illinois into the red zone and then committed like 3 PI penalties when UI was inside the 10 trying to get the winning TD.

    Hell of a pick by Rizzo on a tough hop.
  16. mul21
    At least that was a pretty nasty pitch he struck out on.
  17. mul21
    There was an article the other day about how he's changed up his mix of pitches quite a bit. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-cubs-have-a-3-starter/

    Man, if that article the other day about Hendricks' altering his approach a bit is true and these are real improvements, I'm hugely in favor of him starting Game 2 of the DS assuming we get there.

    Ok, you jerk, mine is updated. If you don't like, I'll fight you.

    Fun question. I think that's the winner, the only one I can think of that might be close is West Virginia. Arkansas would be high on my list too, but my opinion of Mike Anderson is probably much different than the average. Yeah, Anderson ended things pretty poorly at Mizzou, but I don't think he's nearly the awful human being either of the Louisville coaches are.

    Well, they've done a hell of a job building a team for that park with 3 guys who are essentially CFs in their OF. Also, they lost out on a HR from Aramis early in the game that he hit to the deepest part of the park for an out.

    The Brewers' catcher's last name is Ashley and his wife's first name is also Ashley. Gotta love Deshaies.
  23. mul21
    That was a ridiculous throw by Polanco to get the guy because he actually ran pretty hard down the line.

    mul21 replied to sontensei's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    That's a rather silly exaggeration of what I've said. Some peripherals are proven to be predictive, others aren't. Like, for example... Line drive percentage. It's notoriously fickle and not particularly predictive except over insanely long samples (multiple years). An extreme good LD% and a high BABIP are measuring the *same luck*. If you see his AAA performance as an indication he's ready to be the starting 2b, fine. I think that's defensible. I think you're greatly misconstruing what most are saying here. No one (as far as I can see) is taking great stock in his ML numbers this year, but taking those into consideration along with the swing and approach changes that resulted in improved K and BB numbers at AAA over a larger sample size gives everyone a lot more hope than anybody could have hoped for after the disaster his call up last season was.

    Crazier ways to win a game have happened today. Not crazy at all, pathetic that a B1G team had to hang on for dear life like that against MTSU. Also, Utah is giving it to Oregon. Damn.
