    His face is so red. He looks like he's drunk and about to crack up

    We were really giving it to Kemp last night but some guy says "HEY KEMP! Sportscenter update! [makes dah dah dah, dah dah dah sportscenter noise] you just grounded out!"

    Wood has also been subpar on the road. I don't have a gamelog on me right now, but that could explain some of the close road losses. 1 or 2?

    I'm between the 4.2 and the high vertical. I really want to be able to dunk with authority. Also, I think running long distance quickly would be cool... finishing a marathon in 2:30 or something would be awesome.

    That was hilarious

    The whole article has some signs for hope: http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-080527-alfonso-soriano-defense-chicago-cubs,1,204570.story

    I wouldn't call Brenly's comments over the line, but he was getting a little bit annoying. The guy lost a ball in the sun and it was frustrating but he didn't need to use that event as an opportunity to unload on Soriano's defensive career. I just hope this doesn't become something big

    I think we need Beasley more

    Coda is still by far the worst album but to be fair, it does have a couple good songs on it.

    I was thinking about IR the other day and was wondering if there would be a penalty for an upheld call, like there is in the NFL. What would it be? An out? A strike? I don't really think you can penalize there. I'd be in favor of 2 calls per game per team, or every call coming at the discretion of the replay official. There would be no penalty in baseball, but the main reason you lose a timeout in football is to prevent the abuse of coaches intentionally throwing the challenge flag on ridiculous plays just to give their defense a break, or just to call an offensive play without a timeout. In baseball, there are many fewer advantages that stalling can get you. and since there are other legal ways to stall, there won't be much advantage gained by the team issuing the challenge if they lose. So there really isn't any penalty necessary. The only thing I can think of is warming up a bullpen pitcher, which could be significant. Umpires already break up meetings between managers and their pitchers anyway -- using a replay "flag" or whatever could just take its place.

    This is why I have a problem with instant replay. Home Runs are not the only important plays in a game and there are certainly times where a close play at the plate or a base is more important than a HR (see: game 163 last year). Sometimes whether or not a player made a full swing can be more important. Because they cannot and should not review every close play, I think it's dumb to have instant replay at all.

    I like Minute Maid

    Mid-90s FB (tops out at 97), plus slider, passable change. Hard thrower. Lemme guess... control issues?
  15. ConstableRabbit
    What's Ascanio's stuff like?
  16. ConstableRabbit
    I voted DH, but defensive indifference is pretty dumb too. It's almost like saying an IBB shouldn't be a walk because the pitcher really didn't care. The automatic triple rule is more weird than bad.
  17. ConstableRabbit
    Pat Hughes did the same thing, so I guess he sucks too right? The difference is Pat hardly ever does that. Len always gets excited for balls hit to the track. Plus his voice is annoying.
  18. ConstableRabbit
    because it looked like he hit the ball far? He does it all the time. You thought it was gone?
  19. ConstableRabbit
    That call is exactly why Len is not a great commentator. Why get so excited like that? Annoying.
  20. ConstableRabbit
    .755 ops against righties last year? Maybe he can repeat? Maybe? Please?
  21. ConstableRabbit
    Is WCIU on DirecTV? I can't seem to find it...
  22. ConstableRabbit
    The call at first was legit. They showed the replay on Sportscenter.
  23. ConstableRabbit
    HAHAHAHA
  24. ConstableRabbit
    Glad you saw that too -- I thought I was going nuts That was crazy...

    I know that he is not the GM. I was saying that Cuban strikes me as the type of owner who would really want the team to acquire "his guy". Single owner vs. faceless corporation owner has its trade-offs. And yes, the deal was ridiculous. Everyone this side of the mainstream media said it would be a failure. I'm not trying to hijack the thread, but "high reward" was not part of the deal -- it was a move by a team desperate to make a trade for an aging superstar that is a shell of his former self. I like Cuban and hope he buys the team. I'm just being cautious.
