Since when did Harrington become competent?

Stupid penalties

It doesn't help when the announcers keep talking about how much we're sucking/showing replays of us sucking...

There's still plenty of time, but they need to wake up. DAMN

Are you KIDDING me

I don't want Rex to get into "trying too hard to make stuff happen" mode.

Ok, GOTTA get it together here

ARGHHHHHH!

I hope so too. But I fear he will just look pathatic. I'd rather remember Sammy as he was in 1998. Yeah, but I'm really curious to see how he'd do. I want him to reach 600.

Absolutely.

105.9 wckg Thanks! Kinda random station though, eh? That's the new flagship station. i seriously miss the bulls on ESPN 1000, i dont know why? Yeah, that's what I was expecting. This is a little fuzzy for me as well.

What radio station is the game on?

I saw Lovie last nite! His son is my age and goes to Northwestern. He was dropping his son off at around 5:30 in a black escalade right in front of my dorm, so I went up and told him how awesome the Bears were, etc etc It was a magical moment in my life. We're practically brothers now.

Walker's slide with Ron yelling "COME ON! COME ON!" off of Bradford, who was (I believe) pitching lights out at that point in the season. Freaking out when we got Nomar. and for a brief moment, Sammy making the catch of his career, completely laying out before LaTroy blew it (again). Phew, what a season

Yeah, I'm guessing he just really wanted to stay there.

Or maybe he's just using the time alotted to get the best contract he can. Now that Ramirez has opted out, Hendry will in all likelihood be forced to up the offer to sign him, which if history is any indication, is what's probably going to happen. What history? I'd say it's far more likely that Hendry allows him to walk and signs someone completely lousy to play 3B than it is that Hendry actually pays a top 5 player at his position market value. The history I was just talking about. While each situation is different, Hendry has always locked up the players he wants to keep. He's in negotiations with Ramirez and Ramirez is opting out to improve his leverage. I'm not saying to blow it off and ignore the situation, but there's an excess of hand-wringing over it. If we're still in the same spot by next Friday, then it's time to really worry. Why Friday? He's had every day since the season ended to resolve this. No progress has been reported. Bruce can ever verify that they aren't anywhere close. Why be optimistic, or wait an arbitrary amount of days for pointing out that (once again) Hendry has screwed up and put our team in a terrible position? And again, there is no history for this situation. Hendry has never had a player as good as ARam be FA eligible. Because it takes two people to sign the contract. Before now, it's not in Ramirez's interest to sign because he hasn't opted out yet, and the chance he might not works in Hendry's favor. Now that he's opted out, Hendry has to up the offer, and he'll probably do so. The next friday comment is in response to the amount of time we have exclusive rights to negotiate with Ramirez. If they're still nowhere close to each other near the end of that, then go crazy. But until now it wasn't in Ramirez's interest to sign, and it wasn't in Hendry's interest to up his offer. Exactly.

Get a hotel room. It makes the whole thing much more worthwhile because there aren't really places to sit down and relax and you'll get tired walking around all day. Also, before you go, get a schedule and plan out who you want to see -- you won't be able to do everything, so make the best of your time.

how so? If we're playing in Wilt's era when there weren't as many good big men to compete with, then you have to go with Wilt. But in today's game Wilt wouldn't be near as dominant as he was in his day simply because there are more good big men. I'd take MJ if we're starting anywhere after 1975. yep

What about douchebag players and/or coaches?

It's been that kind of year

3rd stringer vs. starter. I'd say so. I wish they'd just stop turning the $*&^% ball over!

Inge's at-bat was a model of impatience.

Unreal. I guess this proves that anyone can win a World Series.

Yeah, I do too.
