  1. Keep the crosstown/regional series, but do we really need Cubs vs. Mariners?
  2. Nobody gets that 15+15 doesn't work. If the Marlins move to SA they'll stay in the East. I mean, how long were the Braves in the West? Ideally, they'll just move up the coast to Norfolk, which I think could support its first pro team well.
  3. From their website: "His many years with the organization give Shannon a unique insight in his commentary." Let's be honest as to where that insight is REALLY coming from.
  4. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90/czechrepublicTCR/headfirstlikepeterose.jpg
  5. Not the time or the place, but Idaho isn't part of the Pacific Northwest, inasmuch as it doesn't have a coastline at all. It's part of the Empty Quarter/Intermountain West, whatever you want to call it.
  6. I really think we should take a chance on Nomar again.
  7. He started to lose it in game 4 of the NLCS. Then blew game 5. Then blew game 2 of the WS, then blew game 4 of the WS. So? Mariano Rivera wasn't so hot last October. Or October '01. Lidge is still an elite closer, but if the Astros fans demand that the team remove him, well, come on over.
  8. Maybe I was a little rough on Barrett with the whole boneheaded plays thing. I like Michael Barrett. I just think we could use better fielding at that spot. Maybe he can keep improving.
  9. Of course, the tradeoff for getting offense from that position was a bunch of boneheaded moves in the field.
  10. McCarver: Bronson Backe warming in the bullpen for the Astros. bahahahah
  11. Oh come on, Lidge has been a highly reliable closer until Game 5 of the NLCS. He gave up a home run to Albert Pujols in a (omg!) clutch situation. Yeah he's Farnsworth 2 Electric Boogaloo, of course
  12. Season Over

    WGN covering this made me ill.
  13. No it's not. One guy is injured for all of 2006, and the other is dead.
  14. White Sox fans are so rare, it wouldn't be worth the effort to hunt one down.
  15. I hate ESPN

    White Sox fans don't whine? bahahahahahhahaha They do, you just can't hear it because there are only like ten of them.
  16. If we absolutely had to have 16 teams to a league, do it like this: AL West: Los Angeles, Oakland, Texas, Seattle, Portland AL Central: Chicago, Minnesota, Cleveland, Detroit, Kansas City, Toronto AL East: New York, Boston, Baltimore, Tampa Bay, Norfolk or Charlotte NL: Leave it Three division winners, Wild Card stays, Blue Jays can dream of upward mobility.
  17. People will never understand that 15+15 does not work, I swear.
  18. With the Cardinals and Astros as the other possibilities, I had to root for the Braves to win the pennant, but when I found out that what ended up doing them in was just Kyle bein' Kyle, I just had to laugh.
  19. Don't we always go to Denver in mid-August?
  20. I'd have to pull for the Cards over the White Sox. We can't let them end the drought first. It has to be the Cubs. The White Sox are not a Chicago team to me. The grey jerseys say Chicago, but I'm not reading it. I've never had any trouble with Cardinals fans. It's more of a good-spirited jab-in-the-arm kinda deal. White Sox fans are bitter, mean-spirited, and care more about being better than the Cubs than anything else. (And to get all three big rivalries accounted for, Astros fans are just obnoxious.) So yeah. If it comes down to that, let the Cardinals win it, preferably in 4 or 5, so they can say goodbye to their strangely beloved cookie-cutter Busch Stadium in style. Then the Cubs can beat them in 2006. But I don't want a World Series victory parade in our city for any team but the Cubs.
