Maybe if the Cardinals win, it'll light a fire under the Cubs' asses to put a contending team on the field for 2006. oh who am I kidding
-
I would never give a 3-0 green light, but I'm not a manager.
-
No, I don't want a themed restaurant in center field. What a joke. Comiskey North!
-
Steve Stone for manager, but we need him in the booth more than the dugout.
-
Psh, Earl Weaver, what does he know.
-
This would be a good road grey http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b194/78jont/road.jpg

I thiit denotes former Cubs: Lieber, Clement, et al

The Chicago Cubs letting the Mets and Reds sweep them was an unnecessary dive.

What's wrong with a groundout is that you lose an out. If that's the one run you need to win, fine, but if you need more ground to make up, that's not the best way to go about it. Sac flies are acceptable--you tried to hit a homer, it didn't get far enough, send a runner home. But sac flies aren't really easy to hit, because the pitcher is probably going to feed you potential double play balls in such a situation. But I don't think a sacrifice groundout is any good unless the run in question is the crucial run.
-
No. Just no. You don't screw Greg Maddux over. Honestly.
-
Productive outs are rubbish. Read Weaver. Read Moneyball. Why have pitchers try to sac bunt when they should instead try to draw the walk? Like Earl says, the sacrifice bunt has its place, but usually, its place is in a dark corner of a forgotten closet. Or not. Or you could be like Pete Orr this afternoon, and fail at a bunt three times and K, and look like an ass. Whatev.

I'm imagining it recited by Bill Walton.

I don't so much mind Neifi, but I'll never get Macias.
-
Striped stirrups!! I love it
-
Oh yes, it's very important that Dusty leaves on good terms! We don't want to have to explain anything to Darren!
-
I really do not get how the Cream of Wheat thing is construed as racism. He just said the guy's brain turned into mush. And come on, we remember that eight-pitcher game against the Cubs. Is it that far off? But seriously. There's no way it can be tied in with a black guy on the box, unless he said "We have a manager whose brain has turned into Cream Of Wheat, who, following his realization of this fact, cut his skull open, grabbed a spoon, and scooped his brain out to serve to small white children for their breakfast. It was delicious." And even that's not so much racist as it is just...weird
-
Would Chris Speier be an improvement as interim manager?
-
Who's to say we aren't?
-
I think September 1st should in fact be the end of Dusty Baker. We're probably going to lose three-fourths of our games remaining in August, and end up way out of the race. At that point, it's time to just screw around and see what we have in the minors.
-
LEAGUES OF FIFTEEN DO NOT MAKE SCHEDULING BETTER. ON THE CONTRARY, THEY MAKE IT A NIGHTMARE. the end
-
The only upside to tonight's game is the possibility that they intentionally threw the game so as to expediate their manager's demise.
-
Doesn't that mean that every day that a team is off? That's bad revenue for baseball to have teams not playing on a Friday, Saturday Sunday. Not to mention it makes scheduling an even bigger headache than it already is. Yes, i thought I already explained this earlier. You can't have odd numbered teams in each league. If both leagues played each other consistently throughout the season, then it could work. I think all teams should play each other, drop the WC, drop the DH and drop the ASG deciding HFA for the WS. Let's have a Western Conference and Eastern Conference! Agh. At least the ASG proposal makes sense.
-
Man I have to pay attention to the new members... seeing "The Troll" was pretty funny but this one is really bizarre! I didn't think adding a team in Norfolk was THAT strange
-
Realignment scheme: Add Portland or Las Vegas to the AL West, add Charlotte or Norfolk to the AL East, and move Toronto to the Central. 5-6-5. Don't touch the NL, and keep the Wild Card.
-
I think if you have to expand the AL, just go 5-6-5 like the NL and leave the divisions and Wild Card alone. And you aren't gonna get a 3rd NY team to work because all of the allegiances have been established by now. Yankee fans, Met fans comprising former GIants/Dodgers fans. Where are these new fans coming from? Jersey is split between Yankees, Mets, and Phillies. Connecticut is split between Yankees and Red Sox. A third team wouldn't work. It'd never get off the ground.
