    It's watermarked now, but still floating around the Web http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/ndistops/Dumpster.jpg This is taken from a 2008 game thread that was 41 pages long.

    Bote flashing some major leather over there at 3B tonight. Andrew Chafin continues to be awesome.

    I don't think I've ever seen that contact play work. A guy either would've scored anyway on a base hit or he gets thrown out by 10 feet like Rizzo just was.

    It's stupid how good Bryant is right now.

    I don't live in the area anymore and don't get Marquee but Len was a mercenary just like everyone else. I remember him doing a nationally televised cubs game and had to get excited for any big play for or against the Cobs. Surprised he didn't end up going to the Brew Crew. i know he was just a mercenary too, but the reason he didn't act excited for good cubs plays during nationally televised games was because he had to remain impartial. all announcers do that. I actually recall being fascinated at how different he sounded calling our good plays on FOX versus local broadcasts. That's got to take some work.

    He hasn't yet. Didn't start either game today. Wildly uneducated guess is he'll be back in the lineup within a day or two, otherwise they would've IL'd him as well.
  7. Andy
    That was a really fun inning.

    I meant MLB as the company line. I'm sure the Ricketts would rather have the extra 4 innings of gameplay over these 2 games. But I'm pretty sure 7-inning doubleheaders will never go away now.
  9. Andy
    Every team's fans feel like this, probably, but it's incredible how none of the Daniel Descalso types ever seem to get hurt but our only semi-reliable veteran starter and the non-Bryant guy providing the biggest jolt to the offense go on the injured list on the same day.

    Drop Hiura at DH, add Shohei Ohtani. Bye-bye to my first-half transactions. Still at $1K.
  11. Andy
    No idea how the tickets work but think they kept the 7-inning DH thing to help limit pitcher innings/fatigue off the shortened year. That's the company line. I wonder what the company line will be next year when they're still here.
  12. Andy
    Not one tiny bit. I can't know for sure, but I honestly think that and the 7 inning doubleheader crap are part of the reason I'm slightly less into baseball. Like if they're not going to take the sport seriously, why should I.
  13. Andy
    I don't know that he's much of a pro QB, but I also didn't think he was much of a college QB and he proved that loud wrong. Chances are he never starts a game barring injury but I can't imagine a QB room is worse for having him in it.
  14. Andy
    He just started yelling at Rizzo after he struck him out. Just clown behavior. It wasn't Rizzo who objected to it, it seemed like, it was Javy (who of course has his own problems with Garrett).
  15. Andy
    I'm really tired of Garrett and his antics. Prance and preen all you want after you strike a guy out, but yelling directly at a guy like some tough guy is some [expletive].

    By lollygagging around 2nd. Christ it's not like Castellanos flubbing the ball is some miraculous occurrence.

    Nice baserunning, you moron

    I'd agree as a MAC fan. Obviously this isn't the first time they've hired a Buffalo guy, but Turner Gill wasn't really even very good at Buffalo except for getting piss lucky in one MAC title game at 7-5 (speaking as an alum of the team he got piss lucky against); Leipold turned Buffalo into a consistent MAC threat for 3 years running, a pretty remarkable feat, and has a strong resume at UW-Whitewater in D-III to back him up. He may or may not end up working out, but it was the right decision.

    I swear I'm not pandering, but if Carolina wasn't going to take the shot at Fields (they really seem to like Jaycee Horn and I'm guessing they were concerned if they traded down they'd lose him), I'm glad he's in Chicago. That franchise really needed a jolt of excitement.

    And right on cue, The Athletic has released a report today saying that a 12-team CFP with 4 byes is gaining support. 12 teams? They would somehow still figure out a way to include a 9-3 SEC team over an 11-1 Group-of-Five team A 12-team format would likely include 1 guaranteed G5 spot. However, with 6 at-larges, you're not wrong about the SEC part.

    Starting to think Brandon Workman might not work out.

    Bulls '20-'21

    Andy replied to Brian's topic in Other Sports

    Unless I missed something, both the '21 and '23 pick are top-4 protected, although I haven't seen anything on how those picks are conveyed if they fall in the top 4.
  24. Andy
    I thought he was DFA'd?Passed through waivers, was brought back today because Romine is hurt again.
  25. Andy
    ICYMI, and they hope you did, the CFP people said they played around with dozens of potential expansion scenarios before saying they're happy with the current one, which essentially confirms that they're expanding the thing by the time the current contract ends, if not before.
