  1. I believe he then hit in 24 in a row to make it 80 out of 81 games in which he got a hit.
  2. I don't see Ortiz or Ramirez or A-Rod or Pujols or Bonds or anybody else get plunked because of admiring home runs. I've seen highlights of the four of them (and any manner of others) absolutely preening after home run swings, no better than Soriano. I don't know why it only seems to piss opponents off when our players do it.
  3. I'm more concerned with Perry v. Peavy. If Perry gets 3 games, Peavy needs to be suspended about 15, because Perry by all accounts did absolutely nothing wrong. I was expecting about 5 for Lee. I can live with that as long as he serves after Aramis is back. No matter what happens, if a brawl happens, the Cubs are getting the worse of the suspensions. That's the one constant.
  4. -1 to anyone who shows beefcake pictures to 'counteract' OMC I get the joke and I don't like it
  5. For the record, this marks the 4th year in a row that an NL Central team has jumped out to a ridiculously large lead. At least it's not the Cardinals this time I guess.
  6. I had to go with Balsa. Sorry CCP.
  7. Both posters crack me up, but abuck's sarcasm kills me sometimes. I'll vote him by an eyelash.
  8. I don't really know MOJ's posts that well, so I'll go with Meph.
  9. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Rogers Hornsby's .424 batting average in a single season. (Which I only became aware of when Mark Bellhorn of all people broke it with me in MVP Baseball 2003)
  10. More Froemming: He called Nomar off the 2nd base bag on Aug 12, 2004, while turning a double play, a call that is rarely invoked. Even more amazingly, Nomar wasn't just near the bag, he actually was on it. The Cubs lost in extra innings.
  11. BY FAR my favorite. And it's not even close. As bad as he was last year, his OPS this year is over a hundred points lower than it was in 2006. That's simply mind-boggling to me.
  12. All I know is that the 2007 Chicago Cubs are a living breathing example of the bad umpiring in MLB lately. From the hideous home opener with Hoye/Boyd blatantly screwing us on the corners, to Froemming and Wegner teaming up to get Lou suspended for a seemingly unprecedented 4 games, to Wolf mind-reading Ted Lilly even though his own crew chief was not blessed with psychosomatic abilities, to today's events, the Cubs have been involved, for better and (mostly) for worse, in some ridiculous exhibitions of umpiring.
  13. I will piss myself if Kobe comes to Chicago.
  14. RynoRules is a great poster for the most part, but a) he's a Michigan fan and b) SSR's a cool cat and also the only fellow ND fan who's been around (and active) as long as I have. Gotta vote for him.
  15. Oh lord, I voted Snood already but that video is the most hilarious thing I've seen in a while.
  16. Sigh. I have to think about this one. I really like reading Balsa's posts, but CCP is very friendly and also a Notre Dame fan. Get back to me.
  17. I voted "You Could Use Some Baseball" because it's so easily refuted with "With a team a hell of a lot better than our terrible-ass team in Arlington"
  18. Sweetpeteman is great, but sucking up to the ladies is in my blood and I can't stop now.
  19. I voted Mizzou. I'm also shocked that Cubbies75 got obliterated so badly, I was actually looking forward to losing to him next round.
  20. I really like both these guys, but I'll give a slight edge to davhern for being a huge Bulls fan.
  21. So, Z pitches a two-hitter and gets the loss. The two hits are a dinky grounder off Z's glove and a pop-fly home run that comes after two possible strike threes in the AB. Yup. That's our Cubs. Oh, and I'm fully preparing myself for a long DLee suspension and a short Young one even though Young started it (and, apparently, incited it further), and the Padres all but said they'd drill somebody in this game.
  22. Ryan put the Padres in the http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/ndistops/Dumpster.jpg
  23. There's no way that's Lilly, the guy in the pic isn't even white.
