  1. Pitchers currently take 5% of NL plate appearances, and basically zero in high leverage/late inning situations, so, not much? 5% is plenty...and the DH would still be taking more than that assuming he's not the worst hitter in the lineup. Plus it's not simply a matter of the pitcher not hitting; it's also taking way PA's from the humps that take up space on the bench.
  2. The Bulls have shown that kicking the [expletive] out of the Heat in the regular season doesn't really mean squat, so I'm not sure what tomorrow would prove either way.
  3. Works for me; whatever it takes to get the screen up ASAP.
  4. How much are you thinking they are buying? I have no idea; I'm guessing whichever ones would be blocked/obstructed by their planned renovation and likely would sue. Isn't that most of them?
  5. Makes sense, but holy [expletive], isn't this potentially the missing piece in all of the debate about how the payroll is going to end up slashed?
  6. GROSS, and I was right.
  7. Who the hell is their announcer? He sounds like this guy: http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/RORm1z90-Bs/hqdefault.jpg
  8. I don't think I'd ever be at a "oh, it's cool if they lose this" point with any of my teams if they're actually playing for a championship, regardless of how many they've won recently. It just seems like an odd thing to single out with the plethora of actual reasons to point out how terrible their fans are.
  9. great news a new owner who seems to care about the team just kidding the old owner made him promise to never spend any money great news we got theo he's gonna improve the team super fast just kidding it's now illegal to spend money on the farm system and all of his other tricks from boston are now known by everyone great news teams in big markets now get billion dollar tv contracts just kidding we signed a contract with csn for a hundred years and twenty-seven dollars a game great news at least we have rizzo and castro, a true base to build around just kidding both of them suck now CAN I GO NOW?!?
  10. Holllllllllllllllllllly [expletive]. That is just awful. But not in the least bit surprising. And as I told the GF, you'd probably see something similar from just about every fanbase, though probably not quite as extreme as this is. Yeah, I've seen tons of stuff from stupid Cubs fans along those lines, but not that concentrated and with that much vitriol from so many people. Christ, that's depressing.
  11. OK, it really does seem like some otherworldy force is actively [expletive] up nearly every possible avenue or advantage the Cubs kinda need to fix this [expletive] mess.
  12. Holllllllllllllllllllly [expletive]. That is just awful.
  13. Why are national treasures like da Bum banned but this monster is free to wander the Earth?
  14. The Cubs are interested in a ton of things they can't afford right now.
  15. I was just on my way home and it looked like most of the action was right down the street from the Belmont station. Stupid Ricketts.
  16. Thanks for clarifying.
  17. Care to give me a google map link of the location? I'm not too familiar with the area. Sure thing: Link It really is too bad it will never happen, because it's absolutely perfect. Walking distance from 3 El lines, a few blocks from LSD and 90/94, a long walk or short shuttle/bus from Union Station/Ogilvie, plenty of space for all the other revenue generating crap they want, and they could orient the view from the stadium with the skyline/Sears Tower. holy hell this is the most genius thing ever tt It really is [expletive] perfect. Hell, I wanted them to move to Cabrini when they kicked everyone out of there, too.
  18. The real reason the Wrigley renovations are on hold is until they can sell it to the public based on the raw sexual magnetism of Vogelbach.
  19. not just that stuff, but a lot of the people who are loudest about legalization are WAY too into pot. like it's a way of life for them. i'm pretty sure that prohibition would have gone on longer than it did if the prominent voices to undo the 18th amendment were a bunch of fall-down drunks. Leave the American history to the experts, koala-boy.
  20. Fred needs to get those truckers that were going to blockade DC into action here.
  21. He's splurging and getting them out of the $1 DVD bin at the gas station.
  22. Imagine if Ricketts hadn't been able to hire Theo. Holy [expletive]; I think I just had a seizure.
  23. Wait until he goes on a poor man's bender and triple teams Angels in the Outfield, Little Big League and Rookie of the Year and he gets a ca-ray-zay idea.
