    He's only been flirting with .900 for a very, very brief window, soooooo...let's not sucking each other's hot dogs just yet.

    He's not excelling at AAA, especially given the expectations and his defensive liabilities. I'm not rooting against him, but I'm not holding my breath that he pans out. Ok, so his bat is excelling. His defense can be at least partially covered up by a move to the OF, where his arm might at least have some value. How is his bat "excelling?" Given the expectations and the need to overcome his defensive liabilities he needs to be beating the hell out of AAA. Relative to that he's essentially just doing well, but certainly nowhere near good enough to think he could justify being a starting corner MLB OF. His OPS is near .900. You know, excelling. Yes, a high ceiling, defensively challenged prospect is hitting in the .800's in AAA. That's not excelling. Excelling is what Rizzo did.

    Rizzo's first stint in AAA: .331 .404 .652 1.056 Rizzo's second stint in AAA: .342 .405 .696 1.101 Vitters' AAA stints: .304 .356 .513 .869 .271 .367 .459 .826 .306 .383 .514 .897 The mention was really more regarding their struggles in the majors than their successes at AAA. the fact that I stated that Rizzo struggled wasnt to draw a comparison, but show that players we tag as "prospects" can have bad first stints in the majors, too, and that Vitters shouldnt be written off because he had a bad 100 PAs. But that's not the only reason people are down on him. It's a big reason, to be sure, but it's one of several. Bringing up Rizzo was rather pointless because his first terrible stretch in the majors was offset by the potential demonstrated by how he kicked the holy [expletive] out of the minors. Vitters, by contrast, is bad defensively and doesn't hit nearly well enough to justify staying at 3B or playing 1B or the OF. He's been "good" offensively at best in the minors when he needs to be a LOT better.

    Yesterday felt like the good ol' days. More, please.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Alright, that's pretty damn great.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Man, Cubs have had some good patient AB's today.

    So is that potentially different in terms of liability from other areas of the ballpark? Everywhere else would be covered by all of the warnings to watch out for bats and balls, but does the presence of the screen/net change that for people in those seats? Basically I'm asking if she would have a case if she tried to sue.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Here's the video: How the [expletive] did that get through? Is there a hole in the screen?
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, despite the often crap product, I've been really happy with those seats. The section is usually only 60-70% full at the most, so there's always plenty of room to spread out. Bathroom nearby, too.

    Still one of the saddest damn articles: http://archives.progressiveboink.com/archive/expos.htm
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Why wouldn't they?
  23. Sammy Sofa
    How empty it is depends on who they're playing, but unless it's the Cardinals there's going to be some decent seats still available. I've got my tickets for the 30th available, but it's just a pair.

    Are you drunk?

    I'm sure there's outcry from a group of residents. Heck, in Lincoln Park, people are up in arms about putting a Walgreens on Armitage. People will complain about anything. Well, that's for several reasons. I'm down the street from there and the initial outcry was over the loss of the old Baptist church it replaced. The the main issue was them being able to sell liquor, and when they would be. Me, I can't wait until it opens up. I only have [expletive] Treasure Islands and 7-11's around me, so having an option like that between my L stop and home is awesome.
