    Byrd deserves his own Web Gem reel.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Yet another great catch by Byrd.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    You didn't even prove your own point in the first place. How is it possible you aren't grasping this at all?
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Wait, why? Neither of you have shown what the Cubs did to have been exceptional.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Fred, you are a doll.

    HEADLINE: Bed, Bath, and Beyond in Orange County sells out their complete inventory of towels. =D> http://www.chucknorrishiking.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/dsc_01041.jpg

    Honestly, it seems like every time there's a game where one team gets killed and the other wins by putting up football numbers you hear about it was the first time since so-and-so that a team did or didn't do this or that.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Damn, I hope the Bulls sign him in time.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Only the Cubs split Fred's penis.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Hmmmmm, yes, that's the logical conclusion.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Eh, they'll probably pull their usual gimmick this season of inexplicably doing well against the better teams they face.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    OK, finally, we're back to original consensus; erik looks for reasons to foster his "only the Cubs" mentality. Case closed.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    I'm just trying to understand what that time frame has to do with anything. And stop harping on the word "facts." Listing occurrences doesn't make ones conclusion automatically a fact.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Hey, if "better than Harry" is one of the criteria then it's usually a roaring success.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Good Lord, those peaks and valleys must be murder. But seriously, why can't we look at any teams and weeks before 1957? That's completely arbitrary. The years of the records the Cubs broke aren't some kind of magical cutoff points where we can no longer penetrate the mists of time.

    Ray Chapman was killed by a pitch he took of the head while playing for the Indians. Doc Powers died from injuries and complications he received from crashing into a wall while chasing a pop-up during a game and playing for the A's. Oh, right, we can't go back to before 1957 for some random reason.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Somewhere, Marlon Byrd just died a little on the inside. Real fans know that black players can't hustle, d'uh.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Ah, but is the death of player worse than losing to someone hitting for the cycle? Or a record breaking number of hits with RISP? Or a record breaking number of hits by an arbitrary stretch of three players in the lineup? I think not.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Only if he really screwed over the Cards owner, like sleeping with his wife, before becoming a Cub fan. Daughter-in-law. But really, all we're doing is showing how there's really no standards involved here.

  21. Sammy Sofa
    Wait, why do we have to stop at 1957 just because you stopped there?
  22. Sammy Sofa
    He's losing it.

    Man, people here are not grasping the concept of "facts" today. erik, you didn't prove or use "facts" to show that only the Cubs could have had a week of baseball this bad. To do so would require you point out some kind of previous "winner" of worst week ever and then showing how the Cubs' week was worst. You did nothing of the sort. You rattled off a bunch of reasons why the Cubs sucked this past week and then subjectively declared that they amounted to the suckiest week that the sucky Cubs ever sucked. There is nothing anyone can do to "prove you wrong" because you never proved your own point in the first place. There is exactly something someone can do: Prove a worse week by another team. Again, I'lll even let a few things slide here and there, and they can be approximations. Nothing has to be exact. This is why I said way back when that it wasn't worth getting into it because not your or my opinion on the matter would be changed, and neither opinion has. .... So you want people to prove you wrong...except it's just opinions in the first place and those will never change...but how can...if we...and then... http://www.djmoya.com/wp-content/uploads/head_explode-779507.jpg

    Ok. See, unlike you, I can use actual facts when debating. Here is why you are wrong: Lou Piniella's approximate Cubs managerial record: 311-276 (.529 win pct), with 2 playoff appearances A worse manager? Of the long list of managers I could name, let's go with Jim Riggleman: 374-419 (.472 win pct) with 1 playoff appearance. Ok. Your turn. How many teams managed by Jim Riggleman had a week as bad as Lou's team?? I will need to see a side by side chart comparison of futility records broken before I can proceed.
