    Anson was one of the elite when it came to really hating black people. There's few who can touch him.

    It's frustrating that I'm going to North Carolina this weekend and the Saturday has 0 chance of being the Cubs.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Maybe Plesac will bring the Big Blue Train with him.

    Crap, I didn't plan to be in a coma on Friday.

    Oh well, the team that's not going to ever be first in the division for the rest of year won a game. Oh dear.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Who honestly didn't see that coming?

    And now to pitch for the Cubs: a gas-soaked Vietnamese monk with a match.

    I can only assume the Cubs know something that we don't...or at least I hope they do since he really only had, what, 3 bad outings this year?
  9. Sammy Sofa
    OK, then nobody who has ever broken the law can get into the HOF. Whoops.

    I've said it before. It's getting really irritating that people keep repeating this stupid meme that things weren't against the rules since Bush I was president. It reflects horribly upon the sports journalists who covered this originally, and it's particularly annoying because the best big-exposure treatment of this in recent years seems to have been completely ignored (a 10 or so page ESPN article back around 2004) In 1991, the comish declared all illegal/controlled drugs against the rules. He specifically mentioned steroids and all controlled substances (HGH being something covered by this) Interesting. I had no idea Vincent did that. Why did Selig seemingly have to start from scratch? Something about Vincent's notice/memo must have been solid enough, otherwise Selig could have just used it as precedent. That said, not everything these guys were accused of using was always illegal during the steroids era.

    Same as Jacque...it's mostly about the money.

    How about if you have a counterpoint you make it instead of being Cryptic McDickwrappedinanenigmaboxedinariddle? I'm not saying all of it was OK in baseball, but most of these guys were "busted" after the fact, and most of those non-conclusively. It's diversionary BS.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Yes. Times a jillion. Plus infinity. Punchbuggy yellow.

    just wait until Clemens, Bonds, etc. aren't elected. At that point it should just be shut down They've kept Rose out for something off the field for decades. People still make the pilgrimage to Cooperstown. Trust me, they won't miss Clemens and Bonds one bit. Rose was one guy who willingly and repeatedly broke established rules in baseball. The "steroid era" players are going to keep piling up outside the door despite only a few of them being "caught" after the fact largely through heresay and innuendo for something that wasn't against the rules at the time, all in the face of how they arguably saved the game post-strike. Steroids were against the rules since you were in elementary school. Steroids were against the rules since you were in elementary school. Steroids were against the rules since you were in elementary school. Steroids were against the rules since you were in elementary school. Steroids were against the rules since you were in elementary school. How many freaking times does this need to be said? Most of the key substances of the steroid era were either banned by MLB after the fact or most of the players accused were "caught" (and I use the term VERY loosely) after the fact.

    I'm a big weather guy, and I think storms like this are awesome when they aren't interfering with the Cubs game. Normally I do too since typically if I get caught in them something is always open near by and I can find cover in, but after 11 at night by St. Michael's off North, everything is closed. I was tempted to pound on the doors of the Twin Anchors and demand sanctuary and ribs.

    I got caught when the second wave hit full force about a mile from home (walking) and the thought of death seemed distinct and waving at me.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    I'll say.

How many of these guys do we really want in there anyway? Palmiero? Yeah, that's who I was focusing on and not guys like McGwire, Sosa and Bonds.

    The weather report seems pretty wretched for today and tonight.

    I think dealing with him is that bad...We need an actual 3 hitter though. If you keep him at first with his great defense you can get by with him batting 2 or 5 or 6. We need an actual 3 hitter though or a guy with pop which leave obviously doesn't really have anymore at the 3 spot. That's my take. I don't think we need to get rid of him we just need an actual 3 hitter. And it would be easiest to fill that slot by finding a corner outfielder with some pop, and the only way that happens is if Kosuke is moved to CF for the rest of his time here, which I have no problem with. Use Pie as part of a package to net a corner OF masher.

    One of the worst "fights" ever. The batter stopped way short, clearly expecting to get held back before throwing a punch, so he goes into some old timey boxing stance, and the pitcher starts hissy-slapping.

    It's basically a crime he's not in. If he dies before he's inducted...man, that's just evil. Anyon have any more clips and pics of Ron in his playing days? Google doesn't have much. I'd love to find a great quality shot of him doing the heel click for my desktop.

    My issue is how many teams will be looking for a first baseman this offseason? Baltimore? San Francisco? Perhaps Kansas City? Unless Billy Butler can show why he was a former uber prospect. Maybe the Yankees. Maybe Detroit. Personally I would like to see Perry and Lee work on Lee's swing. For a big guy, he shouldn't be putting the ball on ground, he should be booming them onto Waveland. But apparently this yr, Lee has decided he rather be like Willie Mays Hays instead of Pedro Serrano. I don't know, his numbers seem to be hovering around his career stats, and wouldn't be surprising to see him stick around there. I really wouldn't mind the Cubs looking for a new #3 after this season since the power boosts from guys like Fontenot and Edmonds aren't something you can really count on. Lee would still make a damn fine #2 or #5 hitter, though I have no idea where the Cubs could get another big bat to play. Fukudome's basically blocking that option.

    Soto is from a future evolutionary point where humans communicate through thought, and he's trying to force the Cubs to evolve.
