Seemed like when you break down those seasons he was hitting around a .330-.340 BABIP when he was on. I dunno; seems a bit unsustainable for a guy who didn't project to be a big hitter. .336 was his career high for a season (in the 50 game sample in 05), which isn't outlandishly high. for the most part (and for his career) he was in the low-mid .300s, though. Like I said, I was just eyeballing his season breakdowns. The split in 2007 alone seems pretty glaring.

I wasn't bummed because we got Rich [expletive] Harden. Great [expletive] day. You went to his debut, right? When Theriot threw that ball into the OF? Oh yeah. One of the best games I ever went to. It was driving me nuts how people wanted to basically throw Marmol onto the street but quickly forgot that [expletive] horsefeathering Theriot.

A .319 BABIP isn't ridiculous, which is what he had from 05-07 with the Cubs. Seemed like when you break down those seasons he was hitting around a .330-.340 BABIP when he was on. I dunno; seems a bit unsustainable for a guy who didn't project to be a big hitter.

I liked Murton, but I remember not being bummed out when he was traded in 2008. Something just seemed to flip off pretty quickly with him. Looking at his numbers, he had a pretty ridiculous BABIP when he was hitting.

OR IS THERE.

Sure, but what are the odds he ends up one of the 4-5 best hitters in the lineup any time soon? Seems like a good spot for him for a while.

I picture you looking like the robot from Buck Rogers when you're happy and the nightmare-'bot from The Black Hole when you rage.

Plus the weird, miscalculated, Careless-like bouts of emotional outbursts. It makes you more lovable, quite frankly.

I thought it was mostly for the C-3P0-stype killjoy posts like the one above.

I'll bet he has a gigantic taint that puts his forehead to shame.

THE WRONG COMEBACK KID GOT TRADED. *Sobs*

Deadspin commenter wisdom:

Soler's lucky he's so pretty.
-
Mirotic has been very good as a 4. He's been very underwhelming in regards to what people expected him to be, and, quite frankly, what they needed him to be. He hasn't really regressed, but he hasn't improved at all on what he showed last year. Last year was supposed to be a stepping off point to what he could be, not what he actually is.
-
Besides Rose being a mess, the biggest knock against the team has to be McDermott and Mirotic both not progressing at all.

"...from Chimpan-A to Chimpan-Zee..." that's the obvious one and it's good, but i was thinking this one Huh. That was unexpected. "Ever hear of Planet of the Apes?" "Uh, the movie or the planet?"

You lucked out; tons of Cubs fans stupidly griped about him even when he was at his best. The hop, the camera love, the nonsense about how "he only hit home runs when it didn't matter/nobody on base/etc.," that he didn't care about winning and only about his own numbers. It was weird how many fans just out and out hated him pretty much the whole time he was with the team.
-
The Sosa hop is better than a bat flip. the sosa hop was actually something that i only noticed after he was gone from the cubs/baseball. it just seemed so natural i never noticed it. but it kind of feels surreal going back and watching it now and picking up on it. plus, he hit so many damn dongs that i'm sure it was just seemed second nature to see it. i will forever love that man People like my grandafther couldn't stop complaining about the hop all the damn time. And it just made me love it even more.

huh. i actually haven't seen it since maybe high school, but my main impression of it, other than the twist, is that it was "cheesy". i guess i'll have to give it another gander someday soylent green is PEOPLE seriously though, how does the game not get any love on this front I mean, it's cheesy in that the effects look plenty dated, plus all the sequels and spinoffs are SUPER cheesy (though I find the scope and ambition of the sequels impressive, relatively speaking. For something that's looked at largely as camp or cheese, they sure don't pull any punches) but the first one, IMO, is pretty damn solid. Well directed and pretty good classic sci-fi mixed with 60's-style subversion.
