    Better than the weird Jheri curl mess he had rocking for a while.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    seriously It doesn't bother me; it's just not what I was expecting at all.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    That was fun to watch, as was Maddon being too close to the mic (and Rizzo's epic f-bomb), but man, the Cubs's offense has looked like absolute [expletive] in every ST game I see. I feel like they're doing it on purpose to spite me.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Not that I paid much of any attention to the Rays, but Jesus [expletive] Christ, has he just completely lost it? I thought he was just a slightly weird dork-type.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    love it http://replygif.net/i/912.gif

    NO HALF SHIRTS.

    The guyliner and half-shirts suck, because they are rightfully mocked for looking TERRIBLE, but at the same time it gives ammo to the worst kind of fans who are just gonna call him a "[expletive]" and [expletive] over it. Which actually makes Edmond even more terrible that he can't be mocked properly for his atrocious fashion choices.

    Unless there's a big name guest, radio remotes always sound like crowd is, like, 10 people, tops. It always seemed like one of the more brutally embarrassing things to do if you're doing a radio show.

    If Baez's prime looks anything like Sosa's last few years with the Cubs... I'm pretty sure that would be like the best-case scenario for Baez's career. Good catch. Sosa's WAR his final 5 years with the Cubs: 5.8 9.9 5.2 2.7 2.4 OH, THE HURTING AND THE AGONY. A bit of redemption for rawdog.

    Everyone of consequence got the day off to go see off Baez. Think a combination of the Indians trying to get of Willie Mays Hayes and a Viking funeral.

    A Maddon jersey seems like a great idea, but I'd be wary because he seems to be barely walking the line between genius and madness.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Crunch those numbers for us, Conky.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Would this still work is the runner's pants were full of foam instead of being about to burst?
  14. Sammy Sofa
    i guess that's probably true if you have some sort of mental disease that prevents you from conditional thought What am I missing here? As has been pointed out, you really have to be timing and positioning yourself just right to potentially be taking advantage of reaching the base quicker AND not sending your chances of stupidly injuring yourself through the roof. It doesn't seem like something you could ever really rely on consistently to get you to the base quicker, so what would change even if it's a lock that it could get you there quicker if done right? It's not exactly an easily teachable skill or ability.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Right, but what does it matter if it's faster or not? There's simply no getting around the injury-factor.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/diving-into-first-base-maybe-not-crazy/ As the link notes, this is not about injuries. This is purely about whether diving or running through the bag is faster. Take your injury arguments elsewhere. I've long been in the minority (I think) by believing that diving could be (theoretically) slightly faster than running through the bag, but I know everyone has strong opinions on this. It's pointless to discuss this if you're throwing down the absurd caveat that is in bold up there. It's impossible to separate the ridiculous jump in the chances of the runner injuring themselves from the act itself, so what does it matter if it's technically faster? There's basically zero chance that any benefit would come even remotely close to offsetting the spike in injuries if players were encouraged to do this.

    Mercy.

    I'm going to celebrate my 10th anniversary with a diabolical orgy with 10 stunningly beautiful people. That's how it works, right?
  20. Sammy Sofa
    That's the most normal-sized his face has ever looked. What a catch-22.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Man, some of you guys have incredible memories for these banned posters. That was 7 years ago. Yeah, but that was easily a top 10 thread; maybe top 5.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Sad story, but you guys realize that like half of it is complete bull [expletive] right? How so For starters, you don't get knocked out and wake up hours or days later unless you're in a movie. It's likely a combination of embellishment and a guy who suffered multiple violent head injuries not remembering things clearly. It's not like the injuries didn't actually happen; he was repeatedly sent out there while still dealing with dizziness, poor balance, trouble seeing or splitting headaches, and that's not even counting the injuries to the rest of his body.

    My apartment in Chicago got terrible wireless and phone reception back in the kitchen, so if I was stuck back there cooking or cleaning I'd usually just settle for the radio. Mostly the news or NPR, but sometimes you want scores or, let's face it, to do a little hate-listening. But as soon as I was free from that signal deadzone? Forget it, it was like that garbage didn't exist.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    I'm so glad I don't have to hear about Andy the Clown or Al's Beef every afternoon when I turn on the score anymore. http://stream1.gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs1/1475557_o.gif
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, but that was The Score playing a Fox Sports feed. They still do that on occasion...sometimes on weekends, more often on holidays. weird. ive never heard that but i rarely tune in at those times. kinda odd that they wouldn't have some cbs programming to put on instead. That's what I figured would be on; I just wanted one of those highlight shows to get some quick scores and instead it's North slobbering all over the mic. Horrifying.
