livan headhunting!!!

what was the point of ojeda being born

is there a lamer team than the dbacks, god i hate them

go for it illini

refs doing their best to help out wisconsin haha

unless it is incidental, i think that would be penalty

Mendenhall is a man among boys. He is going be a great NFL player.

we all know white sox fans dedicate more time and effort to hating the cubs than cheering for the sox, or doing anything productive in their lives. so this doesnt really suprise me.

no way he comes close to repeating this year

cool? you call this kind of immature crap "cool?" cool would have been focusing his anger on the next batter. cool would have been setting his self-pity aside and performing the job to the fullest extent of his ability. diverting his attention and wasting his energy on an event that could no longer be controlled is the antithesis of cool. throwing his glove on the ground signalled that, at least in the heat of that moment, Ted Lilly was more interested in quickly minimizing unpleasant feelings than in maximizing the Cubs' chances of winning. it shows that, in that instant, he cared more about momentary pain than about his teammates or about achievement or competition. when the team needed him, he was too busy crying. what the hell is wrong with NSBB tonight? coming out in praise of Lilly's infantile tantrum is perfectly in step with the sentiments described by a majority of the posters during tonight's game thread, where several posters went so far as to say that they would prefer the Cubs to perform badly in the playoffs rather than well, provided that the Cubs aren't going to end up winning the world series. what kind of fan would rather his team do badly, just so he doesn't have to end up disappointed? what kind of fan would rather his team go three and out than lose a well-played game seven of the world series? what kind of fan would rather his team lose in an embarassing ****fest than lose a beautifully played game like the recent Padres-Rockies match? apparently, the type of fan who enjoyed Lilly's juvenile outburst. we are not dead. we are not a good team, and we are only debatably as good as our opponents. so far we have [expletive] all over ourselves in some of the most frustrating ways possible. aside from Zambrano and Soto, Wood, and a handfull others, we have played horribly. poor defense has worsened unbelievably bad pitching from normally solid pitchers. aside from, inexplicably, Jacque Jones, even our normally more disciplined hitters have swung the bat like idiots. Soriano has been an embarassment. we are overwhelmingly likely to lose this series, and very probably we will have deserved it. but why go in for all this self-immolating emo crap about rolling over just to lessen the pain? why celebrate the fact that Lilly stopped competing after that pitch, or that so many so-called fans want the team to lay down and die? how could anyone want to be the kind of weak spirited quitter that doesn't even have the pride to die well? and what kind of fan of baseball would rather call off the games just to save himself a little distress? what kind of competitor would give up even the smallest chance of a shot at eternal glory just in order that his probable death might come about more comfortably? some of you will say that you have been hurt too much. I say that you have learned to fear the pain so much that you no longer really care. edited for minor grammatical mistakes u have a really boring definition of cool

the dbacks are a joke offensively, a couple lucky hits for them no big deal.

the padres are cursed. the curse of michael barrett

i really hope we get to see kerry wood come in to a game at wrigley in the playoffs (with the lead of course)

someone teach hart how to shave

this stadium is horrible

wheres marshall?

i love these umps, they are so fair

well looks like the brewers will be in the playoffs

did anyone actually expect TLR and his boys to give any real effort? they will roll over and get swept, not that it matters.

There is never a excusable reason to behave the way Bradley did. One of the sadest thing in this country is that somehow that type of behavior is ok as long as the circumstances are right. Well who is to judge if the circumstances are right. I am not excusing Winters part in this. I am just saying there is no excuse for Bradleys. there clearly are excusable reasons to behave the way bradley did. he was a lot more mature and civil than winters.

yah, i can't imagine why a black man would get upset when a white authority figure taunts him using racial overtones :roll:

I really can't blame Bradley. The ump clearly had an agenda and acted way out of line. Getting his ACL torn was just a bizarre accident. Hopefully the ump gets some heavy penalties and is forced to find a new profession. Knowing MLB though, the ump will probably get a lighter penalty than Bradley.

I don't know.... 30 million a year? I'm all for giving him a chunk of the team, but that salary at that age for that long....yikes. I don't understand the problem with overpaying players if you have the money. If it doesn't hurt economically there is nothing wrong with it.

LOVE IT!!!!!

milwaukee needs to just give up, despite how much houston and stl are gonna try to help them
