  1. Love Parker Posey in Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman, et al. Hate that Pepsi commercial.
  2. Funny. No mention has been made of Jim Hendry's proclamation that it wouldn't matter when Woody's surgery was, because he'd be ready by opening day. I suppose we shouldn't hold Hendry to those comments because he was just relying on Wood and the doctors. Its ridiculous. Hendry obviously was either relying on bad information (for which he ought not be absolved as its his job to get the right information) or he was outright lying. Neither trait is particularly appealing. Arguing that all of this is 20/20 hindsight is absolutely, 100% bullcrap. There were plenty of posters expressing their exasperation at the way Wood was handled and the futility of pushing back his surgery when it was happening. Those opinions were bouyied, in part, by stories from board members about their recovery times from shoulder surgery. While those accounts may not be from elite athletes, they certainly are relevant. The decision to delay Wood's surgery is indefensible, pure and simple. It is clear, by Hendry's own comments, that he failed to have a grasp on Wood's recovery. That alone is grounds for his dismissal, IMO.
  3. Screw the game. Can someone tell me how to change my screen so there isn't a scroll bar at the bottom? I don't know what changed on my computer.
  4. Bob: Things just snowball and start going against you. Stone: Don't tell me how rough the water is, boys, just bring in the ship.
  5. A narcotic gas is emitted from urinal cakes in the trough that react with pee. This chemical reaction creates a euphoric state that encourages submission to all of Hendry's cleverness. That and clowns. Well, duh. Clowns are a given. Its like the monkey and organ grinder. You don't have to even mention those obvious tools of persuasion.

  7. I'm getting to a point that I just want them to lose for however long it takes for Dusty to get fired. I know it's not all his fault, but it sure as hell wouldn't hurt. As I alluded to in another thread, if the Cubs lose tonite, it will be the fourth losing streak of at least 7 games in the past year under Dusty. That isn't good. In a year??? That's just terrible. I want to see a manager with some fire...when was the last time Dusty got ejected for arguing? When you're losing this much surely there's SOMETHING to argue and show your team that you have some fight in you... I'm guessing when he didn't properly double switch someone and they were called out. IIRC, he threw his hat, he threw a fit, and apologized to Darrin.

  9. 1992 called. It wanted to say thanks for returning Maddux's arm.
  10. I don't get it. While it probably wouldn't have yielded an out, it looked like Giles was in a better position to field and throw based on their paths to the ball. Hey, you never know. Walker could have come up lame.
  11. Why in the hell did Cameron catch that?
  12. Sweet. Chris Young does his job and moves the runner over.
  13. OMGWTF he has no speed! He can't lead off! Without speed, how can you steal first?
  14. Don't encourage JC. yes, I think he is a lawyer, be VERY careful Legal engineer.
  15. I'm guessing he was worried about screwing up his swing if he threw too hard.
  16. Admit it. You had "Pierre grounds out to_____" written out ahead of time, so that all you had to do was fill in the blank. Am I right? You could probably make some kind of macro to quicken the process.
