  1. wouldn't he have been more believable as a Giant?
  2. i think the apostrophe goes after the s in Banks' because it's his kid or something ill have to grab my stylebook real quick
  3. yeah I've always done that next up: than/then the apostrophes annoyed me more, personally
  4. except for what
  5. Or the 2005 Orange Bowl. i was mindblowingly drunk by halftime i remember leaving with some people, going to a bar and waking up underneath some furniture the next day i had tickets to that game and everything, but i turned them down GOOD CALL
  6. Um, what? Define "productive." i just meant that a guy that ks a lot is likely to be a power hitter that goes deep into counts, while a guy who just makes weak contact instead is probably just a singles hitter. why don't people say "god NO one should ground out 200 times!" someone like jack cust is going to k over 200 times and his OPS+ is around 130. someone like ryan theriot just grounds out a lot instead and his OPS+ is 93.
  7. There's no reason ANYBODY should be striking out 200 times per year, high OBP or not. your baseball knowledge is definitely in the bottom 10 percent of this board And you're a borderline troll who should have been banned long ago. And, seeing as you're a genius, would you care to explain to me why it's a good thing that they're striking out 200 times per year? Care to tell me why with runners on the corners and one out, it's ok that he strikes out, instead of putting the ball in play and perhaps getting the runner home? Yes, when you strike out you avoid the double play. But that is worst-case scenario. If there's not a runner on 1st, a strikeout isn't any better than a ground out or a fly ball. At least with a fly ball or grounder, you can possibly advance the runners. With a strikeout, barring a dropped 3rd strike, they don't. It's simple, really. So, care to tell me why it's desirable for a high OBP guy to strike out at disgusting levels? Seeing as that's the position you're taking by rebuking my argument. I'd be quite happy to hear it. i don't think you've really understood any of this. it's not a good thing that they're striking out 200 times or 250 times or 150 times or whatever. those are outs and outs are bad. but they're just outs. there are times a k is worse than a pop up or a groundout and there are times it's better, but the point is that some arbitrary number like 200 isn't the end of the world. Someone like Mark Reynolds strikes out 200 times, but his OPS+ is still 98. that's not good but there are a lot of players who produce at that level, only their outs come via weak contact or whatever. it just seems weird to see something like "you better never strike out 200 times!", but you never see someone say something like "you better never groundout 300 times!", considering a guy who Ks a lot is likely to be a more productive hitter.

  9. he canceled meth sales when the white sox were in the playoffs
  10. i think you're in the scoreboard
  11. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/ticketing/postseason.jsp Just got a pair as well. Section 305, Row 11. Can someone tell me where in the bleachers 305 is? Left center field Nice, best seats in the house. Yeah, mine are 305, row 18
  12. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/ticketing/postseason.jsp Just got a pair as well. Section 305, Row 11. Can someone tell me where in the bleachers 305 is? Left center field
  13. awesome, i just picked up two bleacher seats
  14. wait, where
  15. Could they end up being the worst 100-win team in MLB history? I think you could make a strong case for it. Hi, we'd like to disagree with you. their pythag was 109-53, what are you doing?
  16. WELL CRAP
  17. Notre Dame hadn't played a true road game out of conference since December 2005 prior to this year's scheduled trip to Loyola Marymount. So I have no room to say anything. but my thing is that it probably hurts the team in march and april. also i will complain about the fact the coach K has had 9-10 players that he could include in a rotation, but sticks with 7-8. Then we wonder why we wear down in April. Still, the biggest thing that has hurt them the last few seasons has been their lack of a post presence. more like the lack of their black presence too many whites
  18. jesus can hit a slider
  19. it was relatively early. best day of my life, OU demolished texas during the day and then Aramis hit a grand slam and the cubs wailed on the marlins. both seasons went downhill from there.
  20. he wants the mets to win so he wishes we tossed a weaker pitcher out there?
  21. it wouldn't sting so bad if it wasn't true
  22. If it's a number and/or letter combination, then it's unique. If it's something like "chicago," then it would be generic. its a 7 digit code consisting of random letters and numbers Will you post it once you're able to get your tickets? Were you seriously asking for somebody's password so you could try and get tickets and then re-sell them? lolllllllllllll
  23. he almost did 10/10/5, not many centers around that are better than he is. if he improves half as much as he did before last season, he'll be a lotto pick.
  24. it probably wasnt even the biggest from 2008
