Did you watch the 8th inning last night? -
Wow...are the Bengals gonna keep him then? Trying to call his bluff? I don't think he's bluffing.
-
In his defense, the comic is almost always a single circular panel, but yeah.
-
Gameday has Lilly's fastball at around 86-88...still not good.
-
You are going to break even. No way in the world is Lilly going to have a ERA under 4.00. Both bets were just $5 each, so it's not like I'm betting the farm. Imagine we'll have a couple more going before the season is over.
-
Kyle Lohse needs to realize that he's not a 1.39 ERA pitcher.
-
Is this for pre-season games? Preseason games, Bears GDL, and Bears GNL. Everything that used to be on NBC. I hope that they'll still share the preseason game broadcasts with other stations around the state so non-Chicagoans can still see those games? Those of us not in Chicago didn't get GDL and GNL anyway, so no loss there.

I've got a bet with a buddy that the Cubs will win the head-to-head matchups with the Cardinals this year. I feel pretty confident on that one, so I made another bet with the same guy that Lilly will finish with an ERA under 4.00. I'm much less confident on that one, but the bets cancel each other out, so what the heck. Anyway, my point being...Lilly needs to start bringing it.

I don't know if they would want to do that. Would you want to risk messing with Ankiel's head?

Apparently Dusty Baker Doesn't Watch Games
Banedon replied to reds44's topic in General Baseball Talk
Funny thing is though, that this is an improvement for Corey. He was referred to by various K nicknames so often that I can't even type them because the filter won't allow me. -
Hendry's Replacement
Banedon replied to CubinNY's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
That really isn't fair. We don't know how many of those guys he wanted and how many George told him he wanted. But how can you know? And if you have to assume that his bad choices were potentially George-induced, don't you have to assume the same about his good ones? If you factor in George, then you really have no idea if Cashman is a good GM or a horrible one. -
Olney's LF Solution
Banedon replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
In the competition for superfluous outfield choices, Bonds > Lofton. -
Sig'd
-
ALRIGHT FELIX!!!
-
nobody cares about your fantasy team. rawr. And why would you draft Ben Sheets anyway? Sorry Roast, but that wasn't the smartest pick. Predicting Sheets goes down with an injury is like predicting...
-
Frank Thomas.
-
I debated on that. I probably should have left it off.
-
Hulk was my answer. Wolverine was my buddy's.
-
I know, weird poll. My buddy and I were discussing this. Assuming that Spidey is the most popular Marvel character (not a big stretch), who do you think is next? I'm not looking for your favorite, but who you think is most bankable or popular. If I'm missing a choice, let me know and I'll add it.

The Pre-Emptive Dusty's Racism Claims against Chicago Thread
Banedon replied to Outshined_One's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Ok, my geek is going to show here for a minute...my apologies in advance. The problem with that card is the italics. Any actual gameplay effects that a card has is in normal font. Anything in italics is just flavor text. If someone took the time to make that, they should have known better. -
If Soriano ends up being day to day, I think we'll see just what we saw tonight. DeRosa in LF and Fontenot at 2b. If Soriano goes on the DL, I think Murton will be called up and thrown into the mix. I don't think a trade or anything will happen unless it's a whole lot more serious than it looked to be. I think Murton will be in the mix too.
-
It's more than a pet peeve. It's stupid. And the only things that can possibly come out of it are a dropped catch or an injury. It's akin to an NFL player diving/flipping into the endzone when they could just walk in. It's akin to a player doing a 360 on a breakaway dunk when they could just 2 hand it in. It's still 2 points, 6 points, or 1 out.....no style points are given. I know people say that it's a habit that he can't break and what not, but that's BS...if that was the case, he would do the same thing when there's runners on, and he doesn't. He sets himself like a professional outfielder to make a throw home. Hell...if that's what it takes, then just pretend there's runners on every play.
-
I think I posted about this a while back, but it's looking more and more like Bloomington-Normal will get a minor league team. Sounds like we should know more by May 6.

Rays like Murt
Banedon replied to RedFlash's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Murton won't be going anywhere now. -
I've complained to my wife every time I see Soriano do that skip. It's so dumb. I'm not even sure why he does it. It's no great showoff feat to be able to catch a routine fly, which is the only time he does it. And now this. Hopefully this brings the skipping to an end. It was a personal pet peeve to me before, and now it's just dumb.
