  1. And it has the awful Muse song playing over and over and over. I get ultra smug over this because I liked Muse in the small window when they actually were good and then got out immediately when they showed signs of jumping the shark (their new album is complete [expletive]) and now they're huge and overexposed and I get to be a pretentious ass about it
  2. there should be no doubt in anyones mind that he'll shut down the cubs though
  3. At least he hired a Jew, I trust one of my people to handle the numbers well
  4. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH why must every manager seem to have one player that is so so so bad, but they can't help but love and play so damn often? Why must there always be a Nick Punto, an Aaron Miles, a Koyie Hill?
  5. Lou did the whole "have Zambrano bat for himself and then pull him in the next inning" thing and its never gotten any less dumb Get ready to see Sandberg call for bunts, hit and runs and steals galore Its gonna be awesome. If 2010 is our letdown year a la 2005, get ready for 2006 redux next year
  6. This was the first game I was able to see in person in more than a year, pretty much the lamest game I could have seen for that matter. Oh well, won a beer from my buddy when I bet that someone would hit a home run (Thank you Colvin!) and thats about it. Poor Derrek Lee. Also, jesus christ, Lou, bringing Z out to bat for himself was one of the [expletive] dumbest things I've ever seen someone pull.
  7. so someone who is more in the know on this, does this put us closer or further away from playoff in college football or is it completely meaningless this is most of what I care about also it'll be weird seeing Nebraska play Illinois in the regular season (we'll get [expletive] rocked)
  8. The MWC is now officially a stronger conference than the Big East and the ACC, they should get an automatic bid to the BCS I really like the Nebraska move to the Big Ten (though i would have also liked the assumed accompanying Mizzou move, always thought they'd fit in well) mostly because now we get to see them get curbstomped by whoever's in charge of the Big Ten every year, railed by Penn State, humiliated by Ohio State, even teams like Wisconsin and Michigan State will feast off of them. No more hiding in the Big 12 North. Too bad Illinois will still probably get embarrassed for another 10 years.
  9. a series we should have swept we intstead lost, nice job cobs
  10. Nats announcers rule they are the biggest homers in the world for a pretty bad team (but its getting better!)
  11. Good, Dunn and Willingham putting Strasburg back in line for the win I need more K's, feed me more K's
  12. wait what how is Ted Lilly 1-5 with that ERA good god the Cubs are terrible
  13. If you weren't on this bandwagon when they signed Adam Dunn and then next year signed the corpse of Pudge Rodriguez and Jason Marquis, to go along with Ryan Zimmerman Well, then you're doing this whole "baseball" thing wrong
  14. having pretty bad luck with RISP and having extraordinary blackholes instead of 'regular' black holes a .500 OPS is really much much much worse than 650-700 OPS from a slumping Aramis if he could just advance his ability to "really bad" instead of "monumentally awful" we'd be much better Derrek Lee sucks, Theriot refuses to walk or hit for extra bases, Byrd doesn't walk and is slumping with Castro now I dunno I guess the devil is in the details here Soriano is having a good year. :)
  15. this is how you're gonna introduce Cashner, in a one run game with runners on? I feel bad for the guy I have absolutely no problem with him platooning players that have shown extreme platoon splits, we've gotten the best production out of both Fontenot and Fukudome this way so yeah, i don't
  16. ahahahahahahahahahahahahahh Come on Cedeno, put in the dagger
  17. Aramis Ramirez has officially dropped FOUR HUNDRED POINTS off his OPS from the last like 5 years
  18. Aramis Ramirez with a runner in scoring position, hold on ter yer butts
  19. Why can' t we score runs against the Pirates, they aren't good at pitching
  20. trade Carlos Silva, cut Bob Howry, go with 6 starters
  21. I hate all the stupid midgets on the Cardinals whose only job is bloop my team to death Brendan Ryan, Skip Schumacker, Nick Stavinoha They are all absolutely terrible, and all they do is bloop to oblivion
  22. hmmm It'd be cool if we could take one game from these guys
  23. Baker's too busy playing 3rd because our regular 3rd basemen can't sniff a 600 OPS
  24. Wait, this is wonderful. I want to see an old school 14-10 game with horrible interceptions and misplays, thats what football is about damnit, don't try to convince me otherwise
