    This game sucks.

    I figured Lou put Theriot in front of Marquis to try and have somebody with a good OBP in front of one of our best hitters. :wink: That would be especially splendid of a move had Soriano's power not completely fallen off the face of the Earth.

    Dear Derrek Lee, Time to start hitting homeruns buddy. Thx.

    if hancock wasn't drunk and the tow truck driver/driver was negligent, would you be ok with suing them? Perhaps, but I see no negligence in this circumstance. well, if a guy on the internet who read a couple articles about it doesn't see any negligence then why even have a trial? Is the condescension necessary? I was respectfully replying my opinion, and never once said the trial shouldn't take place. I've read more than a couple of articles and have seen the video. You could be an adult and present some sort of thoughtful analysis as to why the driver would be negligent, or you can just insult another person for absolutely no reason whilst shielded by the anonymity of the internet. Your choice.

    you have no idea what you're talking about. like it or not, if these parties were negligent and if their negligence contributed to his death, they're going to be held responsible. i don't know why that's so hard to understand and why everyone thinks it's so unfair. If you truly think that the owner of the stalled car should be held responsible, than you are seriously delusional. What's the legal precedent for a finding of negligence stemming from abandoning a vehicle in the left hand lane of a highway? I don't know, and I feel pretty comfortable assuming that you don't, either. The vehicle wasn't abandoned, and there was no shoulder on the highway, meaning there was no other place for the driver to go. The tow-truck driver had very recently arrived on the scene prior to Josh Hancock slamming into the back of it. Are we really suggesting that the tow truck driver should have been behind his vehicle placing flairs and triangles? If so, he would be dead too. Awesome.

    What does Marshall top out at?

    Both of the actors involved in this saga are complete and utter buffoons. They deserve what ever happens to them.

    Managers = +/- 5 wins/losses GM = difference between 90 wins and 90 losses. You do the math.

    When you have a monkey like Hendry running the show what do you expect? Time to clear house. I don't think clearing will suffice. We've got to burn the mother down. the only thing that keeps it close to not being a lost cause is the fact the NL central is playin just as bad right now Except the pathetic Cards just swept the Pirates...we can't let the cards overtake us...we just cant.... :( :( :pale: :pale: Oh we will.

    But here's the issue: Is the slice you get off a right-handed bat to rightfield inherently different than the hook you get off a left-handed bat to rightfield? Seems to me that in each instance the bat will impart clockwise sidespin on the ball, causing it to tail toward the foulline. By the same token, both LH and RH hitters impart counterclockwise sidespin on balls they hit to LF. If I'm right about all of this, then there's no differentiating LF from RF on the basis of ball trajectory issues. Conversely, if hooking (pulled) balls behave differently (less tailing action, to be specific) than slicing (opposite field) balls, then your theory's got legs. Just a general observation, but I think everytime a LH batter hits a ball the spin will be counter clockwise, and RH batters will always generate a clockwise spin. A pulled, hard hit would generate less spin, but not a reverse spin. I could be wrong, but I can't picture a situation where a RH batter hits a ball that generates counterclockwise spin. Theoretically, a circle-change or a screwball which have clockwise spins approaching home plate would conceivably cause this. A 10-4 curveball delivered by a left-hander would do this as well, to a lesser extent.

    I could care less if he is suing for 3 bucks. It is the principal that is disgusting. Suing the frekain tow truck driver and the owner who called the tow truck? Gee, if my car ever breaks down god forbid I call a tow truck because some drunk moron could hit it and kill himself. And that would be 100% my fault, because you know, you have to consider that right. :roll: you have a fantastic understanding of the law. What are you talking about? The only person who broke the law was Josh Hancock. The law may allow for pointless lawsuits that attempt to shift the blame, but that doesn't make it right. His dad can file suit against anyone for anything, but any judge with his/her head on their shoulders is going to pimp slap this into the circular file.

    OH please, give me a break. What an absurd post. Who is acting like that? Seriously, ridiculous. I'm acting like a dumbass irresponsible idiot endangered many lives and killed himself, and a father wants to try and blame others and make some money at the same time. That's what's happening right here.

    I see a guy trying to profit off his son's death. Probably doing the same things he did when his son was alive, by blaming others for his kids' failings. so the bar shouldn't be held accountable for their negligence? What?

    I pounded my fist into the floor, to the enjoyment of the hot female Sox fan next to me. Lou better get his... stuff... together. I'm throwing him under the bus for now.
  17. seanimal
    Actually, yes. He said in an interview earlier this season he wears the stirrups in homage to his dad. I like to think it's in honor of my LL years.

    Certainly Hendry is to blame for the construction of these teams, the Trib can share some blame and Rothschild has had mixed results at best. But let's not let Dusty or Lou off the hook just because they had a "proven" track record elsewhere (i.e. riding on the coattails of better teams - better teams that covered up their deficiencies). And who's responsible for those better teams? Aren't managers only on the hook for +/- 5 or so wins/losses a year according to Bill James? The stadium argument is ludicrous IMO, as the Cubs and their opponents share every advantage and disadvantage equally at best. In reality, it probably figures in the Cubs' favor. Poorly constructed teams are poorly constructed teams, and for the most part of the last 98 years, that is what the Cubs have been, sprinkled with some bad 'luck'.

    I'm impressed by these journals. His head really seems to be in the right place.

    Good man. I was a huge fan of those teams, family from Cleveland and all.

    8 HR's FTW

    When Izturis, Derosa, Jones, and Floyd are not getting AB's. In other words, years from now.

    I don't see anyone going with the upcoming sale, but hopefully the new owner cleans house when they step in. +8

    His baserunning is HOF stuff, i just cant tell you what those letters stand for on a family friendly board. So sick of seeing him get thrown out and doing stupid stuff on the basepaths (him and Jones for that matter). I thought for sure he was gone when the catcher thru behind him at first in the 6th or 7th after his horrifically stupid play in the 5th. Definitely graduated the Moises Alou academy of baserunning. You can have a perfect OBP but it doesnt account for bumpkin if you act like a pumpkin (head) on base. But he's AGGRESSIVE and has a DIRTY UNIFORM!
