    I've long suspected as much, not just in MLB but all other sports. Officials decide before a game that the only way a team less talented or one that has a losing record or otherwise "sucks" can't make good plays without cheating. So they end up looking for crap to call against said "sucky" team, while favoring the "good" team.

    Z's Promise

    3Dog replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    IIRC, Z was throwing in the high-90s when he pitched Games 1 and 5 of the 2003 NLCS. So personally I'd prefer it if he threw in the low 90s!

    I'd rather have Murton and his questionable glove in RF instead of Jones.

    Bruce "Little Hitler" Froemming has had a long vendetta against the Cubs, going all the way back to 1972 when he screwed Milt Pappas out of a perfect game. And on top of that, he is the epitome of the arrogant union worker that believes he can get away with whatever he wants because his mile-wide derriere has protection. But I suppose if I looked liked Billy Barty with an out-of-control goiter I'd be walking around with a chip on my shoulder.

    Are you telling me Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball? He always got crossed up.

    DePodesta left LA on bad terms, vilified by the press and hated by the fans. One of the heavyweights in the LA media at the time (literally, I might add) labeled him "Stupidesta". But here's a different spin on why DePo struggled and why he was canned (from Wiki): After the hugely successful season in 2004, the 2005 season resulted in the team's worst record since 1992 and second worst since moving to Los Angeles in 1958, mostly attributable to bad luck and injuries. On October 29, 2005, Dodgers owner Frank McCourt fired DePodesta, citing his desire to see the club win and that DePodesta had not met those expectations. Reports surfaced that the real reason McCourt had fired DePodesta was his inability to find satisfactory managerial candidates to replace Jim Tracy. He was later replaced by Ned Colletti. Some have speculated that McCourt fired DePodesta in response to media criticism from T.J. Simers and Bill Plaschke, who were vehemently "anti-Moneyball" and referred to DePodesta as "Google Boy." Plaschke was always DePodesta's biggest critic, despite the Dodgers' resurgence.

    Sosariano Ks. Jeezus, what a horrible signing.

    Hard to dispute Baker's reputation as a pitcher abuser - first Wood and Prior, now Eyre and Howry (and maybe Zambrano).

    Can we just forfeit the rest of the year and move directly onto hiring a new owner and GM?

    Way to go up there heroically hacking away, you sucks.

    Nice swing by ARam, flying out weakly on a pitch at his shoetops.

    No disputing the bullpen sucks, but tonight Lou had the opportunity to use those new, young "power arms" he's been boasting about and he STILL went with Howry to start the 8th. So for tonight, Lou sucks.

    Barret should of had that it wasnt Guzmans fault Guzman still gave up the walk to reload the bases and now the tieing and winning runs.
  15. 3Dog
    Lou's an idiot for not starting the inning with Guzman to begin with. Howry sucks, and by waiting until the bases are loaded with nobody out to bring in the young kid is just asking for trouble (wild pitch, walk to reload the bases).

    I hear he throws a high-velocity changeup, too.

    Elisha Cuthbert, PrimeTime?

    Steve Stone is a very smart man. That and Jim Hendry is a complete idiot. Steve Stone is the reason we choked down the stretch in 2004. Just ask Dusty Baker and Kent Mercker. Nice to see that Stone is still in Chicago while those two are (pretty much) out of baseball completely. I wish Stone was still in the booth along with Chip. I wonder if the new owners will keep Len and Bob or go with a new announcing team...could we see the return of Stoney?

    I think they call it 'Cubbie swagger' The organization has for ages valued physical tools and hollow statistics over quantifiable skills, therefore they bring in players from other clubs who fit this mold (Pierre, Soriano, Jacque).

    Problem with the Cubs has been that they're historically a "take what the pitcher gives us" offense. Forget about them showing enough discipline and selectiveness to force a good pitcher into making mistakes and them capitalizing on it. They're strictly at the mercy of the pitcher's margin of error - and if that margin is less than wide, it's gonna be a long night.

    Me swing hard, and if me miss ball then me swing harder!

    How is he continually taken out in the 4th? I believe Bruno is theorizing here. He's saying that if Guzman was left in the rotation then by the middle innings he'd get leg cramps and have to come out.

    WHAT IS THE PRIMARY MAIN OBJECTIVE?!?!? is it anything like one's "special purpose"? "No Star Fleet personnel may interfere with the healthy development of alien life and culture." Live Long and Prosper!

    "Tip your cap to them" = "losing is acceptable".

    A question about NTCs...do they prohibit the front office from trading the player to ANY club at all, or do they just limit the choices of teams that the player can be traded to?
