  1. Losing the division to the Royals would suck.
  2. Now they're saying that it was really November of 2000, not 2001, before his 73 HR season.
  3. Proposed rule changes:
  4. And more off-topic matter: Hunter Hillenmeyer's stock tips
  5. Can I get the definition of "scrappy lawyer" from one of the lawyers or law students on the board? Are their wingtips covered in pinetar?
  6. In unrelated news, Edinger has signed a deal with the Rush.
  7. Lofton and Bruce both bat left-handed. How are they going to platoon? Lofton vs. all veterans, Bruce vs. all 1st or 2nd year pitchers.
  8. He's found himself in the right place at the right time quite often this season.
  9. But Burnitz brought us back to 0, so it all worked out. He sure did.
  10. The worst part about Sosa leaving early is that it left the Cubs -1.
  11. It was a full wind up and overhand baseball heave right into ABoya's face. It was certainly unnecessary.
  12. This is a cut and paste from previous years isn't it. After replacing "significantly misdiagnosed injury" with "surgery," yeah.
  13. Nope. Both Memorial Day and Labor Day were regular dates last year, not prime dates. There are only 5 non-prime dates after mid-May this year. Yes, 5. Last year there were 19. Of course, part of that is due to there only being 9 home games in September and 3 of those are a Cardinals weekend series, but last year there were even 2 value dates in September.
  14. I know Urlacher is expected to be able to participate in offseason workouts, but I'm getting worried about the linebacker corps.
  15. It sounds like Prior is recovering from the surgery about as quickly as anyone could have hoped for at this stage.
  16. Was labor day a prime game last year? http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/images/ticketing/581x39_sked_key_08.gif http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/images/ticketing/april_2008_481x349.gif http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/images/ticketing/may_2008_481x349.gif http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/images/ticketing/june_2008_481x349.gif http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/images/ticketing/july_2008_481x349.gif http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/images/ticketing/august_2008_481x349.gif http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/images/ticketing/september_2008_481x349.gif
  17. The refs always, ALWAYS, call offsides if it's that close and never give the benefit of the doubt to the attacking player. It never happens. When in doubt, the flag goes up. And all that was onsides were Dempsey's feet. His body was offsides albeit not by much. As for the referee letting the play continue, maybe he didn't look at the linesman until much later and maybe he blew his whistle while it was going on but nobody heard it - something that happened more than a couple times last night because of the noise. The refs didn't blow that game last night. Sure, there were a couple calls that were questionable and I didn't agree with a couple of the yellow cards but they didn't cause us to tie, Drew Moor did. EDIT: And I didn't mean to say Clint sucked, just that he didn't do much. That's not so much on him but on the team's attack in general which was pretty disappointing as a whole. On the replay they showed at halftime, you could see that the ref never looked at the linesman during the entire clip. He even signaled that it was a goal, which means that it wasn't called until probably 15-20 seconds after the flag went up.
  18. In terms of rankings? All I know about ESPN is that they have decent writeups of all of the commits. More than I would have expected, actually.
  19. It looks like the standard procedure.
  20. Disappointing effort.
  21. There's a reason you don't see the wave with 70,000 people in the US.
  22. Who on earth is this head official?
  23. Yes. That's a yellow...
