    I was at that game and it was awweeesssoooommmeeee.

    I wasn't sure either, and a quick IMDb led me to find this move called "they came together". Looking at the cast, I can't believe I've never heard of it and this has to be the greatest movie ever.

    Wait, am I missing something or is that list missing Larson's game?

    Balls are pretty common. As for food, we always walked somewhere outside the hotel. No idea where the players/org people go.

    I don't see anything wrong with playing the best games from the previous season in the offseason, id watch that even if it came after a shitty Cubs season. The ridiculous part is how they are advertising it.

    Do you think he meant to go by dick love lad or is that just a typo?
  7. Thurman Merman
    Maybe I'm just missing something, but what is the inspiration behind that?

    It's been a long time since I've gone, but figure out what panels you want to go to and get there early.

    without being able to strike anybody out and with a lot of walks? I doubt it. Wade Davis in 2011 as a starter: 5.1 K/9, 3.1 BB/9 Wade Davis in 2012 as a reliever: 11.1 K/9, 3.7 BB/9 Chatwood last year: 7.3 K/9, 4.7 BB/9 Not saying he will become a closer, let alone a good one like Davis, but there is precedent for a mediocre starter with a middling K/BB rate to become a dominant reliever by increasing his K rate.

    Hopefully that throwing to the left problem improves. Clearly still an issue.

    That explanation by Fox is such horsefeathers. Literally the first time i saw a replay i said “geez i hope they don’t call that a touchback”. Yeah, especially since it just happened in another game only a couple weeks ago.
  12. Thurman Merman
    Yeah, it's infrequent enough to not complain but still happening nonetheless.
  13. Thurman Merman
    That's a clown move, bro.

    Isn't a Maddux a complete game shutout under 100 pitches?
  15. Thurman Merman
    That was like the first thing I noticed.

    I was at the first home game after 9-11 when sammy hit a homer and rounded the bases with the American flag. I also was on the rooftops when aRamis walked off on the same day rose evicerated the celtics. I was at an April cubs cards game where barrett hit a grands lam to give the cubs the sweep on sunday night. I also went to a shitty hot game against the pirates where jason marquis pitched and the cubs lost 3-0.

    I remember being at spring training 2014 and telling my wife just wait until you see this Baez dude, and then he didnt do anything that game. Last years coming out party in the division series was very satisfying, as Javy was pretty much my favorite dude in the minors, and the whole damn world got to see it.

    I can't believe that is only 68. God this past year was awesome.
  19. Thurman Merman
    Best case scenario IMO.

    I played left and center back through high school, and was always the guy who handled the headers off of goalie punts, especially in high school. I remember some of those late season games that it was so cold that the ball hitting your head felt like a rock. I think about those header competitions we used to have in practice and wonder what damage I did to myself. I don't notice any mental deficiency, but then I see those studies like that als one an wonder.

    Mine is probably Bones. Fringe was a step up from that show. I guess I could also say One Tree Hill, but no way, that show was the bees knees.
  22. Thurman Merman
    99 was definitely one of those games that stuck out, especially that rizzo double. Just felt really important at the time.

    Come on collusion. If I can't watch the bears give me chaos and the hottest of takes.

    So on the way home from christmas, I commented to my wife that it was weird I didn't get one cubs related thing, especially since when my mom asked what I wanted, I had mentioned the 8 disc Blu ray. I told my wife that since I didn't get that, I'll just go and buy it myself since it's the one thing I really wanted. The next day, my wife (after texting with my mom) tells me that my mom did indeed buy it, but it apparently didn't come in time for christmas. That's cool, I'll take it a little late, no big deal. However, that's apparently not what is going to happen. She said that my mom is thinking about saving it for my birthday present. Which is in July. So what do I do about this? Do I suck it up and wait, or do I tell her I want it now, birthday be damned? I love Christmas, but this is exactly why I hate getting presents, because without presents I would already have this and have watched it a million times.

    out of curiosity, if not beer, what's a beer related gift? Binnys gift card
