    After reading that I feel kinda bad for the guy. I hate playing the "hindsight" game, but I was just looking at the 2001 draft and seeing the names that were drafted after Terrell. It's like that every year for every team, but still...

    Is that Frank Drebin behind the plate!?
  3. Pushfrog98
    And yet the guv'ment wants my guuuuuns!? Also, that wouldn't work as a good security system for me. "Home protected by mid-50mph heater with varying levels of accuracy."

    After doing the math...IMO you won't win that argument... from 1988 to 2012 the cubs have outspent the cardinals about $1,584,000,000 to the cards $1,441,000,000 a difference of $143,000,000...which is less than the cubs highest payroll in 2010 ($146Mill) granted...on average we're talking about $66million to the cards $60million for a quarter century that saw massive change in player salary Most the cards have spent was 2012 with $110Mill your dumb cardinal friend is right in the fact that, as player salaries continued to spike to silly levels between the late 80's to present, the cubs went with the program about as much as any team did by nearly doubling payroll between 02' and 03'...we've spent more than the cardinals record $110 in 4 of the past 5 seasons and last year we dropped in payroll for obvious reasons... $6,000,000 gets you a damn good player when you look at the past quarter century trends of player salaries...we've overspent by 1 expensive season($146M difference 1988-2012) I hope you didn't take the bait left by your cards friend...you're smarter than that, aren't you? My argument was that aside from the mid 2000's spending frenzy, the Cubs and Cardinals have always had very similar payrolls.

    Head-to-head or what? It was more of the same old "Cubs suck. Always have. Always will. And the Cardinals have always done it with a fraction of the payroll." type of idiotic argument.

    Not 20 years, but goes back to 2000. Just click on whatever team(s) you want to check out. What's the argument, if I may ask? http://www.baseballprospectus.com/compensation/cots/ Someone was going on about how the Cardinals have dominated the Cubs, even though the Cubs have always significantly outspent the Cardinals, to the point that there is no rivalry. The Cardinals only rival now is the Reds. I wanted to make sure my initial thought (that the Cubs and Cardinals have had very similar payrolls until recently) was correct.

    Is there a way to quickly/easily look up overall team payroll for the last 20 years for various teams? I'd like to be able to compare some numbers for an argument I'm about to launch myself into on Facebook. I'm kind of bored today.
  12. Pushfrog98
    Yeah, I have problems with run differential without context. If we blow someone out like 20-0, but lose the next 9 games by 1 run, we'd still have a +11 run differential, but we'd be 1-9, right?

    My sophomoric humor kicked in and I laughed pretty hard at the fact this town name exists. I'm not proud of myself. It's ok. I lived down the road from Effingham for the last 10 years, and I still laugh and make the same "Want some Effing Eggs with your Effingham?" jokes. I'm almost positive I saw this kid pitch last year. If it's the same guy, he was dealing.

    So is Grant Hill.

    Agreed. I freaking love the Pirates Painter's Cap.
  17. Pushfrog98
    Ok, it seems to only happen when I'm at work... so I'm guessing it's my network.
  18. Pushfrog98
    Thanks. I was searching "scuffle" not "scrum".
  19. Pushfrog98
    Anyone have video of this scuffle?
  20. Pushfrog98
    i was checking out the letsgowings forum earlier and was a little disappointed by the schadenfreude material. this makes up for it History has shown that they win at some point after losing.

    Beltre is awesome.
  23. Pushfrog98
    Brian Schneider and Roy Campanella?
  24. Pushfrog98
    And the Sox would be winning if they scored more runs than the Cubs.

    A guy on the other side of my cubicle is a White Sox fan, I'm not paying attention to the game, and he just blurts out, "WHY THE [expletive] WOULD YOU PITCH TO NAVARRO AGAIN!?"
