Fukudome on the Block
jersey cubs fan replied to Elwood's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
He's a guy who plays baseball, but not the definition of a baseball player. -
Eh, at this point I'm not sure I want them to win anymore. They are so far down, and back, and it's not like they've shown the slightest inclination to play better. Go for the draft pick and front office overhaul.
-
Hmm. It still doesn't feel like his cold streaks in the past. Perhaps because he is not failing in as many meaningful spots or due to the fact that so many have already called it a season that it's less magnified. Either way, Soriano seems to be headed in the right direction these past few games. Other than an incredibly stupid baserunning error. Over the last 28 days he has a 663 OPS, although the past week has been much better. He also started the season slowly, so he's had the slow spots, and it's still only June.

Re: NHL (Blackhawks included) offseason thread
jersey cubs fan replied to Prizefight's topic in Other Sports
I've been pushing a Byfuglien trade since last year's playoff run elevated his perceived value, but I never thought they'd end up with a 1st/2nd for him and get rid of other money. I am a little sad to see him go, but it had to happen. Now I would really like to see them deal Versteeg. -
This team is reaching levels of bad that I never thought possible. A Cubs fan couldn't possibly say that with a straight face. I never thought this particular Cubs team would be this bad.

He is dead wrong saying versteeg is more valuable -
Giving up a HR to Seattle is pretty bad.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-23-10
jersey cubs fan replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Possibly due to the small sample size and number of crappy has beens or never will bes that hang out in AAA. His limited stuff is good enough to get out non-elite hitters, but not to get out the best. Maybe? There are "crappy has beens" in MLB too, not to mention all the AAAA players and defensive specialists. It's not like his numbers in AAA are just okay. Heck, if the walks were down just a bit his WHIP would be under 1. I know people hate Shark, but I'm just saying. I don't think crappy has beens in the majors compare to the crappy has beens in AAA. -
Penalty shootout, I think. But I'm just a newb as well and could be wrong. My fifa world cup game had me play two 15 minute overtime periods, then I'm guessing it would have gone to penalty shots.

The Robin Roberts sound alike analyst was completely worthless breaking down that replay. "Well, here's the ball here..."
-
Do they carry over from round of 16, to semis? Thus making you miss final?
-
On a related note, tweets containing "USA" spiked to 6% of total tweet volume.

Howard gratefully claims it distribution brilliant there are things on here for the usa
-
I have no idea where it says, all I know is that the announcer said FIFA decreed years ago that the benefit of the doubt in such a situation should go to the attacking player.
-
As I said before, take it up with Nate Silver, whose statistical models agreed with me at the time. Nate Silver's statistical models for these games are incredibly meaningless.
-
Look, we can re-argue the same argument we had after the first game, in which I still feel perfectly comfortable that I was right. Or we can argue that the result sort of happening proved that the result wasn't unlikely, which we both know isn't true. Either way, I don't think you guys have any new arguments, so what's the point of going on about it? At the time, the U.S. getting a point against England did not significantly change their chances of advancement, which still almost entirely depended on the other two matches. Unless you have some new arguments, because the ones that have been made haven't swayed me, then it's probably best to let it go. People don't have new points to make because there's really no need, you don't make any sense.
-
So even in a situation that was unlikely at the time (England goes into a scoring slump), it's 75% that they go through without the tie (50% of it's 1-0, 100% if it's 2-1). I stand by it: That tie was unlikely at the time to make a difference in advancement out of the group stage. Seems like a pretty stupid stance you're taking here.
-
ESPN did a pretty clear analysis of the play with their axis thingamajig showing that it was onsides. The foot was even with the defender while the body was behind. And considering all 3 parties involved were stationary (both players and the linesman), I don't know how that's missed. At worsts it's even and the benefit of the doubt should go to the US. http://www.sporza.be/permalink/1.809185 Stop it at 18 seconds whit the line graphics on, then reread my post. If this had been an Algerian goal, you'd be calling blue murder using my argument. I still say this one can get called either way. Slit second decision by the linesman that doesn't look obviously wrong even with the benefit of technology. The announcer said FIFA said calls should give benefit of the doubt to attacking player, so if the call could go either way, as you say, doesn't that mean it should be not called offsides?
-
If England had scored at the end to beat us 2-1, and all other results stay the same, we still move on. But if they lose 1-0? Also, if England wins that game, who knows how they play this game and who knows how Slovenia does here.
-
If form holds, I look forward to Kyle's my bad regarding the unimportance of the tie vs England. A potential matchup v Uruguay or South Korea to get to the semi's? Yes please. You won't be getting one, because I clearly and explicitly said that it didn't change their chances of advancement to the second round, not that it didn't improve their chances of getting a better draw if they did get in. So that point didn't end up making a difference?

Yes, in the absence of escorts. Escorts escort you into buildings, and leave on their own.
