    Apples and oranges. MSG was a name carried to multiple sites, but the Polo Grounds, in all incarnations, was always located at the base of Coogan's Bluff. That's not apples and oranges, it's more like Granny Smith and Red Delicious. The Yankee Stadium that was recently torn down was more original than the 50 year old dump that was torn down in the 60's.

    This is only true depending on the type of team you have. The Hawks, who can score 5-6 goals a game could be ok without an elite goalie but the Canadiens for example, would have been gone in round one. Sure, a great goalie can push an otherwise mediocre-to-bad team deep into the playoffs. Without him there's no way the 8 seed gets that far. But that's different from saying you need an elite goalie to win. A goalie who wins a Stanley Cup is going to make lots of money, but the team that signs a goalie who has won a Stanley Cup is probably going to be overpaying for that accomplishment.

    I'm still amused by Pittsburgh's loss last night. People obsessed with playoff goaltending over and above all else have insisted guys like Fleury can be counted on to get the job done while for some reason Niemi can't. Fleury had some sort of really good record after a playoff loss, which my friend kept repeating to me when explaining how important he is. But when your team goes to back to back finals and wins one, they aren't going to have too many back to back losses anyway.

    Is it really messing with him? I don't see the big deal.

    In the Cubs eyes he's definitely a starter. It remains to be seen where he winds up in the majors, and not just in terms of how he breaks in. He has definitely done everything right, however, in making the transition to starter so far.

    No it wasn't. Just because they gave multiple venues the same name doesn't mean it was the same venue. Similarly, Madison Square Garden isn't the same Madison Square Garden from history.

    The most important person to fire is Hendry, but you might as well let Lou go with him and have the new GM start fresh.
  8. jersey cubs fan
    You should be banned for saying anything positive about Hendry even though the "trade" of Bradley for Silva plus Byrd has to be the most one-sided trade in decades. Lol you are a piece of work I'm glad you understand my point of blaming Hendry for everything that's wrong, but not giving him credit for what turns out right. It doesn't matter how right any individual trade was, the team is crap. GMs puts together a team, he's had 8 years to put them together, and in 8 years time the team is barely over .500. If Jim's teams won 90 games a year, there would be no reason to bash him. Unfortunately, they don't, because he sucks.

    That would be excellent. Not for me. Supposed to be at a graduation party for a friend a couple hours away that day. I suppose I could be an [expletive] and make them put the game on. But as usual, I'm the only hockey fan among these people. Or I could beg off and really piss off my wife. It's actually her friend. Um, it's the western conference finals, you would be an expletive if you didn't put the game on. That shouldn't even be a debate in your head.

    espn stats says 2 in 5 games.

    Whoever mentioned that Ron sounds much worse this year, I have to agree. He's lost, and Pat isn't even teasing him about his mistakes like he always used to, which tells me he's aware that Ron is losing it.

    Context? One man shot another man after his dog peed on the shooter's lawn. what would have been more appropriate? "Urinated"? tinkled Generally speaking US news outlets don't say pee, they would say urine. I'm not offended or anything just don't think I've heard that word by newspeople before.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    On a similar note, this article includes a line I doubt you'd see in most US papers Most papers I read don't even allow the word "sucks" to appear in print. The self censorship is fairly prude.

    the news update guy just said "pee" on the radio. I don't think I've ever heard that.

    What was the big deal about a decrepit vacant dump being torn down for housing projects?

    this game is now?

    There probably isn't anything else worth discussing, which is why there is no point in making this in the first place, and really no point in all the obsession with the history and poetry and mythology and general nonsensery of baseball's history.

    It used to be a bit more than that back in the Jack Brickhouse era. There was always an interview on the show, just like there was back then on the Lead-Off Man show. And guests received a nice little watch for appearing.

    I always got fooled into watching the 10th inning show as a kid, but it was nothing but commercials and 5 second segments of Harry reminding us what the score was.
