  1. sure, go ahead. But let's not pretend that isn't the way Andy and Jim wanted it. Neither of those goobers would have been pressing for upgraded servers. I did see an interesting perspective that the size of the Cubs front office people-wise worked against Hendry. Having limits on scouting personnel hurt him as much as a lack of analytics infrastructure would hurt Theo's front office if it weren't built. Not that they'd be comparable performance-wise if both got what they wanted, but it's something I had never really thought about. Jim and Andy set up the entire front office in the 90's. They constructed the thing. They couldn't fit 100 people in their office but their scouts were all in the field and they were all about seeing and not computin'. I'm sure it was allowed to rot from the mid 2000s when Andy paved his way out the door by handing Hendry a going away contract, but it's not like they did anything from the mid-90s to that point to keep up with the Joness.

  3. I see sort of what you're referring to, but I don't really see it. Unless it's just the fact that they cut away both times. I didn't notice it in person. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/94951848/v522290583/stlchc-gm3-bryant-rips-a-tworun-homer-to-left/?query=bryant http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/10/this-fa ... s-glorious well, he is white

  5. Is there a video that shows this? I saw some mention of it at the time, but most of the video I've seen doesn't linger on him because the home run was a laser beam. This is almost certainly not true, and probably the biggest reason(or close to it) that Sammy isn't part of any ceremonial stuff, especially in the playoffs. Crane Kenney or Ricketts may have an irrational beef with Sammy, but so do thousands of Cubs fans who Kenny/Ricketts aren't interested in giving the opportunity to boo Sammy during a moment that is meant to be fluffy PR and happy for everyone. There is no way they fail to have a huge ovation prior to a huge NLCS game. It would be enormous. The idiots who feel wronged will be too stunned to muster a loud boo, and those decent folk that appreciate what he did/was will burst with applause. Either way TBS won't bother airing anything.
  6. they weren't all BS, and they were hit against guys taking a lot of the same stuff.
  7. well instead of one day game, they're now getting two... not a huuuuge difference, especially with the last one is "if necessary". 3 referencing weekdays games, but point taken. is there a huge difference in viewership for saturday day games vs. saturday night games? and how meaningful is the difference? probably not as big of a difference as weekday but there has to be some difference. Plus these guys go night/day/night/day/day/night/night. That's annoying if I care about watching either team.

  9. It's not even accurate anymore, right? They were saying that the person who made one of the earlier posts in our thread sounded like a serial killer. That's probably a pretty fair assessment.
  10. you can edit it yourself
  11. http://deadspin.com/kyle-schwarber-was-once-a-high-school-show-choir-stud-1736920341 Schwarber was always Broadway bound.
  12. Fox would be pretty upset if they had to take a back seat in every cross over game.
  13. No. There are no expectations. They left it open when they announced the injury but there is as much reason to believe he's done as there is that he will return for any notable amount of games.
  14. There are duel games on Tuesday and Wednesday, but game 5 is Thursday and that is the only scheduled game so there is no way in hell it starts earlier than primetime.
  15. Do you wanna know how douchey Mets fan are? I was at the Victor Diaz game where Dusty did everything he could to screw up the bullpen. This one douchebro was yelling, at the Mets, the entire game. He was disgusted by Piazza in particular and just relentlessly went after him and all the rest the entire game. This was relatively close the Mets dugout and late in a completely lost Mets season so it was quiet and the team definitely heard. Most of the Mets fan in the area were disgusted by this guy. They hated him. They were just there to spend a nice little September Saturday at the park. Well, 9th inning comes around and douchebro is still giving it to the Mets and everybody still hates him and then Diaz hits the homerun and douchebro turns on a dime to celebrate and all these fans that hated this guy suddenly turned into douchebro and had the time of their lives with him. Yankees fans are arrogant pricks who have mostly accomplished nothing in their own lives and they tend to live beyond their means to keep up appearances of being successful. Mets fans on the other hand just want to be able to act like Yankees fan. They aspire to live beyond their means and gloat about how great their lives are going but deep down they know they have none of the confidence needed to pull it off.
  16. I hadn't. What did he/say do to indicate this? I'm out of the loop on this one. In a nutshell, He said that he something along the lines of...he doesn't agree with the gay lifestyle but that doesn't mean he would not accept and get to know a gay person. He is a devout Christian and is of the viewpoint that homosexuality is wrong, but says that one should dislike the action but still love the person. It was much more condescending treat them like something lesser doublespeak that is typical of ignorant bible beating homophobes.
  17. These postseason shirts are hideous. Cubs were too
  18. Fat man in a little shirt.
  19. Wait, Daniel Murphy is a met, isn't he?
