  1. That's Javy. Bryant knows who all the people are and addresses them with a smile, a firm handshake and their full name.
  2. No bones allowed mcrib Is a McRib. you are right, my apologies
  3. Replace a ham and cheese with turkey and you have the same issue. Explain. You're still dealing with a sandwich either way; you've just shifted the filler. Replace a hot dog with something else in a hot dog bun and it's no longer a hot dog. The only distinction there is the unnecessary choice to refer to a hot dog specifically as a hot dog. If you ask for a hot dog and I say here's your sandwich it's still a hot dog, just like if you ask for a ham and cheese and I say here's your sandwich, it's still a ham and cheese. Have we gotten into the issue of whether you run out of bread but have hot dog buns? I've made peanut butter and jelly, ham and cheese, and all sorts of other things on a hot dog bun due to the hot dog vs hot dog bun packaging differential. Doesn't change what I'm eating.

  5. looks like they are chipping away at the base.
  6. it doesn't say that I completely missed the "pitch" in that tweet and read it as "no intentional walks." My bad, but I like the rule. The intentional walk is stupid, just let the guy have 1B if you want to walk him. I feel the opposite. Make them throw the pitches. They still can throw a wild pitch (or the hitter can swing at the occasional pitch too close to the strike zone). If the data shows that nothing interesting happens 99% of the time, I would rather they just let the guy take the base. One thing this would eliminate is the stupidity of a move I've always hated, bringing in a reliever from the bullpen and having him intentionally walk the first guy he sees, especially a guy with control issues. The Cubs did this a few times years ago and I got all hot and bothered by it.
  7. I assume they detached the feet from the bottom.
  8. When the Cubs were run by people that thought this was the right way to play, this worried me. Now it just means it is possible idiots will feel vindicated and keep on idioting.
  9. Replace a ham and cheese with turkey and you have the same issue.
  10. http://deadspin.com/tbs-baseball-crew-re-creates-boom-goes-the-dynamite-h-1640844959 Come for the dynamite parody, stay for Pedro's creepy look at the end.
  11. No, it is not. Nor is it the main ingredient. It is a means to an end except in the very rare instances when you actually have amazing bread.
  12. The WR who has been up and down from the practice squad all year.
  13. Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs · 3m3 minutes ago Chris Williams will finally get shot in return game. #Bears promote him from practice squad and place Rashad Ross on waivers.
  14. my feed won't stay for more than a minute or two. anything more specific on this?
  15. Maybe I'm underestimating what Shields'll get. Related note - I wonder how the Yankees are going to handle this offseason. With understated grace, no doubt.
  16. That suit really brings out the change in Theo's hair color.
  17. I was 16 and the pitcher abuse thing wasn't as prevalent as it was now (and I wasn't on any message boards like this one), so I didn't notice until Prior and Wood started getting hurt all the time and people started bringing it up retroactively as the reason. Retroactively my ass.
  18. I'm not getting caught up in hoping for 2, let alone expecting it.
  19. Explain Saying they bought the hangover, and not the party, implying he's been the responsible one cleaning up everybody else's mess and making things right after the wild and crazy MacPhail, McDonough, Hendry and Kenney era. There was a big NYT feature on the Ricketts family recently and a person I work with, who has a personal history with Ricketts, told me it was very off putting.
  20. Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc · 3m3 minutes ago Kris Versteeg is back on the ice during #Blackhawks practice. Tracey Myers ‏@TramyersCSN · 3m3 minutes ago Versteeg still on the bench here. Q asks if he's OK and back on the ice he goes. #Blackhawks
  21. Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc · 13s12 seconds ago Kris Versteeg is in pain at #Blackhawks practice. Ended up in a heap along boards after a rush. Staying on the bench.
  22. I've been a huge proponent of these WC play-in games, but I do not like that they are staggered and as a result the NL series don't start until Friday. Seems to me that staggered starting times for both games on Tuesday would work, then Wednesday is for the series not involving WC teams and Thursday is for the #1/WC matchups.
  23. Looking at the programs you mentioned, the common theme seems to be poor coaching decisions in the face of a variety of circumstances. Tennessee and Texas had long established coaches who were more or less forced out due to fan/booster pressure, with inadequate replacements coming in. Penn State had the opposite issue, with Paterno overstaying his usefulness (scandal aside). USC had some mediocre years, but even when they were going 7-5, they were beating good teams and not losing by 5 scores like Michigan is. I'm not sure what the heck AD's at these schools are doing, but there is really no excuse for a blue blood program to settle for anything less than the elite coaching options available to them. Rolling the dice on an up and comer or settling for a guy with school-ties is a little dumbfounding. That said, the fans are as fickle as ever. They're already turning on Urban Meyer here in Columbus. Elite coaching options aren't as cut and dried of a category as you make it appear.
  24. Will you find it hard to get excited about a FA pitcher until the Cubs actually sign one, or you will not be excited even after they sign one for some irrational "money wasting" phobia?
