  1. There is a NY Post headline dying to coming out of this tweet.
  2. It's certainly set up to be his job, but he has literally done nothing that would indicate he should get it. Well, he has more than doubled his July OPS in August, but that is still below 600.
  3. Three botched shotgun snaps so far in practice today. No further explanation on whose fault it was. The guy who thought Garza was worth keeping.
  4. There isn't really a list of sports I've taken up watching besides the ones I watched when I was a kid, so it's tough to compare. The only team I care about now that I didn't as a kid is the USMNT, but that doesn't count since I'd root for any US-based team if I followed the sport they played. To me, becoming a fan of something is what happens when you are a kid, and then it just sticks with you. I can't really force myself to be a fan of a team. Those 7:45 games are the whole reason I got into the sport, since I was waking up with the baby already and needed something on in the background while she played.
  5. I think the Reed Johnson comps on Szczur could be fairly accurate. I don't think things would be horribly wrong if we wound up with a Reed type as a 4th OFer, but saying that-I figure Szczur has his major league career elsewhere. Reed Johnson comps? Sczur is 24 with a SLG way under .400 at AA. When Reed Johnson was a 24 year old in the Southern League he hit .314/.383/.451. Sczur may still have a major league career but he's more of a 25th guy on the roster than a 4th OF. I think a quality reliever is more valuable than a guy with Szczur's profile.
  6. It's also a very fast-paced league. Which is good for soccer fans, much less those new to the game. Watch EPL games and I'm pretty confident most sports fans would enjoy it and naturally start rooting for a team. I'm about 4 years into watching the EPL with regularity, and while I enjoy it, I've yet to really pick up rooting for any one team. I've followed Dempsey's teams a bit, and at any given time I've found myself rooting for or against a team, depending on the situation, but still no real team I follow and care about. Kind of awesome that it kicks off this week.
  7. Like any job, once you've established your value it's pretty easy to get time off. I imagine it is a priority for him when he negotiates his deal. He's not an up and comer or trying to impress his employer, or next employer. Peter King still bitches about a job that allows him months of vacation and millions in compensation, cutting into his time off.
  8. Let's not say anything we're going to regret. Ellett is pretty bad though, I was in the car for the Navarro collision and it was painful listening to him add details every 3 minutes while Keith filled the dead air with "at this point" ramblings. I'm not sure why Sirott wouldn't get these games. Is this Dave Eanet?
  9. what is this voice I am hearing on wgn radio?
  10. Not sure, I haven't seen the data. He could have an unreasonably low BABIP weighing down the numbers.
  11. I think he meant before he died.
  12. Mark Gonzales ‏@MDGonzales 12m Guerrier Neal Dl, boskin, sanchez on roster the new guy on the trib beat has multiple spellings for J.C. Boscan, who has been catching in Iowa and is apparently coming up.
  13. So Kim wants a threesome, right?
  14. David Haugh with a misguided column saying it is a mistake to compare McClellin to Watt, and unfair to expect him to be much more than a competent starter this season. What the hell is so unfair to expect your first round pass rusher to be really good in his second year? These guys don't get 4-5 years to establish themselves. He's either going to make an impact now or he probably never will. He's a defensive end, not a QB.
  15. Patrick Mooney ‏@CSNMooney 3m Matt Guerrier flying back to Chicago to get elbow examined by Cubs doctor. Eduardo Sanchez will rejoin team.
  16. Last night I dreamt that I was in my fantasy draft without the slightest bit of preparation. Pathetic dream.
  17. I assume you mean 10th in MLB and not just the NL.
  18. Well, Barney's drop is starting from a lower high end, he's got no ceiling and he turns 28 this offseason. Those other guys are younger, and in the case of Castro he plays a position that doesn't require as much offense as Barney's does.
  19. I cannot imagine that happening in a world where everybody knows the Cubs are acquiring any and all cheap labor they can get their hands on. If somebody was fooled enough into thinking this was sustainable, won't they have serious doubts once the Cubs think about dealing him?
  20. you should love yourself as passionately
  21. I find the notion that you care more about what people think of your school's football program than what they think of you absolutely fascinating. I mean it's hardly a unique phenomenon (most common among soccer hooligans and southerners), but it's just so bizarre. 1. Why would I care what anonymous internet jackasses think of me? Do you take this place that seriously that you are concerned how other posters view you? 2. I am not a southerner. I was born & raised in the Chicago suburbs. Why would you care what those anonymous internet jackasses think of AtM?
