    But the point is he was hyped as top ten in places based on the intangibles, which were completely erased with the hoax story. It was stupid to hype him like that before, but it is not stupid to have this hoax exposed. The 40 reiterated that while he was a nice college linebacker, he's not a physical stud deserving of some of the praise he received before. He can be a solid player.

    I didn't notice the post between, about kits and whatnot. I'm not a fan of those forced futbolisms myself, but that's not what I was referring to in my other post and don't compare to the other ways people talk stupidly about futbol.

    Describing little white guys as gritty grinders is the language of the game but it's no less stupid.

    I think it's a bit annoying how many people are saying how great this is, when really it's only great for a select handful of teams. It's great for one division, the NY/NJ/PA teams, DET and CBS and probably CAR, who go from a bunch of nondescript rivals to a bunch of big name ones. Chicago kind of gets screwed by losing a rival and gaining none, as opposed to Detroit losing Chicago but gaining others. The time zone thing is a concern, but these aren't people with 9-5 jobs who have to wake up at the same early time every morning and get their kids ready to school after a rough business trip. And half the league still has to deal with much more substantial travel than the other half. I don't think the plan is horrible, but I don't get the universal praise I've seen based almost exclusively on making life easier for Detroit and the almost ideal set-up of one division.

    http://deadspin.com/5986826/gareth-bales-last+minute-goal-is-one-of-this-seasons-best I enjoy watching some futbol but I find the way people talk about the game annoying. His sheer nerve was laudable? Come on, that's the kind of stuff FJM used to rip from myth making baseball writers. I'm not sure if it's a matter of scoring being relatively rare so that when it does happen people have to find hyperbolic ways of describing how the player accomplished the feat, or if it's a matter of the sport being the only game in town for so many markets, and therefore the myth making bullshitters are left unchecked to spout their nonsense. But why is it that American viewers, who are so often the types who have learned to be more objective and sensible when it comes to discussing baseball, and to a lesser extent football, still carrying on with the European way of describing futbol action? It was a tie game against a team they should beat. He's very good and was lying on the ground with little time remaining. He noticed everybody vacated his area and when he got up nobody came very close to him again, so when he got the ball back he made one move and took a shot. It was terrific shot that a only a very skilled player could make (I assume), but there's no reason to get all "his nerve was laudable" about it. He's a professional athlete paid to score goals and he did that.

    Clearly he doesn't know Vogelbach.

    what is that?
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Must really be carrying a heavy burden. I'm guessing the Chicago media will be impressed with the level of maturity he showed while running that slowly.

    Kershaw is coming off multiple years of 200 IP and is slated as their opening day starter. He's not exactly in Matt Garza territory or a rehabbing from Tommy John situation. Before last year, Garza put up consecutive seasons of 184, 203, 204, and 198 innings. And he missed lots of time to injury last year and got hurt at the beginning of this year. He's not in same boat as Kershaw.

    I'd rather have the red marquee with the lower walls blue.

    LA? SD? That right there is a list of most teams in the NL and the Cubs having one steady guy and most guys coming off injury or part-time duty still stands out to me. It's still got the potential to be on of the better staffs, but it's littered with wild cards and volatility.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    It may be the nature of the position but there is no denying the Cubs have a fairly odd percentage of guys coming back from injury. 2 of 7 doesn't seem that odd to me. Even more so one one of those two is Baker, whose ZiPS projection isn't materially different than 3 other back end options. Not sure why I stopped there but meant to say injury and/or part-time duty. They've got one guy who has been a steady full season pitcher.

    Every park was "cleaner" in 1930 because they were tiny little things. You have to maximize your usage of the space to generate revenue and that is going to require a bit of an unclean layout. This isn't a museum.
