  1. welp, just gonna settle in and watch the isu/mizzou game. oh wait it's 1971 and the game isn't on tv. [expletive] you big 12.
  2. He's absolutely right. Or at least he is about half the time. When the wind is blowing in, our high-powered HR guys do have a very hard time doing anything. Of course, if we didn't have those guys at all, we'd lose every game where the wind is blowing out at Wrigley. For the Cubs, the right answer is probably a mix. Other teams might be able to get away building their team more towards one side of the spectrum or the other. So the answer is to get good hitters. Yeah, it's funny how other teams don't have a hard time hitting/winning at Wrigley. THEIR BODIES AREN'T ALL WORN DOWN FROM ALL THE DAY GAMES.
  3. i hope praising the red sox model means having a gigantic payroll.
  4. i'm more concerned about what they're giving up than actually getting epstein.
  5. lol jesus christ i like how it's not just all those turds for davis...they have to throw in upton too.
  6. is this crap really not on tv?
  7. vegas doesn't lose money, folks.
  8. i missed the first half...any idea when TLN classic will be re-airing the game?
  9. how is penn state four point favorites against iowa? can penn state's offense even score four points?
  10. i always forget...is texas a&m the school in necessary roughness?
  11. KARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMA FOR EVERYONE
  12. yeah, that 131 OPS+ he put up in 2010 is just dog [expletive]. especially for a 3b. eww.
  13. halladay scored 800 points this year! good luck to anyone trying to squeeze him in. ps - all my players are available, including agonz and lincecum. josh johnson is obv an injury risk, but he only scored 218 points this year. wright only scored 304.75 due to injury.
  14. wow, mack brown sticking it in and breaking it off. wildcat reverse pass on 3rd and 1 up 27-0.
  15. this could not be going any worse. at least texas state lost to arkansas today. big time choke by the red raiders.
  16. sure you don't want to head butt anybody after stopping them on 3rd down, dipshits?
  17. iowa state could not be [expletive] all over themselves any worse if they were literally [expletive] all over themselves.
  18. that's just weird. you guys must like sports a lot more than me or something.
  19. Yes. i don't know if you're just trying to be the fanningest fan that ever fanned, or if you truly have so little going on in your life that you allow baseball games involving strangers from a decade ago to devastate you. either way, pretty sad.
  20. i'll go so far as to say i don't think it was well-made or anything, which was pretty disappointing. i had heard a lot of good stuff about this being something of a legit movie, but i don't think this was even a good 30-for-30. yeah, i agree. they really padded it with needless stuff to make it last ~2 hours. like i said, the buckner stuff is interesting, but it's probably better served in its own feature. actually both the bartman thing and the buckner thing would be better in a 1 hour format. by far the most interesting stuff was hearing the security lady's account of how he acted/what he said in the aftermath. and the footage of him turning around and asking the other fans if he did something wrong was gut wrenching. and i guess it's a credit to the filmmaker that i felt waaaaay more sorry for bartman than i did angry about the game/series.
  21. and seriously, you guys really are that upset over a baseball game from 8 years ago that you can't even bear to watch this?
  22. this was hard to watch. and not because i'm some type of [expletive] that wants to kill myself over a game involving my favorite baseball team that happened 8 years ago. it is just terrifying that this dude left his house to watch a baseball game and five hours later his life (and his family's) was completely and totally ruined. OVER A FOUL BALL AT A BASEBALL GAME. i don't know whether i think this was a well-made film or anything...the buckner stuff was interesting, but i don't know if it fit with the rest of it.
  23. i can't believe i'm going to still be interested in iowa state in october! this season is a success!
  24. Never. i mean, if the b12 is going to lose one of the handful of second rate texas schools, it may as well be the one with boy cheerleaders dressed as hotel doormen. see you in the independence bowl or whatever the next 14 seasons, weirdos.
  25. No one's work has been good under the Cubs since '02. I have no problem with him leaving, given his age and lack of ties with the team but most likely he does still provide good evaluation skills despite the Cubs as a whole not performing up to par for the last 10 years. He's been bad at his job for 10 years, and you're disappointed to see him go? No, but I'm also not using one interview as the main parameter whether or not, I'm actually happy or sad to see him go. If Maddux or Randy Bush (who I don't like) had done something similar or had Hughes had a better interview, opinions wouldn't be like this. yeah, but hughes didn't have a better interview because the interview reflects his opinion. that's like saying, yeah, but if he had been good at his job instead of bad at his job, he would have been good at his job.
