My initial thoughts: a) NOOOO. b) that is a huge steal. $11m or so a year for one of the best players in baseball?

This strike zone is ridiculous?

You're opposed to strategy? And probably opposed to America too?

This game reminds me of Major League. "It's too high." "Too high? What do you mean it's too high?" "It's too high"

Re: Candymaker Mars Inc. buys the Wrigley Company
BleacherBadger replied to C.C.'s topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Your 2nd sentence doesn't follow from the first. It sounds like you're saying Mars would sell off the naming rights to Wrigley Field. Not only that, but Buffet is purchasing Wrigley with cash! :shock: There is no debt. I've seen Warren's wallet. no way he's got that kind of scratch on him Last Year, Buffett's fortune was valued around the $44 billion mark. However, after years of his "stinginess", he declared he would donate $37 billion to the Bill Gates Foundation in his will. -
But very gritty outs.

Don't forget Norris Hopper! Nate McClouth: Hi Guys! Joe Crede: What's up?

I was in school in Wisconsin when California rolled out their "Happy cows come from California" ads. [expletive].hit.the.fan.

I like it! For some reason I don't feel good about todays game. Although, I felt the same thing last night. I never feel good about facing the former Expos on the road. We always played like crap in Montreal. Anyone remember back around 93 when someone got plunked in the face up in Montreal? I remember watching it on TV and the just seeing the trainers sprint out and put towels on his face. Wish I could remember more details...

He reflects the energy of the moment, good or bad. You can usually hear the "downness" (for lack of a better word) in his voice at the end of a call when the opposition has done something. I hate it when announcers for the team I root for also root for that team and get affected by the events of the game. I would rather a mono-tone. Yea, that's exactly what I said. Or not. Actually, if anything, I would rather he sound a lot more pissed when the opposition does something. When the opposition is at the plate and I hear the tone of his voice, I'm expecting to hear an out and some sort of good play for the Cubs. Instead, it's a positive play for them. It annoys the piss out of me as I'm also pissed off about the play. Sue me. My lawyer will be over in 8 minutes. Please have cookies and milk ready. He prefers oatmeal raison.

Many baseball teams do that. I also found that happen when I played ball. It really screws my head when they do. "Which team occupies the dugout on the first-base side or the third-base side is purely arbitrary. The Major League Baseball Rulebook is silent on the subject. There are many anecdotal reasons why one dugout is chosen over the other.[citation needed] One is that in the early days of the game the manager also served as the third base coach, so occupying the third base dugout meant less walking for the manager between innings. Contrarily, the thought is that since more close plays occur at first base than third, the first base dugout is preferred. However, the most likely theory is simply that the home team chooses the better clubhouse and the dugout on that side of the field." That's Wikipedia, so you know that poops official. MODS: Don't swear. It's against the board rules.

Tulowitzki diving stop to his left, flip to Barmes who bare handed it and fired to first for a DP. Hm. Glad I'm not watching that. Thanks

What happened?

I'll have to take a gander when I head home today.

Never too early. I agree, the bigger the lead we get now the less we have to worry in Sept. Please Welcome: Randy Hundley, Ernie Banks, Glenn Beckert, Ron Santo, Don Kessinger, Billy Williams, Don Young, Jim Hickman, and Mr. Fergie Jenkins!!!

Actually, you couldn't have an at-bat, a walk, and have an OPS of 1.000. Pretty sure he meant a PA, not an AB. yes, thank you.

Actually, you couldn't have an at-bat, a walk, and have an OPS of 1.000. Fine. I meant walk in an at-bat. I should have said "I could have one at-bat, get a single in that at bat, and never hit again and still have an OPS of 2.000
-
The reason sample size has nothing to do with it is because both OBP and Slugging are both per plate appearance, not amount of at-bats. I could have one at-bat, walk, and have an OPS of 1.000, higher than both Font and Soriano
