  1. Wouldn't it be smart for the Phillies to just say [expletive] it and let them score.
  2. This would be more fun if the Red Sox never won the World Series in 04 and 07.
  3. If the Braves want to win this that would be nice.
  4. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7028238/mlb-reveals-times-potential-wild-card-playoff-games 1 p.m. for the AL, 5 p.m. for the NL. Times don't change if there's only one game. That's pretty brutal for Boston if they have to play. Night game in Baltimore, overnight flight then an afternoon game in Tampa the next day. Are you using Pacific times?
  5. Well, it's not a stretch given that he wasn't a very good fielder. Hell, the more I look at that picture I'm wondering why OMC thinks it's such a trump card. His glove isn't open and he's leaping against an oddly angled wall; it's not a stretch at all to say that Moises Alou doesn't make that catch. I think he would have caught it but it would have been a great catch. This may be a dumb question but if he does, is that catch itself any where near as memorable as the whole Bartman incident was. Probably not because it would have been the second out of the inning and there was still plenty of time for Florida to come back but I thought Florida had 2 men on at the time and if he makes the grab the rally is thwarted and it probably would have been the best defensive play in the game that sends the Cubs to the World Series. Dumb hypothetical but it crossed my mind.
  6. I'm not surprised but the lack of a sell out in Atlanta annoys me.
  7. I seem to remember in other threads that have been on here, people have claimed that Alou wouldn't have caught it.
  8. I know that when I think Northwestern football, I think butts in the seats. Usually the opposing team has lots of butts in seats.
  9. There is certainly some tradition if the teams have played every year for the past 65 years. Weather that tradition means anything is another story. And this isn't meant as a snarky question but a legitimate one. Would you and other ND fans want to see Navy taken off the schedule. That seems like a more worthless "rivalry" to me.
  10. I think Peavy could have been predicted and I thought I remember people on our board not wanting him due to arm issues. Could be wrong though. Dunn's collapse seemed more stunning though.
  11. Well, no, because at least Fielder is playing more games this weekend. I meant last Cubs game in which one of those two were not Cubs.
  12. They talked about it in the documentary and the guy who did this was one of the interview subjects in the show as well.
  13. Last game in which Albert Pujols or Prince Fielder are not Cubs?
  14. He beats Iowa every year. That's about it though.
  15. I don't know about now but back then national broadcasts had a delay. I used to watch a lot of sports with the radio on but not the national broadcasts and it was because of this. That game absolutely, 100% had a radio delay. We gave up on Steve Lyons after about 3 outs and let Ronnie give us 5 second spoilers for the remainder of the game. If the radio had a delay, how was Ronnie giving you spoilers? That would mean that the radio was ahead of what was on TV. Again..there's no 7 second delay on a live Cubs broadcast. And wasn't one in 2003. How are you so sure? I have absolutely heard delays on Fox and ESPN broadcasts and I know this with 100% certainty as I have heard with my own ears. The only thing is, and Old Style brought up this point, it may be that the radio broadcast is quicker than the TV broadcast thus you hear it before you see it. And actually, when you are live at the park there may be a 1-2 second delay between the action and what is heard on the radio because I have brought a radio before just to see if there was.
  16. I don't know about now but back then national broadcasts had a delay. I used to watch a lot of sports with the radio on but not the national broadcasts and it was because of this.
  17. St. Louis comes back from a 5 run deficit to tie the game and the Wild Card race on the same night the Steve Bartman documentary airs? Coincidence? Yes.
  18. I'm sure he can't completely avoid ESPN... and the promos have been running every break for the last week. I'm not sure what you're thinking he could have done. On NFL tickets it says something like any time you show up on camera for NFL films or whatever, they have rights to your likeness. I'm guessing that MLB would have something similar and I imagine there wouldn't be anything he could do if they did.
  19. I also remember that two would have been tough when I watched it live. Gonzalez probably rushed and took his eye off the ball.
  20. After his or Wood's homer, I don't remember which one, me and my friend were making plans for game 1 of the World Series.
  21. At least none of us went through the nightmare Bartman did. I wonder if he's still a Cubs fan. I wouldn't be if I had to deal with this crap. He's still a Cub fan. Come on. Well that's unnecessarily fiesty.
  22. At least none of us went through the nightmare Bartman did. I wonder if he's still a Cubs fan. I wouldn't be if I had to deal with this crap.
  23. Our fans suck a lot.
  24. Ok, if Alou calms the [expletive] down we win Jesus Christ. Also how the [expletive] did Gonzalez not field that ball.
