  1. Does not compute
  2. 3 of the 9 "@" games are in Chicago though
  3. i've never driven drunk in my life and I don't even have a multi-million dollar job
  4. A source I have inside the Rangers clubhouse told me that this "incident" was simply one too many nights where Ponson ate the entire post-game food spread by himself.
  5. I think people remember the way it ended and forget everything else regarding Steve Stone. Brenly is slowly getting better to where he hardly bothers me, which is all I ask from an announcer. I remember the way it ended, but it as so clearly a case of asshats like Alou and Mercker being worried about what was being said in the booth and Dusty letting the lunatics run the asylum.
  6. any short, white, ex-role playing point guards floating out there for Pax to hire?
  7. one of the weakest ROY's in recent memory
  8. he missed the Derrek Lee "ah, my back is tight" stretch and Soriano's drawing in the dirt with his bat
  9. it's a tough question, because they approach the position in different ways. With Harry and Stone, Harry was very much a "color play-by-play" guy while Stone played it straight, whereas Kasper is much more than just a straight play-by-play guy; he adds a lot of color and analysis himself. I never got the hate for Stone, but Brenly has grown on me.
  10. Stone's not a stats guy. compared to Harry, he was Bill effing James
  11. I don't know a lot about the Jays, but they seem to have four lefty pitchers. If they are all relievers, then maybe Murton is the better choice -- the Cubs more likely to use a pinch hitter late in the game against a relief pitcher, and that relief pitcher for the Jays is likely to be a lefty. Given that someone will replace Marquis, but the rest of the pitching staff is pretty solid, is there a chance the Cubs would be able to package a starter, a lefty reliever, a righty reliever, and RH bat and a LH bat for a key piece at the deadline? Does Marshall, Cotts, Ascanio, Murton and Hoffpauir get Michael Young from Texas? Furcal from LA? Swap Pie for Murton and get Nate McLouth and Jack Wilson from Pitt? I'm sure some would say all those Cubs are border-line major leaguers, but would the sheer number of role players get a top prospect from a contender? usually teams won't take quantity over quality. they also don't want to deal with swapping one 40-man roster spot for five
  12. Stone complimented Harry well because Harry wasn't going to give you any hard-hitting analysis. Kasper is a stats guy, so pairing him with Stone would be redundant.
  13. Ascanio
  14. wow, Kerry really Rod Beck'd the end of that one
  15. yep, he is a pretty emotionless pitcher... :confused: ha ha, you're right. he's always pointing at the sky, screaming in rage and showing up opposing hitters on strikeouts.
  16. + incredible fan support despite disappointing results. + incredibly restrictive salary structures built into the cap + Krause being a dick and no free agents (ie McGrady, Duncan, etc.) wanting to play for him
  17. LeBron has probably been the most obvious #1 overall pick since Jordan, yes
  18. They did luck into a certain player..... so did Cleveland. how many rings have they won?
  19. I love rewritten history. Reinsdorf sucks, Krause was a douche.....seems like they lucked into 6 rings in the 90's
  20. if Greg Maddux had only shown some emotion and charisma he'd be a hall of famer
