  1. More of Bud Selig's mission to not make anything simple or make sense in baseball
  2. I too went to high school
  3. i too watch the games and think to myself what it would be like if he were playing CF hard to conceptualize, it's just such a maverick idea i wonder if any manager would ever try playing him there if only he had 265 games in CF to really know for sure
  4. not all as a 2B though
  5. similar ERA, ERA+, WHIP, HR allowed, etc. Burnett has more K's but more walks as well. Blanton gives up more base hits. Either way, neither is very good
  6. outside of K numbers, Blanton has nearly identical numbers to Burnett
  7. Babe Ruth was up in Baseball Heaven and said "they've been cursed enough"
  8. If Ryne's presence kept Morgan off the field, we should all send him thank you cards and gift baskets
  9. why? because the Bears will draw fans wherever they play (even Champaign) while the lack of attendance to Sox games is credited (partially) to the location. the theory is that if the Sox had a lakefront ballpark that more tourist/casual fans would attend games. 8 Bears games on the south side vs. 8 on the lakefront would make zero difference in attendance
  10. Sorry to hear it man. Hope everything turns out for the best for you. thank you, he doesn't sound well and even then he said he was "bummed out" for me (great to hear an 81 yo man say that. you're right about the hot and humid part.
  11. Some would argue that they should have swapped the locations of the Comiskey and Soldier Field
  12. I don't have stats to back it up, but I would guess that there are more game-attending Sox fans in the suburbs than there are in the city. If they had built the stadium just outside of the city, the season ticket sales would have been much higher. Their relatively low attendance has more to do with suburbanites not wanting to drive into that part of town than anything else
  13. Do you have down syndrome? God damn, you're stupid. Guy was only 23 and this is the best you can come up with. RIP. you realize the joke was about vance not winning the contest, not about the guy dying. oh, you didn't realize that.

    you're saying some of us aren't even tempered? :-"
  15. i'll take them any way i can get them.
  16. His at bats did. you could just as easily say that anyone's at-bats cost the NL the game.
  17. couldn't have been more disappointed considering how much everyone loved it.
  18. there are few baseball analysts I dislike more than Orel. he's absolutely terrible did we just become best friends? (I've never been more excited to see a new movie than I am about Step Brothers) I think Will Ferrell is much better off in supporting roles. Frank the Tank > * his other roles. that movie was terrible
  19. Agreed to an extent, but having metra as the only public transportation out there would create some problems. They would sell a lot more tickets in the burbs than they would at 35th/Shields
  20. they should have built New Comiskey in the SW suburbs
  21. never heard of it. did it used to be called something else?
  22. where is Toyota Park?
  23. barring injury, Ichiro would have easily surpassed 3000 hits had he played his whole career in the US. An 18 year career might have gotten him close to 4000
