    this is also one of the first times they're in a position to make the playoffs. They were in first place at the deadline last year. What big move did they make then?

    No one cared? 1,750,000 people showed up for the parade on LaSalle Street according to the Police Department making it the largest single gathering of people ever in the history of the city. and then the next day, they all got bitter and angry at the Cubs again

    Meche has openly mocked the notion of waiving his no-trade to come to the Cubs

    but Milwaukee trading for Sabathia would be SO out of their regular M.O. that I'd be shocked to see it.

    until you realize it's comcast cable, and then you'll want to kill yourself

    Zambrano was worse than Marquis. hilarious

    Dusty had all of 26 sacrifice hits in his entire career

    if you were a cubs fan in the 90's, you were rooting for a cheater

    ha ha ha, keep dreaming

    I love that the Sox winning the WS in '05 has actually made Sox fans MORE bitter and hateful (probably because they won the whole thing and no one cared)

    I was stuck with the SF broadcast last night, but their announcers are pretty good. They had nothing but nice things to say about the Cubs when they were doing well, didn't get all bitter and mopey when the Cubs were up big, etc. It was refreshing after listening to morons like Hawk and Brennemen

    Apparently when you stick DeRosa at third he thinks he IS Ramirez

    A guy who couldn't cut it as a closer, hadn't started in his nine years playing in the majors is now a winning starting pitcher. You don't find those that often either they can't hold up to the many more pitches or just didn't have it to begin with. explain Dempster

    Oh man, then I actually do feel bad for Sox fans that have to watch their broadcasts. Cause that guy was ridiculous. Green Suit Guy needs to have a cage match with Pink Hat Guy
  15. Derwood
    I'm guessing the reason is "none of the fans' business"

    Coke > Pepsi, but I avoid anything but clear soda these days

    when you face tougher teams, its harder to put up better stats. a fairly easy assumption i thought could be made about the point it was making OPS+ is league/park adjusted

    embiggened is a perfectly cromulent word

    1929 or 1930, something around there I believe. Probably didn't add as many homeruns as we'd think given the ridiculously large dimensions of those parks. you see a lot of balls bounce into the stand in RF at Fenway It was bigger in the the old days. I don't think the right field line was 302 or whatever it is now, until the 40's. i would check ballparks.com, but for some reason that site always crashes Firefox

    being 2nd place in the voting means nothing. the coaches aren't emboldened to pick Aramis over Wright because of the voting

    Ben Gordon might be available at the 2. Isn't he a FA or something like that? restricted FA, meaning the Bulls can match any offer
  24. Derwood
    oh, right, more 10:15 EDT starts. Guess I'm not watching much of this one
  25. Derwood
    what year did they stop counting ground rule doubles as homeruns?
