  1. you can click on "match up" next to this week's game and see how you stack up. the score doesn't go final until after Sunday's games
  2. you lead your opponent in 9 of the 10 categories, and you're tied in the 10th.
  3. i wish they had kept track of inside the park homeruns back in the day. i'm curious how many of Babe Ruth's were just gappers that he ran for days on. also, balls that bounced into the stands were ruled homers at one time (as opposed to ground rule doubles today)
  4. That's incredible. I've always thought about making a blog dedicated to collecting those type of videos. Videos of watch party reactions, or just videos of crowds in general? Because I always loved the center field shot of the crowd of Wood's home run in Game 7 of the NLCS. I can't believe Wrigley didn't collapse. Just reaction videos in general, it's the best thing that youtube does. that's a brilliant idea. WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP as long as you sticky all the videos of people watching 2girls1cup and never let it off the main page
  5. they do the same with NFL sunday ticket and Girls Gone Wild videos i've said too much
  6. When the Cubs play on WCIU, or whatever weird station that is, and Pittsburgh doesn't broadcast the game, it hasn't been on EI in the past. correct. all 162 Pirates games were blacked out for me (in PA) despite the fact that 50 of them weren't available locally. speaking of which, i'm curious to see if tonight's game is blacked out for me. the game on Monday was, but that might have been because it was on WGN. we'll see.
  7. can we add Dumpster to the word filter? add White Sox while we're at it
  8. i've talked to DirecTV about it and they say it's 100% on MLB, and they (DTV) are just following the rules given to them I did the same thing and got the same answer. The agent I talked to agreed to forward the complaint, but I doubt that will actually happen. I live in KY so the Reds are the only team affected by the blackouts (except the Saturday Fox stuff) and I don't give a crap about watching them anyway. The way it works for Reds fans is VERY stupid, however. The local FSN in Cincy doesn't carry all of the Reds games. As far as I know several of their games go un-televised in their local market. I looked at their schedule a while back and I think I counted five games this month that weren't scheduled to be shown in Cincy. So, MLB could market EI to Reds fans (and other small market fans as well I am sure) as a way to see all of their team's games since all of them are carried by the other team's TV network. Of course, they choose to black the games out instead. Makes absolutely no sense, IMO. i believe FSN-Pittsburgh only showed 110 Pirates games last year, meaning 52 couldn't be seen by anyone, EI or not
  9. having the DH means nearly zero strategy for managers and no real need for a bench
  10. you realize the Cubs will lose 4 of 6 to the Giants this season, right?
  11. Extra Innings has both feeds, but the Cubs (726) is just SD while the Pirates (727-1) is HD
  12. Bynum & Sellin' Em
  13. He's a goon who for whatever reason thinks he's good at basketball. goon? is he out breaking kneecaps for the mob?
  14. i've talked to DirecTV about it and they say it's 100% on MLB, and they (DTV) are just following the rules given to them
  15. mike remlinger
  16. i must have missed something....why all the Joey Dorsey hate?
  17. advertising and their guaranteed territorial coverage
  18. I look dumb? That's your opinion. I think you look dumb that you don't think he is. He didn't earn the money last year either. 130 strikeouts & 20 steals w/ a low OBP for a leadoff hitter making $18 mill/yr doesn't do it for me. Sorry. I doubt very many cub fans have much confidence at all that he will be a high level player on the back end of that contract let alone now. you're right. if he made league minimum, the Cubs would have won 100 games last year
  19. And how do you figure that? actively cheering against your obviously better counterpart ;) Was I supposed to root for Kansas? Do you root for the Cardinals? I won't deny they are better. I think I'll the first person to admit that the Mizzou basketball program is garbage and embarrassing. I'm completely jealous of Kansas' basketball program, I'm not afraid to admit that. i'm just busting your balls. and for what it's worth, i wouldn't go into a game thread involving the Cardinals just to cheer against them
