he's a bad player with a cool name -
What time do your kids go to bed? the almost-two-year-old fell asleep around 8:15 and the older one around 9:00 (eastern) i haven't fast-forwarded much besides commercials, so i've been slow to catch up
-
wait, i missed that. rapada and coats went where to finish what trades?
-
ramirez didn't swing at all in his first two at-bats i'm finally caught up to "real time" on my DVR, so i thought i'd drop in here
-
How dare you? :shock: what's more insulting, what MojoPin just said or having people like Jeff Gordon and Kellie Pickler "honoring the memory" of Harry each day?
-
yes, the game ended on a double play where the ball was thrown to 2nd base for the first out, and though the throw to 1st was late, the runner was called out because marlon anderson just slid at the shortstop and not the base. it was the right call

I definitely feel the whole system is highly flawed. DVR has ruined what little meaning ratings ever had Not really -- if you record something on your DVR the cable company has a much more accurate read on # of households "tuning" in to a program. i'm fairly certain that cable/satellite providers don't have the means to track what every customer is watching. ratings are still done through Nielsen households, and, from what I understand, the ratings "boxes" don't track shows that are recorded

I definitely feel the whole system is highly flawed. DVR has ruined what little meaning ratings ever had Would DVR really affect the ratings of a sporting event -- something very few people would want to watch on a delay? I watch Cubs games on delay all the time now. Not 2 days later or anything, but it's a lot easier to go grab a bite with the wife or take the dog for a walk, and then come back and watch the game while skimming through commercials. me too. if the game starts at 7 or 8, i record it and start watching after the kids are in bed. in fact, i watch almost everything on delay for that very reason (kids)

8/29 Cubs (Zambrano) vs. Brewers (Sheets) 7:05 CT CSN

that was neat -
Don't be so sure. I'm sure Michigan will be scheduling them before too long. If this is a slam on Michigans Schedule, I think its off base. Michigan certainly could schedule tougher, but they are not nearly as shameful as others(including most of the SEC). They have Notre Dame on their Schedule and have tried hard to have other quality BCS teams on their schedule. That is 2 quality non-conference games most years. A lot of schools dont have 1. They also havent shied away from playing other BCS schools on the road. Again I am not comparing them to USC, but I could easily name 30 schools that dont schedule as good. I think Michigan played Oregon on the road once before. That's the only out of conference game other than ND I can even remember them playing on the road - let alone home games against decent teams. Yes, I'm glad they renewed the ND series, though. isn't this the last year?

I truly enjoyed the 70's. Cardinals were 13 games under .500 for the decade, with no playoff appearances. i liked the 70's because of The Electric Company and preschool Don't forget Land of the Lost. That show freaked me out. because Bill Laimbeer was in it?
-
again, the people were booing him long before he got to the "root, root" part

How many posts is he up to? 184756483092? :wink: i think he's either banned or somewhere en route from Finland because he has been particularly conspicuous by his absence -
I'm going to guess (without knowing much about you or the other people in question) that the people who are upset by this subject themselves to a lot more of the national sports media than you do. i really think some people here are complete media masochists. "i hate Mariotti!" "SI sucks!" "FOXSports.com is full of crap!" STOP READING IT THEN

You're right. People booed because they all hate Bob Uecker and think he's the devil. It had nothing to do with the fans wanting to uphold a tradition and think it's wrong for a competing team's broadcaster to sing the stretch. it's only a "tradition" because the Cubs marketing department fooled most cubs fans into thinking it is. it's usually just a stop on "celebrity X's" press junket or politician's campaign trail. it doesn't honor Harry at all anymore (if it every did post-1998) It's tradition to say "root root root for the Cubbies," which he didn't say. a) they were booing him before he sang a note b) they were booing too loud to hear him say "and you root for the Cubs" part

personally, i don't care AT ALL what the media thinks about my teams. in fact, it's amusing to me just how bent out of shape some you get about it (esp. the supposed Joe Buck hate of the the Cubs)

cubs fans care enough about the 7th inning stretch to boo someone? get a grip
