in a one mile stretch along college/beaver avenues (two parallel streets downtown) there are over 80 eating/drinking establishments, with dozens more outside of town. you'll have to be more specific
-
The Cardinals suck at baseball. as do the Cubs. their five remaining games may have enough combined suckitude to open a worm hole to another dimension -
PriorPower is. I'm not forking over $1500 for a ticket to what is likely to be a not very competitive game they are trying to do a stadium-wide white out, but i guarantee that the grumpy old alumni and boosters who have all the seats between the 40 yard lines will eff it up

that is one replay i hope to never see

Do We Really Want This Team to Make the Playoffs?
Derwood replied to Derwood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
considering the amount of lazy "curse/Bartman/99 years/$300 million" coverage the Cubs would get in the playoffs, i'd actually like a team with half a shot to overcome that. -
For the Cards. i wish i shared your optimism
-
i already mentioned him. so yeah, i agree
-
can we add a "no Rush Street" clause to all our players' contracts?
-
i'm pretty sure there was no line for that game
-
i'm not sure why anyone is surprised that the Cubs are playing badly. The five games against the Cardinals will be the final 5 nails in the coffin, mark my words
-
quite a bit. if Ortiz weren't on the Red Sox, Manny would never see the light of the outfield
-
Hey Steve! Welcome to Chicago Cubs Run Support. SUCKA!

No chance they lose to Duke. they've lost to Duke before

Derwood replied to Derwood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Cubs trying to make this topic a moot point -
which inferior team will Northwestern lose to in the non-con schedule this year, Nevada or Duke?
-
I just hope Clausen can do something to make the game close. Unlikely though with the O line being non existent. Penn State was in the FIU backfield all day. I think ND's line has to be better by default, but yeah, you should fear guys like Sean Lee coming in on the weak side

Derwood replied to Derwood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
if you can't separate the desire for the team to succeed from the price of said success.... -
Jeter's WARP numbers have been impressive though, yeah? I remember FJM citing them as 2nd or 3rd best in the AL the year Hafner should have won the MVP
-
i probably won't start watching this game until 8:30 or 8:45, but with Trachsel, that will mean top of the 2nd

thanks for adding to the discussion -
hitting home runs isn't about how hard you swing Not entirely, but to blanket-statement like that is, I dunno, makes no sense. How hard you swing has a lot to do with how far you can hit the ball. That's pretty obvious. Certainly, the angle of the ball off the bat and the speed at which it is thrown come into play and factor highly in the outcome of a batted ball, but if you don't put enough momentum into the swing then you're not going to hit it very far. i wish i had access to STATS Inc., as i'm curious to know if the % of balls popped up is higher this year than in years past (for the Cubs). seems like Lee and (especially) Ramirez are hitting a ton of pop ups to the infielders

Untrue and you know it. he has the most overrated career 134 OPS+ ever ;)

is it just coincidence? Obviously. so it the trend continues next year, then what? still coincidence? i'm not equating lack of power for bad hitting. as someone else said, various other hitting statistics are up this year. i'm just wondering if Perry's approach has caused the power to go down
