  1. i've always believed that if the cubs moved, they would win. wrigley is cursed. i've always believed that curses were reserved for children's fair tales and greek mythology
  2. i can see that i'm going to win my bet by taking the over on Soriano's pickoffs this season
  3. wow, it's chilly in here. I take it the COBS showed up instead of the Cubs?
  4. Ok, let's assume your are correct. Prior was signficantly damaged by the 2003 season. I think we would agree the damage was significant, because he has failed to make it out of 4 straight spring trainings and has had several trips to the DL. Now, I know a little about sportsmedicine, because I have been in that field for 15 years, and I know what diagnostic tests and orthopaedic dr's are capable of finding. If Prior had something going on, that was significant enouph to cause his past 4 years of history, it is incredibly unlikely, he would have had a clean structural bill of health from numerous MRI's and many different physicians, time and time again. That's why I don't believe in the lingering effect of 03 abuse theory. Anything causing him so much trouble, is not going undectable for this long. you're assuming that the Cubs, who had a history of truth-stretching when it came to injuries, was completely forthright about Prior's bill of health
  5. Please provide an example of these "many pitchers" that had similar loads. Remember, we aren't talking IP, we're talking pitches. Every pitcher in the 1960s? if you think every pitcher in the 1960's threw as hard with as much torque on their arms as Wood and Prior you are truly fooling yourself
  6. What a crock. Charter is some operation. I just talked to some guy whose name I could not understand. He said they are still negotiating and that it "looks promising." Whatever that means. This is so aggravating. maybe Charter needs to sit back in their chair and whisper. This creates a dominant position for them. Then they should change rooms at the last minute or suddenly leave the room
  7. check swing K, Nats win. Wow, they really tried hard to screw that up
  8. Nats up 2-0, 2 outs in the 9th, but bases loaded
  9. Can the Nationals blow this lead?
  10. he toughed himself into getting injured again today
  11. give me an I give me a B give me an L
  12. What's the gay joke? Apparently best friends forever is gay? I read it as boy friend forever. It's been like 20 years since i was in middle school, so I'm not "down" with the note-passing abbreviations FYI, the standard joke making the rounds is about ARod being desperate for people, especially Jeter, to like him. He's said some things that can be construed as being sad that he has no friends. I guess I'm just not up on my A-Rod gossip
  13. nothing trumps Bobby Cox pulling Andruw Jones out of a game mid inning for letting an easy fly ball drop (doing his normal, lackadaisical jog towards the ball)
  14. did i miss the positive steroids test on mcgwire? I'm pretty sure he admitted he took illegal substances that, at the time, were not specifically against the rules in MLB. the andro stuff? Isn't that available at GNC? No, Androstenedione was banned under the pro-hormones ban that was enacted on January 20, 2005. ok, so was it available at GNC in 1998 when he was taking it?
  15. What's the gay joke? Apparently best friends forever is gay? I read it as boy friend forever. It's been like 20 years since i was in middle school, so I'm not "down" with the note-passing abbreviations
  16. A-Rod "gay" jokes are now as old and tired as Jim Edmonds "gay" jokes. Leave it to ESPN Page 2 to go there
  17. I always liked America. Really? I was born in 1984. :lol: and you're not even close to the youngest poster here
  18. true, but he never hit more than 47 in any single season.
  19. BANG. game over. This kid is dynamite. Hope he doesn't get injury problems
  20. i so so so want matsuzaka to lose. i want to hear ESPN's talking heads try to explain why he won't be 35-0 this year
  21. sometime in the ugly Tim Floyd years I think. I remember the bench was on camera-left during the Jordan years, but seems to be on the right in the Hinrich era
