  1. Jocketty was on the radio last night during the game broadcast and was talking about converting local fans to Cardinal fans. This town is 100% Pirates. Good luck Walt!

    I don't want to lead the league in hustle. I want to lead the league in wins.
  3. ....but couldn't pull the trigger. Walt Jocketty was at the Inaugural game for the State College Spikes and I could've run out and Giluli'ed him or something. But the risk was too great....Jim Riggleman could've gone down as collateral damage. I just couldn't bear to see the light leave Riggs' eyes.
  4. Our new team (Short-A) is a Cardinals team, but they are the home town team so I cheer for them. Short-A is so many levels removed from the actual Cardinals that I don't feel like I'm in any way compromising my allegiance to the Cubs. As others have said, it's more about being a fan of the individual players and watching them progress towards the majors. If the Spikes reaffiliated with another team that wouldn't change anything.
  5. And former Cub Dave Clark (primarily a pinch hitter) is one of the World Team coaches. I like the Futures Game better than the AAA All-Star game because the Futures Game just includes prospects, while the AAA All-Star Game can include players who are having good seasons in the minors but are basically AAAA players with no real major league future.

  6. i'm sure they'll make him grand marshall at the gay games :roll:
  7. he doesn't want to be upstaged by Pujols return this weekend
  8. Back in 1990, EVERY rapper from the West Coast wore Raiders and Kings gear. Now they wear stuff from the city they are from (Atlanta, St. Louis, etc.) The reason you don't see rappers wearing Cubs stuff is because VERY few big name rappers are from Chicago. Kanye West, uh, and another one maybe
  9. When was the last time a pitcher gave up 13 earned runs. This is unbelievable. Probably used the entire pen to get through last night's game, so Marquis is taking one for the team
  10. i'm happy the team is winning i'm unhappy that neifi is 3 for 4
  11. Having or not having "the book" on players Gotta tip your cap
  12. at least Guillen earned his job by being an awesome baseball player
  13. I leave the "other team hating" to White Sox fans
  14. I think his realignment idea IS like the NBA. He said geographic divisions, which I would assume would fall under conferences. I think he's just trying to get rid of the idea of interleague play and have everyone play everyone every year
  15. i'm happy for Wade. Shaq and Walker and Payton can suck it
  16. While I agree that Guillen is trash, I won't go so far as to say that he represents even a sliver of Sox fans. It's just as easy for us to say all Sox fans are classless goons and blue collar thugs as it is for them to say that we're all yuppy pretty boys who go to Wrigley for the beer and to talk on our cell phones. It's simply not true. In fact, you know where most Sox fans live? Not the South Side. Most live in the Western and Southwestern Suburbs.

    Senegal? We don't have to wait for him to complete 3 years of mandatory military service or anything do we?
  18. Media travel. Never underestimate the power of hundreds of reporters complaining about something. BS. It's so that an underdog team has a better shot at an upset. And to reward the team with home-court advantage with seeing their team win it all on the road
  19. according to those photos, we have: Totally Baked and craving Cool Ranch Doritos vs. Fat, Stupid, Hat-Tilted and High

    The write up on him on that website makes hims sound like he's a defensive beast. Very intriguing. this guy is from where now?
  21. Derwood

    Nobody is a sure thing. Prior to last year, GM's were throwing first round money at 18 year olds whose body of work consisted of dunking on 5'6" white guys all game
  22. The 7th inning celebrity parading fiasco has got to go regardless of what Piven said. Talk about spitting on Harry's grave (not Piven specifically, but what the whole sordid thing has turned into)
  23. I'll miss this one. Gonna go to Opening Day of Short-A and see some players who actually care about winning.

    who is she?
