  1. It doesn't help that the first two strikes to Montomery weren't strikes
  2. There is zero reason to be shut out by this made up pitcher guy
  3. [tweet] [/tweet]
  4. Are there enough olde-thyme writers/voters who will hate his "antics" enough to punish him and vote for someone more vanilla?
  5. he can’t help but laugh whenever he think of the troops that died for our sins And taking your hat off for the anthem is for the poors
  6. Urban’s presser at Big Ten media week is going to screw him.
  7. Remember when people here wanted Alex Cobb? http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/31086/alex-cobb Are those bad stats?
  8. If a mid-major school or bottom feeder power five program saw a tattoo-for-memorabilia scandal, a sexual abuse scandal and a cover up for domestic violence scandal all happen within a six or seven year span, the NCAA would slap them with a “lack of institutional control” punishment. But OSU is a huge moneymaker for the NCAA, so don’t count on it
  9. Baez hitting over .300 on August 1 was not a thing I ever thought I’d see
  10. With any luck, this game will end before tomorrow's first pitch
  11. This game sounds fun, wish I could watch it
  12. *obligatoryblackoutrulesaredumbpost*
  13. Local radio says it is a very real possibility that Meyer is fired
  14. ESPN says only his wife knew *eyeroll*
  15. Is Hickey catching any heat in the Chicago media?
  16. Indians acquire Leonys Martin
  17. The other factor here is that nobody knows how the ramped up enforcement of these “leading with the head” penalties is going to play out. Are players going to be ejected left and right? Will judgment calls by the refs cost teams games?
  18. If Smith is suspended for a game(s), he will lose his game check. That's SOP for the NFL. The Bears are trying to fudge around Smith's slotted guaranteed money by inserting language that would allow them to take back some of that rookie money if he were to be suspended. It's BS because that same language would not have been in there if they had drafted, say, a QB or WR instead of a LB.
  19. Smith's agent is trying to get a clause out of the contract. Basically it's about the new hitting/leading with helmet rule. Supposedly, if a player gets suspended with this new rule (I'm going to assume that you got to do it multiple times to get a lengthy suspension), the team can void your contract. Smith is trying to get his deal to be guaranteed/protected from that. I know Gurley and like 2 others have what Smith want so it's not like he's setting a new precedent for future players. I saw an article on this a couple days ago because I was wondering what was taking so long. Edit: Bears can void some of the guaranteed money if you get suspended with the new lowering helmet rule, not their contract like I stated above. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000942843/article/roquan-smith-deal-holdup-related-to-new-helmet-rule It's a terrible look for the Bears, and the organization is looking like a-holes about it.
  20. Is that a typo? Nope https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/brebbjo01.shtml
