  1. The mic drop has potential
  2. I attended an opening day in the late 90's and sat upper deck behind home plate and just ate cold wind for three hours
  3. One of the times I've seen the Cubs play the Nats in DC, my brother and I were sitting right above the LF corner and just mercilessly made fun of Ryan Church all night. We were basically the only people in the section, so it wasn't subtle at all. We were having a blast...until our mom yelled at us to "leave that nice Church man alone." THANKS A LOT, MOM; NOW RYAN CHURCH HAS THE UPPER HAND. My one and only bleacher game at Wrigley was against the Marlins and while Brad Penny was shagging fly balls during batting practice he was taking horsefeathers from everyone. It was fun, though, because he would give it right back
  4. if you [expletive] stay away I could win the nsbb group this year When have I ever done well in any NSBB contest ever?
  5. Are we not doing a bracket group this year?
  6. I don't see how they pass both the Pens and the Caps. Given the Caps' playoff history, I guess the Jackets would rather take their chances against the Caps than the Pens. Well all three teams have played 68 games, and the Pens and CBJ are just one point behind Washington. I haven't looked to see how their schedules line up, but that #1 Metro team will probably play Toronto, while the 2/3 play each other.
  7. The Blue Jackets have set franchise records for wins and points, and still have 14 games to go. I'll be disappointed if they don't get out of the first round this year, but they would have to catch the Capitals to guarantee a much easier match up (they'd play the Penguins if the season ended today)
  8. You said "Syracuse somehow just missed" which I read to mean you were surprised that they barely missed Yes but just a page earlier he went out of his way to remove Syracuse from the bracket we created because he didn't think they were worthy I didn't read all that (clearly).
  9. Is Syracuse missing that big of a surprise? Their resume isn't great Do you even read, bro? You said "Syracuse somehow just missed" which I read to mean you were surprised that they barely missed
  10. Is Syracuse missing that big of a surprise? Their resume isn't great
  11. The South region is packed
  12. They're making Northwestern sweat (dick move, CBS)
  13. Bulls with 26 points in the first quarter against Boston. Oh, I mean first half. Why any of you follow this clown shoes team is beyond me
  14. Where do you find these people?
  15. Also an a-hole who yelled at teammates and everyone hated: Michael Jordan Yes, David Ross = Michael Jordan
  16. Theo has given us 26 playoff games already. Before 2015, I had seen the Cubs play 21 total. 26 playoff games. 9 in 2015, 17 in 2016. Yeah but he gave us zero playoff games for the first four years so it's hardly worth it #kyle #doomboner
  17. Mike Glennon's male pattern baldness bothers me I'll miss your glorious head of hair, Jay
  18. Yea, I mean, I dont think the show really cares about the places staying open. Its literally just for show. Such is every home renovation/decoration show on HGTV. It's a TV show first and foremost, and what the homeowner is left with after the live is almost inconsequential
  19. Can't believe he didn't break 5 ribs when they tossed him into that concrete
  20. I went to back-to-back games in 1998 where the Cubs beat Atlanta 4-2 on May 31st, and then destroyed Florida 10-2 on June 1, with Sammy hitting 2 HR's to start his 20 HR June. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN199805310.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN199806010.shtml My one and only game in the bleachers was a Mark Prior win against the Marlins. (can't find the boxscore) Worst game: a game against the Piazza/Mondesi/Karros Dodgers where the Cubs started Anthony Young and he promptly gave up a million home runs: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN199506170.shtml
  21. If I can finish out of the bottom five I'll consider it a championship season
  22. A - Cruz B - Rizzo, Donaldson C - Trout, Harper, A. Jones D - Calhoun, Gordon, Posey, Lindor, W, Contreras WC - PM'd
  23. I can't wait for the twist ending to this thread, where the Series clinching ground ball is #2, and #1 is Seal Boy going missing
  24. Demps is fass? /meph
  25. Should be noted that they did part with a 4th round pick, luckily a compensatory pick, and get a 2017 6th. Still a pretty good deal, but depending on how you value the discount on the 2018 pick and which trade chart you use, its more like they bought a mid 3rd to mid 4th rounder. Probably worth $16M, but not really a sustainable strategy either. Pretty intriguing deal though, a "NBA deal" for sure. Yep, basically Cleveland saying "give us something and we'll take the cap hit for you".
