    If lake goes 0-2 for the rest of the day [i think] and Schierholtz doesn't hit a homer or something [and maybe more than just a homer, I think], Wood will end the day with the highest OPS in the lineup

    ha!

    Wow, we're ahead of SF in the standings now. They had a really bad month

    The fish in Miami should be worried.

    So strop might be kind of stupid. Which I can accept, when he's pitching this well

    So obviously the Cubs haven't won after a 9th inning comeback, but have they even taken a lead in the 9th before tonight?

    It wasn't even close to being a strike. I'm not watching, where did it miss? Pitch f/x could be off a foot in any direction and that'd still be a strike. Pitch 5 bounced in front of the plate

    Wow, Barney
  17. Careless
    Good job breaking two players with an error, Barney

    That was brutal. Will probably go down as one of the more disturbing sports injuries in history. In case anyone hasn't seen it, Eric Young stepped on the back of his ankle while Hudson was covering first (Hudson's foot was in the middle of the back, Young couldn't really avoid it on the close play) and his ankle basically snapped exactly like you'd expect from a "gruesome injury". While I'm perfectly fine with descriptions of things that happened to dead things, I wish you had just left this at "someone stepped on him" and spoilered the rest.

    Biggest chin in the history of Cubs boob-cam?

    Those were just the cases where it was really obvious. The Melkys of the world weren't caught 10+ years ago, as obvious as they were. YOU YOURSELF ARE EXPRESSING DOUBT AND SOSA IS NOT IN THE HALL OF FAME. You're jumping so hard to attack him, you've shut off your brain and can't even read. Calm down, TT.

    Which decades, specifically?

    Sosa just barely beats out Mike Piazza for 10th in most WAR accrued during the years of Sosa's career, even when excluding his disastrous 2005 & 2007. He hit a bunch of home runs and became very popular. Don't confuse that with actually being a consistently great baseball player. That doesn't sound like it eliminates him from being a "once in a generation player" to me, but maybe people would like to define that term better. There are, after all, basically 11 "best at their position" players in the league at any one time, so I wouldn't have a problem having 10 "once in a generation" players at a time, were they all very different players

    Sure, they can turn you from "one of the best of his generation" to "the best in the history of the sport" almost a decade after your natural physical peak, but they couldn't take an above average player and make him a lot better. That would be ridiculous. Tell that to Bonds who only became once in a generation after he took them. PED's made multiple once in a generation players (Bonds, Sosa, ARod). None of those guys would have been that good without them. Holy smokes are you comically wrong about this. What's comical are the number of home runs that Bonds and Sosa hit right when they began taking PED's. The frequency of their homers is directly caused by taking them. You have no idea when Sosa started using PEDs. We do, however, know when Bonds started; after that year he had an insane season where he hit 73. His other near-full PED years? 49, 46, 45, 45. Some other Bonds' HR totals pre-1999? 33, 34, 46, 37, 33, 42, 40, 37. 49, 46, 45 were also his 2nd, 4th, and 5th best WAR seasons at ages 38-40, including a 12 WAR. Yeah, those are some good, powerful drugs. You wrote this after you wrote about him hitting 49 in a steroid year, you know.

    come on, where's the one of Barney and Shark leaping into each other while the ball rolls away?
