Careless

Too bad that's about the only way Lee can steal anymore

Lee looks ready to hit edit: slacker, only got one run in

Yeah, back to back up the middle, a little to the right or left and at least one of them would have been an out and probably a dp

I hate having a guy who tries to get hit on my team. So torn when he pulls it off

Len was talking like that, too

Well that's insanely annoying

Best Gramatica injury since Gramatica. Btw, are there other Gramatica injuries than these two?

The 2002 Cubs were 7 or 8 games under their pythagorean, and the 2003 Cubs were a bit over.The Dustyites were happy to claim those wins as his influence, before 2005 happened.

I'm still stunned by the claim that large numbers of Packers fans in Milwaukee saw Jenkins and thought he was Favre

I'm still amused that that skateboarder from clueless is a part of those commercials. First acting job in 10 years, apparently the skateboarder from clueless was breckin meyer...was there another skateboarder? is it really just a guy who looks like him? I could be completely wrong on this, we're talkinga bout a movie I haven't seen in the past decade The actors name is Eric Violette. He hasn't been in anything. Breckin Meyer is the skater (travis) in Clueless eric violette is the guy who sings. not the guy I'm talking about

probably get Marmol to close tomorrow if it comes to that.

it hit his uniform.

hard to say that, he had two well hit line drives that were right at the rf and lf

but... hill's a starter

He may just be spent. He's almost 40 and isn't used to throwing that many pitches right now. I'd bet he's just a perfectionist who wanted to close the game out or at least that inning. You don't get to be in the majors at his age without a ton of desire to perform well

That'll relieve a lot of stress

Lieber looks a lot less happy than the Cubs fans who just saw his performance.

Oh good, Howry to save us

Who would have guessed that the Giants would be tops in stolen bases?

that doesn't even make sense, and your statements have nothing to do with each other or with what i said. what level you play at makes no difference. whether you're an eight year old playing little league or arod, pressure can 1) make you perform below your norm or 2) have no effect on you (and you stay at your norm). but it cannot elevate you above your norm so that you hit better, do better on tests, whatever. it defies logic. Well, then you're just clueless in this topic. end of story. It defies no logic. It simply points out that you have a closed and simple mind honestly, if I didn't know you were serious, I;d think this was a sarcastic comment. It's purely stupod. Let it be clear:if you think that stress means you perform at the exact same level or worse and cannot possibly perform at a better level, I think you are a fool (and yes, I've been drinking. note: I still spell better than NY) How can you never have met a slacker in your entire life, abuck? that seems beyond reason If you think that no one performs worse in a stressless situation than a streesful one, you are... I'm sorry, I'm not sure of the appropriate adjective Also, what about it doesn't make sense? your objection to the differences in the level of play was pathetically shortsighted, as if you actually thinik that MLB is like your high school team. I can't believe you don't see that high level baseball play selects for both baseball talent and stressful play talent. it's so very obvious

And I thought I made it quite clear that I think you're wrong. I'm not sure how you missed my point so completely] let me try again: Statement 1: if you do not play well under very high stress situations, you will not become a professional baseball player unless you are ungodly talented. Statement 2: given that, there are probably no baseball players (and more likely none beyond an amount that could be considered statistical noise) who are not adept at playing at extremely high levels of stress, and therefore there is very little room for clutch improvements statement 3: that does not preclude the existence of clutch hitting/playing/test taking/etc at lower levels of play.

that's absolutely ridiculous. there are people who choke and people who don't choke, but the existence of chokers doesn't mean there are people who perform better under pressure. I'm quite certain that there are people who perform better under pressure (you should see my career baseball stats, not to mention other aspects of my life). I'm not at all certain that anyone like that will ever make the major leagues. Baseball is a high pressure sport. If you're not good at playing under intense pressure, how will you ever make it as a MLB player for any length of time? which is to basically say that nearly everyone who plays in the majors is probably better at playing under stress than the average person and probably unlikely to play better under unusually high-stress situations.

I loved the graphic fox had during the Vikings/Lions game Rushing yards: Vikings: 241 Lions: 1
