  1. It's happened a handful of times. Most notably this game.
  2. ...in a surprising turn of events MLB shortened the season to 148 games.
  3. Olbermann on Barkley. http://youtu.be/v3LbQAchiYg
  4. Dude tried to use Jimmy [expletive] Chitwood as a decoy. Great motivational coach, sketchy X's and O's guy. He was a buffoonish meatball who played four guys while benching his hottest shooter for not playing the game the right way. Dennis Hopper was the brains behind the team's success anyway.
  5. I had no idea about the rule that if a player misses All Star Weekend they have to have missed the game before or the game after. What an awful rule, even though I'd be happy just to give the Blackhawks All Stars the extra day off in addition to skipping the All Star stuff.
  6. Not that he shouldn't be in the HOF, but as a Cubs he only had 41 hits against those pitchers. He did have an .805 OPS against Glavine, though.
  7. That was the year before. Last year was his bank accounts being frozen in some weird lawsuit.
  8. This just makes me even more confident in Arkansas.
  9. Suddenly the Hawks are second in the West in goals scored and second in the NHL in goal diff.
  10. It's cool to throw the little guy a bone once in a while. I'm glad something's gone Harvard's way for a change.
  11. I thought for sure it was over when the Raiders were forced to call a timeout because they had guys in the backfield celebrating a sack instead of getting back on defense for 4th down. Would have been a very Raiders way of blowing a game.
  12. http://www.businessinsider.com/what-warren-buffett-makes-per-hour-2013-12
  13. http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/marlins-giancarlo-stanton-discussing-record-breaking-300-million-deal-111314
  14. Here are some of his pitching projections for last year. G GS IP H BB SO HR W L SV ERA Jake Arrieta 20 20 117 114 53 99 14 5 8 0 4.31 Edwin Jackson 31 31 190 199 62 148 20 9 12 0 4.07 James Russell 66 0 48 51 15 34 7 2 3 0 4.50 Jeff Samardzija 32 32 211 198 76 194 24 11 13 0 3.80 Pedro Strop 67 0 65 56 32 68 3 4 4 8 3.46 Carlos Villanueva 40 14 125 116 41 107 17 6 7 0 3.74 Travis Wood 31 31 197 183 66 155 21 10 11 0 3.70
  15. If the Cubs signed someone with amazing pitch framing abilities, that would probably be the day MLB implements robo-umps.
  16. If Maddon's value is Addison Russell, Boston should have demanded a four-team trade and gotten Trout and Stanton for Theo.
  17. I would just so that the blocking the plate rule could have its worst case scenario realized.
  18. It doesn't show anyone at 97. But Lester Oliveros hit 96.6 once, so I guess they rounded up. As a team, the Twins threw 112 pitches at 95 mph or more. While Aroldis Chapman threw 207 pitches at or above 101.
  19. Using this http://baseballsavant.com/pitchfx_search.php Its 631
  20. Greg Halman of the Mariners in 2011.
  21. I know the opponent wasn't great, but between that Lamela goal and Harry Kane's hattrick before stepping as keeper, that was a fun match for Spurs.
  22. If you ignore dumb sportswriters and count Sosa as a HOFer, the '92 Cubs had four and finished under .500. If you include Pete Rose, the Reds missed three times in the 70s with four.
  23. Then traded Donaldson in the offseason for a middle reliever and we're still in 2014 wondering what could have been, but without the memory of those awesome Harden starts.
  24. The Cubs and Pirates have finished top three in the division at the same time just once in the last 40 years. It's hard for me to feel strongly about a division rival when it's been years since they've played a meaningful game against each other. Maybe next year I'll hate them more.
