I've had problems all afternoon as well. Things have been working very well for while now, but in the last few days I couldn't access the site at 0000 hours Pacific Time. This used to be a problem, but it had been gone for a fairly extended period time. I tried to get on NSBB at 1500 hours PST and the front page would load but not correctly. It would have an error message at the 'top' of the page. Like the 1st few lines of the screen and then the main page would load, but not correctly. The proportions were off. Then if you tried to access the message board you would get 'cannot access error'. Hope this helps. Thanks Tim.
=D> well done. Darn, if you're in CST even more so. With Carlos on the mound I can always envision the W flag flying. However, the Cubs have to bear down now and start putting some distance between them, and the Brewers and Cards. Especially, while the Cubs are at home and their schedule isn't as 'hectic' as it will be. Go Cubs!!!
congrats, O_O, it happened. well done E.J. Well thought out posts and an even disposition will do this, do you really want to continue?! a little angst is normal for Cub fans a'int it? See y'all on the board....as one of them.... dankeshein.
I'd like to know if, given the chance, would you rather have A.J. Burnett's remaining contract at 2/24 mil., and losing talent or would you prefer Ryan at 2/20 w/o losing any talent?
But that doesn't account for the complete loss of control. For example, the game against the Rays. His control has never been outstanding to start with. His strike out slider starts in the zone then breaks before it gets to the plate alot of times. Advance scouts are there charting the counts and pitching patterns. They see this and pass it onto the hitters. The hitters know in these counts I will be getting the sweeping slider that isnt going to be a strike. Once they get ahead he comes with a fastball that tends to be a bit flat. You cant hit a flat fastball, you shouldnt be playing Major League Baseball as a position player. Marmols bread and butter has been made outside the zone most of the year. Now that hitters know this they are making him come to them. At this stage Marmol is still a thrower, lets see if he can become a pitcher now.
This kind of argument sounds familiar...hmmmm... http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/457/scarecrowoz4222bv2.gif ? I think O_O was saying that you are using the 'straw man' fallacy. In creating a facsimile of an argument, and then defeating it, doesn't mean that you have defeated the original argument. edited: soul got to it before it did
Which of y'all would rather have Hoffpaiur up to spell Lee and have Hart sent down? I really think as the bullpen is getting rested, it may be the pertinent thing to do. Just my opinion.
WTG Raisin, let's keep this going. :stickman: That said, let the games begin. BTW, Raisin, which games are you going to from June 5-8? Send me an email or IM please.
If I was in Las Vegas, I'd put a bet on that. Fudge, $5.00 could get me $185?! It's the record, knucklehead, not the "odds." Even tho.........it wouldn't surprise me to see Vegas put those kind of odds for Memphis. My bad, so much for drunk posting.
