  1. if you look at the gif, joyce obviously saw the obstruction, you even see him call it as it happens http://cdn1.sbnation.com/assets/3462203/interference.gif
  2. Yell at saltalamacchi to not even attempt that idiotic throw
  3. The umps made the right call, sadly
  4. why does allah like the cardinals so much
  5. Apparently you're allowed to make no effort to avoid a pitch now
  6. i'd never full on hate the cubs, but i could definitely see a scenario where i barely follow them for a few years, then pop back right in (in 2019) when they start to be good again oh wait that's happening now You barely follow them yet you post on a Cubs message board? Got it. that, and there's a good core group of posters to discuss movies, tv, etc. with in this community already that i've spent/wasted 10 years with.

  8. Just maintaining the Sparky Anderson legacy. yeah, i remember being genuinely shocked when i learned he was only 76 when he died. dude looked 76 during the big red machine era
  9. i'ma create a twitter account similar to @bestfansstl and just post sulley quotes after bears games
  10. bengals won, so you're welcome
  11. this sounds familiar http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/24001371/baker-challenged-reds-gm-if-you-want-to-fire-someone-fire-me
  12. This pirate crowd makes me sad about how lame and scared Cubs playoff crowds can be
  13. and welcome back to chicago, joe girardi
  14. This isn't about the W/L, it has to be about the lack of development from Castro/Rizzo. Or simply that they see a better long term option that won't be available next year. Or both. exactly. i don't know if a manager can do a better job in developing castro and rizzo, but it's worth a shot
  15. I searched, couldn't find a thread for Cano. To start off, Cano is seeking a 10 year, $305 million deal (lol) http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/9725806/robinson-cano-seeking-10-year-305-million-deal
  16. agreed. yankees did the send-off perfectly (well, besides having him close out a world series game). i always admired the way he went about things - seemed like nobody ever had a bad word to say about him. even red sox fans, who hate everyone associated with the yankees, seemed to have a lot of respect for him. leaving out his rookie year, when he was mostly a starter, he had 11 seasons with an ERA under 2.00 and only 7 over 2.00. as a reliever, batters hit .207/.257/.284/.541 against him. pretty damn good. He should be a unanimous first-ballot HoFer, but some dick writer will keep him off just to be "that guy" I'M NOT PUTTING IN ANY STEROID ERA PLAYER
  17. brian mccann's awesome
  18. he shouldn't start or anything. but i couldn't think of a more useful 25th man to have on a playoff roster with his ridiculous speed. This. I'd rather have someone like Hamilton as the backup OF'er on the roster than Chris Heisey, who probably has no business being on a major league roster to begin with at this point, what with his 9 walks in 240 plate appearances... then again this is Dusty we're talking about. Hell, they're playing a platoon of Heisey and Ludwick in LF it would seem. They have a combined OPS+ of 83. i hope cesar izturis is on the playoff roster and hamilton is left off
  19. he shouldn't start or anything. but i couldn't think of a more useful 25th man to have on a playoff roster with his ridiculous speed.
  20. jesus christ, how does even the thought of leaving hamilton off the playoff roster cross your mind?
  21. they're singing go bengals go, go bengals go
  22. i feel better trusting the defense keeping a lead vs. dalton leading a comeback attempt
  23. holy @#$@
