  1. But I can't understand why anyone would like Hawk Harrelson
  2. Law doesn't know what he's talking about either. I have yet to find a single video that shows Rizzo's hands in any position below the path of the ball. When his leg moves forward (trigger) after he brings his hands up (load), his hands are in a perfect position. He has a short quick path to the ball. Now, maybe all of the video evidence from the past 2 years ONLY shows his hands in the right position, or everybody is getting caught up on his "noisy" pre-load mechanics. None of that matters. If I knew how to do it, I would post a still image from a recent video (in the past week) of his mechanics in the "trigger" position. It is nearly perfect. This isn't to say his swing is perfect. He opens his hips a little too quickly, his feet point away from his center of balance and he doesn't torque his front and rear leg together enough at the point of impact. These things reduce his bat speed and need to be corrected long term, but none of those issues have anything to do with his hands.
  3. Some people were. Plenty weren't. I think even the biggest supporters of building "the right way" were pretty iffy on being a bad team in 2014.
  4. Who's that and where the hell is Ryan Swope? He made the cover of Aggie Internet Polling 14. Narrowly edging out the leader of the yell team.
  5. Depends if Ricketts continues to do a Frank McCourt impersonation Eh, we have 30 million in pending free agents who either haven't played an inning this year(Baker, Garza) or have not exactly provided difficult to replace production(Feldman, Marmol). They can likely add two 8 figure salaries, extend one of Rizzo or Samardzija, and take care of any other increases(the largest non-arbitration increase is 1 million, to Soler) without moving the total payroll at all. I'm worried he's going to drop it further.

  7. Omg hilarious. MAYBE A TOWEL SHOOTING CHAMPIONSHIP
  8. Theo could lose 100 games every year for 4 years and he'll be allowed to finish out his contract.
  9. How much money is he making from the 300 fans/game he's selling tickets to? He'd make money drawing 0 fans thanks to revenue sharing and media contracts.
  10. Huh? Is the field just really [expletive] at Kane County or did the burbs get pounded with rain overnight? They are just about to get pounded all day. There's a joke about a mom or sister in there, I just don't think I can pull it off. it definitely involves the family tree in some way
  11. Yep, this is my 2nd least favorite device of the fans of the process. "You'll feel sorry about this when we win the division in 2017!!!" Oh really, because I'm feeling pretty shitty about 2013 now.
  12. Because that would've taken time away from posting

  14. Figured I'd let you have that one.
  15. I didn't know you could transfer within the Big Ten
  16. There's a really easy solution Derrick. What a bunch of horse [expletive]. God bless Joakim Noah. If only Rose had Jo's heart. But then Noah would be dead!!!!!!!!!!! So win-win-win
  17. THAT IS NOT WHY JIM HENDRY [expletive] SUCKED DONKEY DONG
  18. I was trying to think of the ass that predicted that. When you mopes predict every conceivable worst case scenario, yeah you're right some times. Congrats you masochists.
  19. Yep, THAT's what's annoying. I made the mistake of clicking on Bleacher Report's facebook page. The comments, OH the comments.
  20. Looked like it was pretty clearly low enough on TV
