    Evidence that Sammy is universally considered a jerk? Cause I like and respect him, and I think Hendry's a jerk. Yeah, I get it. You're a contrarian. That's your thing. Congrats. Based on the responses in this thread, it looks like you're stealing my bit.

    This is seriously what their play by play announcer said. Their [expletive] play by play announcer said the umpire conspired to cost them this series.
  3. SouthSideRyan
    I wonder if Alan Trammel likes and respects Hendry. Sammy was a showboat no doubt. Other than King of the pricks, Mark Grace, who hated Sosa?
  4. SouthSideRyan
    Yeah, nevermind, I want to put a frown face next to Aaron's name. I'll even pay my own travel expenses.

    Can we sticky the case against Sandberg?

    Milwaukee is like 40% homeless people

    If you put them in and there was proof they juiced, it should be mentioned on their HOF plaque. "Sammy Sosa hit like, a [expletive] ton of HRs. Everybody loved it, especially in 98. Turns out he used steroids, so now a bunch of self-righteous dicks like to pretend that they hated him all along, but they really loved it. In conclusion, Sammy was really [expletive] awesome, but old people will hate him because he used steroids instead of doing something more honorable like stabbing black people(see Cobb, Ty)." Do you think they'd accept something like that? Not like that, obviously, but an asterisk with something like "player used performance-enhancing drugs during playing career" underneath it. Can I fly out to Cooperstown to etch the asterisk in Hank Aaron's plaque?

    Johnson

    Anything that shines the light on the embarrassing way the Cubs have handled Sosa since mid-'04 is fine by me.

    Eh??

    this is a great question. for those who have season tickets, what types of packages are available? if i were offered a season ticket package, i'm sure i could get a group of friends together to help pay for them. Bleacher season tickets exist. Aren't they grandfathered in? I believe they and nights and weekends were both eliminated a bit ago.

    Yahoo just assumed Ankiel would K. I can't blame them.

    Commercials for broadcasts refer to them as "Tyler Colvin and the Cubs" take on "________ and the _______" He's overrated

    I usually have a lot of faith in Delaney, but it seems like there's pretty much no doubt they botch this.
  16. SouthSideRyan
    Seriously, I think I'm going to be legitimately sad when he dies.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    What? Who cares?
  18. SouthSideRyan
    I know things change, but I'll still say it. Is C-USA ever going to win that game?
  19. SouthSideRyan
    Oh damn, I forgot about the part about Alou's brain being cream of wheat. That was the best part.

    Listening to season ticket holder's ideas on what should be done with the team is probably the last thing I want Ricketts to do. Sports fans are generally morons.
  21. SouthSideRyan
    That's disappointing.

    Tons of factors. Age, bench players, injuries, etc... Also worth noting is that Defensive Efficiency is simply the reverse of batting average on balls in play. It just keeps track of whether or not the play was made... not whether it should have been made. So it is possible the opposing teams had a disproportionate number of times where they simply managed to "hit em where they aint," so to speak. I would caution against chalking the whole thing up to bad luck though, we've definitely gotten a bit worse in the field the last few years. UZR would take into account the factors listed in your first line. It would also taken into account whether we've gotten worse in the field from '09 to '10.

    Somebody better act offended so I can post the origin of it or some people are gonna think I went all jaydee on the Caribbean
  24. SouthSideRyan
    Brain-dead Caribbean swinging at slop I imagine his defense has fallen off some too

    I'd imagine Memphis wants something in return. I don't think James Johnson is going to get it done.
