    Nobody told me there were sluts at Nascar events.
  2. SouthSideRyan
    I'm afraid this is going to end right away. I'd really like at least another 15 sets.

    It would be a bit distracting if Kosuke is truly walking back and forth on the bench during the games.

    There are more days in June that aren't summer than there are that is summer. 20 days are "spring" 10 days are summer. We're not using the farmer's almanac or some arcane meteorological definition here. When people talk about summer they're including June. What people?

    I'm pretty confident Huet is going to the minors

    He's taken off his shoes and one of his socks and... actually, I think he's crying.

    You probably wouldn't be defending him so much if he wasn't Belgish.

    Sounds like a pretty stupid rule

    If people are too [expletive] stupid to read the relevant posts then firebomb this thread.

    As would probably 75% of the league. I dont see Paul going anywhere. Rumor also floating around that the Nets are looking at taking Wesley Johnson with the 3rd pick instead of taking Favors or Cousins..... I think the Nets are crazy for not taking Cousins 3rd. A Cousins/Lopez frontcourt would look pretty good for the next several years. Until Cousins goes crazy. Favors > Cousins Cousins NBA career > Favors NBA career. And i bet it won't be very close. All bets are off if Cousins goes crazy and commits a homicide though. Well there's like a 70% chance he murders somebody in the next 20 years, so I don't know why you discount it so quickly.

    We traded Felix Pie before he was given a real shot in the majors for half of Aaron Heilman. Blows my [expletive] mind.

    One can only wonder what this means for the future of the Green Party.

    Some things never change. Haha, just saw this one too. Don't you you all agree how much it sucked to have Aramis go 0-3 with a strikeout in every game over the past 6 years. Seriously, [expletive] that guy, he didn't run out a pop up one time, I ripped my child straight from his seat that day and told him we'd never set foot in the park again until we got rid of this hack.
  20. SouthSideRyan
    I wouldnt hold your breath. Hell I haven't even seen anything saying ARam is completely healthy yet. My thoughts, too. I'm kind of thinking he needed an attitude adjustment as well, not sure he got that. Yeah those 6 years of all star performance made him think he didn't suck. The prick.

    How could one accurately say they KNOW they are not? But yet you are saying just that. All I know is the pressure on the Cubs is a) different, and b) probably greater than that faced by a "typical" team/player. You don't know either of those things. Sorry to break everyone's hearts, but most players couldn't care less about the history of the Cubs and what winning a title would mean to Cubs fans. To the extent that the players are reminded of it by the media, and having to answer questions about it, then yes it can and probably does add to their stress or pressure or whatever. If nothing else it's a distraction. It might be even worse to have to listen to the stupid curse talk over & over again when you don't give a damn. Well yeah, I find it really annoying, but I wouldn't say it's distracting me.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    That's a lot of thoughts going through a player's head in a split second

    Because they were the 3 droughts of epic proportions. Nobody cares about the Giants not winning in 50 some years, people knew who Willie Mays was. All the Cubs, Red Sox, and White Sox guys were dead or banned Doesn't explain why you used a 20 year window, mentioned three teams and an 8-0 record. It's two teams and it all took place within the last 6 years. Cause 20 sounded better but 25 included Red Sox losses 24 would have sounded really badass. Round numbers only you should know that. Anyways, despite my numerous mistakes, my point still stands, pressure don't mean [expletive] if you're good and lucky. If the Cubs had the Cardinals postseason last year, everyone would blame it on too much pressure. If the Cubs were the Mariners under Lou, everyone would blame it on pressure. It makes a nice "baseball is a mystical game that nobody can understand" story after the fact, but that's all it is a story, to try and make something more out of it than it was. A few teams who weren't that good to begin with ('89, 98, '07), a team that got hot and beat a team they shouldn't have, only to get cold and lose to a team they shouldn't have ('03), and a couple teams that went cold at the wrong time to inferior teams ('84, '08) OH THE PRESSURE!!
