    Yeah come on. I was really hoping he'd at least put that in play. He needs a big hit

    Jaxon B trying to steal the suck spotlight from Jaxon A

    Nothing on Twitter yet, but with the double header it could be planned to get him a certain amount of PT tonight. Ugh. Wasn't he not in the lineup yesterday and off Monday? I know the whole injuries thing but dude has gotta play. Edit: nm ejected

    This is an ignorant question but how much of a delay to start 2015 would be needed to get that extra year of control for Baez and Bryant if they came up when rosters expanded on sept 1?

    I wondered if anyone else thought those sucked. I hate hate hate hate audio adds. its driving me nuts. I want to support Tim and all that but I keep forgetting I have my laptop sound off mute at work and then have NSBB's ads blaring out of nowhere. Please fix Tim!

    How exciting

    i hate ads. and i've stated in the past that i'd happily send money to support this board rather than clicking on dumb ads about whether i can pass an american citizenship quiz. Yeah, I'd paypal some once in awhile. tim@northsidebaseball.com, gents. I might need it in writing that this money won't be used for illicit purposes, and only for maintaining the site. sucker, your donating to support the relaunch of 312sports

    never cared about getting a dreamcast until my friend figured out how to download games and play whatever he wanted on the system.

    Am I the only one that remembers the Bears in talks with Gary to build a new stadium. That would have been this exact situation. What if the Bears played in Gary but their team offices were still in Lake Forest? Would they be an "Illinois-based team" then?

    The only one I can think of is imb vs erik. I know Meph got in a few fights. Edit: is NSBBLOL still a thing? Yes, it still exists. OMC/Sulley

    Well it can be a bit of a hive mind here because you guys scare off any other opinions so the only ones left are your own. Just because they are the only ones voiced here doesn't mean they are the only "worthwhile" ones. I thought about making that point, and groupthink is a concern, but there have been some pretty good debates in the past from our smarter posters who have differing opinions on a particular topic. Sure there are a lot of bad arguments to get to that one good one, but the good ones are worth the bad ones I think.
  12. UMFan83
    Or we could try to correct those uninformed opinions. Let's not pretend that we don't enjoy when a meatball comes on here spouting ignorance and we all jump in to get our licks in.

    the developer for Sonic admitted he came up with the idea for the game when trying to play Level 1-1 of the original SMB as fast as possible, which gave him the idea to create a mario clone with a super fast character.

    was he the dude that pitched in our rotation in 2006 after everyone got hurt? fake edit: Oh wait that was Juan Mateo.

    The Phillies are where we were at after 2009. Gigantic payroll, lots of bad contracts, declining veterans, shitty ass farm system, and a GM who tried to live in the moment and wasn't prepared when the bottom fell out. Of course the Phillies got to make the playoffs 5 straight years, appear in 2 World Series and win 1 while the Cubs failed to win a playoff game, so [expletive] them. Anyways, its going to take several years of rebuilding for them to have a contending team again IMO.
  16. UMFan83
    clearly you haven't visited desipio then. Hot sprot taeks fo' dat ass. That dude is to Cubs blogs as Neifi is to the best SS of all time. And he evidently hates Yellon. It's like Glass Joe fighting himself. Meh, desipio is cool, even though Andy still mentions in his infrequent posts something I said on here about him 7 years ago. If he ever went back to semi-regular posting and ripping on Cubs beat writers and bloggers, I'd visit every day.

    So Texas could have three [expletive] teams? what's wrong with one state having 3 teams? nothing wrong with it in theory, but SA is like somewhere in the mid-30's in terms of American TV markets, a heavy majority of the metro are huge Cowboys (and Texans) fans already, and the projected stadium needs rennovations (mainly needs about 50 more boxes to be NFL compliant) and is only seen as a temporary home, which means they will need a new stadium in the very near future. I can think of at least 2 North American cities that would be better fits for an NFL team (LA and Toronto).

    I actually have a legit memory of my parents taking me to some electonics section of a department store and buying it. I had no idea what it was because all my friends had NES. I was so pissed when I found out you couldn't play Mario on it. My uncle also had an SMS for the longest time. Him and I were the only 2 people I knew of that had one. All that said, Reggie Jackson baseball was the [expletive].

    I feel the opposite. There's a dozen psychopaths on here that scare me away from posting. :-) But the discussions are always either incredibly insightful or train wreck awful, so at least it's always interesting to read. this is what I was thinking was the reasoning. There are like 10 posters that make up like 85% of the posts on this forum and they all have an edge to them. then again, one of my first posts on this board was trying to argue that juan cruz could never be a starter because he was too skinny and didnt have stamina because of it, got torn apart, and I survived. I also once openly marveled at the fact that Matthew Broderick managed to catch a real foul ball at the game he attended while filming Ferris Bueller. I was (still am) an idiot.

    No one is going to be doing lines of coke or having sex in the bleachers if that's what your worried about. There's an occasional fight but highly unlikely on a weekday afternoon. Mostly just some language and possibly NSF kids heckling at the opposing OFers.
  21. UMFan83
    It still seems like he's had a lot of hard hit balls right at guys recently. I know. And he's walking at a great rate for him. Just sucks as I was hoping he'd have career best numbers this year. Still time I guess.
  22. UMFan83
    Had Sega Master System and NES. Remember playing games like Alf and Reggie Jackson baseball on SMS, but NES was the system I fell in love with. Next generation my parents bought me a Genesis so I guess I'm more of a Sega guy. From there I went Sony and have had every version of playstation since (although I had a wii like everyone else)

    Castro slump update: .219/.300/.267/.567 with 6 XBH (all doubles) in his last 143 PA (since June 20)
  24. UMFan83
    Is it possible the Cubs paid Jaxon all that money to blow every 5 days and help the Cubs get good draft picks?
  25. UMFan83
    Anyone know where to find OMC's (i think) old gif of the cat and the dead mouse clapping? Was trying to post it for the gif-fest
