    And none on hits. I think both the Cubs hits in that inning were IF hits too.

    Would be funny if he was inserted into the game at 3:01

    Starlin is 17th out of 24 qualified SS in WAR according to ESPN's numbers.

    Bum or TT?

    UMFan83 replied to imb's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    Yup. Sorry TT

    A 20 year old tearing up AA at a premium position and widely regarded as a top 10 prsopect under team control for the next 7 years or a 28 year old who is good but not great as an MLB OF, making 10.5 million this year and next before becoming a FA? Hmm tough choice.

    thats nuts...cespedes isn't that great though and makes 10.5m a year
  9. UMFan83
    yes but stop posting all these gifs, they take forever to load on 56k

    Maybe this is a good time to extend the olive branch to Bum so we can have another accomplished writer on the site. Though I don't know if we can pull him off the oil fields for long enough to write a quality article.
  11. UMFan83
    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!
  16. UMFan83
    How exciting
  17. UMFan83
    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?
  20. UMFan83
    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
  21. UMFan83
    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.
  22. 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.
  24. UMFan83
    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.
