  1. I'm surprised she married you after this. I haven't seen the movie. I couldn't even sit through that whole clip I posted. The team was flipping channels in the clubhouse one day and came upon the movie. They adopted the Z hand size from that. They all thought the movie was horrible. Now the fans are doing it too. That doesn't mean that you have to take up 1/3 of every page you post on. Knug Foo Panda flashed it to Cutch at the all star game.
  2. Why? Dempster was within his rights to torpedo the trade. He exercised those rights. How can you support punishing some one that has done nothing wrong? The thing that he may very well have done wrong is lie to his bosses about his intentions. I dont understand Dempster's motivation for doing that though? I'm not saying he couldn't have lied, I'm just not sure why he would do that.
  3. It's obvious Dempster is giving this game to Pittsburgh because it hurts the Braves' chances in the Wild Card.
  4. I'm sure Theo is still hanging out at his old Fenway Park office throwing a football around with his bros.
  5. Strangely enough Ron Santo did receive death threats as a player. One of the two documented threats was from a Mets fan though
  6. Resting him for the stretch run. Hell yeah, looks like we are keeping the band together to see if this 17-7 run is a fluke or if its the start of an improbable playoff push!!
  7. from ESPN.com's MLB page http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2012/0725/rodriguez_alex_g_mp_576.jpg lol, this was on their front page several years ago when Jeter hurt his shoulder: http://bronxbanter.arneson.name/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/gal_jeter-shoulder.jpg
  8. Yeah I bet they are increasingly confident knowing they are the only team Dempster seems willing to go to, and knowing that the Cubs will get laughed at if they try to hold out for Zach Lee any longer.
  9. 0% if Garza doesn't come back strong very soon. WSR seems to think we can pull the ol' switcheroo and slip Soriano in there for Dempster and finish the trade.
  10. .225/.291/.347/.638 in the last 55 games for all-star Bryan TheHair.
  11. Suck it umps! RAISE IT *stupid finger thing*
  12. The problem is the 'has to be conclusive to overturn' thing. So you are putting a heavy bias on what the umpire originally thinks he sees, and not letting the umpire use the replay to make the correct judgement. Even more annoying is that in the NFL, it seems to go back and forth between the refs actually following the 'conclusive to overturn' rule' or not.
  13. And its a "double" Can they at least kick those idiot fans out? That should be mandatory when a fan interferes with a ball.
  14. It looks like a HR to me but I'm not sure if the umps will think its conclusive
  15. Career line against the Cubs: .330 .378 .596 .974 6 HR, 22 RBI (that line doesn't include the HR just now, but the total number of HR and RBIs does)
  16. BOOO DUMPSTER!! purposely giving up home runs so he can keep selling dempster oreo cookie milkshakes at potbellys on southport
  17. I am absolutely stunned that gvillecub hasnt had anything to say about this whole scenario.
  18. Rizzo has gotten a hit in 18 of his 21 games this year. Pretty sweet. Hasn't gotten an XBH since before the ASB though. Overall if this is the "pitchers adjusting" period, he's handling it pretty damn well.
  19. The only big loss given who we got to replace him is Asik. It immediately gets rid of our best advantage besides Rose which is 2 lockdown defensive bigs coming off our bench. I think that's a huge loss. I don't mind the Bellineli signing. I don't think he's gonna give us the spacing we got with Korver out there but he will be able to do a little more overall than Korver. Butler instead and Brewer is a downgrade next year i think but long term it's the right move. Hinrich for Watson is a near wash although they do similar things. Overall the bench will be worse and not as game changing as it was last year. But I don't think it's gonna lose us games either.
  20. It's OK to reach for the stars as long as you grab and asteroid or two on the way down when you miss. For the last time, we are not dumping Reed Johnson on a team that calls to inquire about Castro.
  21. Holy [expletive]. Hah, yeah, I'm still around. Sometimes. It's the rare slow day at work with not many of the boss-people here. I'm welcoming myself back to the interwebs. How much did that Reyes HR hurt you?
