    lol, the offense starts hitting, so the pitching goes to crap.

    So how old were you when you suffered the massive head trauma? Seriously, I could never see myself sitting down, popping in the DVD to watch the video of a sporting event that I already know what happened and just about every other side story that went along with it. I don't know about you but I greatly enjoyed the Hawks winning the cup, it gave me a lot of joy. If I can recapture even 5% of that joy from popping in the DVD, its worth it every time. Youtube is nice, but until youtube can play blu ray quality movies on a 52 inch TV, this is worth my money. It's also cool to watch a DVD that Canucks fans will never have from their team.

    At least we still have 4 more years of Soriano!

    lol I don't know I guess I could watch all the highlights on youtube. I guess I was just sick of hearing all my friends in other cities bragging about watching their championship videos, so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

    This. It didn't specify if it was a typical 2010 Cubs loss, or a typical historical Cubs loss.

    It was mildly disappointing. I thought there would be more highlights of the various series, important goals, and such. Like Game 5 against Nashville -- how about the whole play to win in OT? The extra were pretty nice though. See I don't think I'll be disapointed tonight when I watch because I kind of expected it to not have a ton of action or parts of games. From what I understood, it's basically a 1 hour movie about the Hawks season, not necessarily a bunch of clips of plays from throughout the season. If you want that get the box set that's apparently coming out in October (I plan to). I also heard the Blu Ray edition isn't the highest quality either. Someone said it was on BR25 instead of dual layer (?!) I have no idea what that means, maybe someone here can explain how that affects the quality of the blu ray.

    I thought OleMissCub had cornered the market on girlfriends being stolen by major league pitchers Only pitchers that played in the 50's or earlier.

    Did you know... -The 11 runs the Astros scored tonight is a season high -This is only the 2nd time this season the Astros scored 10 runs or more -This is only the 10th time all season the Astros have scored more than 6 runs in a game

    Not that I don't respect what he's done, but if we didn't use those loopholes for Hossas contract, we could have saved ourselves from trading Buff, Versteeg, Ladd, and Co. for Hossa. Then again, I probably am not excitedly waiting for my Stanley Cup Champions Blu Ray tomorrow if that happens.

    Silva's last 2 starts: 2.1 IP, 13 H, 11 ER, 5 BB, 2 K, 42.43 ERA, 7.71 WHIP Before this meltdown, Silva had given up 12 ER in his last 7 starts (46.2 IP), had given up 5 walks in his last 7 starts as well.

    Good for Murt. In a world where Fukudome is considered a prodigious home run hitter and Tuffy Rhodes shares the single season HR mark, it's good to see little red succeed.
  13. UMFan83
    I didn't read the article, but the time has passed to replace managers. You are days away from trading key pieces on the team that effecively throws up the white flag on the season and now is the time you want to replace Lou? And I'm sure managerial candidates would be lining up to interview with a team that just pushed a respected manager out the door by forcing him to retire in the middle of the season.
  14. UMFan83
    598 I think BCB emphasized the wrong word. He meant no one will know how many home runs HE really hit. I'm pretty sure a cyborg was responsible for at least 150 or so.

    Just for fun....if the Cardinals and the Reds both went .500 the rest of the way, the Cubs would have to go 44-25 the rest of the way to tie the Cardinals. The problem is that there are 2 teams way ahead of the Cubs. If there was only 1 team, I'd say having a big comeback would be possible, if unlikely. But with 2 teams that far ahead, it's nearly impossible unless the Cubs play a 2001 Mariners type pace the rest of the season.

    Still an average OPS. For a 20 year old rookie SS?
  17. UMFan83
    Not that the cubs are going anywhere this year but it's really encouraging to see them within a caught relay of a 4 game sweep of the phillies. The offense is starting to heat up, something we've been waiting for all year long. It's possible the offense was just in a horrific slump all season and is starting to hit to potential, something that has happened to other teams before. Or maybe it's just a mirage - a brief moment of competency in a lost year.
  18. UMFan83
    And beat them he did.
  19. UMFan83
    I don't see the appeal for Markakis. He's a good player, gets on base which is great, but his .801 OPS last year and .839 OPS this year don't do it for me in a corner OF spot for $10+ million
  20. UMFan83
    Yeah he really is putting all the blame on Soto. I mean Soto did screw that up big time, but he didn't make Marmol walk 2 hitters before and didn't give up the single.

    One geo caught ball from 'maybe things are turning around'. Now its back to the tailspin.

    catch the ball geo

    same here. it seems to sell out within 5-8 minutes. i tried for the washington game and was told no tickets available for 200 section by 10:07. I just pulled up 2 tickets in the 200 level for the washington game, but they were club level, $250 seats. Screw that. Another thing I hate about ticketmaster is that can't look for best available under lets say $100 or something. If you search for 2 tickets at the $68 range, you are really narrowing down your chances of pulling tickets, especially if you don't mind paying anything under $100. But if you search best available, you always end up with some $250 tickets you can't afford.
  24. UMFan83
    shut out for the 2nd year in a row. I got lucky and got 2 tickets to a game in 2007 but since then nothing.
  25. UMFan83
    I don't know...with the internet, 400 different cable channels, MLB Extra innings, MLB.tv, I don't think having the games on WGN has the effect it used to. The Cardinals aren't on KMOX anymore and the Braves aren't on TBS anymore, so I guess they don't think it's a big deal either.
