    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand tack an interception onto that.
  2. Outshined_One
    Ohio State's fumbled three times. That hurts.
  3. Outshined_One
    Pryor is not very smart.
  4. Outshined_One
    Man, the Big Ten sucks this season.
  5. Outshined_One
    Old fashioned football!
  6. Outshined_One
    I think a safety may actually be the best case scenario for OU at the rate this game is going.

    During the halftime show Stoops will tearfully take Sam Bradford out behind the stadium and put him down. That'll make for good television.
  8. Outshined_One
    Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
  9. Outshined_One
    He's up and walking around on the sideline, but it's clear something in his knee or ankle is bothering him.
  10. Outshined_One
    Aw, crap.
  11. Outshined_One
    would he have been taken ahead of stafford? he doesn't seem to have the pro tools. I think there was a decent chance of it happening. Bradford was more polished and pro-ready, as memory serves me.
  12. Outshined_One
    In spite of all the injuries, I think Bradford is still happy as can be that he's not a Detroit Lion.
  13. Outshined_One
    Bradford is in a lot of pain. Yikes.
  14. Outshined_One
    A-Rod never touched home plate, either.
  15. Outshined_One
    Go Vlad, go!
  16. Outshined_One
    That was unexpected.
  17. Outshined_One
    Why the hell is Torre taking the bat out of Martin's hands, even when he was up 3-0 in the count?
  18. Outshined_One
    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Dodger fans have broken out the wave.
  19. Outshined_One
    Still laughing? This game seems to be more about anemic offenses rather than awesome pitching.
  20. Outshined_One
    The Dodgers have missed their share of opportunities today. Yeowch.

    Patterson learned a lot of bad habits at the plate and he never managed to shake them. Whether it was piss-poor coaching as a young man in HS, terrible development on the Cubs' part while he was in the minors, bad managing and coaching in the majors, his own fault, or some combination of the above, the fact remained that he had plenty of issues at the plate. Now, whether or not you'd consider him a hit or a miss for the Cubs depends on how you evaluate him relative to his hype. If you look at him like any other prospect coming out of the minors, he was a marginal hit in that he provided high-quality defense, occasional pop, and some speed on the basepaths. If you look at him as someone who was once one of the top prospects in baseball and should have been a middle of the order staple for the Cubs for years to come, he was a miss.

    I think my brain blocked out a lot of these names. With good reason. 130/180
  23. Outshined_One
    Regarding Fukudome, his patience at the plate is quite welcome, but some things give me pause. He's very good defensively in RF and below average in CF. His power leaves something to be desired. His splits against lefties are troublesome. Perhaps he could use a platoon partner, but the Cubs could definitely stand to upgrade.

    i remember thinking at the time that Sosa had quite possibly just saved the season on that play. guess not. Yep. Plus, it was one of the best catches of Sosa's career. He came out of nowhere to snag that one.
  25. Outshined_One
    A few others for consideration... -Aramis Ramirez's grand slam against the Phillies last year -Todd Hollandsworth's catch in Anaheim in 2004 -Sosa's game-saving diving catch in Pittsburgh in late September 2004 (I want to say it was this game with Ty Wigginton at the plate in the 8th) -Reed Johnson's diving catch in Washington last year -Not technically a play, but a fan stealing Chad Kreuter's hat and the ensuing melee in the stands between the Dodgers and Cubs fans back in 2000 was one of the craziest things I've ever seen -This game, specifically when Kyle Farnsworth threw the same pitch roughly 50 times in a row to Julio Franco, who fouled off each one until he hit a long double to put the Braves ahead
