    I think that qualifies as karma.
  2. Outshined_One
    Yeah, you're right, we're screwed. :(

    Remind me again what Marquis is being paid versus what Hill is being paid.

    Who's bashing him? But while we're on the subject, this mess is his fault. Is it not? Dink hits, an injury, and terrible umpiring? Yep, must be his fault.
  5. Outshined_One
    Yes, let's blame Hill for this inning. It's so much fun to bash him!!!!!

    He's our own David Eckstein. ...except David Eckstein is a better hitter. I just threw up in my mouth a bit.

    Jim Thome has always been one of my favorite guys in baseball, but The Dugout somehow vaulted him ahead and made me like him even more. I can't explain why a fictional AIM chat parody among baseball players has had that effect on me, yet it has.

    The problem is, if you take this kind of argument to its logical extreme, you can pretty much make the following arguments: 1) You can't argue that A-Rod playing SS on this team would give this team any more wins than it has. 2) You can't argue that Neifi playing SS on this team would give this team any more losses than it has. In terms of probability, no, we can't say with absolute 100% certainty that Soto would have been given this team more wins than Hill/Bowen/Kendall/Blanco. There's always a possibility that Soto would perform as well as or worse than that quartet. However, given Soto's production in the majors and AAA, I think there's an incredibly good chance the Cubs' offensive production would have increased with Soto behind the dish as opposed to the four catchers mentioned above. With better offensive production, this team would have more wins.

    Hmmmmmmmmm...should I continue with my Cubs fast or go back to watching games? The stress level this weekend seemed almost unbearable.

    No timeouts = No challenges

    Just gotta tip your cap. At least we got a split. Throw out the standings when these two teams meet. They're a tough team and we were lucky to take 2 out of the 4 in their home stadium. /bitter

    Remember we were talking about a team getting 6 hits in an inning and not scoring? That's coming up for the Cubs.

    I hate Nick Saban out of principle, but that was a great drive to end the game.
  17. Outshined_One
    Ditto Arkansas.

    Good Luck Chuck is like a lost Domino's driver. IT WILL NOT DELIVER!

    Depends on the reactions of the runners. Imagine three flyballs hit to someone like Soriano that just barely drops in front of him (causing the runners to hold until the drop), but Soriano immediately grabs the ball and guns it to home for the out. that would still be a fielder's choice, I think. you see that kind of play at 2nd fairly often. Really? I always thought they score that as a hit.

    Hmmm... Single Single Single Single (runner thrown out at the plate) Single (runner thrown out at the plate) Single (runner thrown out at the plate) Sounds about right. That'd be a fun inning to watch.

    Back and forth affair, Southern Cal is up 14-10 halfway through the 2nd quarter.
  23. Outshined_One
    Well duh. You are watching, aren't you? Turn it off quick. Nah, I'm flipping between Southern Cal/Nebraska, Arkansas/Bama, and BC/GTech.
  24. Outshined_One
    Well duh.

    Andre Woodson is going to make a heck of a case for the #1 overall pick this year. The dude's good.
