  1. They're a place that has a lot of running jokes and gimmicks. Hoops occasionally writes in to some columns and gets his trade ideas published every now and again, and this is a website dedicated to openly mocking most Chicago sports columnists, so yeah.
  2. I had a post on this in an earlier thread. Here it is:
  3. Fun thread idea. 1B - Mark Teixeira 2B - Rickie Weeks (although Howie Kendrick might overtake him in the near future) SS - Bobby Crosby (if Upton ever gets it together defensively, he'll have this spot, no questions asked) 3B - David Wright OF - Delmon Young OF - Grady Sizemore OF - Miguel Cabrera C - Joe Mauer (Brian McCann may take his place if injuries keep biting him, though) SP - Carlos Zambrano RP - Huston Street CL - Francisco Rodriguez
  4. That falls more on the stupidity of the manager than on the players themselves. Come on, don't make it sound like Patterson, Neifi, and Macias had good or even passable OBPs. Hairston was up and down. But I'd take some one like Murton, Cedeno, or Walker over Podsednik offensively without much of a second thought.
  5. Is it me or are good managers non-existent in the NL Central?
  6. This same player blew Game 4 of the NLDS for the Braves with two outs in the ninth inning. To Brad Ausmus. He also ended up being traded for a young & cheap reliever with decent stuff and a third baseman who had a breakout season in one of the hardest hitting leagues in the minors.
  7. Jenks is listed at 270 pounds and is well over six feet tall...
  8. 1876 thru 2005 team W L pct Chicago Cubs 9835 9291 0.514 Chicago White Sox 8203 8020 0.506 Post season appearances CUBS 14 sox 8 World Series appearances CUBS 10 sox 5 World Series wins CUBS 2 sox 2 World Series thrown CUBS 0 sox 1 8)
  9. Since when did Michael Barrett become a pitcher?
  10. I'd say that there are maybe three people in that entire ballpark who like Liz Phair.
  11. Who does the organ work at Wrigley?
  12. For some reason, I have the "Magical Trevor" songs go through my head every time I see Wandy Rodriguez. I think it's because of his "Magical Wandy" nickname...
  13. Yes, but much like the Jeffrey Maier thing, all of Yankees history is conveniently written in such a way to make it look like the Yankees won every playoff series cleanly, fairly, and evenly.
  14. FYI, I'm praying that we have a Ronnie Woo Woo appearance at the Cellblock some time during this series. Having him annoying the holy crap out of Sox fans would make my year.
  15. I hope Bernie Mac gets shot out of a cannon into Lake Michigan.
  16. The VW Passat: Making drug trafficking easier and more convenient than ever!
  17. And there's the customary Cubs bashing.
  18. I think I just saw a flock of sparrows come flying out of Bagwell's beard.
  19. Looks like it What's the old saying if you can't beat em, join em? Eh, more like Schaudenfreude on my end of things. Misery loves company, ya know?
  20. Of course, this being a game shown in Chicago, Fox must show proper love and respect for Vince Lombardi.
  21. Joe Buck: World-renowned expert in international relations and the Cuban economic structure.
  22. Tadahito Iguchi was absolutely crucial to the White Sox this season and pretty much proved that some guys can come over and immediately produce, especially given how cheap he was. I wonder if that'll have an impact on some of the guys who are posted?
  23. That game broke an agonizing losing streak in which the bullpen was completely shot. I saw that one as justifiable because, at the time, the Cubs needed a big shot in the arm and that CG win was absolutely huge. They needed to break that losing streak if they wanted any chance at actually competing for the WC/Division. Of course, that turned out to be a completely moot point. Everything looks completely obvious in hindsight, ya know? That said, there were plenty of other instances in which I was incredibly pissed off at Dusty for overworking the arms.
  24. Mwahahahahahahahaha.
