    Too bad that didn't hit Lloyd in stride... that might be a TD if it does (and no Madden, that wasn't perfect). But it was good enough.

    Orton is really not very good at those type of passes. That was brutal.

    YAY!! Cubs clinch!

    I always felt bad for LaTroy -- in particular because he really was misused by Dusty. For whatever reason, he just can't handle the 9th and yet Dusty kept sending him out there.

    Given that they've already fired Yost, my guess is that Bill Hall will be sacrificed and fed to Prince Fielder, thus ending Prince's vegetarian-inspired power outage and ridding the Crew of Hall's abysmal play and attitude.

    This is quite surprising, to say the least. Frankly, I'm shocked (and not in a Casablanca kind of way). I have no idea if Sveum would be a decent manager. This will definitely have the effect of shaking things up in the Milwaukee clubhouse. Given their torpor of late, I have to think it couldn't hurt. Besides, Yost was a moron.

    so you're telling me there's a chance. YEAH! Cue crazy Cardinal youtube guy.

    Good call. Better not overturn this one, refs. Tillman still sucks. :D :-))

    It's all right. I declare myself ineligible for all awards beyond mere bragging.

    Reed's defense is every bit as good as Fukudome. I can't think of a proper way to say that this is not true at all. Agreed. Not only that, but Kosuke's range is pretty incredible. He cuts down the RCF gap significantly and gets to balls he has no business catching.

    When you're already losing 12-3 in the 8th seems pretty safe. He'll kill our run differential! Okay, we can relegate him BP pitcher.

    I think you guys are talking across each other's point. Ping makes a very interesting and valid point which I think is thought-provoking. I agree that K's are no better or worse, all things considered, than any other kind of out. While Dunn is an excellent on-base machine and hits for an awful lot of power, Ping is noting that Dunn also works himself into bad counts and is a very average hitter (as compared to the league average) with two strikes. His combined 0-2, 1-2, 2-2, and 3-2 numbers for his career are .150/.273/.305/.578. Compare that to the MLB average with two strikes for 2008: .198/.273/.308/.580. His patience is an asset, of course, but it also seems to hurt him quite a bit as well. If he's taking hittable strikes just to get deep in the count, that's pretty clearly not to his -- or his team's -- advantage. Now, it may be that Dunn is doing as well as he can with his skill set. I don't know. But it's very interesting nonetheless.

    Congrats! It's pretty great. My boy is just about two months old. There are some downsides, of course, but it's definitely worth it. My mom already bought him a little Lee jersey T. I brought him home in a Cubs onesie... he was swimming in it, but I had to get him started early.

    Yes. They should paint it black. I see a red room. Door. You're showing your age. :ninja: Eh? What's that sonny? I can't hear you. Do you and Fred have discussions about which brand of hearing aid is the best? :lol: Thankfully, no. I'm not THAT old. But a new baby does take it out of you.

    I would let it go. We're in a pennant race. Win this "battle" by scoring more runs and sweeping the season series, not by plunking some Brave in the ribs.

    MLB is way too secretive about the actual process. It's both amusing and irritating.

    not the first time you've said that. ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING. Actually... that's what your wife was telling me. Hey-yo! :P

    I love hockey, but like many other fans, the slide of the Hawks starting in the mid-90's did me in. Plus, I've lived in various places that weren't close to Chicago. It's tough to follow the Hawks if you can't watch them on television.

    I'm in love with this tool.

    Really, even after we pantsed them four straight games in their ballpark, against their top 4 starters? They're winning because they're playing the worst teams in the NL at home right now. yeah, all all i know is that sheets and cc are doing it old school with shutouts and complete games. hopefully that means they'll be tired down the stretch, but they are dominating major league teams right now. please stop winning, brewers. More like AAAA teams.
