I dislike them for the same reason so many on this board hate the Packers. I will be pulling for them though. Usually whenever an NFC South team wins the NFC their next year is horrible. Plus Atlanta is a douchey, LA of the South wannabe city who celebrated a dog killer as a hero. i thought it was the big apple of the south also what am i missing about vick...was there some sort of big fan outpouring of support when he went to prison? it's not like he played there after that.

Hate linking this blog but video board is up on the plaza building http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2017/1/23/14356708/wrigley-field-construction-update-january-21-22#the-new-video-board

youth is such a vastly overblown trait for pitching they all blow up

I hope it does

Came to post the same. How is that not a safety or at least down at the one? He didn't have complete possession until he was in the end zone.

hell yeah this offense is sick go falcons

i really want allen but i'd be cool with one of the safeties too

and not that money (or lack thereof) excuses it in any way to begin with, and I know it gets said every time a high profile celeb gets pegged for DUI or dies in a wreck, but why the hell aren't they being driven around when they go out and get trashed wtf

ties are awesome

well i mean even the guy who said the stuff this thread is about said he'd probably put him in there so

So would you have 11 separate ballots (c, 1b, 2b, 3b, ss, lf, cf, rf, dh, sp, rp)? Otherwise you are having the players from different positions competing for the same votes. I would be fine with that. meh, ok, fine, whatever. (mind you, i'm only saying that because i just don't care that much about what makes a player hof worthy and if i have any opinion on it, i'm for an inclusive HOF - but if i were forced to care i'd probably have an issue with these positions all being viewed as relative equals to a degree)

No. You entirely missed the point. Each position on the field might have different value in during a game, but HOF consideration is for the position that the player played vs. other in the same position in his era and of all time. No one is going to compare Ozzy Smith vs. Mike Schmidt vs. Steve Carleton and say one should be in the HOF and the others shouldn't. I'm not even going to get into the HOF stuff, because I don't really care about it and arguing over worthiness and what defines that can go a thousand different ways, but what you are saying about their statistical contributions makes no sense. And you started off by just saying it was bad because it weighs players based on position and that defensive metrics are for horsefeathers. Now you're saying it's because the HOF should be about being among the best at your position and your era, right? Is that your argument or isn't it? Do you think the HOF should be about x amount of players at each position generally making it, or do you think players do and should get credit for playing a more difficult position and hitting well while doing so? A player who played only 1B or DH will have to hit a lot better to be viewed in the same stratosphere as ARod, Wagner, Banks...this is true whether you're talking about how it's reflected in their WAR total or how it's reflected in the perception that dictates HOF voting. If a reliever is going to make it, he probably has a really damn exceptionally strong resume. Same goes for a DH. Like really damn exceptional among the already exceptional. And again, herein, I'm just talking about how their statistical contributions are measured and perceived. There's also the case to be made that the HOF isn't just about numbers, and that stuff like personality, leadership, and whatever else makes up their actual "fame" comes in, and I don't think that's entirely wrong. It's been handled subjectively in a lot of ways, right or wrong. I also, again, don't care that much about it. I just don't get how you think positional adjustment doesn't come into play with regard to their on field quantifiable production.

You think this is a bad thing? They do? What is your reasoning for posting these? Do you think a DH's or 1B's offensive numbers should be looked at in the same light as those of a SS or C?

heard the 49ers asked for permission to interview fangio for DC and the bears denied

is the point just flying over your head or something? his post was about the fact that more options on the FA market is a good thing. the cubs don't have to even consider signing him for that to be true. he LITERALLY said that. what is reading comprehension?

well it's not a hype video it's a film compilation. shows plenty of boring crap as well as highlights

update: it started to work like 15-20 minutes late

Anyone having any luck with the Green Day presale? It's supposed to have started 10 minutes ago, and I'm still not seeing a link to purchase.

How do you read that? Is +200 the best chance or the worse chance? it would be the one that pays out the least. theoretically, the one that they believe is most likely to happen (but there are other factors that go into that as well, like what they expect the betting public to do and/or what the betting public does). if you bet 100, and he goes to the bears, you win 200. if you bet 100 and he goes to the rams, you win 1800.

I was pissed when we weren't going after them seriously but once we got Rizzo I was all good on that part. Still wanted us to spend on good players, though.

99% sure that's jonny gomes

fwiw, the jo(h)ns did attend when the 2013 red sox went http://cbshartford.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/obama-2013-red-sox-getty-jewel-samad.jpg
