    It's an AP story. None of those sites typically write the "news" stories themselves. They just post up the Associated Press stories. They sometimes add their own stuff later on, but for most run of the mill stories they don't. Welcome to the forum!
  2. David
    We have a winner. This kind of stuff has been going on forever. His teammates don't like it, but they move on. Thank you, Bruce.
  3. David
    Meph sighting :shock:
  4. David
    If it's the AP story that's running that "blow to the Cubs chances" thing, it's going to be on every national media outlet.
  5. David
    I'll be at the game on the 7th. Sitting 5 rows behind the Cubs dugout. Where are you at? Don't quite have tickets yet. :D) I should know soon, though... or we might just end up buying at the window.
  6. David
    The other problem with setting the expectations for an early return is that now people are going to freak the hell out again if they actually do the smart thing and wait a little longer (see Harden, Rich).
  7. David
    lol Bruce saying that players are now using Cialis combined with Red Bull/Coffee in place of amphetamines...
  8. David
    lol at Levine just saying that Z's never been on the DL I get his point, but yea
  9. David
    huh? All I'm saying is, if Z isn't 100%, which he probably won't be, is that still better than Lilly when it comes to the NLDS? The NLDS is a month away. Since there appears to be nothing structurally wrong beyond inflammation, there's plenty of time for him to rest his shoulder and heal up. What I am not totally happy about is the seeming indication that they're going to skip him once and be done with it.
  10. David
    Or just rest him (and treat him) and let that inflammation subside.
  11. David
    Looks like they gave him a special MRI that didn't require the dye injections. From a sound bite I just heard from Hendry, they injected him with some anti-inflammatories (cortisone I'm guessing?)
  12. David
    hahahah wow media is awesome

    I'll come out and admit that I wanted to buy tickets to as many games as possible and go to them with my friends. AND I'll come out and say that I don't think any less of Mizzou for trying to sell tickets. This. I didn't sell any of the 8 playoff tickets I got last year. But I have sold tickets to games and see absolutely NOTHING wrong with making a profit off an asset that is in GREAT demand.
  14. David
    Not really, but OK. Go read some newspaper articles about baseball and tell me any of them (with FEW exceptions) are worth a crap. The mainstream sports/baseball media is still dominated by archaic thinking and sensationalism.
  15. David
    The same could be said about just about any "work" that involves using a computer. It takes complete focus & attention, some effort, and knowing what you're doing. It's not exactly easy.
  16. David
    How about this... take a day off and work some crazy high paying odd jobs to buy tickets on StubHub... :mrgreen: Then we'll see who REALLY wants to go.
  17. David
    ...meanwhile, the Trib still doesn't have the story. Sun Times beat them to the punch by quite a bit on this one.
  18. David
    Because it's not serious. The media just loves to run with things. Harden + discomfort = instant story. Giving him an unnecessary MRI would just cause him pain and cause him to miss more time.
  19. David
    Am I crazy or would the Houston series = only missing one start... I'd sure rather wait a little and have him get about two tune-up starts in before the playoffs.
  20. David
    Let's change the thread title with this latest encouraging information...
  21. David
    Yes. Mainstream, at least. The great thing about the internet is that it's made better sources (and worse, obviously) of information available to everyone. Would this whole baseball enlightenment period have ever moved as much as it has without it?
  22. David
    Same here. I never read the paper when they are losing. just pisses me off more. Same goes for sports radio. Sometimes I give in and listen on my drives, but I always regret it when the moron brigade starts calling in
  23. David
    I also don't get why some people are so offended by people's facial expressions. Some people make a face that resembles a smile when they're expressing frustration. I do it. Lots of athletes do it. Lots of people do it. Is he supposed to force a frown or something? I've seen people make the same comments about Grossman when he makes a dumb play or something and it baffles me. I mean, obviously you don't think he's expressing happiness or that he's thinking it's funny, right? Seriously...wtf?
  24. David
    Why are you reading it? I haven't looked at the papers since Sunday or Saturday...
  25. David
    I'm surprised that people are acting like it's some amazing new revelation that Zambrano is an a-hole.
