  1. The US literally has nothing to do with my enjoyment of the World Cup. I love it, and I'll watch it
  2. Wow, an uncalled-for personal attack in the very first post of a thread. Stay classy, Rocket. You are a gigantic baby. If you're going to keep doing what you do, grow some thicker skin. That was an awesome find, Rocket!
  3. Shawon had a cannon. My dad said that, too. Yeah, I was too young to really know that.
  4. I was trying to think of the last Cubs SS to have an arm like that. Nomar maybe? Otherwise, I'm not sure
  5. I'd wait till we're out of contention before you even think about getting those. Craigslist only works locally.
  6. Since I'm in Chicago, I do quite a bit of craigslist. As far as my seat preferences, I like anything in the 400s or 218-224, which is behind the plate but up. I used to show up day-of and get terrace resvd for $30 up in 222. They were excellent seats. Just watch out for obstructed view. What was that site that lets you see the view from any seat in the ballpark? I lost the URL, but that was a great tool.
  7. Right, so why wouldn't he want to go to one of those instead of some sweep of a doubleheader in May of 2004? Because he's trolling? Yes. Jake is definitely trolling. And he's also definitely the only one doing so in this thread.
  8. They are going to tee off on Gorzo tonight. And the Cubs will be stymied by Moyer. Cubs' win streak ends in a laugher tonight
  9. Been doing that for a couple of years now... Oh, you mean Prior
  10. The legitimate point he made was that they decided to show him running slowly as a gag rather than show a legitimate highlight that summed up the game. The writer missed it, too. Unfortunately, he also made a point that it was mean-spirited even though he agreed with the general sentiment. That really hurts his case, but the above shouldn't be overlooked. Especially by the writer of the article. ETA: Hell, he even did kinda paraphrase Benji's point and didn't give him credit for it! "I didn't even think the ESPN knew there was baseball on the west coast." Duh, dude. That's exactly what the guy was trying to say, only he couldn't come right out and say it.
  11. Also, the comments on the original article are hi-larious
  12. Hanley is awesome in more ways than I thought possible. I don't like that he dogged it, but I like that he's not at all modest about his (baseball) awesomeness.
  13. i kind of feel like that about when i was at game 5 of the NLCS when the cubs went up 3-1 in the series. the stadium was all cubs fans and at the time, we thought we had basically just won the pennant and were going to the world series. i'll never forget what the place was like after the game. the tunnels were completely swarming with cubs fans just yelling and high fiving everyone that walked past. people were doing the hop/high five thing that sosa/alou/lofton did in the outfield after wins too. it was completely insane. craziest sports moment of my life, even though it ended up being meaningless. This is so angsty and stupid and just flat-out wrong. I swear, some Cubs fans don't deserve a WS. this doesn't even really make sense. are you telling me how i feel about that season? or are you saying that the horrible collapse after game 4 didn't take away any of the impact that the previous games had? I'm saying it isn't rendered meaningless by what happened in the following games. You were there, you and everyone else were elated by what was going on. I don't see why this should be something negative in your memory. It's certainly not meaningless. You were lucky to be there, in that moment. Your current evaluation of this memory is most definitely angsty, in my opinion.

  15. I want to know what Santo is worse at - broadcasting or being healthy. Maybe this needs a poll
  16. Right now it's screaming out to right center. Wind out of the SSW at 24 mph per noaa.gov
  17. There are 2 on the current team. How dare you interrupt my hyperbole with facts!!! And Ronny Cedeno is waving to you from Pittsburgh! Bobby Crosby and Ronny Cedeno up the middle is so damn unbelievable and funny to me.
  18. That was me. My bad. Speaking of people who have disappeared, whatever happened to mlpeel? Bwhahah that was you? And now your avatar is of a baby. Awesome. Wow dude Maybe I didn't understand him, or maybe it wasn't him, but someone made fun of me and someone else for having our kids in our sigs. I thought it was him that did, but maybe it was him that was also made fun of. It just seemed very obviously sarcastic (and unfunny) to me. Even though he is Erik, that sounds more like something Mizzou or maybe Cynosure would do.

  20. Good post. This is pretty much exactly how I feel about Hendry.
  21. The bold text is completely false. You had a few people here gung-ho for Lou, but most were vehemently opposed against hiring him even when it was just being suggested before Dusty was actually gone. When Lou was got hired the general consensus beyond those fanatical few was basically "at least he's not Joe Girardi/it could be worst" in terms of being positive. Really? I guess I wasn't quite here then, but I find this kind of hard to believe. Who else did people want?
