  1. Slugger's had a really good burger back in the day Agreed. Their BBQ bacon cheese burger was pretty tasty. Stupid flood. That's the one I was thinking of. The owners' daughter was in my hs graduating class. Good times
  2. Eh I didn't really make myself clear there. My point was that the ump was squeezing the strike zone smaller the more demp argued and it came to a head when they yelled at each other. Once demp leaves, there is no grudge and the ump shows he could've called a decent game had he chosen to do so.
  3. The ump started calling the corner as soon as Demp left the game. I think he really pissed him off during their little exchange in the fourth. As for Lou's managing, I would be really interested to hear what Trammell thinks of some of these moves. Anybody have an idea as to what kind of "veto" influence a bench coach has in these borderline situations? I think (and hope) that Trammell would disagree with some of these but decide it's not his place to offer a contrary opinion. Lou had me scratching my head all game today; I have to believe that not all of the coaching staff were in support of Ascanio hitting for himself before leaving in favor of Cotts.
  4. I can't even articulate how frustrating this is.
  5. I reiterate, east coast bias. Most of people's beefs are with guys in big east coast markets.
  6. When was that? lol good catch
  7. To be fair Braun is not a good fielder to put it kindly. Though this list probably had all of nothing to do with someones all around game. Yeah, of course he isn't, but he doesn't cost you many more runs hidden in left than Jeter at short. Not the best example, I'll admit, but it's total bs that he's not top 25. And ftr, I hate the mfer
  8. Jeter #8 is particularly disgusting, while the general east coast bias is troubling. Just because you don't know who the [expletive] Ryan Braun and Zack Greinke are doesn't mean they aren't outstanding players who might both belong in the top ten
  9. Football teams and basketball teams have guards. You can't change the guards on your baseball team..... there aren't any !! Heinrich to play guard for the Bears? How many sports have forwards besides basketball? Volleyball and Hockey both have Centers. Yikes
  10. Wow it looks like brewers fans are still stuck in the dark ages of baseball analysis. Mental edge? Team chemistry? Is this what is used to explain away lucky outcomes?
  11. Slugger's had a really good burger back in the day
  12. wtf was that, iphone
  13. Bills wins this thread with a show of unprecedented domination. But as good as their burgers are, their shakes are better
  14. "We're dealing with some serious [expletive] here!" My favorite scene in that movie
  15. I'm having a lot of fun this season despite not being able to watch hardly any games. Theriot is seriously outstanding to watch right now and Bradley is about to hit like he is capable.
  16. IIRC, Patterson was on pace to demolish the single-season triples record before the injury as well.
  17. you're kidding me, he hit two!?
  18. Maybe not, but his streak will be caught before Ted Williams' Who knows what I'm talking about?
  19. Braun has a decent arm. That's it. He is not on a par with Soriano defensively. The "he's new to the position" defense is totally weak. We aren't arguing about Braun's upside as a defender or his athletic ability. We are arguing that he hurts a team NOW with his defense; and we're right. I'd love to have him on my team. I'd take the (significant) defensive downgrade from Soriano for his offense this year. He's probably going to make up for it this year and certainly will in the future. Who gives a crap about errors
  20. I want the guy with the super clever name to post more posts
  21. Until they decide to completely discount defense, he should not win an MVP
  22. I didn't see the game, but the game story I read on my phone said his homerun made up for his play that turned an RBI double into a triple, to Kendall I think. But considering Kendall didn't end up scoring, I'm not sure how turning an RBI double into an RBI triple made any difference, or how he needed a 2 run HR to "make up for it". A 2 run HR more than makes up for a missplay that doesn't actually result in any runs scoring. That was still a really frustrating play, and should have been an error. It was a really bad effort; all he has to do is bend his knees a little to cut it off and he maybe has a play at 2nd. Also, he had a really bad jump on that ball.
