  1. This is amazing. Thank you for this. I've definitely missed my share of games on TV in favor of coital experiences, but I voted 3 mos. because that's about as long as I've gone since I started dating my long-term girlfriend (4 years). I definitely could not get her to agree to any longer, even though she is also a huge Cubs fan. If I were single, I would hold out as long as was necessary with very little difficulty.
  2. and then about Ozzie's rats comment.... That is kinda funny but I was hoping we wouldn't stoop to their level
  3. Now if only we could get Soto hitting in front of Edmonds... One of the things I heard Lou talking about (could have been during the in-game interview, but not sure) was that he likes having a lefty hitting 5th behind Ramirez. Fuku batting second means Edmonds will remain fifth. I realize that, but it doesn't make it logical or a smart thing to do
  4. Now if only we could get Soto hitting in front of Edmonds...
  5. Rich Hills doing a good enough job of doing that on his own. Right. But if and when he gets it back together, and there are already two lefties in the rotation, I'm afraid he won't be given a chance in the rotation due to old-timey manager baseball theory bs.
  6. I love the fact that his voice sounds like it's coming from a 5'4" 140 pound man
  7. I would like this trade a lot, but I'm afraid this acquisition would totally neutralize Rich Hill.
  8. He does sound pretty classy there. I always thought he was a jerk.
  9. Just turned the game on. Has he been calling that crap all day?
  10. Quite frankly, that would be so dumb it's hard to comtemplate
  11. Someone one the board calls someone else a poopy face = I've had a pretty good day today.
  12. If the alternative is Coco Crisp, then I'm fine with him.
  13. It was lame, but it's not like Carp had been the picture of health prior to this, either. It may well end up being like Kerry Wood's situation: get injured early, come back and string together a few full, productive seasons, then break down. Look what you did!
  14. Yes it could. He could definitely make it worse.
  15. How is it dumb? It's obvious some pitchers are great unless in the save situation and then they can't handle it (LaTroy anyone). If you think the save is dumb then you have to think the win is dumb for starters (or loss). Why does it matter if they win or lose. All that matters is how many innings they pitch and what ERA they have. Same can be said about home runs. Who cares if he hits it over the wall all that matters is how many runs and rbis he gets throughout the season. Yep! This is correct. But I have to take issue with what Golden Thunder said. Most of us here know how flawed/superfluous the save stat is, but those who are paid to talk baseball, for the most part, do not. So, it is a little surprising that no one is talking about this because, no matter how silly it may be, sports writers and ESPN anchors normally eat the stuff up. Maybe this is a little more evidence of a growing east coast bias, where even things that would normally be a big deal aren't being reported because they are on the wrong side of the country. It's worth looking at, and certainly open to debate past the whole "the save is stupid" comments.
  16. FoxSports is an idiot
  17. This would shock me, given that he only hits from the right side for 25% of his PAs and doesn't exactly live in the opposite field.
  18. I didn't think he was doing especially well in AAA this year. I think this is an easy one for Lou.
  19. Not a single, solitary one IMO. I expect Soriano to get 75% of the starts there and Hoff and Ward to split the rest
  20. where the hell do we put him?
  21. Hopefully we'll blow them out tonight to rest Marmol and Wood. Of course we all know that's never a guarantee that we don't see Marmol
  22. Totally OT, but I find that you have a quote about intercourse in your sig right above a link to the members guidelines to be hilarious for some odd reason. And the quote being by another mod is too much for me
  23. LaPorta for Roberts would be catastrophically dumb
