I'd rather be rooting for Colorado to win to help the Cubs win the division. let's say that when the cards play the rockies the cubs are 4 games back of st louis for the division, but tied with colorado for the wild card. you'd still root for colorado? if it would help the cubs get into the playoffs, of course i'd root for the cards. my love for the cubs will always trump my dislike for the cards. oh, i thought your post meant that you'd rather root for the rockies no matter what the deficit to the cardinals was.

Cubs 2nd to last in the NL in OPS aftrer 7th inning
17 Seconds replied to mcgoobs's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
In my scenario, I also failed to mention whether the run scored or not. I'm just like a predator toying with his prey at this point. More mind games forthcoming. okay, if the run didn't score... that still means the run that takes the other team from 5 runs away from slam range to 4 runs away from slam range just got moved 90 feet closer to home, thanks to the clutchness of aramis! he basically is insuring victory all by himself -

If he hits a single with a runner on second in a 9-1 game in the 4th inning...is that clutch? hell yeah it is. then we're only 3 runs from slam range HA! I never said the Cubs were losing in this situation. You've fallen right into my trap! well if they're winning, that run puts the other team 5 runs away from slam range instead of 4. clutch man, clutch -

aramis has good risp numbers every year. in the regular season, at least. -
Believe me, it's tedious. The fact is, folks should be praising Samardzija for saving the bullpen on Friday. Only because he ate 4 innings were the other 5 guys spared overuse. But he's one of the board's favorite whipping boys, so of course that credit isn't coming. signing bonus, ntc, gets shelled every time out... and you want me to praise him for pitching 4 innings in relief? it doesn't surprise me that you seemingly share the same man crushes as jim though, considering you're the biggest jim hendry apologist on the site.
-
he was wasted though. he said he doesn't even remember if he asked for it. it was probably one of those things where he was like "well i'm already wasted, i might as well enjoy this single relapse as much as possible and do some blow"

So Beckham has to wait five years before he can be considered better than Ramirez? He has to prove himself to be the hitter Ramirez is. It might not take 5 years, but it certainly takes a lot longer than the service time he has so far.
-
it's not really tedious. he's one of our best relievers and he racked up a lot of pitches. plus, you can't just shrug off the crappy relievers being used. even though they suck, they might suck a little more if they aren't fresh. we may have needed to count on one of those guys to pitch a scoreless inning and maybe they aren't as fresh. every extra inning ANY of your relievers have to throw in the late parts of the season are relevant. this is when guys start wearing down and need all the rest they can get.
-
i didn't make an argument. i was just pointing out how you conveniently left the most relevant reliever of the night out of your argument.

Disney on Ice Well that's ridiculous. We've had that ever since I can remember. I know about the circus trip but I don't remember this
-
He ruins my evening too often. Throw out all the other stats. Ruining my evening trumps all that. every closer is going to "ruin your evening" multiple times in a season.
-
wait... is it really samardzija vs cliff lee? oh awesome actually, that's probably for the best. might as well make them waste lee on a game we're going to lose anyways
-
np, you've earned it
-
you're so clever and awesome. i wish one day i could develop a defense mechanism as clever and original as the one you came up with. it's really very witty and clever
-
He/she is saying we might have to root for the Cardinals to beat other wild card contenders so we can win the WC. Her post didn't make sense though, considering the Cards don't even play the Giants anymore this season. They do play Colorado in late September though, and we may be rooting for them in that series.

i dont understand where this delusion you have of me wanting hamilton to fail is coming from you're talking gibberish and basically making things up. i think it's pretty hilarious to hear you say things like this though, considering you repeatedly make fun of people after they die. now suddenly you're taking some kind of moral stand (and one that is completely baseless and unfounded, to boot)
-
yes
-
LOL seriously? They "burned" Samardzija... probably knowing that he'd be off until his start on Wednesday anyway. Two other guys had pretty standard one-inning appearances (Heilman, Grabow), and the entire backend got the night off (Guzman, Marmol, Gregg). i like how you leave out marshall
-
And to think we could have traded him straight up for Tejada. or maybe even a player who was worth prior at the time
-
I dont think that means what you want it to. no, you just don't understand the context. he thinks that i dislike hamilton because i didn't think he was an mvp candidate last season. thus, i despise every player that i don't think is an mvp candidate. i hate you so much, brian mccann. you're no mvp. you're just good.
-
why? i like josh hamilton. reading comprehension > you sorry, i dont revel in other's misfortunes a) but i do? no. now you're just making things up b) you don't, really? really? then what do you call constantly making fun of dead people?

what a complete joke
