  1. actually that didn't even happen. the indians were next-to-last in the AL in attendance this year. http://www.cleveland.com/tribe/index.ssf/2013/09/attendance_down_but_tribe_tick.html
  2. i hate bad cutler : (
  3. i bet if you guys keep arguing with neely he eventually changes his mind
  4. There are 11-13 4 win 1B in baseball? What an age we live in. in fairness, they really need to adjust replacement level so it stops assuming that a replacement first baseman would be a ghost and the ball would just float through him when the shortstop threw it over
  5. He got the Brewers in a position to a succeed and the team floundered in the playoff stretch and got released. He literally just got the Royals a winning record a few days ago and people are already calling for his head. He's also likely leading them to the best record he's had as a manager. The Royals winning % each month this season: April: .583 May: .286 (results in hitting coach being fired) June: .593 July: .600 August: .516 September: .609 With the exception of May, which they pinned the results on the hitting coach and judging from their results afterwards appeared to be a contributing factor, the Royals have been pretty damn good. Their average winning % outside of may was .580. .579 since May. Had they sustained a % on average with the rest of their season in the month of May, they'd be the 6th best team in baseball. Let the man have another full year with this rejuvenated team to see what he can accomplish. If the team regresses next season, then can him. But if they want to fire him now because he apparently has mismanaged a bullpen that has a 2.57 ERA, okay, whatever. best wishes to the royals in the except-for-may playoffs
  6. the only piece ricketts is going to add this offseason is a glock so he can rob liquor stores every two weeks when payroll comes due.
  7. in fairness, penn state has now gone a school-record three consecutive years without covering up any child rapes. ncaa gotta recognize.
  8. which of the national league's zero 1.000 ops players this year is everyone's favorite?
  9. hey man, the way this stuff works, we should be thrilled with that. we have had bad stuff come from these sunday night games and just cutler's body language in general a number of times. if people want to correct this stuff for us for an equally arbitrary reason, i'm all for it.
  10. yeah, i don't know if it's just a "always go for it until it's my team on the line" thing or what, but i have been very cool with both of trestman's conservative decisions tonight (kicking this fg and not pushing the issue at the end of the first half).
  11. GREAT graphic from nbc letting us know that hester has 0 catches for 0 yards.
  12. major wright having a game.
  13. i know this tackle sucks, but it's very nice that peppers looks useful again
  14. i know i'm wrong, but it feels like we have a .001 winning percentage in night games since cutler got here. and that 90% of our horribly embarrassing losses have been in night games. i am so, so happy this game is going differently.
  15. That's the vomit-inducing quote I'd seen prior that made me burn things. Who would have thunk that the glorious happenings of the Cubs being sold and Hendry being fired (and replaced by Theo Epstein, no less) would have actually been the path to Baseball Hell. in fairness, given the debt deal he took, it's pretty questionable whether ricketts ever had good intentions
  16. That's the vomit-inducing quote I'd seen prior that made me burn things. yikes. at least we can delete the tanaka thread now (or move it to "Real Team Discussions").
  17. on the plus side he has the floating robot from wall-e following him around everywhere, so that probably helps him in some way.
  18. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/rankings/top-100-prospects/all-time/#2002 2. Prior 6. Cruz 40. Choi 45. Kelton 48. Hill 68. Jackson 80. Zambrano waive after waive
  19. this is really the one saving grace. all the other stuff sucks, but being able to do red zone for the noon games is great.
  20. What's going on? Lightning. Game delayed. I think there were 2 of these delays today. yeah, no-tb was delayed a little over an hour.
  21. aaron rodgers had sweet bangs in his post-game press conference
  22. LOVE IT. long was also the first guy to get to bennett after the td. i really hope kyle is a guy we have around and love for a long time.
