    Definitely enjoying certain features of premium today. Thanks again, Vance! Did you put me on ignore again ???? :twisted: There's an ignore feature? That sounds like a life saver! Makes the 5 bucks a month for premium entirely worthwhile.

    Duh, its the new Cubs way. New? It's pretty much the trademark of the organization.

    Pat says Theriot ran a stop sign... rock on!!

    lol like in game 6 of '03? All discussions about clutch are even more worthless when considering performance against the Cubs. Completely unfair.
  7. CubmanPi
    Okay DLee, both guys in front of you have gotten on both times. Freaking DO SOMETHING.
  8. CubmanPi
    They scored four runs the first inning. Any further offense is bonus, but not to be expected.
  9. CubmanPi
    That's about as deep as that discussion needs to be. No explanation necessary.

    Some d-bag decided to let the Cubs take the field today. That's about as concise as the problem gets.
  11. CubmanPi
    How many pitches did the Cubs see in the first?
  12. CubmanPi
    That conversation was the best thing to come from yesterday's game.

    Thanks. I'm at work and will only have this thread, so any similar updates people offer will be much appreciated, even though I know I'm better off ignoring this team. Thanks guys.

    Sorry but don't you mean stupid Cub fans? You saw the number of votes on that date and compared to the first day, that made it stand out to be looked at more closely. The rule was put into place to prevent just what happened on the second day of voting...someone winning by cheating. And I am not referring to Vance nor Elinore but another contestant that day. Vance, I think you should have won since you were the best one that day and it stinks that you didn't. Cheating?? Are you kidding me? As if those other contestants didn't tell all their friends to vote for them? This is meant to be a voting system! Campaigning is part of the process. Very true. Also, being that it's a Chicago team, vote early and vote often is also part of the process. I fail to see the issue.

    Unless he has developed a sentimental attachment to the Cubs, I'm pretty sure he's going to go where the price is right first, regardless of league.

    I'm so pissed that I already spent so much money getting good seats for some games next week. Cubs will be in fourth place by then.

    I'm pretty tonedeaf and normally don't make critiques like this, but the woman singing the national anthem was WAY off. The loud piercing voice didn't help anything either.

    I wouldn't mind a rainout. It'd be nice to see the Cubs gain ground on a Brewers loss for a change, plus as long as they don't do anything stupid like make up the game in a double-header tomorrow, I'll get to see Lilly in lieu of Marquis when I have the best seats ever for the opener in SF.

    [pure imagination] With the way the ball would have to glance indirectly off the bat in the event of a popup, I think that would create a little more spin that a batted ball already would normally have, so the likelyhood of a tough hop is almost certain, unless you're standing on abnormally tall infield grass. Furthermore, if an infielder lets it drop and doesn't have it in firm grasp and ready to throw within about a second and a half or so, that just about negates any advantage you would have had. Granted, the necessity of the infield fly rule means that doing this is indeed possible and has been done or tried on plenty of occasions, but I just can't imagine it would ever be practical, especially in the cases you mention which aren't protected by the IFR.

    All these changes happened after Vance's video showed up saying he stuffed the 2005 ASG ballot box. Coincidence I think not. :lol: There's about zero doubt in my mind that the Vance movement inspired these changes. The spike in voter turnout on Vance's day was so clear even early in the day that mid-day on the 7th (when these changes took place, if I'm not mistaken) would have been plenty early enough to realize the problem and make a panic change toward a zero-transparence process. There were enough of us stuffing Vance's box (giggety) of ballots and enough anti-nsbb types who were aware of the campaign that there was most likely a script running that day voting for someone else. In all honesty, I hope this sparks a movement to take ASG voting out of the hands of the fans.

    Baseball players are such wimps. WhyTH can't they play in the rain?! I scheduled my entire vacation and spent my meager hard-earned, and I came to Chicago hoping to make my son's day by going to this one game, and a little rain postpones the game and ruins my chance to see them this year. You'd think with the millions these idiots are getting paid, they could handle a little rain. Freagin pansies. Better??

    Yea, this is way more optimistic than I'm ready to be with this team. We've had our fun for the season, and now the Cobs and Brewers will continue their mediocrity to make this a 3-team race by the end of August. Cubs can definitely still take this thing, but there's no way they start running away with anything in the immediate future. I just hope the Brewers don't turn it up and take off in the standings, which is a much more likely scenario, IMO.
  23. CubmanPi
    Same here. With the best seats I'll ever have in my life. I'm actually really hoping for a rain out in the next 5 or 6 days, because I have the best seats of my life for the series opener in San Fran a week from tonight, and I don't want Marquis to be the one pitching for it. I believe a rainout would bump the rotation to Lilly starting that night instead.
  24. CubmanPi
    Because Cubs can't hit and Brewers can't pitch. Hammer meet nail head.

    I anxiously welcomed the Bears' interference with the 06 Cubs, but if the Cubs were in contention last year, I wouldn't have started paying attention to the Bears, even with the season and start they had, until the Cubs were done. Hopefully I don't notice the Bears this season until the end of October.
