    I'll settle for a real definition of what counts as a swing.

    Did someone already post this? http://www.fangraphs.com/lgraphs/280918116_Brewers_Cubs_116651786_lbig.png

    I had to go to football practice and missed it :(

    As someone who was convinced the Brewers were overrated all along and thought the Cubs might beat them by 10 games, there's a lot of threads I'd like to dig up. Were you the one posting the run differentials earlier in the season? Were you at least nervous when the Brewers tied up the Cubs in July? Yes. But not because I changed my mind about the relative difference in the teams, but because the better team isn't guaranteed to win over a three-month season.

    I actually don't think he's that great, he's just the most well known. I've seen him make plenty of really bad calls. There's a handful of others who are much better. He's one of the better graded each year because he tends to ref big games. I will say, though, that I don't remember the last Super Bowl he reffed, so he's not in that echelon I suppose. Patriots-Panthers, I think.

    I have little faith in this team to make the playoffs with one legit center, and even he is inexperienced. Center for the Hawks is like QB for the Bears, it seems, it's our achilles every season.

    Seriously it's sad, Cubs fans are brainwashed to like him =\ Or, you know, he's just a likable guy that everyone knows is as big a Cub fan as anyone. Exactly. I don't expect everyone to dislike him just because I do. I understand what he brings to the table, and if that's what people are looking for, that's cool.

    *shrug* Believe what you choose to believe. When WGN doesn't even *advertise* it as a Cubs game, but the "Pat and Ron show," I think it shows where their priorities are. And the reason I don't like Santo in the booth is *because* Hughes has let himself be dragged down by him. When they first started working together, Hughes was brilliant and carried Santo.

    That's BS. Yeah, he blew that call terribly. But is it his fault that the NFL has the absurdly terrible rule that incomplete passes aren't reviewable? He's one of the better refs in the league. He got one wrong. It happens. And I think I'm the last remaining Rams fan. I guess I know how the Lorax felt... (Good God, the Rams are terrible.) NFL refs are always graded down for bad calls. It's a little silly that this grade-down was reported as news.

    I've had it happen to me several times. I'll be somewhere where I can't access the game, and I turn it on right as inning begins. After the first batter was cut off by a commercial break, Santo starts off on some story and Hughes gets in some pointless, psuedo-funny jibe. They banter awkwardly, Santo rambles off into some laughing/coughing fit, Hughes steps in and points out, as an aside, the batter No. 2 grounded out a minute ago and No. 3 is now up with a 2-0 count. I've been listening for 3 minutes and not heard the score, nor a single pitch described.

    Then he can shut up and wait for a chance to yell "yes." His stupid rambling stories that Hughes indulges him in cause three at-bats to go by without comment. No, they don't. You never miss anything important on a Cubs radio broadcast. Hmm. Is there a national and local WGN radio that causes us to get different games?
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    Clinch it at Wrigley, that's all I ask. Brewers fans and Cardinals fans will be equally funny when we clinch in front of them.

    FYP

    "It was a joke and what?" Dead serious. There are two ways to *guarantee* any story will be among the most-clicked each day. Put the word "sex" in the headline (even if it's something like "Police release sex of unidentified corpse"). Or Put a reference to a crime in it, the more violent the word the better.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    There's a little known, never-invoked rule that states that if you get no-hit by a team, you lose the tiebreaker regardless, no play-in game.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    BOOOOO!!!!! Boo to you, consumer of news. Where you guys aren't imagining problems that aren't there with journalism, you are creating them with your horrible news taste.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    As a journalist, I'd like to formally request this thread's title be changed. It's bad enough we get lumped in with talking heads and TV commentators, now we're responsible for opinion blogs too?
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    Then it would clinch a tie for the division.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    Agreed. *sigh* Another season where we feel like we have a promising young team but we're short at center. I'm feeling less confident we make the playoffs now.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    Assuming we choose to play the Wednesday night game, nobody has to go on short rest to go 3-man.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    New ballpark - 26 New location, new configuration, many more seats. Give yourself a distinct advantage with the configuration of the park, something exploitable.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    The Astros should do whatever they can to try and get one base and win. If that's bunting for a hit, so be it.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    i didnt see the play, i ddint get the tv broadcast, so I just thought it was all on greg. what about the 2nd one? The second one is on him. He didn't really do anything wrong that I saw, Harris just punched it out.
