  1. I was feeling dumb for considering them a half-decent sleeper team before the season but now I realize I was right all along, as usual.
  2. I reiterate that if the Cubs don't finish at least 5 games ahead of the Brewers, I don't even want the division title. And 5 is pretty embarrassing even then.
  3. It’s 75 here, a couple of blocks from Petco and I’ve had 2 locals apologize for the heat. You must live in inland OC (don’t call it that). The folks who live by the immediate coast in California live a different, cooler life. I was gonna get snooty about how SD is just a poor man's LA, so I deserve this.
  4. No, you should not drive 600 miles to attend a July day game between the Cubs and the Padres in 90-degree heat.
  5. It started when he was in like AA and he was talking about how great his team's lineup was, and he knew himself and two other top-100 prospects. He went down the list saying "some guy" for everyone else. Edit: Found it. http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=63058#p3094506 This was the thread where we were excited that Arismendy Alcantara was going to get a couple of days up for Darwin Barney's paternity leave but we were worried Renteria wouldn't play him. And IMB was right, that kind of stuff seems *hilarious* and not annoying in retrospect.
  6. It should always have been used to discuss the Brewers. Y'all spook too easy. Says the guy who started the thread and specifically didn't include the Brewers in the title They were in the original title.

  8. The aces only being 96% to win reminds me that a lot of poker odds are not intuitive. How so? The middle pair of Kings could have put together a flush that would have won the hand. The odds of putting together a flush using four board cards, or getting 9-K straight with only the K in hand, is apparently 4%. That's higher than it feels like it should be.

  10. No. But lots of trade targets.
  11. There will never be another slumping or broken player who doesn't get a "actually his peripherals" are fine posts. There's enough peripherals now that there's always some that are fine.
  12. There's two different ways of counting LOB. Most people just do it at the end of the inning. Sometimes some weirdos count it by PA, so that if there's runners on 1st and 2nd and no out, and three straight guys strike out, it counts as 6 LOB.
  13. Related: McGwire's 62nd home run in 1998 should have been called out for illegal help from the first base coach.
  14. If you aren't ahead of the Brewers at any point in the season, you suck are a disappointment and are underachieving.
  15. The best part of that swim slide is that the catcher knew it was coming and tried to tag the back arm.
  16. Weird pet peeve of mine. Like 25% of "robbed home runs" were actually going out.
  17. http://www.etawful.com/images/goldengod.jpg We will never lose again.
  18. My feed went out after England tied it 3-3, came back to see they had won. Still cool for them.
  19. This announcer is doing everything he can to jinx England, going on about how much they've prepared for this.
  20. Most people aren't great people and professional athletes come from a pool selected for aggression and self-focus. Most of them are jerks. It's not a big deal.
  21. People who know basketball better than I do: Are the Lakers with LeBron an actual threat in the West? It doesn't seem like it to me.
  22. And the Cards are 5 back, about to head out west for the next week. We're really close to being able to write them off for the division. I'm about 3 months ahead of you.
  23. We need approximately 15 new pitchers.
