NL Central: Reds, Pirates and others
Hairyducked Idiot replied to Hairyducked Idiot's topic in General Baseball Talk
Fretting about the Brewers score is really missing the point of this thread. If the Cubs don't finish five games ahead of them, I don't even want the division title. -
Making the Cubs have to win in order for us to get good game thread GIF themes is a good way to make me actually care about early regular season baseball results again.

yeah, that was a weird question. florida too, obviously. just look at how easily cubs fans can get into road playoff games usually too. atlanta couldn't sell out damn playoff games. You guys are flat out nuts if you don't think all of those markets don't have terrible, obsessive sports media out the wazoo. Atlanta's got three miserable sports radio stations just like the Vaunted Chicago Sports Market. Florida has three dozen(!!!!) sports stations. California has twenty seven. Illinois? Only a whopping fifteen, less than the twenty that can be found here in Virginia. Hello from Orange County, California. We've got 3 million people. We've got two sports radio stations, but they rarely run local content. It's almost always national syndicated stuff until it's time for an Angels or Ducks, and then they get a pre-game show of one or two hours. It's all generic PR stuff. The teams sell enough tickets and do enough TV ratings to keep the lights on, but it's not something the whole area gets caught up in. If there's some frothing racist Kaplan equivalent waiting for Otani to fall apart, I haven't run across them.

I agree with the general point that many Chicago reporters are monsters but Darvish has a 4.95 ERA.

Albert Almora: Somehow a slow Grady Sizemore?
Hairyducked Idiot replied to imb's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'm assuming he's going to be one of those turds who has an unsustainable stat line for awhile, but if I join the "he's gonna suck" bandwagon, he'll start developing real skills at the exact same rate the fake skills regress to the mean and he continues to be a valuable player regardless. -
I was looking for something on the Wikipedia page for postseason records today and how awesome was it to see the Cubs on there for a good thing? They've got the current longest active streak of seasons with at least one playoff series won.

Who needs a reason to boo the other team's good players?
-
For the worst possible reason, too. I bought into the scrappy white guy mystique of Stockton. Is it mystique if the scrappy white guy in question is actually an elite player? I think so. Jeter put up four 6-win seasons and the mystique around him is still annoying.
-
I just really, really wanted the Jazz to win one of them. that's horsefeathering disgusting For the worst possible reason, too. I bought into the scrappy white guy mystique of Stockton.
-
I believe there were some people who were sick of the Bulls every year back in the day. I just really, really wanted the Jazz to win one of them.
-
Wasn't a cross check. It was just a really good two-handed shove. If your stick is already in contact with them, *then* you extend your arms, it's not a penalty, even if you do it pretty violently and send the guy flying.
-
That picture looks like a totally normal slide posture and not an attempt to knee the guy in the back of the leg. (In case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic)
-
The problem is how high his leg gets, IMO.
-
Rizzo's dirty slide is the funnest thing to happen this season. I hope they go full heel and start doing it more often.
-
Are you sure it's not the Cubs who are blach?
-
They've still got the best set of position players in the game and all the money they want. I'm not any more worried than always, mostly because I always assume these things are about to happen. Pitchers are stupid.
-
If we need the Brewers to collapse, we don't deserve the division.
-
We've been due for one of these. Haven't had a big one since Garza, right?

"Time makes fools of us all" - The Kyle Schwarber Thread
Hairyducked Idiot replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Somehow someone else is going to write about him and not curse him. Everyone pretend I could find a "This is going to get blamed on me" gif from Arrested Development when the flamer is standing in the banana stand. -
I like Gold Gloves and I cannot lie: the Jason Heyward thread

Look within Yu, the real answer is there. -
I wouldn't want to trade Baez for Machado even if it literally guaranteed winning the World Series this year.
-
Close pitches that maybe could have been called strikes but were balls are still balls, even if it would have been nice to get a call.
