    He claimed a hand-timed 4.35. Those are always garbage.
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    The football scouting sites seem to think he runs a legit 4.45ish 40. If we have anyone in the system faster than that, then daaaang.
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    Vitters with another double. 2-for-3, 2 2bs, up to .286. This is more fun than following the MLB games.

    Worst Cub whose last name starts with Col. Go.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    He just doesn't have "it."
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    More rain, pls.

    Poor people don't want your sweat-stained, ratty sports stuff.
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    Copycat

    That's why the White Sox would have to pay us to trade. We can use the money on Pujols. Don't you want Pujols?

    A suburban park is the worst idea ever and people who bring up the idea should be banned from life. Fine. Just take the Cell as a trade-in.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    Sell it to the White Sox, build new suburban park with easily exploitable dimensional quirks, spend the difference on Pujols.

    Well then you just aren't remembering accurately. He did a lot of things wrong, like hiring Lynch and Hendry and allowing Baker to come here. But he did spend and allow spending, he just got weird about it at times. What major free agents did the Cubs acquire during his entire time with the Cubs? Was Alou the biggest one? MacPhail did allow spending but he wasn't willing to spend on any one player. It was a widely played story that one of the biggest reasons why the Cubs were suddenly landing free agents in the 2006-2007 offseason was because MacPhail was gone. It could be that all those reports are wrong (and I think they are probably slightly overplayed), but they are out there. I recall the Cubs "finishing" second in the bidding for a lot of major free agents. They were willing to spend big money, just not obscene money that it usually takes to land one of those guys.

But he did spend and allow spending, he just got weird about it at times. I remember he was willing to offer a rather ungodly deal to Mike Hampton and how annoyed the Tribune Cubs message boards were that Colorado overbid.

    Conceded.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's played out only because there's only so long you can win 90 games on a shoestring budget. I'd be very happy to let a guy with a history of exploiting baseball people's idiocy try and do it again with twice the payroll. It's played out because it worked and everyone aped it. Pretty much all the teams understand the value of OBP now. What's his next inefficiency going to be to exploit? I'm guessing he doesn't have one.

    Pass on Beane. One trick pony. That trick is played out.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    Is it possible to be negative hit? Can Halladay make Fukudome look so bad that he is retroactively unawarded hits he had previously earned?
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    Can we at least all agree that calling it "Fecal League" is absolutely, unredeemably awful?
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's called clutch. That same ground ball with Ramirez up would have been a routine out, but the clutchness of Barney forced the error. Ramirez wouldn't have been hustling. Hustling intimidates fielders, puts the pressure on them.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    Good things happen when Darwin Barney is in the game.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    Isn't the answer Roberto Clemente ? Yes. Although Colvin is rapidly catching up to him.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    Unrelated to this game, but from the Red Sox broadcast tonight. Their nightly trivia question was the only MLB player with exactly 3,000 hits. Prompted the following exchange: Analyst Jerry Remy: "Got to 3,000 and wrapped it up, huh?" PBP man Don Orsillo: "Sort of."
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's a tie game. Of course there's a chance they win it.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    Just pick him? It doesn't really mean anything unless they pay him overslot.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    And that's why you don't have to work blue to get laughs, N&G
