  1. Sandberg used to use a black bat ala Billy Buckner. I have a cracked game bat for #23 from spring training in 1984.
  2. Wonder where the White Sox offense will be when Flowers, Ramirez and Viciedo aren't still hitting .350. All three are waaaayyyy over where they should be.
  3. Hope he doesn't end up as skinny as AJ. 8-[
  4. The statistics are based on Facebook....not the most reliable stats.
  5. His HR trot looks like he's holding in a deuce.
  6. Hawk just partially blamed Segura for getting hit in the face by Braun because Braun was just "doing his pre-bat ritual. Segura should've been looking where he was going." Hawk was serious. I hope for the Brewers sake Gallardo doesn't decide to warm up in the dugout.
  7. They're both crap IMO At least they're not wearing those dreadful blue tops. I hate the two-tone look.
  8. Apparently is the Hyde Park neighborhood.
  9. Does it really matter if they're "throwing out" huge offers to FAs if they know they're ultimately gonna get outbid. They can offer a FA eleventy-billion dollars if they know the Yankees, Red Sox or Dodgers will offer eleventy-billion and one dollars.
  10. This might be the toughest matchup they face in the playoffs. If they close this series out, the road to the final is quite clear. Have they beaten Anaheim or Colorado this year yet?
  11. Olt seems to constantly be behind 0-2 or 1-2 in the count. I'd like to see him be more aggressive early in the count, but he seems to NOT make contact a lot.
  12. Hawk broke out the "TWTW" last night for the first time this season (to my knowledge) referring to Ben Zobrist. When is the rest of the league/announcers/analysts gonna catch on.
  13. What type of prospect is Bijan Rademacher? Seems like he might have a decent bat. Never seem to hear much about him.
  14. I can't understand how he was a finalist for the Ford Frick Award last year. He has to be one of the worst announcers around and I mute the sound if I happen to accidently flip on a Sox game. He's actually a blast to listen to when the Sox are losing/playing poorly. I guess I get some sick enjoyment from it. :twisted:
  15. Hawk Harrellson in mid season form less than a week into 2014. Just said that every call in the series against the Royals has gone in favor of the Royals. Every call! When will MLB look into the conspiracy the umps have against the Sox? Anyone think it would be worth starting a thread for Hawk's moronic comments throughout the season? Could be a fun thread.
  16. Probably for showing up the ump last night and getting tossed.
  17. So with Liriano going for the Bucs, do the Cubs feature the RH-hitting lineup to include Rizzo? Or does Ricky go with Valbuena as the veteran presence at 3rd Base (over Olt) on opening day? Who gets the nod in RF? I assume Schierholtz is the everyday starter, even against lefties.
  18. Group A: Paul Goldschmidt Group B: Prince Fielder, Jay Bruce Group C: "Don't Call Me" Mike Stanton, Mark Reynolds, Adrian Gonzalez Group D: Albert Pujols, Brandon Phillips, Ian Kinsler, Jason Heyward, Josh Reddick Wild Card: Sent
  19. Bill Buckner, and it's not even close. Patterned my wiffle ball swing after him! One of my "proudest" Cub moments as a youth was when he won the batting title in 1980. Got to sit next to him on the bench (in spring training) for a bit in 1984. Nearly cried when he was traded later in the season. Did cry in '86 when the Mets came from behind on THAT grounder. Big fan of #22!! Honorable Mention to Bobby Murcer, Rick Sutcliffe, Ryno and Dunston.
  20. Haven't looked forward to a Monday in a long time. Can't wait! =D>
  21. Cashner is gonna be pretty darn good.
