65%, but who's counting. They still get no worse than a 2nd if he doesn't play at all. And if he doesn't play, there's a good chance that 2nd won't be too far off from the 1st if he did play.

Susyn Waldman may be a pioneer but she sucks too. Would take her in a heartbeat over the Ginger Zaidman. Roger Clemens is in the Box -
Zaidman sucks. I'd rather listen to that obnoxious lady the Yankees had a decade or so ago (maybe longer).

My first radio guy that I remember was Vince Lloyd. He was good but by todays standards he would be just so so. Radio and TVbroadcast are so “hi-tech” nowadays. But he was oft paired with the “good kid” Lou Boudreaux who would cause drying paint to fall asleep.

Week 1 - Packers @ Bears - Soldier Field - September 10th 3:25PM
PackLandVA replied to David's topic in Other Sports
Another reason so many people question and/or are puzzled by PFF grades. Love has the highest QBR so far in Week 1. I thought Love was good, made some plays, and didn’t really do anything to hurt the Packers. Certainly areas to improve to all in all a pretty good performance. As far as Fields, I’m as baffled as many of you why he/the coaches didn’t take many shots beyond 10 yards. Maybe not early or in the first half. But by late in the second half, let it go. Anyway, it’s Game 1/Preseason Game 4. No team or fan too should be too high or too low after 1 week. Niners crapped the bed last year in week 1 and won 14 of the next 16 games. -
I thought Wayne Larivee brought some excitement to games and was really solid broadcasting on the radio.
-
I don’t see anything special about Pat Hughes , radio or TV. He’s fine, but I don’t think there’s really anything extraordinary about him.

Sox up by a run in the bottom of the 9th. And here's how it unfolds: -error on a simple grounder by T. Anderson -soft hit floater single to left -fielder's choice, out at second -with runners on the corners, Witt lines a double to RF; TIE GAME -lineout to SS, runners still on second and third -IBB to load 'em up -BALK on first attempted pitch, GAME OVER They are horrible and I think they may have mostly given up. Good Luck Chris Getz.

And the 1st inning “HR allowed” fest continues, sans Steele starts.
-
I would prefer Canario’s first big league at bat NOT be during a critical point late in a game. Especially down the stretch run. That’s why I thought a good start would’ve been against a somewhat ordinary left-handed starting pitcher on Saturday. Get his feet wet.

Incidentally, they're 1-0-2 in the three 2-game series. Another net gain in wins over losses.
-
Win 3-game series, and splits in 2 and 4-game series is pretty realistic for most good teams. That an average of a 90-win pace in a season. And the Cubs started 0-2-2 in their first four 4-game sets. Finished 3-0-2 in their five 4 game sets for a respectable 3-2-4. That a net gain in wins over losses.
-
The Cubs didn't win a 4-game series in the first half (0-2-2), but they haven't lost a series in the second half (3-0-1). Would like to see that trend continue. FWIW.
-
I'm sure it was, but I found it funny. He's great in the booth and makes "not great" games fun to listen to at times.
-
"Cabbage Leaf" Two words never uttered together in a baseball game until just now. Thanks JD!!
-
With a lefty on the mound, does Canario see some action today? If he does, would like to see him in the field instead of DH'ing.
-
Smylie gonna see several innings in one of the games. For good or bad.

Justin Fields’ make or break camp begins
PackLandVA replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Tua, but he started only 9 games. Purdy did well. Lamar Jackson was 6-1 in starts. Carolina might be most like Baltimore in that the Panthers will rely on D. -
So are the waived players who weren’t claimed now fee agents? Can they sign with a team for the min.
-
Just keep winning (and splitting) series.
-
They have a chance to bury those teams . But I’d be happy with a 4game series split (that’s actually a win as no ground is made up by Cincy) and a series win. Just don’t lose series (consecutively) or go on a significant losing streak.
-
Clevinger put on waivers.
-
White Sox putting Mike Clevinger on waivers. He'd be a good pick up for the rotation with the for the final 5 weeks. He's pitched pretty well this season.
