  1. This is why replaying interviews is stupid. I like the interviews, but make them live.
  2. Way to take one for the team, Cliff!
  3. Theriot's foot was about an inch above the bag when Delgado caught the ball, get over it and move on.
  4. The throw clearly beat him. What was Jacque supposed to do, assume that the ump blew the call? Come on.
  5. Wright was on the bag when he caught the ball, chill out.
  6. Who the hell is Beano Cook?
  7. That site is always great for a good laugh.
  8. I'd love to see a return of Steve Stone to the broadcast booth, him and Len would make a great great team. But no part of me wants to see in the front office in any role.
  9. I bet if you took a poll of major leaguers, the vast majority of them would have preferred to have Sosa on their team rather than Olerud that year.
  10. ... with 15 walks. So he's been on base 21 out of his last 48 plate appearances. Sure does look a lot nicer when you include that, doesn't it?
  11. That's well over 5M page loads last month. I can work to optimize the site graphics a bit and that will help, but it's mainly just traffic. I'm sure a significant number of those are from people constantly refreshing the game threads. Not sure if there's a way to get around that, or cut it back, just throwing it out there.
  12. Great idea. I'll be the resident Rams fan.
  13. ...but, how do the Cubs handle playoff tickets? Or, a better question would be how did they handle it in 2003. Was it a virtual waiting room type of thing where everyone had a chance, or do they do it like the Cardinals did last year where you have to register and then hopefully be selected to have the chance to enter the virtual waiting room? And please tell me that you don't have to be a resident of Illinois to buy them, like the policy the Bears put in place. I know it's too early to be thinking like this, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who's saving some vacation time for October.
  14. Good for Jacque. I like the guy as a person, I hope he has a nice rest of the season.
  15. It's August and the Cubs are in first place. This is awesome!
  16. and if Milwaukee was winning we wouldn't have to take this game? No, we wouldn't have to. Nor do we have to tonight. I was just saying that it'd be nice to be in first place at the end of the day.
  17. I just saw that Milwaukee is down three late in the game... we really need to take this game!
  18. abuck arguing with someone over something trivial? What a surprise!
  19. I haven't really been paying much attention, largely because I don't want to get my hopes up and then be crushed when he suffers another setback, but is that velocity pretty consistent with where he's been the past couple weeks?
  20. The OPS thing is getting absurdly out of control on this board. Yes, it'd be great if every starter put up a 900 OPS or better. I'd love to have every Cub get on base 40% of the time and SLG 500. But that's incredibly unrealistic. The bottom line is that Ryan Theriot doesn't need to hit for power to be a good player. When his OBP is 11th out of 28 qualifiers, that's good enough for me at the SS position. Any pop from him is a bonus. If he were our cleanup hitter, I'd be bitching about his lack of power too. But he hits second. It's hit job to get on base, and get runners over. And he's good at each of those. People seriously need to stop citing his OPS and calling him below average. The guy hits .280 and has a 350 OBP. That's solid production for your number two hitter. And if you want to be honest when looking at his production, factor his SB's into his SLG%. I'd be willing to bet that when doing so (which is completely legit), he's right around the middle of the pack in terms of SLG from the SS position.
