I don't hate the guy. He is a bit of a primmadonna. I think a lot of Bears fans do hate the fact that he killed them alot of times though.

Too much talent on the team not to do anything. And chances are, they probably will not. I think by the time the team starts taking it serious, it will be too late to hit the switch and we'll end up a game out because of our own stupidity.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 12:25 AM) That was a very fun game to be at. Linebrink sucked so much energy out of that place though, and my friend who hates linebrink called the Jacobs homerun. A.J.'s homerun was fantastic. I sat right behind the foul pole in the 500's, fun stuff. Definitely a fun game. I was also at it. I called the 3 run jack as soon as I saw Linebring come in. My girlfriend said, "Wow, you follow this team way too much". Very very fun game.

QUOTE (rockren @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:42 PM) Pods fly ball in Left in the 8th should have been caught. The ball hit at the lower base of the wall...he makes Manny look good in Left. He wouldn't have caught that unless he was lucky. He's not tall enough to make that leap.

Should've just kept Danks in considering he only had 90 pitches to start the 8th. Fkn trash. Bobby doesn't have it I say.

Bailey is too good. I don't like Bobby coming in.

Danks doesn't look too happy.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:18 PM) ...and Pods messes up an easy out. Sheesh!!! That was far from easy. A guy like Rios, Wise, or BA would have that. The thing is, Pods had to time the jump right in order to have a shot at it. He didn't, and the ball was pretty damn high. With that said, he missed it.

And we'll start all over. Damn.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:13 PM) Bobby should never be brought in unless to start the inning. This I am sure of. He doesn't do well starting with runners on. That's the truth. Hell, he's something like 6-10 in one run games.

Hopefully Dotel blows them away.

Screw Jenks. Just throw Thornton in. Then again, I wish we had alot more blowouts so we didn't have to waste Thornton.

His pitches are all over. Finally gets a strike in, but it isn't looking promising.

Good job by Rios. I for sure thought that would fall.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 04:51 PM) Batting average on balls in play. The basic idea is...if you hit the ball in the field of play, you should produce a roughly average number of hits. Thus, an average BABIP is about .300. If a player has a BABIP far below .300, that's often a statistical abberation, and they're due for a hot streak. If a hitter is well over .300, then they're due for a cold streak. There are, however, some players who are constantly well above .300, they typically are guys with excellent bat control who know how to deal with a pitcher. Think Derek Jeter, Rod Carew, etc. An example from our org; Jordan Danks had a BABIP over .400 for the first 2 months of the season. He was striking out a ton, but he kept getting hits on balls he put in play. It was pretty obvious that he was eventually going to hit a slump though, because that BABIP is almost always unsustainable; eventually you start hitting the ball at people. Now, he's in a big slump. Alex Rios, for another, typically in his career has had a BABIP of just over .300. His BABIP this year is something like .270. This suggests that he's been particularly unlucky so far this year, and that has kept his numbers down from where they ought to be. Balta, thanks for the breakdown. I luvvvvvvvvvve it when you analyze.

So since the game is not on TV, I'm bored, why don't we create nicknames from when those rare(frequent to me and flash) moments occur for all of our players on the 25 man roster. Basically, just come up with a nickname, if it sounds good and other people agree, we'll go with that. Sort of like Judy Garland. I'll start it off "Gas Can" Gavin "Firestarter" Freddy Mark "Buehr-s***"

Hopefully he juices up!

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 11:09 PM) Lmao at Orton. 3 int hahahahaah And people still like him a ton. He's showing the same problem he had late last year. He's staring down the receiver that he's going to pass it to.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 08:39 PM) Well, that is a personal decision you make, and I won't attempt to change your opinion. I guess I am only arguing my point of view because I feel strongly about it, but I don't think I am doing so in the hopes of making you see my point of view. To me, it comes down to intent, and in Michael Vick's case, there was a clear intent to accomplish the end result of his actions - killing dogs for entertainment and monetary gain. In the case of a drunk driver, for the very vast majority of them, they are intending to get to a destination. They are not intending to injure or kill anyone. Certainly it is not a wise decision to attempt to drive a dangerous vehicle in an impaired state in order to get to their destination, but in my opinion, they should be punished for that unwise decision, not for some end result of their actions. That being said, there is enormous social pressure on the legal system to punish those drunk drivers who are unlucky enough (or inebriated enough) to actually injure or kill someone, as opposed to those who are actually caught by the police operating a vehicle under the influence, and that is where you see a difference in the punishment handed out. This is a difficult topic and that is why you see the vast divide in peoples' opinions and strongly-worded responses. Personally, I find the venom spewed to be excessive and also that a large amount of hypocrisy exists with regards to drunk drivers considering the society we live in, but I know that is an unpopular and minority opinion. As for Michael Vick, to me, it is the intention and premeditation of pure and certain cruelty involved in his actions that outrages me, far more so than the actions of a drunk driver. Just my humble opinion, however. Well I'll agree to disagree then.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 08:14 PM) Great comparison. So according to you, all stupid decisions are equal? No, but I'm trying to reason with the people who believe stealing and killing a dog is much worse than driving drunk and high and speeding to only hit and kill a human pedestrian. It may not be murder, but it is killing.
