QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 06:09 PM) I think Danks wearing down also had to do with the scouting reports getting out on him, and he couldn't fool anybody with his 3 pitches anymore. Now he has 4 and there's a big, big difference in the type of pitcher he is. Was his ERA under 3 at the beginning of July last year? I don't recall him even being close. I think he was about 4.5 at this point. I was happy. Dude was 21.

I don't mean to get into the 'sTaTs R teh StUpId!" argument, but I think the example of swish's problem at leadoff is an example of creating an offense off pure numbers isn't always the best way. Swish's OBP looked ideal to leadoff, I was a proponent of it, but it seemed to mess with his head after his initial success.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 03:50 PM) But, yet NBC allows him to host debates and campaign coverage as though he were Brokaw. cry me a river, look at whose been hosting the debates and tell me how many were just news anchors. Generally they take those who interview people, not toss it to their fellows.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 02:40 AM) Olbermann makes me laugh if nothing else. My wife watches him but I don't watch him when I want to see real news. well obviously, his show is editorial

I just remember that from the Simpsons. I agree with most, but I'd give Toby Hall an A.

I'd want an IF back that can play 3b well. I wish we had robbie mack back.

that's just mccain showing off he knows what photoshop is.

scenario speaks truth... I also liked how stu scott leading up to the sox cubs game with "when interleague play started everyone was paying attention to the subway series between the yanks and mets, and we all forgot about the El series in Chicago" Watching this game, the energy in the crowds for these games is incredible. There really are no other games I see like this during the regular season. If it ever happens, I can't imagine how insane a sox-cubs WS would be. Mercy!

honestly though the people on that forum must have no idea what irony is.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 03:06 AM) I'm from Englewood, but I bet I make twice as much money as half of them FWIW. I laugh whenever a Cubs fan pulls that one out on me. I'm going to dig ditches. I also do meth. So I can't complain about their generalizations.

man, this home field phenomenon this year is crazy.

Jenks is hilarious. Dude gets men in scoring position with 0 outs all the time and they never cross the plate... BRIAN ANDERSON THOME QUENTIN but most importantly BUEHRLE!!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 02:36 AM) When did Daryl Ward start getting described as a big power guy? Is hitting singles having power in the NL?

QUOTE (The Beast @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 02:34 AM) Come on man, we're not Cub fans. Turn that TV back on. I don't have proof but I have an incredible corrolation.

YES!!! SWISHER!!1

oookay TV off.

ARGHHHHH

man the cubs have some patient hitters.

Jenks likes to pitch with men on base?

DARN, i thought he had one.

baha, did you see the fan jump up and say "woo hoo" for alexei's foul ball?

I love how Mike's hard lemonade tries to act like they aren't a chick drink.
