  1. Now that I have a kid I prefer to just sit at home when I have a free minute. Ha.
  2. Not to get too off topic, but it's crazy how much has come out about these schools and how many phone calls and recorded conversations there are, and yet, many of these coaches still have jobs!
  3. Cubs lost in extras today. In the 10th inning and a 3 2 count the Cubs pitcher throws a pitch that was so far in the strike zone, but was called a ball...its embarrassing how bad umpires are.
  4. Let me put it another way: Next year we should have 6-7 better rotation options than Chacín. Possibly, but last year Davies was garbage, and this year hes been really good. Almost like it's still relatively early. I agree he hasnt looked as sharp this year, but it looks like he hasnt gotten a good feel for the slider yet. Could be that hes getting older, who knows?
  5. Weird thing to say, considering he may have been our most consistent starter last year. Also, giving up a slow roller after forgetting about the runner is just crummy luck.
  6. Amen to that. Even petite, skinny wives are tough to hoist up as a shield that quickly. Haha. +1
  7. Gotta try something to get him going. He had a few games where he hit into some tough luck, but overall I think he's been pretty brutal(just the eye test). Swinging at a lot of balls out of the zone too.
  8. I always liked Turnbow coming out to Metallica's Fuel.
  9. I dont think it went over it, but I could be wrong.
  10. I do believe it is extended for them, but I could see it going even further down the line. In Japan it extends around the whole line, I believe.
  11. The problem is even if you are paying attention, a lot of people don't have the reaction time to get out of the way. Real Sports did a segment on this where they put people behind protective glass, told them a ball was coming and they still couldn't get out of the way. The only thing that stopped them from getting smashed in the face was that protective glass. A lot of people don't realize how quickly the ball gets on you. You're generally pretty far away from the batter's box and you think you have time to react and the ball doesn't really seem like it's coming that fast when it first leaves the bat. Then it starts to get closer and you realize how fast it's coming and how little time you have to react. Now, unlike that Real Sports segment where people know a ball is going to be coming at them at 90+ mph, you have people at an actual game that have no idea that a ball is going to be coming at them, they might be distracted by someone else getting out of their seat, they might be a child that can't see around an adult, there might be sun creating glare. There's just no reason not to have nets around the field at this point. I agree with all of this. I was just making the comment, that, currently it doesnt make sense to me to bring a young child that close while there is no netting. I have sat behind the netting and you cant even tell it's there after about 3 pitches.
  12. If you arent behind the netting, you should be paying attention. As far as bringing a kid that close without netting, how many people are going to actually be able to protect that child? I've knocked a few line drives down with my wife when we were in the 2nd row down the left field line. It's not easy. That's why I brought it up. I agree with you though. Move the nets down further. It's not even a real hindrance. Edit: also, I wasnt arguing against bringing kids down. I was asking why one would. Many are unprepared to deal with a young child and stay focused when in a dangerous spot.
  13. Couple of notes from the Cubs and Astroa game. Almora hit a foul ball and it hit a 4 year old. The ballpark is filled with distractions. Is it time to put netting up even further down the line? Also, why bring a child that close? The Astors have 106 games left this year and only.26 are against teams that are currently over 500. Wow.
  14. Im guessing because its Yelich. I go to most Sunday games and use the secondary market and I never have seen it like this.
  15. Not sure if I will be able to get to the game. It is already sold out and secondary market prices are wild right now.
