  1. Earlier today the Cubs owner said they have no more money to spend on players. Everyone laughed.
  2. I think there's some confirmation bias at work here. Just playing the number of minutes he plays in games would get him in decent shape not to mention practice time.
  3. Yost's issue was that he assigned innings to pitchers rather than situations. He would never bring the 8th inning guy in with two outs and two on in the 7th because...well because it was the wrong inning of course.
  4. Yeah his BABIP was pretty low but he still K'd a lot of guys. His era might go up to 3 or something but he's darn good...and only 25.
  5. The sheer stupidity (& selfishness) of the parents literally boggled my mind numerous times & just when you think they couldn't possibly be any dumber they go & do something even more idiotic. And totally do not redeem themselves (had Dumb and Dumber on my mind from earlier in the thread)
  6. Abducted in Plain Sight on Netflix is insane.
  7. Did you post this in 2005 and it just showed up now?
  8. I totally forgot he was drafted as a catcher.
  9. Nice to see Ashby get some attention. I'm excited to see what he can do over a full season.
  10. Durant is a wild card. He's taken so much guff for signing on with an already awesome team that I can't imagine he'd do it again. But then again who knows?
  11. I think Bud has a ton to do with it but Horst also magically eliminated the Delly and Henson contracts and acquired Hill to boot. Acquiring Lopez was a stroke of genius too. But other than him the team was more or less the same personnel as last year. Bud is just a really good coach.
  12. Nate Silver said the Bucks odds of winning it all doubled after getting Mirotic.
  13. Mirotic is a perfect fit for this offense. He just has to be serviceable on defense to be well worth it.
  14. I mean if a guy leaves without his demands met and then gets his demands met a few days later and he doesn't take the job that doesn't scream to me that he was ever serious about taking said job.
  15. If you can't post without cussing you will get banned. We don't care who you are.
  16. My fiancee just discovered Cheers on Hulu. That show still holds up after all this time.
  17. The guys in the minors should absolutely be paid more. Unfortunately, they lack the bargaining power of the union because they aren't members until they make it to the bigs. There are rumblings that the minor leaguers will organize with a different union (US Steelworkers of all things) to get some bargaining power. Interesting article with some more details on that: https://www.latimes.com/sports/mlb/la-sp-mlb-column-20180915-story.html
  18. Oh they could totally lose a game or two because of a hot three point shooting team. The nice thing is they are elite at protecting the rim and they don't foul hardly at all so if a team IS going to beat them it's going to have to be by the three ball. I'll take those odds.
  19. Wilson is averaging almost 18 minutes a game and is arguably the 7th man.
  20. The Bucks keys to defense are 1) don't foul (lead league in fewest fouls per 100 possessions) and 2) protect the paint (Bucks opponents have the worst 2pt FG% in the league).
  21. The Bucks have the best defensive rating in the NBA. They are arguably the best defensive team in the league.
  22. I don’t think this is true at all. Depaul and St. John’s are the best they’ve been in years. Xavier is down quite a bit, but still a threat. Villanova has regrouped after losing all of the stars. Seton Hall, Butler, creighton, and Providence are always capable of winning on any given night. There is no bad team this year… No Penn State, Illinois, or Rutgers for comparison. The league is down a bit, due to attrition. However the reason the league doesn’t look impressive is there are no bottom feeders everyone is beating. So we should have four or five ranked teams next year as the teams gain maturity. Marquette is likely only losing Chartouny and Heldt. KenPom has Big East ranked 5th in the nation.
  23. I went to work today and apparently it was -21 when I left the house. There was barely any wind so I really didn't think it was all that bad. Granted I am only outside for about 7, 8 minutes of my commute (walk, train, bus). And by the looks of it (knocks on wood) we are literally going to have two weeks of real winter. Obviously, we can still get dumped on with snow but I think the below zero stuff is done. I'm fine with that...I like snow actually.
