  1. Generally speaking, it takes a REAL special performance by a pitcher to win an MVP. I don't think this year's crop qualifies, at least so far.
  2. link With Salome close-ish and Rivera not really all that bad of an option, it's weird to hear the Brewers name in Laird rumors.
  3. I agree, regarding the umpires... These things tend to even out. The Brewers did get screwed out of perhaps a win last night, but I'm sure there have been occasions where a pivotal call helped out the Brewers or hurt the Cubs.
  4. Honestly I think the major components of home field advantage are having the last at-bat, not having to travel, and being able to custom-build a team to your park. Of course having the crowd root you on provides a psychological benefit that I'm sure is comforting to players, there's more in play than just that. Personally, I stay the hell away from MP during Cubs games. While it seems that 75% of Cubs fans are simply rooting for their squad as we would at Wrigley, those 25% make it unbearable... and the loudmouth drunken Brewers fans who blurt obscenities back at them aren't helping the cause. Back to the original topic, making fun of kids in general at games should be off-limits. The fact that the kid had a autistic disorder of some sort only makes the situation that much more embarrassing. As someone with a neuropsychiatric condition, I really feel for that family.

  6. Shutting this thread down, because people can't play nice. Disappointed.

  8. Honestly, I think scouting reports are so good these days that knowledge of Cubs hitters strengths and weaknesses are well known. Maybe he would be able to help the hitters with how to hit Cubs pitching, but even then, I think it would be pretty negligible.
  9. Well, hopefully the Brewers sweep the series, and each member of the Cubs 25-man roster ends up like Mr Burns's softball team for the remainder of the season. But realistically, 3 out of 4 would be nice.
  10. I thought it was common knowledge that you weren't supposed to bet drugs at blackjack tables.
  11. I had no idea TuesdaysWithRillo was from Franklin.

  13. Locking this down. If you're going to start a new thread, please expound on the subject matter.

  15. CC-Mania in his first start. Not only the moment of the season, but perhaps a turning point for the franchise.

  17. I saw that on Digg this morning and gave it a try ... I think this is a case where different isn't better. The multi-column layout for search results just doesn't make sense to me.
  18. The BABIP on Hawkins doesn't indicate that hitters were getting all that lucky off him. He's right on his career norms ... However, he does have a 1.5 G/F ratio, so that's encouraging. However, honestly, I'd rather have Dillard over Mota.
  19. This is like making me choose between smallpox and anthrax. However, I'll take Yost over Lou. Yost gets minus points for bullpen handling, but Lou gets more minus points for lineup handling. Despite a couple of serious Yostings this year, I think the sheer # of Yostings has gone down. Earl Weaver is still alive, Doug.
  20. I bet if I left my wallet in El Segundo, I wouldn't be as angry as if I left it in another city.
  21. Seriously, who among us hasn't gotten a little trigger happy after a long morning of binge drinking and lawn maintenance? Don't throw stones.
  22. I give Ned a fair bit of credit for how he's using his bench talent. Your reserves need at least a LITTLE bit of playing time, otherwise they'll be rusty as hell down the stretch. Hopefully this translates into a strong push into the postseason while other teams wear themselves out.
  23. They "play the game the right way".
