Hey! Didn't know that Steve Swisher was still playing...
...according to Hawk, that is. (He also gave us an extra run). Fug u Cubbies!

I thought that too at first...
but when he said “Make it 9!” he was referring to the number of Grand Slams there have been in the Crosstown Classic

Oh man
I didn’t even know it was on WGN, i’ve been listening to the Cubs announcers on comcast the whole time

That’s like listening to Farmer if he was talking about something he didn’t care about. Could not be less boring.

yah, it was weird
As homeristic and forehead slappingly weird Hawk can be, he does at least inject some life into the telecast…the Cubs’ announcers were painfully blah

I like Farmer’s humor but not sure many others do, either way I know he’s monotone, but those Cubs announcers are just as dry as anything I’ve ever heard.
by Grinder in Training on Jun 27, 2008 4:26 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Actually...
their tv announcers are really, really good. They put our tv guys to absolute shame. You were not listening with an open mind, obviously.

Hitting the sticks is like getting outs
The batter isn’t supposed to allow the ball to hit the wickets(wooden sticks).

Is it epic if it’s something that (I’m guessing here) happens a lot?

Yeah cricket at bats last until the batsman loses his wicket
by Ozzie Montana on Jun 27, 2008 4:39 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
or gets caught or gets his lead foot struck while in front of the wickets
or I could be underestimating your knowledge, because technically any out can be referred to as a wicket
-Jeeves Life in the Cell
by jeeves on Jun 27, 2008 4:41 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
it happens fairly often
but I think the epic fail comes in, because the wickets were blasted out of the ground…typically when pace bowlers (the guys that throw fast, not the spinners) hit the wickets, they’ll get horribly angled or one will pop out, but those are really out of the ground there

random question
on that pitch when randy johnson hit the bird, what was the ruling on the paly? ball? do over?
-Jeeves Life in the Cell
by jeeves on Jun 27, 2008 4:47 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
According to Google
The umps called it a “no pitch.”
The rulebook says if a thrown or hit ball hits a bird it’s a “live” ball, but there was nothing about a pitch hitting a bird, so they made a judgement call.

See Quentin is smart, he went to Stanford
he has Juan Uribe stand at the end of the dugout, the side closer towards 3rd base, and then he aims it down the first base line, but with Juan’s gravitational pull, the ball is pulled twoards him resulting in singles up the middle…that education really paid off

I wasn't suggesting to keep the current 4/5th OF CF combo.
But even if you do, the defensive upgrade at 1st and center helps with the downgrade in offense, and if the team isn’t sucking they have enough offense to spare.
by Trooper on Jun 27, 2008 5:57 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
you wildly overestimate the defensive upgrade versus the offensive downgrade.
and i wasn’t replying to you.

if you aren't wildly overestimating then i have no idea why you would endorse such an idea since it makes roughly -323 sense to do that.
unless you enjoy less wins or something once that “offense to spare” disappears.

so you're saying dropping thome in favor of upgraded defense and speed and worse offense (which wouldnt be used in the middle of the order)

Thome
just doesn’t seem very clutch. If we keep him in the order, maybe move him down. A good friend of mine tells me that Thome made a career of hitting HRs when the game was not on the line in CLE.
