  1. The Marlins guy waving a stuffed animal the entire game is possibly the most annoying thing I've ever seen during a big time sports event. MLB needs to step in and do something about attention starved idiots waving props around behind home plate the entire game. How long until companies hire actual clowns to sit in the first row behind home plate with spinning signs and other absurd props.
  2. So the conservative plan is to keep going with this "But her Pocahontas" thing? I guess that means they don't have anything substantive to use against her. Though, I suppose it doesn't matter. The 'leaders' who are panicking at the possibility of losing a tiny fraction of their personal GDPs--should the government become a tiny bit less corrupt--will just tweet a few Pocahontas soundbytes, which will get retweeted/reposted by a few thousand useful idiots/automated accounts, and 70 million dum dums will suspend all rationale thought and vote for corporate control over a government that represents them a little less (and corporations a little more) every year. Watching people pick up these seeds and sow them into their own backyards 2 years in advance, is making me feel very brisket-ish.
  3. Regulators are often hired directly from the corps they 'regulate'...in every industry. Corruption on a massive scale is an accepted part of capitalism/democracy. ...but other forms of government have their own fatal flaws. Somebody from surlyhorns needs to invent a new system of government...
  4. Also, I wish I was having this much fun
  5. Much better image. Thanks for posting. Can you see the blue shirt guy's right hand/fist? Can you see all the hands/arms pushing up against that fist? People will see what they want to see, so I won't try to convince a fully vested fan that his glove can't pass through solid matter. And it doesn't even matter, since, in my view, (I don't give a shit about either team), the ball was beyond the vertical plane of the wall, so it should have been a HR.
  6. ignore the hyperlinking...i don't know how any of this works.
  7. I bet thepop's statement is how the replay people explained the call. They could definitively see the glove getting closed by arms/hands, but they didn't have an angle to prove it was beyond the wall. Personally, it looks like its in the first row to me... Mirrolure, can you see the guy with the orange shirt...his hand pushing/closing the glove...
  8. This is the rule that should have resolved it. The ball was definitely beyond the fence. Replay has been wrong about 50% of the time in the games I've watched this post season.
  9. You didn't see the arms banging against his glove, causing it to close? Or you don't want to see them, because you're an Astros fan? The argument you should be making, is that the ball was beyond the wall...because the way they are explaining it, it sounds like it's a home run if the ball is beyond the wall...which is definitely was.
  10. He was going to catch the ball without the fans arms/hands banging against his glove...but if it's beyond the fence, are the fans allowed to interfere? Because it looked beyond the wall...
  11. Kicking a guys ankle, after making an out isn't playing with an edge. You potentially injure a guy on the other team because you're frustrated. There isn't much to like about it...unless you just like to see people fight. It does add drama and give us something to talk about, I guess.
  12. Brewers have never won the national league pennant, according to wikipedia. Seems improbable they'll beat either of the AL superteams, but would be glad to see them knock off LA here and get their first national league title.
  13. You were saying....
  14. Googled 'Last world series win', and it gave me a world series they actually lost. Apparently, the brewers have never won a world series. I did not know that.
  15. He only faced what...two batters? Pretty low stress outing, if you ignore the fact it's the 8th inning of the NLDS
  16. Braun is 100% a dick. as he proved by all the lying and acting insulted when accused of taking steroids...which was ultimately proven true. I'm pulling for the Brewers, since it's been 35 years since they've won a WS, but every time i see Braun, I root a little less.
  17. Counsell is baffling Smoltz with the unconventional way he uses his bullpen. Every game he talks incredulously about the Brewers' starter/reliever situation.
  18. Smoltz seems bothered that the Brewers don't rely on ace starters.
  19. Just kick the field on goal on third down, Gundy. Got the OU game version of Gundy for the last 3 weeks. Such cowardly playcalling.
  20. He's about 1-20 on wide open guys streaking toward the endzone. And the one time he actually threw it on target, the WR dropped it.
  21. The season is 'devalued' before it starts for 60%70% of the league. They are already disqualified and playing for exhibition/pride/fun on the first day. Lose a game in the first few weeks and 90% of the teams in college football are now 'playing exhibition games' because they are eliminated from the playoffs. (SEC/traditional power schools are allowed a loss...but everyone else is eliminated. That's fair right?) Expanded playoff would give ALL teams a chance to win a championship, thereby ADDING value to the regular season for a majority of college football schools. And taking an early loss wouldn't automatically disqualify non-traditional power school (Like most teams in the big 12/ACC/pac12). So that keeps a season alive and adds more value. Expanded playoff ADDS value to the regular season games.
  22. The only people fighting against Conference champ qualification is the SECESPN political machine. Eye-ball tests and subjective criteria give ESPN's talkshows immense power. If you make the qualification objective, (conference champs)---like in every other sports on earth--then ESPN loses it's talking head-political power. (And maybe the SEC doesn't bother to partner up) On one hand, an 8 team playoff would make ESPN more money from ad revenue, BUT it would cost them power to control the narrative. And if they don't get to control the narrative of who's in, who's out, then the SEC doesn't go into business with ESPN. Which, I can only assume by the reality of where we are now, results in a net loss for ESPN. In conclusion, playoff ad revenue < SEC business revenue.= college football fans get 4 teams picked by eye test. (2 SEC teams most years)
  23. It's fucking unAmerican is what it is. You do not have a legitimate playoff system, if 60%-70% of the teams in your league are disqualified before the season starts. "Sorry, you aren't a 'traditional school' with a big alumni base, (and we aren't in a business partnership with your conference) so...you are banned from the 'playoffs' forever."
  24. Why do you know this? Also, is posting on political message boards part of your job?
