Andy is so very right when he says thank GOD for BCB.  Can you imagine if all those fucking idiots were posting over here?

Kind of like when the ITI fucks came over here and posted loads of gay porn.

He clearly states that he's not gay.

Sometimes I wonder if I understand anything that  is going on.  Why on Earth would anyone bother to post that on You Tube?

Information wants to be free.  Must I repost the "Atlantis" video before I get a chance to more carefully edit it?

Who says?  I got a report sitting here on my desk that is supposed to be sitting on a desk 2 buildings away.  (Don't say e-mail it, too many large pretty pictures)  Anyway, there it sits, and it ain't going anywhere unless it gets 2 homemade cookies and a cup of Kona. 

That ain't free.

Is it a dossier?  I've always wanted to be handed a dossier.

Do you think Al keeps dossiers on all of us? I bet he does. Probably keeps them in the bottom drawer of his Officially Licensed Chicago Cubs filing cabinet. But not in his Officially Licensed Chicago Cubs filing folders. That would be ridiculous since we don't deserve those.

Sounds a bit like this, only less nerdy.

Actually, it's more like this, only with less guns.

How do you stop opponents from stealing your flag without guns?

QuoteWithout the benefit of public funding like most teams in our sport, we have also made sizable investments in Wrigley Field.

Boo fucking hoo.

As far as I'm concerned, fuck it.  Get the state and city funds.  Build a new ballpark. 

Turn Wrigley into a Cubs museum/tournament park and give it to the Chicago park district in exchange for new land.  All the new seats you gain are worth more than the land was, anyway.  They could even play the home series against the Sox there every year.  People would probably pay double for those tickets.  Build the new stadium right on the lakefront.  Make the park district give up a piece of that golf course just north of Lincoln park.  It's not like people won't have plenty of golf courses to go to when it's gone or reduced.  Sell the naming rights to the highest bidder for all I care.  Just make sure there's ample parking.  I'm sure it will be for the $20 it'll cost. 

Parking is overrated. I don't care what happens to Wrigley, but don't make me go to a mallpark surrounded by a sea of asphalt.

Hear, hear.

Why the hell would the freeze prices on a third of all tickets? Aren't they just bought up at face value and resold for great profit?

If you don't vote for McGwire based upon the steroids, I can certainly accept that. But to say he doesn't have the numbers is ridiculous. The guy hit 583 home runs and did it at a pace faster than anyone who's ever played the game at 10.6 AB/HR. He has the 12th highest OPS+ of all time. I don't know why his hitting .260 or whatever should keep him from the HOF. He got on base 39% of the time he came to the dish. In my book, Killebrew and McCovey deserve their spots and McGwire put up similar (in some cases, better) numbers than both. And to argue against him on defensive grounds is disingenuous. Aren't most first basemen playing first base because they can hit, but don't have the glove to play third?

And you're wrong, Andy. Mark McGwire had 28 doubles in 1987.

Also, I probably wouldn't vote for Dawson based upon his stats, but I'm a huge homer and Hawk gave me some good Bonertime back before I ever knew what a boner was.

Dexter's chair tossing, monitor smashing, lab destroying scene tonight? Fucking aces. I love this show.

Oh fuck - it is on. Miguel? The Skinner?

Cuz this is REAL.

I read some speculation online regarding the end of last night's episode but I kind of wish I hadn't since it makes so much sense.

Dexter was grabbed by Masuka/Quinn and they're taking him to his bachelor party.

Henderson, Raines, Blyleven, McGwire, and Dawson.

Patent pending!

I couldn't understand the thought process behind such a completely unnecessary device, so I tried to put myself in Alex Astilean's shoes. My brain hurts a whole lot now, but my calves got a killer burn.

Really?

QuotePITTSBURGH (AP)—The Pittsburgh Pirates hope Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel really do have million-dollar arms.

The two 20-year-old pitchers, neither of whom had picked up a baseball until earlier this year, signed free-agent contracts Monday with the Pirates. They are believed to be the first athletes from India to sign professional baseball contracts outside their country.

Did they actually get $1mil contracts, or is that just a shitty writer trying to engage in some lame wordplay?

Quote
Singh and Patel came to the United States six months ago after being the top finishers in an Indian reality TV show called the "Million Dollar Arm" that drew about 30,000 contestants. The show sought to find athletes who could throw strikes at 85 miles per hour or faster.

...

The 5-foot-11, 185-pound Patel hit 90 mph on the radar gun during his tryout, and the 6-2, 195-pound Singh topped out at 84 mph. Each has thrown harder during workout sessions that weren't attended by scouts.

I'd be pretty dubious about them being able to hack it, but if the Pirates are willing to take the risk, more power to them.

Dexter's chair tossing, monitor smashing, lab destroying scene tonight? Fucking aces. I love this show.
