Bill Madlock sounds right. Not sure about the second one so I'll punt and say Mark Grace.

I agree, it's most likely Madlock - the time is roughly correct and no way did he come from their minor league system (especially during the 70's).

Definitely Madlock. Is the second one Banks? He didn't take a ton of walks each year but he did play a long time.

And as far as the Madlock answer goes- I hate to be old enough to know the answer for sure but I still remember driving around in my friend's car when we heard the news.

Sosa?

trivia carpet bombing, I like your style. One of those is correct, the other is #3 on the list

I'm gonna go with Hack, mainly b/c 'hack' is the antithesis of taking a pitch!

The Rockies' World Series Ticket sale today suffered a total and complete meltdown. Heads should roll in the IT Dept. Whatamess! Five hundred tickets sold. That's all. Even mannytrillo could have sold more.

cwtp: The Rockies’ World Series Ticket sale today suffered a total and complete meltdown. Heads should roll in the IT Dept. Whatamess! Five hundred tickets sold. That’s all. Even mannytrillo could have sold more. Let's just say the server was not "sized" for this volume of ticket sales... lol.

"This morning, after more than 8.5 million hits on the Colorado Rockies website, Paciolan (Pack-ee-o-lan), Major League Baseball's ticket vendor, experienced a system wide outage that impacted all of its North American customers. As a result, the Colorado Rockies have suspended the sale of 2007 World Series tickets scheduled to be played at Coors Field." 8.5 million? okay...seriously...the ticket resale/scalping industry is WAY out of control if 8.5 million distinct IPs are hitting their servers. theyre already using a series of jamming tactics and hiring people for an hour or 2 on sale mornings... 8.5 million...geez... Paciolan dropped the ball there, but even taking in account "e-scalpers" i wonder who would produce numbers expecting 8.5m hits as a load estimate for the launch? damn...

CWTP: "Whatamess! Five hundred tickets sold. That’s all. Even mannytrillo could have sold more." HA HA Maybe I should put my resume in over there in Denver...:)

as of now the incident is supposedly an "external malicious attack"...aka lol internet.

You know what would end ticket scalping? Raising the prices of face value tickets.

Chad - it's hard enough to afford to go to a playoff game. Are you saying they should cost more?

Yes. It's called supply and demand I'll be damned if I'm not a BIG supporter of supply side economics.

Ticket scalping to some degree is like commodities speculation. If you Wrigley bought box seat tickets for September for $100 at that start of the season, by the end of the season you would be sitting pretty...unless the year was 2006. But I agree with Chad that if there are tickets that are always scalped for higher than their face value, then raising their prices would curb scalping. You can't apply that to all the Cubs tickets for a given season, though.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it

    alzolay...bro...
