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

Submitted by Dmac on Mon, 10/22/2007 - 10:14 pm

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).

Submitted by tbone on Mon, 10/22/2007 - 10:25 pm

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

Submitted by tbone on Mon, 10/22/2007 - 10:27 pm

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...

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.

Submitted by Baby Maddux on Tue, 10/23/2007 - 10:07 pm

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

Submitted by Chad on Tue, 10/23/2007 - 10:11 pm

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

Submitted by The Real Neal on Wed, 10/24/2007 - 10:04 am

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.

    Things I've been wrong about:

    -Tauchman is fine as a 4th OF. I knew that. I just want a better LH DH option and he was really the DH for us until Seiya got hurt. I'm glad Mervis is getting a chance at it. Caissie is coming for that job for sure. But Tauchman continues to be highly useful as a 4th OF with Seiya being hurt

    -I wanted Yency to go to get guys at Iowa a chance. Guys like Palencia and Sanders or RileyT. Maybe even Hodge! But Yency has been better the last two plus weeks. He did hit 96 the other day. He was 93 in Texas to open the season.

    -Leiter has his split working enough. It just needs to stay there

    -I was surprised Jed picked Wisdom over Cooper. I wonder if this happens if Seiya wasn't hurt. Wisdom has more power. Cooper is the better hitter. Jed picked Wisdom and Wisdom had an option left as well.

    -Palencia just doesn't miss enough bats. Similar to ManRod, just two yrs younger. ManRod is killing AAA for TB right now!

    Things I got right so far:

    -Hendricks. Sorry Kyle. You got paid though!

    Jed, you missed there.

    -Smyly. If Jed could've traded him before or during ST, then he should have and saved some cash.

    -Mastro.  Not a LH DH. Pinch runner. Defensive utility. Maybe he's better than Madrigal but didn't get a legit chance to prove it.

    -Luke Little is good. He's had one bad outing. That's it. Needs to get better entering with guys on base. But he needs to stay in MLB.

    -Oh yeah....Morel is doing fine at 3B! He'll get better as well!!

    bellinger "right rib contusion"

  • Childersb3 (view)

    South Bend just lost the lead in the bottom of the 9th on the weirdest scenario, ever.

    It's absolutely pouring rain....men on 1st and 2nd, 1out....JPatterson asks for a new ball, but no time out was called....he throws the old ball toward the dugout (not sure if it rolled out of play).....the ump declares the runners get two bases each so one run scores. Then a single up the middle ties the game.

    The rain was coming down in buckets at this point.

    Just weird

  • crunch (view)

    ...and bellinger is gone in the 7th because of that 2nd blown chance and the wall he bounced off of...

    hopefully his rib cage/shoulder feels better tomorrow, we just got happ back.

    Phil,

    Any thoughts on Y. Rojas' stuff and Y. Melendez's game (I believe I've asked about him before, sorry)?

  • crunch (view)

    wow, things are moving fast.  hopefully it continues.

  • crunch (view)

    morel with 4 clean plays in 4 innings...showed off his 100000000mph arm a couple times.

    cody bellinger not having a good 4th, though...5 run leads are handy when your CF is making your pitcher have a 5-out inning.  2nd blown chance was ruled a hit even though it went in/out of his glove...1st was lost in the lights, also ruled a hit.

  • crunch (view)

    welcome back happ!  double off the wall 1st PA back.

  • crunch (view)

    oh yeah, totally, i was just chiming about why i fan like i fan.

    i would like nothing more than hendricks to keep on hendricks'ing.  guys with his stuff can throw for a long, long time as long as it works.

    he velocity is actually up a minor amount this year.  it's really "damn" when a guy like him not only has gas in the tank, but it's looking like it was years ago.  he added a curve a few years ago and it helped a little bit, but he's throwing it less and less while the fb/change combo are less effective.

    CRUNCH—There is no one person in this community I’m talking about.  My remarks were not directed at you or anyone, but at a tone I’ve noticed lately. 

    You have a great, dry sense of humor and there is thought behind your comments.   You and I don’t always agree but I always understand your position.  

    Lastly, and I’ll be quiet, I agree with you on Hendricks.  We can dislike the recent performance but still love the guy.  Lots of questions about his future.
