If they are all on them...is it not a level playing field. I really would like a fully enhanced league in each sport. Frigging cyborgs pumped full of roids. The xfl was a taste, and that taste was good and I want more.

The things I muse about while poopin.

was a great and enjoyable series.

Edit : I kid, the xfl sucked

I guess this is the new norm for baseball lol. I thought chest bumps were gay but this...Miley Cirus would be proud!

Back in my day, cock bumps were something you called a Dr about.

Great series. Great entertainment. Now we have to wait til APRIL.........
I like football but basketball is boring. Give them both 100 points and 5 minutes. .....same result.

What about Pete Rose? Do you feel the same way towards him?

When you root against a team breaking a 108 year drought, unless your team is the other team, shows that you are either very angry with life, your girlfriend, or your pecker.... either way I suggest having a snicker and smoking a b........

Good win Cubs!

pete rose I dont know. Did he ever bet against his team to lose? Or was it just to win? Took him 12-13 years to even admit he bet on baseball.
I see him as more of an addict then anything.
So how I feel about him is he should work on staying sober"not gambling" then worrying if baseball will ever foregive him.
I feel these guys are being paid for an image and when the image comes back as a fraud they want forgiveness. What they should have to do is payback all the memorabilia that was spent on them for being a cheat or a fraud.

Serious.

You are in the baseball thread, bashing baseball. Claiming the game is rigged when two teams that haven't been to the series for a total of over 170 years between the two of them are the finalist........ Crazy way to "rig" things.

The cup bump is pretty lame........ wft?

Also, @GrowGod you quoted something as me saying it, but I didn't say that? Editing error or thcfarmer? Post 150

The rain-delay meeting that changed Cubs history

http://www.espn.com/blog/chicago/cu...anged-cubs-history?ex_cid=espnfb&sf40922697=1




CLEVELAND -- Call him a mad scientist or a crazy uncle or a tinkerer, but you can't call Joe Maddon unsuccessful. After all, Maddon just became the second manager in Chicago Cubs history to win a World Series.

Maddon drew a lot of fire over the last couple of games in the Series because of some moves that were ... open to interpretation. Bringing in Aroldis Chapman in the seventh inning of Game 6 was the lightning-rod move. Then when Chapman came on the Game 7 in relief of Jon Lester, his velocity was down and he coughed up a three-run lead that, if things had turned out differently, might have gone down as the worst moment in Cubs history.

Yet the thing with Maddon is that no matter what quibbles you might have about his in-game tactics, focusing on that part of his managerial dossier is like looking at the color of the sky in the background of the Mona Lisa. You're kind of missing the point.

Maddon earns his keep at the season-management level. That is, he creates an atmosphere in which players stay loose and feel empowered. As a disciplinarian, he's more of a backstop than a Lombardi -- if something has to be said, he'll do it. Beyond that, he talks time and again about the need for veterans to do his bidding.

"I'd much rather the peers carry my message," is a common Maddon line. They did just that in Game 7, and it paid off.

In a kind of pathetic fallacy, the skies opened up at Progressive Field after the ninth inning, while the Cubs and their fans were still reeling from the fact that with four outs to go, their three-run lead had disappeared. The white tarps were unrolled over the infield and the teams retreated to their respective clubhouses.

"I walked off the field, the rain delay," Maddon said. "It's crazy how things happen for a reason. I don't know. But I walk off and I see them all gathering in that little room down below there, and they had a meeting. And I'm upstairs just checking out the weather map."

The meeting was led by veteran Jason Heyward, who playing in his first World Series, did not want it to end with a seventh-game collapse.

"It was starting to rain and I was like, they're going to pull the tarp and we need to get together and have a meeting," Heyward said. "Just needed to let these guys know they're awesome. Don't get down."

Rajai Davis' tying homer in the eighth was, and how much it ignited the Indians' portion of the crowd at Progressive Field, things could have spiraled out of control. And if the Cubs are honest with themselves, they hadn't played a particularly clean game. But the Cubs didn't win their first 113 games -- regular and postseason -- by laying down at the feet of adversity.

"It's about the whole team," Heyward said. "It's about everybody trying to get something done. I let them know that I loved them. ... We needed 114 wins, and I told them that everybody in this room, right now, was going to 114."

It was a win-one-for-the-Gipper speech that will resonate through Cubs history. And it impacted his teammates, even in the moment.

"He just wanted to get everyone together and remind us that we've been picking each other up since Day 1," Addison Russell said. "The whole team played lights-out. It was definitely a team win. We wouldn't be here without the team. It was just a great bonding experience."

And all that happened while the field manager was checking out the weather reports. It's like parenting -- you teach your children well, and then trust they will follow the lessons they've learned. Only normal parenting doesn't generally pay off with something as shiny and tangible as a World Series trophy.

"Like I told you, I hate meetings," Maddon said. "I'm not a meetings guy. I love when players have meetings, I hate when I do. So they had their meeting and the big part of it was, we don't quit. We don't quit."

Well, attribute it to what you want, but the Cubs came out of the rain delay on fire, putting up two runs in the 10th to give them what turned out to be their championship-winning margin. Then in the bottom of the inning, the Cubs closed it out with young Carl Edwards and Mike Montgomery finishing off what most nights would be Chapman's game.

That mix of veterans and youngsters, and the eccentric manager who oversees them all, is part of what made the Cubs so special. And they could remain special for a long time.

"It's really great for our entire Cub-dom to get beyond that moment and continue to move forward," Maddon said. "Because now based on the young players we have in this organization, we have an opportunity to be good for a long time, and without any constraints, without any of the negative dialogue."

Really think so..

That was my bad, I think I was quoting you when you called me lame but never finished it. Then I quoted Xavier and forgot to delete your quote.
I will leave your baseball thread now so everyone can get back in happy land.

I like all the grab ass and cock bumping! But seriously was a great series! Go cubs for breaking the streak!

Oh give it a rest, I agree the dick bumping is childish and basically moronic.
Why exactly do you feel motivated to hate Pete Rose? His biggest crime was agreeing to a permanent ban, when he should have admitted guilt..and at most it should have meant a one season banning. He actually did make it into the HOF recently...and no he never bet against his team.

Blown out of proportion maybe? take for instance..
In the early 1960s, NFL stars Paul Hornung and Alex Karras were both suspended for one season for betting on games (but not against their own teams). Hornung wound up in the Hall of Fame, while Karras became a television star. Neither were generally thought to have seriously endangered the sport or its popularity.

Just because you recognize the name and the misappropriated hate from others..doesn't equal a "douche bag". He holds baseball records that his critics can only dream about.
