Meh, I was hearing this same argument on the radio this morning. Zambrano was already at 85 pitches (Sweet Lou had said he was pulling him at 100, anyway), and had struggled in the previous inning. Unless he had a very unlikely 1-2-3 inning, he was getting pulled in the middle of the next inning, anyway, maybe with runners on base, so Lou made the move at the beginning of the inning...and he's always preferred to switch pitchers at the beginning of an inning.

This is like Bosucks fans blaming Buckner for losing the '86 Series, and Cubs fans blaming Bartman for '03. Picking out one action in a nine inning game in a 5 or 7 game series is just whining.

Speaking of Bartman, I heard an interesting thesis the other morning on ESPN Radio, that went like this: their shabby treatment of Bartman since '03 shows Cubs fans to be poor baseball fans (they've basically ruined this guy's life for not knowing enough to let Alou play the ball, despite the fact that everybody in his section was also going for the ball, and despite the fact that that one play just can't be reasonably called the cause of the evental collapse), who don't deserve a Series victory. What say you?

(In the interest of full disclosure, I'm a lifelong Mets fan. I'm about as bitter as an unripe persimmon these days.)

xhad, in that thread it wasnt the charts that were the problem. The mod edits by Wookie and I cover it but fyi the first one contained a huge pdf that had some articles copied in their entirely in it that I wasnt comfortable leaving there since I wasnt sure of the source and as I said he didnt need them there. FWIW the actual chart part of the pdf in linked to in SSSH FAQ under "How should I play pre-flop (pf)?" so i dont know why OP didnt link to that one.

I'll be back real soon.

To be an Aussie you'll need to be able to pass this test.

1. Do you understand the meaning, but are unable to explain the origin of, the term "died in the arse"?
2. What is a mole?
3. Are these terms related: chuck a sickie; chuck a spaz; chuck a U-ey?
4. Explain the following passage: "In the arvo last Chrissy the relos rocked up for a barbie, some bevvies and a few snags. After a bit of a Bex and a lie down we opened the pressies, scoffed all the chockies, bickies and lollies. Then we drained a few tinnies and Mum did her block after Dad and Steve had a barney and a bit of biffo."


CUSTOMS
1. Macca, Chooka and Wanger are driving to Surfers in their Torana. If they are travelling at 100 km/h while listening to Barnsey, Farnsey and Acca Dacca, how many slabs will each person on average consume between flashing a brown eye and having a slash?

2. What are the ingredients in a rissole?
3. Demonstrate the correct procedure for eating a Tim Tam.
4. Do you have an Aunty Myrna who is famous for her tuna mornay and other dishes involving a can of cream of celery soup?
5. In any two-hour period have you ever eaten three-bean salad, a chop and two serves of pav washed down with someone else's beer that has been nicked from a bath full of ice?
6. When you go to a bring- your-own-meat barbie can you eat other people's meat or are you only allowed to eat your own?
7. What purple root vegetable beginning with the letter "b" is required by law to be included in a hamburger with the lot?

1. Do you own or have you ever owned a lawn mower, a pair of thongs, an Esky or Ugg boots?
2. Is it possible to "prang a car" while doing "circle work"?
3. Who would you like to crack on to?
