Around SBN: Doug Flutie's Hail Mary, And Why College Sports Matter

Open Thread: Hall Of Fame Game, Cubs vs. Padres, Monday 6/16, 1:00 CT

COOPERSTOWN, New York -- This will be a different sort of game thread; our data provider has not given us any direct information, so there's no "complete coverage" box at the top of this post, and since so far there's no information available on who will be the starting pitchers, I can't post a pitcher box or stats for the minor leaguers who will participate. The list of Cub minor leaguers who will be in Cooperstown today is as follows:

Junior Lake, Cesar Salazar, Bryan Jost, John Contreras, Robinson Chirinos, George Matheus, Alvaro Sosa, Dwayne Kemp, and Kevin Soto, and pitchers Yohan Gonzales, Julio Pena, Rogelio Carmona, Miguel Sierra, Jeff Antigua, Luke Sommer, and Carlos Rojas.

As noted in one of the threads yesterday, most of these guys will have to buy a ticket to ever get into the Hall of Fame. The only one I've ever seen play before is Chirinos, who has been in a couple of spring training games I've seen. Meanwhile, the Padres don't have a list of players called up on their website, but they did call up their top prospect, Chase Headley; he'll be activated for the Padres/Yankees series beginning tomorrow, and will also play today.

Anyway, this is for general discussion today -- try to be nice about this game. I am well aware that the story told of the creation of baseball in Cooperstown in 1839 by Abner Doubleday is a myth, created more than 100 years ago to provide the pastoral background to the game that people seemed to want at the time. As myths go, it's pretty harmless. If baseball wanted to honor its actual past, the Hall of Fame would be in Hoboken, New Jersey, where on June 19, 1846 the first game with set rules was played.

But it's not, and I'm here, and so are the Cubs and Padres, and today is about fun, honoring the past, and having an enjoyable afternoon. Here's some history of this game from the HoF website.

The biggest problem today may be the weather:

Today: Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly after noon. Some of the storms could be severe, with damaging winds. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 75. Southwest wind between 8 and 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Today's game is on WGN; for the rest of the very abbreviated MLB schedule see the MLB.com Mediacenter.

MLB.com Gameday (2007 version; I'm not 100% sure this one will work for this game, but am posting it anyway)

MLB.com Gameday (2008 version - this one definitely works, as it has a preview up already)

Today's overflow comment threads will post at 2:15 pm and 3:15 pm CT.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

If nothing else it

will be fun to see some of our minor league players play that most of would never get the chance to see.

Sidenote not worthy of a seperate post

It seems like the entire Chicago media is in a fight with one another. North and Teddy. Jay with everyone. Murp with Boers and Bernstein have always disliked each other.

I wish Lawrence Holmes would get a show. All this crap is starting to annoy me with these ego driven media members. I feel like every media member in this town has an underlying motive which doesn’t allow them to be objective. I know I shouldn’t bring it up if it annoys me but it appears there really isn’t much to talk about today.

I’m takling about an everyday show where he has a partner. I think very few people can have a solo show and no one at the score is capable, Holmes is the closest I think. The only guy that ever pulled it off in my mind was Dan Patrick.

Holmes is good, IMO.

But I can see how he’d benefit from a partner, as he tends to lapse into monologue a lot and ignores callers. Waddle and Silvie on AM 1000 is the only show I can listen to from beginning to end.

Only Way Game Could Work

This is the last year for this game. The only way it could be interesting would be to have MLB teams with affiliates in the International League and Eastern League to play in this game. You could see good AAA and AA players that way. That’s a moot point now as 2008 will the mark the end of the Hall of Fame game.

I couldn’t care less if Doubleday or Cartwright or whomever “invented” baseball. The HOF in Cooperstown is a special place and EVERYONE who says they’re a baseball fan should go one day.

Al, as usual, I am completely jealous. :)

Let’s all take this opportunity to celebrate the fact that we are fans of the best sport ever invented and the best franchise to ever put on a uniform.

Ah, they changed it, then.

Last night, ESPN was reporting it as two errors on Utley. The change was in order, IMO, though.

Just a thought:

The team left Toronto early this morning and landed in Albany roughly before 9 a.m. CDT. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAL9907
This game is a detriment to the overall team, as everybody had to travel. Also, jetlag may begin to rear its ugly head after two takeoffs/landings. I’d hate it if the team shows signs of fatigue in the upcoming series because of this exhibition shindig.
P.S. It’s good to be back in Chicago and I’m saddened to read 720AM doesn’t have the game.

Well the busy travel day certainly sucks

But the term jetlag applies to the difficulty dealing with time zone changes and having your sleep schedule thrown off.

Game would probably be a lot better received generally

and might have survived if it had been played post-WS. Think about it. One more chance for fans to get their baseball fix.

OR

First Spring Training game, get it nationally televised, first chance for said fix.

Instead, you have a match-up that (a) few care about and (b) just pisses off fans and players of any contending team playing in it.

Gee. Wonder why it had trouble.

How about if Bud...

arbitrarily decides to add one more round of playoffs to which ever league plays the HOF game? The winner gets an automatic 1 game playoff game at the conclusion of the season against the Wildcard team! Then mlb baseball could market the HOF game as “THIS TIME…IT COUNTS A WHOLE BUNCH!”

I’ve been trying to come up with a system under which, at a given point in the season, the two teams with the lowest winning percentage in each league would have to forego a mutual off day to play the HOF game. I mean, come on, like the Mariners and Rockies have anything better to do?

Leagues swap every year, and teams rotate

backwards alphabetically. The A’s play the Yakees, then the Astros play the Rockies. After the list is exhausted, the next letter in the name is used. If the winner of the HOF game is a playoff team at the end of the year….then the loser of the game get’s the playoff game. If both teams are playoff teams….then the Yankees are automatically awarded a playoff spot and home-field throughout. Easy.

    Rumors..

    According to Gammons, we let the Mariners know that we want in on Bedard, and the Padres that we’re interested in Maddux/Wolf.

    And Cleveland scouted our minor league/major league team. Gammons also said that the Indians will probably trade him sooner rather than later.

    I’ve said here many times that Indians are not going to trade CC but I’m starting to revisit my thinking. Too much smoke out there for there not to be some fire somewhere.

    with Wang hurt, the Yankees are going to be in on every starter. Any sellers would be fools not to use the Yankees to drive up the price. And Shapiro is no fool.
