-
bwahahaha, nice awareness there romo
-
Well besides the obvious difference that Sheets left with an injury which affected his pitching, http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=260904116

Can we take out Zambrano's bad start against Pittsburgh then?

:roll: :roll: at your :roll: -
Thanks Georgia... good to see one of my upset picks pan out. I'd be sitting really pretty if Minnesota hadn't choked.
-
Kansas City (-2.5) Minnesota (+2.5) New Orleans (+3) NY Jets (-12.5) Pittsburgh (+6) Dallas (-12.5) Seattle (+3) Tennessee (-3) Houston (-4) Philadelphia (-8) San Diego (-13.5) San Fran (+10.5) Buffalo (+9) Miami (+9) Chicago (-3)

good to see the giants decided to show up this year
-
15? that's being optimistic.
-
Zambrano has had a better ERA+ each of the last 3 years (5 years actually), yet Sheets has had a better FIP each of the last 3 years. Does this mean that the Cubs' defense has been great while the Brewers' defense has been atrocious, and Zambrano has been really lucky while Sheets has been really unlucky? Seems like a lot to assume there.
-
Jacque Jones was a fairly lousy signing who strangely turned into a value signing based on a bizarro 2006-07 free agent market. But Aubrey Huff at 3/18 is better value than Jones at 3/16.

26-24 Texas... props to Iowa for the strong effort against a more talented team in what was essentially a road game. Can't say I'll ever feel great picking against a Ferentz-led team, even in a down year.
-
real nice call by texas, running the end-around as iowa looks for the run up the gut. edit - smart play by selvin young, falling down before reaching the sideline.
-
good call texas, 2 yard pass on 3rd and 4. horrible punt by texas... btw kirk ferentz is a great coach, his team has no business being in this game talent-wise.
-
By the way, Sean McDonough is the announcer for the Texas-Iowa game... Pam Ward then Sean McDonough, talk about going from the outhouse to the penthouse
-
:x Had Navy in that game. too damn bad, you should've lost 28 points on Texas Tech last night
-
Well apparently the Giants are favored as a road team, so I pick Washington tonight, regardless of what the spread is.
-
After Minnesota's choke last night, college pools are dead to me now.
-
Yeah it's really stupid to judge pitchers based on how many runs they give up. Pretty meaningless stat. ERA+ might not tell all, but I'm not enamored with FIP. Sheets was not nearly a run and a half better than Zambrano last year, nor was he more than half a run better than Z in 2004.
-
Hey even if Michigan loses to Georgetown, they're still 12-3!!! So what if their best win is over Davidson?
-
holy cross lost to friggin niagara... wtf
-
How many years has Sheets had a better ERA+ than Zambrano? Here's a hint... it's a number between -1 and 1. Maybe, maybe not. Hill's ERA+ was equal to Capuano's last year, and if one guy is likely to have a better year, it's probably Hill. He's average; Miller/Prior could easily be as good as Bush in 2007.
-
well, i was gonna watch a little of the Meineke Bowl while having lunch, but the two-headed monster of Pam Ward and Mike Gottfried is doing the game... so I had to watch something else.
-
Nice bargain signing by the O's. Even if he doesn't get back to where he was a couple of years again, he's still a good value at that price.
-
Marquis probably wouldn't even make the team.
