  1. The name and photo absolutely scream Vanderbilt.
  2. Is errors a good way to judge a 17 year old playing SS? We don't even know the field conditions. It isn't like these are even minor league quality ball fields.
  3. Yes, baseball is an everyday grind where the season matters, having a bunch of mediocre teams in a playoff is not good.
  4. Michigan Nebraska, first team to 17 wins.
  5. Hoyer sounds a lot like our old pal Jim Hendry. I'm waiting for the, "compete within the division" quote.
  6. How can you hate the Dodgers? They are the smartest organization in baseball and go and get the pieces to stay at the top of the standings every year. I would love an ownership group and front office like the Dodgers.
  7. They'll be fine if they win out. It was very early in the season and Oregon will finish with a decent resume. Ohio State has recovered from early non-conference losses to make the playoffs before and they still have games left against Penn State, Michigan State and Michigan to fatten up their resume. I guess the key is 'if they win out'. They've looked a lot better of late and maybe are putting it together but they looked really shaky the first few weeks of the season so we'll see. It would help if Big Blue would start doing its job in their biggest annual game, but... Michigan needs a quarterback
  8. Can’t. Manage. A. pitching. staff.
  9. It is hard to take a "wait and see" attitude with this ownership, but all things being equal, the Cubs are in a good position to nab talent and get right back into contention in a very mediocre division.
  10. You and I both know very well that the Cardinals are somehow going to end up winning the WS. That franchise is just blessed that way. Seriously. They have easily the worst team to ever win it (06), maybe the 2nd-worst (11) and if they hadn't gagged a 3-1 lead to SF in 12, they'd probably have won that year too with a playoff spot that had never existed before the season. This is what they do. The 2011 team was blessed by playing against the worst-managed team to ever appear in a WS.
  11. Sabotage is the offensive scheme?
  12. It sounds like the Cubs are targeting the types of players who wind up signing contracts in January. It could be a very long offseason.
  13. horsefeathering losers.
  14. Bote needs to shave that birds nest.
  15. This is a big, big series for our C0bs. I'm fired up and I know you are too. Let's sweep this series.
  16. Yeah, he's the real deal.
  17. To say Triantos is a positionless less prospect is laughable.
  18. I'm not sure anyone here is paying attention, but Hendricks fade in the second half has me concerned. He's probably not worth trading, but probably not going to give the same production moving forward. The Cubs have a lot of holes to fill in starting pitching.
  19. Hopefully, we never hear from or about him again for the rest of his life. He can go live his life in obscurity.
  20. It would hurt less if they would have resigned Nick like they should have.
  21. I got an email, then a post card. I think last year I was still in the 30,000 range. EDIT: Just got a second email. They are working hard.
  22. I have been paying way too much attention to this team in the last few months than I should have given the W/L record. Although I think Ross doesn't really do a great job of managing the pen, still, he is doing a pretty good job of keeping the players playing hard-to-win games. The current collection of AAAA players and veterans have played hard and appear to be invested in these games. I think that is a point in Ross's favor. I don't know that he is the guy you want managing a contender, but he's done a pretty good job with a very bad hand dealt to him.
  23. I don't pretend to understand the NFL and I really don't watch much football at all, but it seems like a really, extremely easy decision to start your #1 pick, franchise-defining player. From an outsider looking in, the Bears look stupid.
  24. Ross keeps giving MeGill chances to pitch, that's on him.
