    Let's say the Cubs and Brewers each finsh 92-70 and the Phillies finish 91-71, wouldn't they need to have a playoff to decide who is the division champ and who is the WC?

    The really hilarious part will come when they find him guilty and he's a registered sex offender.

    Wait, you mean you're not Chad Gaudin? Now I'm really confused.

    I can say with 100% certainty that its not true. Richard Savage- 1908- is my grandfather. He's a lot smarter than you or I will ever be. Wow thats amazing. When watching his video, I was actually marveling at how "with it" he is for being 100 years old. You should be proud. Does he live in a nursing home? No. In fact he still lives alone although they have someone that comes in to clean. He still does his own taxes and writes a column for the Notre Dame alumni association newsletter.

    Haven't seen or heard it either. Check out NCs signature- which means you'll have to remove the block.

    obligatory "It's rule 5 not rule V" post. I think this year might be one of the eaier years as far as Rule 5 goes. If they have to, the Cubs can de roster K Hill, McGeHee, Fuld, and Fox. There's also Lieber and Edmonds who will be gone.

    And then this: Beat me to it. In fairness, they asked him about the Cubs. If I managed the Sox I'd be pretty tired of answering Cub related questions. Then again, he could give boring answers if he didn't like the attention.

    do you pronounce it clinch-"oh"-meter or Clinch-o-meter as though it rhymed with thermometer?

    I saw him triple and double against Delmarva in the 1 game I went to this season. On the double he strayed too far past 2nd and was thrown out trying to get back. Anyway he looked pretty good in that small sample. Out of curiosity, who would be the top Shorebirds player on this list? would they make the top 50? The O's do a lot of weird things with their farm system.

    How is his range/ instincts?
  12. biittner77
    I'm surprised the Reds just cut that guy. He wasn't very good, but he has a decent arm and he still had options if I'm not mistaken. It's not like their system is so loaded on MR prospects that they couldn't have kept him in their system and see if he figured it out. The Reds hate the Cubs more than they hate the Brewers. Or do they?

    Especially with expanded rosters.

    Depends on if he wants to throw like Jeff Bagwell did at the end of his career. I thought Bagwell's issues were his shoulder and it impacted his swing. Correct. If he had the surgery today he could be back at the end of April next year.

    I meant 75% which would be the Mets
  17. biittner77
    How can a team with a 1.5 game lead with 19 to play have an 85% chance of winning the division? How do they calculate that formula?
  18. biittner77
    So what's the difference between a 7-9 and a 6-10 team? If the Bears split with GB they would have been 6-10. Conversely, they played 4 games they lost by a single score including 2 OT games. Had they won the 2 OT games and held on to beat the Giants they would have been a 10-6 playoff team. Finally, the ability to make those 4 plays is not chance, at least not always.

    I was thinking that the Lions went 9-7. I should have looked that up first. But if you look at the number of 8-8 and 7-9 teams it's not hard to imagine that they were a couple breaks away from 10 wins. The point is that there are a lot of NFL teams bunched in the middle. Unless they win convincingly or lose badly the outcome turns on 1-2 plays. Of course something happens to turn a 4-12 into 10-6. The fact that it happens ever year shows that if you eliminate the really bad teams and the really good teams, most everyone else finishes somewhere between 6-10 and 10-6.

    Last year Cleveland went 10-6 after going 4-12 the year before. Tenn went 10-6 after 8-8 in 06. In 2006 the Jets went 10-6 after going 4-12 the year before. Also in 2006 the Saints went 10-6 after going 3-13 in 05. In 05 the Redskins won 10 games after going 6-10 the year before. same goes for the 04 Jets. The point is that teams that seemingly have no business winning 10 games- the 06 Saints being the most glaring example- still have a chance of winning 10 games. The odds of them winning 9 games is even better.
  21. biittner77
    I think you are really overstating it there. There are plenty of teams every year that don't have a legit shot for 10 wins. Every year there's at least 1 team that comes of out nowhere and does well. Think of last years Lions team. They were not very good but they almost made it to 10 wins. The Ravens 2 years ago ( I think) were the same way.
  22. biittner77
    A couple things about the NFL that have to be taken into account. First, the difference between going 10-6 and 6-10 is 4 plays. With the right breaks all but the worst teams have a chance to win 10 games. The other thing to keep in mind is that as little as 1 player can make a huge difference. If Harris is truly healthy, he will either get prssure up the middle or require a double team, thus freeing up Brown etal to get pressure from the outside.

    ...and in other news Jimmy cracked corn.

    Let's see. Mark DeRosa is a very good hitter and a tremendous defensive 3B + Mike Fontenot is a very good hitter and a competent defensive 2B = Casey McGehee should never play again Cubs lineup the day after they clinch the division: Pie CF Fontenot 2nd Hoffpauir RF DuBois LF Ward 1st McGehee 3rd Hill C Cedeno SS
