I think I know what the problem is.

I just bought "Revolver" the other day and have been listening to it nonstop. This is just about the easiest decision of the tournement for me. (already have Sgt. Pepper's and Abbey Road too, what should I go for next?)

Looks a lot more patient than his older brother.

lolzzz rofl

agreed. still hate them less than u2 though. yes.

One of the only things I know about Pantera is that the main Mighty duck kid liked them in part 3. And "Cowboys from Hell" is really hard to play on guitar hero.

Brooks Kieschnick

you sure 'bout that? I'd go with "burning. . . . or as john says, "boinin' " It's the big wheel that keeps on "toinin"

They may be only 4.5 out but they are still 5 games under and have 7 teams to jump right now.

Can CCR pull off another upset?!

Beltre was coming off a 1000+ ops season. No way Aramis gets a deal like that in free agency.

I hate Kurt Cobain so Cream it is.

there is peter gabriel genesis and then the crap afterward. neither of these bands is anything special. I'm with you. Post-Peter Gabriel Genesis is AWFUL. And they weren't even that great with Peter Gabriel. Also, Keith Moon gets my vote as best drummer ever, and Pete Townshend is no slouch in the guitar department. No love for Entwistle?

Wow, this is real tough. I've had phases where I would have voted Eagles and other times where I would have picked the Police. I'm going Police I guess.

This is an example of why it is stupid to build a bullpen through free agency. Of course it's working well for us so far(sorta) but I bet at some point during Eyre's and Howry's contracts they will revert back to career numbers a bit.

do you? every retooling idea I've seen you make has Murton sitting on the bench or platooning. a bit of a strawman argument, but I am simply amazed at the number of posters who rip Dusty for not playing young players, then turn around and say Murton is not the answer in left and Cedeno is not the answer at short. Considering we're stuck with Jones, that handicaps the upgrades we can make. I'm not opposed to Murton starting and think he can be a great complimentary player. But with the current construction of this team, and the prospects for improvement that exist, I think platooning Murton with Jones may be the best option available. Now, if Murton were given regular playing time for the remainder of the season, he may be able to prove that he's more than what I believe he currently is. that's a false choice though. stop expecting five .390/.525 positions out of this baseball team. find a platoon partner for Jones in right, and let Murton play everyday. that gives you four positions out of the lineup where you can expect .375/.500 in most lineups you run out there (1B, 3B, RF, and C), and allows you to put a group of complimentary obp guys around that core, ie. Matt Murton, with the added benefit of waiting to see if Murton can become a .390/.525 guy. Murton's power would come out immediately with a slight adjustment that the Cubs coaching staff just can't figure out. he usually waits for a good pitch to hit, always puts a good swing on the ball, usually gets the sweet spot of the bat on the ball, it's just a matter of not hitting the top of the ball all the time. edit - see Sulley's thread in transactions. it would not be hard to retool this team with a couple of realistic trades and a couple of realistic signings. I think vance's rationale is that we need one more big bat to go with lee and ramirez and the easiest place to find that is in a corner outfield spot. If we could get a tejada at short or a edmonds during his prime in center I bet he could live with Murton and Jones at the corners.

correct. But not the current years stats. Each year the company, Diamondmind, puts out player projections and the season is simulated through their simulation program using the projections. This is a lot more time consuming and indepth than fantasy baseball so if you are just looking for a little bit of extra baseball than this is probably not for you. PM or IM me if you have any questions.

Quentin please.

A few of my baseball nerd friends and I are starting a new Diamondmind Sim league. We have done these things for the past few years and have recently decided to start a league of our own. We are going to try to get everything organized so we can start simming games along with the 2007 season and then continuing on from there. Here is some info about the league: Rosters will be picked by bidding on all players, and then I believe there will be message board drafts to select minor league rosters. A lot still needs to get ironed out, we just need the GM's so we can get started. If anyone has any interest in joining or any questions PM or IM me, or just reply to this post.

Apparently not about double negatives! :lol:

According to the baseball cube, It appears Sean pitched about 160 innings in 2003 between VCU, Boise and Lansing.

Sublime.

I hate nirvana.
