  1. 194. Barry Zito Hmm... Thought I pm'd you, Mizzou. My bad.
  2. If someone else picks him up, I'll just show them this thread and make a trade for a scrub so you don't have to do anything.
  3. Lol at the guy in the office pool I'm running who has Drake winning it all. WTF.

  5. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/soccerinsider/
  6. First goal since the beginning of the qualifiers, no? Oui.
  7. Kljestan finishes a pass from Holden out wide. 3-0. First goal for the US in the run of play.
  8. Freddy just missed a hat trick off a volley from an Altidore cross by about two feet wide.
  9. THE DOUBLE FOR FREDDY! ANOTHER FREE KICK UP AND OVER THE WALL! 4th goal of the tourney! Jozy is a foul drawing machine and Freddy cashes it in!
  10. I bet he doesn't.
  11. Freddy is very reminiscent of my favorite player, Franck Ribery, at times. I don't know if he is as fast though.
  12. Ok thanks. Who scored it? Odds of this actually making sports center tonight? It was Adu. It will more than likely be all March Madness, all the time on SC. It'll be youtubed no doubt. Another free kick coming.
  13. Right wing right on top of the box. Kljestan drew a man off the wall on his run and Freddy swerved it in, bounced in the box and whizzed off into the opposite direction into the net. Edit - I'm not Christian Miles. I'll never call a missed shot "genius" lol. 1-0 to us Yanks.
  14. Jozy challenges what was basically a 25-75 ball on the keeper who deservedly gave him a kick. Jozy gets up and shoves him. Ehhh...Jozy easily could've gotten a yellow on the challenge and a red on the shove. Unless the keeper dropped something racial on him, that was not worth it. No cards issued, they are going to let them play.
  15. The US U-20 vs Poland game is still what I think of with Adu. Damn tv box isn't working so missing tonights game. We are dominating possession. Altidore has had some chances, one great one that was amazingly saved by the keeper on a ball lofted by Freddy. Freddy is by miles and miles the best player on the ball in the game. Canada hasn't come close to threatening, but are basically playing 10 behind the ball, so we are going to need to capitalize on all our chances. AND AS I TYPE A GENIUS FREE KICK FROM FREDDY! What the hell kind of swerve was that?! That was wizardry.
  16. I was talking to a dude on another board. He is really talented at math. He also loves baseball and blogging about ferns or something. Ivy maybe? I dunno. Anyway, he told me this: Basically, the value in walking is not because you get on base, but because you get can't get out. There are numerous ways to answer this question. The guy with the walks will get more PAs over the course of the season. How many? Well on average about four guys will bat more because of him on the team, so if he's batting in the top 3, we can expect him to get about 100 more PAs over the course of the season. Give the guy with HRs 650 PAs. For a low estimate, give the guy with the walks 700 PAs. Using a simple linear weights formula you'll get: 231 runs for the walks. 106 runs for the homers. Even if you ignore the additional PA's. The walk guy will create .33 runs per PA. The HR guy will create half that, .163 runs per PA.
  17. Dudes, Freddy Adu is really fun to watch. I can't wait until he is on a team that will show every weekend here in the states.
  18. That's fine. I'll just have one fewer guys on my roster until he is available. I'll draft the right to him.
  19. Tonight's lineup per Ives. I'd rather see Gaven in there than Kljestan after how well Eddie has played and how much of a nose dive Sacha's has taken. -----------------Altidore--------------------- ----------------------Adu--------------------- ---Holden-------------------------Kljestan---- ----------------Edu----McCarty--------------- Sturgis-----Spector---Orozco--------Wynne -------------------Seitz-----------------------
  20. What's a cap? A hat someone earns for playing on the English national team? All countries call it "cap" but it just means how many appearances you have representing your team. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_cap
  21. How old is he? He's always been a solid goalie. Solid?
  22. http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/bird-land/bird-land/2008/03/sorting-out-shortstop/ /laugh-cry
  23. http://fantasy.mlsnet.com/login.asp bump Come on, turds.
  24. No they don't. This isn't the NFL or the MLB where the draft standing are based on W/L records, the NBA draft standings are based basically on luck. So, no the Bulls don't have to lose their remaining game to get somebody good. They just have to hope Stern is in a good mood. The top 3 are based on luck. After that it is record. And a team's chances of getting lucky increases with every team they are worse than. I'd rather have a 1% chance at Michael Beasley than a 1% chance at making it to the second round of a too-long, too-boring playoffs.
