2009, Saints-Colts.

Hmm...do I root for Peyton Manning or Richard Sherman in two weeks?
-
Especially considering Sherman was out of position and lucked out on a tip drill.

Yankees Sign Masahiro Tanaka

"Truth" and "Beat Writer" don't belong in the same sentence. Cynicism from Wittenmeyer isn't any more true than the opposite. -

Not sure why, but that tweet made me imagine what kind of pitch Loria would make to Tanaka's group. -
I figure if you want to make sure you pitch a guy on a set schedule to see how his frame holds up under standard duress, Daytona is the last place you do that.

Like I said before, I'd be pretty comfortable photocopying Soriano's contract and giving it to Tanaka. 8 years, 136 mil. -
Offseason Rumors
bukie replied to Clem Fandango's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Interesting. Things have been really quiet on the Wrigley renovation front. What if they have been secretly looking over other sites and have decided to go that way. ok ok unlikely, but what kind of enormous news could there really be that doesn't involve a player move and that would shock us. Ownership change Front office change Ballpark move Ballpark renovations already nearing completion in secret, Tunney suddenly declared missing TV deal New baseball video game comes out, giving Derwood a chance to live blog his character once again -
That's why I picked Edwards. He's going against 2 guys (Almora and Soler) who each had about a 1/2 season of attrition last year. I'm not going to assume Edwards is going to get hurt until he actually gets hurt. And I'm not going to count the chance he gets hurt against him when comparing him to 2 players who have been hurt. I'd probably vote Edwards next, but based on this poll it looks like Soler will be ranked 4th since his little bar is the next largest after Almora. I only voted Almora because all the experts say how polished and high his floor is. I trust the experts on this and think that's very important. Edwards has an extremely high ceiling, and an Ace in my personal opinion, but I don't think he's anywhere near as "safe" a prospect as Almora. That means little since nobody has any idea what Almora voters at 3 would pick for 4.

I wonder how much of this is to get rid of the creepy guy(s) dressing up as a bear outside the stadium and pretending to be the defacto mascot. They hadn't been able to legally get rid of them since the Cubs didn't have an official mascot, but now...
-
Ribery, Bale and Radamel Falcao. Messi voted Iniesta, Neymar and Xavi. EDIT: Dempsey voted Ronaldo, Messi and Zlatan.
-
It's a vast improvement to Ronnie Woo Woo. EDIT: In fact, if they took Ronnie Woo Woo, put him in this getup, and made him stay quiet, this is the best thing to happen to the franchise this offseason.

Being a cynic doesn't make you smarter or right either, as much as you try to insinuate. Yes, because it is somehow cynical to be disappointed in how much the Cubs are losing. No, because it is cynical to assume the worst in everything the Cubs are doing.
-
I could have accepted Steve Olt.
-
At no point was any of that a correct answer.
-
Not sure this is a top 25 team. This team needs easy buckets to score, since nobody can shoot but Rice, and if they double Rice, there are no other options.
-
I was going to make a Derrick Rose joke, but he didn't go to the Big Ten, so Magic Johnson for sure.
-
And oddly enough, the point of having a poll is to avoid having 100 posts saying "I agree" and forcing Raisin to count them all.
-
Multiple selections would be more helpful if there were a way to rank selections.

Maybe somebody wants to make sure he doesn't fall off the ballot from lack of support...

Just give him a copy of the Soriano deal, with Tanaka's name taped over it. Save money on reprinting. -

Also, I'm sure it's not relevant now, but I'd add Candelario, Vizcaino, and maaaaybe Olt and Villanueva to the next poll.

Only one option? Seems limiting.
