    That's what I thought. If you're going to put a fb player's head on a mountain it has to be a QB and not a very good RB that played for like 6 years. Besides, QBs are pretty. I was thinking one of Unitas, Bradshaw, Marino, Montana, Elway, Favre (shudder) or even Manning (Peyton, not Eli). Those would be the only QBs that could be considered the best in the game for more than a couple years.

    The Cubs can also re-sign DeJesus next season to help next season.

    Really interesting that he likes Baez's SS defense to wind up better than Castro's. And his comment that Bryant, Baez, Soler and Vogelbach have 40 HR power. Ie Rizzo and Castro better get their crap together. You keep insinuating that Rizzo is in danger of losing his job to Vogelbach, but I don't think that dog will hunt. Rizzo, imo, is only going to get better (he's still quite young, remember). I think he'd have to get worse before we got into "he batter watch out for Vogelbach" territory. I for one enjoy the irony of the guy who keeps harping on new toy syndrome (to the point of bumping his own threads to pat himself on the back) constantly ready to replace the productive young major leaguers at a moment's notice.

    I don't know how you've done it, bukie. You have played the weakest schedule (150 points lower than the next closest team) and yet you finish with the two lowest-scoring teams. Nice set up. Defense wins championships. blind luck helps I'll never refuse it.

    All my team needs to do to win the division is beat the lowest 2 scoring teams in the league. Set up to fail gloriously.

    No, that's correct.

    Week 20

    bukie replied to bukie's topic in Fantasy Sports

    Truffles team ended up with eight starts this week. May not matter anyway, but it is what it is.

    Baseball should take the hockey method of reviewing calls and the tennis method of challenging balls and strikes.

    I included England because if the UEFA playoffs started today they would be the ninth team and wouldn't qualify.

    This World Cup will be a bit of a unique case where I'd want no part of the host country's group, and the seeded teams would all reasonably be the best 8 teams. Still almost no way the USMNT gets a seed (especially if they go just by FIFA ratings again) I'd want absolutely no part of a Brazil, Spain, Argentina, Germany group. Other 4 would likely be from group of Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Colombia, Croatia, Belgium, Greece, Uruguay, England. Among all those, the only countries even in remote danger of not qualifying are Uruguay and England.

    Jozy's three goals: http://espnfc.com/video/espnfc/video/_/id/1522547?cc=5901

    Brooks did really well on Dzeko, that 90th minute goal was just a really good goal. All three of Jozy's tallies were world class. Great touch by Bradley to set up the 3rd.

    You could get excited about them beating up on the decent CONCACAF teams during the streak (Jamaica, Panama x2, Honduras WCQ). This was a step up in competition, still a friendly. If they can somehow win in Costa Rica in three weeks, it's time for crazy excitement (they've never won in CR before).

    This was the most impressive win in the streak. Took it to a legit top 5 Euro squad in their place after falling victim to some bad luck (and bad play) early, and dominated possession in the second half especially.
  16. bukie
    Holy crap, they might actually win.

    Bosnia's a real quality team. This could get ugly.

    Week 20

    bukie posted a topic in Fantasy Sports

    Three weeks left in the season, three playoff spots clinched, but the rest of the East is basically up for grabs at this point.

    Scouts also thought Concepcion was terrible.

    Did that HBP look intentional? I was surprised they didn't walk Castillo intentionally, and then they hit him anyway.
  22. bukie
    Castillo 1 for 1 today with a HR and five plate appearances.

    Walkington Castillo.
