Odds of bad team beating good team in a series?
bukie replied to soccer10k's topic in General Baseball Talk
I'd say about a 10% chance. I took a quick grid of the worst four teams in each league against the four playoff teams in each league (so HOU/CHC/SD/FLA vs PHI/MIL/ARI/STL and MIN/SEA/BAL/KC vs NYY/TEX/DET/TB). The bad teams won about 1/3 of the games overall, won 3 of the 32 series, and tied four others. None of the bad teams won any season series that went beyond 10 games (so intradivisional), and only one tied such a series (BAL vs TB was 9-9). The longer the series, though, the less the chance the bad team wins it. -
Second bowl-eligible team in the country, after GT squeaked by Maryland 21-16 earler.
-
I wonder if Raiders fans feel like Blackhawks fans did after Wirtz died.
-
Nice recovery after the rocky start, Illinois. Maybe you're not the least impressive undefeated team in the country anymore.
-
Honest question: when was the last time Illinois played Notre Dame in football? (I know they've never beaten ND, but it has to have been forever and a day since they've played)
-
Mostly irrelevant but funny: Illinois could become the first bowl-eligible team in the country this weekend.

Name the first obscure 90's Cub you can think of
bukie replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'd say Ricky Gutierrez, but he wasn't on the Cubs until 2000, even though his most memorable moment for me came in 1998. -
It's funny, though, because I'm not so sure I wouldn't rather have Ventura as a Cubs manager than Sandberg. The manager's best quality in baseball is an ability to not muck things up by overmanaging, so hey, maybe Ventura can do that.

Robin Ventura Oops, that was an obscure 90's White Sox player. -
I remain wholly convinced that he has no idea how his 2005 team won the World Series.
-
I'm not sure which Kenny Williams quote is funnier, that Ventura was at the top of his search list from the get-go, or that he wanted to get him quickly before some other team did.
-
Does anyone have any idea what Ventura has even done since he retired 7 years ago?
-
I remember when the Tigers did something like this a while back. It didn't end well.

Cubs team sources: Likely Sandberg reconciliation
bukie replied to Hollandsworths mug's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
omg He's better paid, more well-liked, probably had more and better gals then you, and when it's all said and done and it's in the history books he will be remembered as a good manager. And no one will remember you. DUSTY BUSTERS zz thorn was the worst hopefully he died in a one car accident Was that the guy that tried to argue that drunk driving was safe because he hadn't killed anyone else while drunk driving yet? -
Uhh...Brian Roberts, as has already been mentioned like 10 times in this thread?
-
Just waiting for the day when SSR gets bored enough to just have a whole thread to himself.

Well, sure, but did he sleep with Cindy Sandberg? -
It's like LeBron and Bosh all over again.

Hillbillies and Rednecks
-
The Cubs need more VORP and less derp.
-
Friedman with triple the budget is basically Friedman with more room for error. I'm hoping the Rays ownership does something silly that makes him want to leave.
-
Now we just need the Rays ownership to decide to slash payroll again, and it's time to woo Friedman!

Jerome Walton and Dwight Smith. Too bad they were only good for one year in the 80's. -

Are you purposely trying to make it sound like they signed 11 FA failures this year? They signed Crawford and traded for Gonzalez. One worked out spectacularly, and one failed spectacularly.
