I'm pretty sure I finished with more points, too. My team wasn't the best team all year, it was just the most clutch. :)
-
I vote it doesn't count either, because potentially someone could pick up as many position players from the Tigers/Twins as were available just for the one day.
-
I'd like to officially change my title to David Aardsma's #1 fan. :) EDIT: And Pablo Sandoval puts it away with a 10th inning HR! Woo, go crazy!

Week 4 - Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions, 12 PM FOX

Way to give the defense a breather, Knox. -
I still think my team is toast. Too many guys took the week off, and I picked the wrong starts (freaking Masterson). I'm half tempted to start Masterson against the Red Sox tomorrow, because I don't even think Davis will be able to get the Cubs out.

It's only LOL if you're an Obama sycophant that can't admit when mistakes are made. It's the US president doing something unprecedented and getting egg on his face. It doesn't reflect poorly on him as a person, but it's a miscalculation by the White House and a waste of political capital. i think it's just unprecedented because the olympics have become massive business and now heads of state attend all the time. plus he's from chicago and there was extra pressure on him to attend; if he didn't go and chicago was voted out on the first ballot people (republican) would bitch that the city's most famous son wouldn't even take a day out of his schedule to support his city, while the other heads of state supported their nation, and the slight cost america the games. Yeah, I think the only way the whole situation doesn't spin negatively on Obama in some way would have been if he didn't go and Chicago won the bid anyway.

Um...so when the QB is really good, the team wins? I'm gonna guess that goes for most QB's...and even if not, like I think we've all said before, using W-L record is a stupid evaluation tool...what a worthless stat. This is Peter King, the man who continues to argue that Derek Jeter is the best baseball player of his lifetime. Abandon all logic and reason, ye who enter there. -
Any chance Jermaine Jones gets a call for the last qualifier, or some kind of action for the USMNT prior to the World Cup?
-
162 games in a season / 3 games in an average series = 54 "series" in a year. The season is not a set of 51 series, and in no way must there be an odd number of series in a year.
-
Masterson useless for weeks, then throws a 12K CG gem against the White Sox. I just don't know anymore.
-
And it will be v: GOALKEEPERS: Noel Valladares, Donis Escober, Ricardo Canales DEFENDERS: Víctor Bernárdez (Anderlecht), Osman Chávez, Maynor Figueroa (Wigan), Boniek García, Emilio Izaguirre, Erick Norales, Carlos Palacios, Mauricio Sabillón. MIDFIELDERS: Edgard Álvarez (Bari), Julio César León (Parma), Ramón Núñez, Amado Guevara (Toronto FC), Wilson Palacios (Tottenham), Hendry Thomas (Wigan), Danilo Turcios, Melvin Valladares. FORWARDS: Carlos Pavón, Carlo Costly, Walter Martínez, Jerry Palacios y David Suazo (Inter Milan). First thought: What is the US doing sending a bunch of players I never heard of down for a crucial tie with Honduras? Second thought: Man, I really need to get some more sleep.

Theriot started the night with a success rate of 75% That is a lot higher than I assumed it would be, but I do wish they kept stats like "steal attempts where the throw beat him easily but got away, thus crediting him with a steal". :) Yeah, and I wish there was a distinction between real steal attempts and hit and runs, too. That too, and I have a feeling that's a good part of the reason the Cubs on the whole have been so poor a SB%. Lou likes his hit and runs, especially with 2 strikes.

Is there a base stealer with a worse success rate and a similar number of attempts as Theriot?
-
Is it just me, or are there an inordinate number of really bad teams this year? It's only been 3 weeks, and it's already time to write off 1/4 of the league. Browns, Bucs, Chiefs, Raiders, Redskins, Rams, Lions, Panthers, Dolphins and Jags are basically already dead in the water. And I haven't even mentioned all the 0-3 teams, because I think the Titans can still turn it around.

Week 4 - Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions, 12 PM FOX
bukie replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
DVOA (well, VOA right now, since opponent adjustments don't kick in until next week) isn't very kind to the Bears either, mostly getting them on their overall offensive production (since the running game has never been good, and the passing game was good twice and awful once, putting it average overall). -
Nope Vikings had a bye that week.

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/09000d5d812f7400/Bears-25-Seahawks-19 I still love Joniak. -
This is the first time all 4 NFC North teams won in the same week since 2005, week 10.
-
and i laugh at anyone who thinks a quarterback with a 22:22 TD:INT ratio and no running ability is good. what suggests that he is a good player? leadership? intangibles? The legend that is John Madden.
-
In a really weird series of coincidences, this week for me makes it 12-1 at "home" and 3-7-1 on the "road".

awful waffle almost gets the pick -
Cubs win again. At this point, it'd be kind of nice to have those two weekend walkoff losses back.
-
I don't really care either way, except I would've sat Masterson if I had thought of it, which really is my own fault for not being creative.
-
I was under the assumption of 7 per week, myself.
