I'm pretty sure my team is the least scary playoff team...but I have grit in spades!
-
Heh, if only HFA meant something in RK. You say that, but somehow my team managed to go 10-1 at home and 3-6-1 on the road. :) (yes, I know it's still meaningless)
-
Picked up Macdougal and dropped Qualls because apparently Qualls injured himself recording the last out yesterday.
-
It's simplified if you win this week, Navin. Then you face Tim for sure. Hey, if you beat him by 60, you'd even finish second in the standings. :)

2009 Chicago Bears Preseason Thread - A new era begins
bukie replied to David's topic in Other Sports
I don't know McDaniels personally, of course, but he certainly comes off like kind of a pompous prick in interviews. I don't understand media pundits that put the whole Cutler trade on Cutler being a crybaby. -
At this point, I can't imagine the Chargers not winning the AFC West. Unless the whole division goes 4-12 or something.

2009 Chicago Bears Preseason Thread - A new era begins

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/norman_chad/08/30/couch.slouch/index.html?eref=T1 BTW...this article is by Norman Chad, of WSoP announcer fame. I never thought I'd see a more poorly used stat than W-L for pitchers, but here we are. -
Well, this is it. All that's left to decide is how the West is won: The Fighting Manginos at NC Cubs Severe Tooterstorms at The Eyes of Texas Galesburg Hand Sanitizers at Harrys Budcrew Quakers at Lynx Valenzuela's Screwballs at Tootielicious Northside Baseball at Alamo Stealth Saber Metrics at Fuzzy Logistics Tampa Bay Rays at Raw Dawgs

If only Pie had shown some sort of history of slow starts when adjusting to new leagues...
-
That leaves one last playoff spot to be determined by Jair Jurrjens.
-
I'd really like to see Theriot moved out of the leadoff spot for Fukudome. Sure, the 5 spot becomes weak, but there are infinitely more scoring chances at the top of the order.

Phil Rogers is an idiot (well you already knew that)

Because they're not paid to provide insight, they're paid to make people read, even if they're angry readers. Best course of action would be to pay as little attention as possible to it. -
Patrick Kane arrested on felony fighting charge in Buffalo
bukie replied to cubstitlelives's topic in Other Sports
I think the Cubs have enough to worry about without being concerned about the Patrick Kane ordeal. -
If Cutler could back it up the Broncos would have been in the playoffs last year. Wait...you don't honestly believe that, do you?
-
SF's lineup with Sandoval out is abysmal. I regret that trade now that Zimmermann had TJ. I regret nothing! :)
-
On the spectrum of possible GMs, Stone and Ned are quite close and every one between them would suck as much as they do. And the rest of that idea (which I assume was from one of the radio guys) is stupid. I remember the year Detroit did something like that, bring up a bunch of ex-Tigers to manage the team to put a pretty face on the disappointing team they ran out. That team even managed to win 5 of their last 6 games to avoid setting a record in futility.

Garrett Jones in for Ichiro, who gets to be my OF out for this week with a calf strain.

Said it before and I'll say it again: Derek Jeter is not the best baseball player in King's life time (innumerable, but let's just start with Mays, Aaron, Mantle). Derek Jeter is not the best baseball player in King's adult life time (let's say since the 70's...Morgan, Schmidt, Yount, Brett, Ripken). Derek Jeter is not the best baseball player among current players (Pujols, Hanley Ramirez, Utley, Fielder, Dunn). Derek Jeter is not the best baseball player among current AL players (Mauer, Morneau, Cabrera). Derek Jeter is not the best baseball player in his division (Youkilis, Bay, Crawford). Derek Jeter is not the best baseball player on his team (Teixeira, Rodriguez). Derek Jeter is not the best candidate for SS on his team (Rodriguez). Now, it could be argued that he's currently the best SS in his division, but Bartlett and Scutaro are right there with him this year.
-
I'm not even sure Jeter is the best Yankee SS currently on the team.

The Memphis situation looks more like a UMass than a Gonzaga to me, though.
-
Memphis is high profile? If Calipari stayed and he had his army of paid 18 year olds there instead of Lexington, the NCAA would've found no wrong-doing. With Calipari gone and Memphis's program an afterthought they were able to actually do something(however pointless it may be) Yes, Memphis is high profile. Three straight elite 8's and a sweet 16 is fairly good. And they'll probably return to the tournament again next year. I don't really even see an argument as to whether Memphis is considered high profile or not. You mean, 2 straight elite eights and a sweet 16.
-
John Calipari is now the first coach in history to have a Final Four appearance vacated at two different schools: http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/story/12087903

NC Cubs at Raw Dawgs Saber Metrics at The Eyes of Texas Valenzuela's Screwballs at Harrys Budcrew Northside Baseball at Quakers Galesburg Hand Sanitizers at Tootielicious Alamo Stealth at Lynx Severe Tooterstorms at Fuzzy Logistics The Fighting Manginos at Tampa Bay Rays Since Raw and Lynx still aren't technically eliminated, that makes 4 matchups this week between teams with playoff aspirations.

Honestly, I understand why Hendry gave Soriano the contract he did. His job was in jeopardy, and he had to do something drastic after 2006 to change perceptions. Soriano wanted a long term deal and nothing else, and Hendry made darn well sure he got him.
