    Huh, don't know where I heard otherwise. They improved offensively about the same as the Cubs did over the same period. Remember, back when the Cubs played the Dodgers, there was no healthy Soriano, and Soto was hurting. Also, back in June, Blake DeWitt was hitting the cover off the ball at 3B, so the difference in offense between that and Casey Blake is minimal. The big difference, obviously, is the upgrade from Juan Pierre to Manny Ramirez.

    Except that the Dodgers scored at exactly the same rate on the road as at home, which is weird.

    You think the Tigers wouldn't want to crush the Sox's playoff hopes? I think they would. I think if the Tigers were playing the Sox last week, they'd love to crush the Sox playoff hopes. I think today, the TIgers simply wish the season were already over.

    There is both no reason to discount Hoffpaiur simply because of his age, and no reason to depend on him as a starter next year. He could be good, he could be the next Roosevelt Brown/Jason Dubois.

    I have a hard time imagining the Tigers actually giving a good effort in this game, after such a disappointing season that has them finishing in last place in the Central.

    Gammons picked the Dodgers last night on SportsCenter. It should be a good series. I'm curious, what was his rationale? He likes Derek Lowe and Manny Ramirez. Go figure.

    I look it as the Bears have already played their toughest 3 NFC games of the season, arguably, and went 1-2, disappointingly. They did outplay their opponents in two of the games, though, so considering them a playoff contender isn't much of a stretch at this point.

    NFL Week 4

    bukie replied to ELCABALLO45's topic in Other Sports

    I do find it hilarious, however, that just 3 weeks into the season the Lions had a 0.0% chance of making the playoffs.

    NFL Week 4

    bukie replied to ELCABALLO45's topic in Other Sports

    Interesting, hadn't thought about Baltimore since they've only played two games. Is it safe to assume, though, that according to the data if the Titans beat the Ravens Sunday, they will then be the best team in the AFC? :D Heh, as long as they outplay them while doing it, and look better than Buffalo in the process... ;) After Baltimore/Tennessee/Buffalo there's a huge gap in the AFC to the next "tier". To make you feel better: Even before this week, the Titans had the best odds of any team in the NFL to make the playoffs

    NFL Week 4

    bukie replied to ELCABALLO45's topic in Other Sports

    Actually, statistically to this point (coming into this week), Baltimore has been the best team in the NFL. Granted, that's only with two weeks of statistical data to work with (for them). Top 10 statistically, coming into this week, were Baltimore, New York Giants, Philadelphia, Tennessee, Buffalo, Atlanta, Dallas, Green Bay, San Diego, Pittsburgh The always fun "If the playoffs started today" playoff lineup: NFC: Arizona, Carolina, NY Giants, Green Bay, Washington, Tampa Bay AFC: Buffalo, Baltimore, Tennessee, Denver, Pittsburgh, New England

    The Bears somehow won this week despite getting outplayed overall and giving up 4 turnovers. I like to think of it as somewhat evening out the previous two weeks where the Bears outplayed both teams and lost anyway.

    That was a creative call. At that point, your best friend is the clock, so you call a play that takes as long as possible to run and still leaves the clock running after all is said and done. That play call ate another 5-10 seconds off the clock, so that by the time the Eagles got the ball back, they had maybe 2 plays to work with.

    Err....no. Just no.

    As of right now I hate the automatic stoppage at the 2 minute warning.
  15. bukie
    YES! First down!
  16. bukie
    I'd still run it here, at worst you force them to take their last TO.
  17. bukie
    It's all up to the D to hold them now. Crap.
  18. bukie
    Booker was open and he threw it out of bounds. That he got rid of it was smart, that he threw it away wasn't. Nice to see 3 points here, they needed 7 though. D will need to hold them. Booker wasn't open when he had to throw it. He broke free after the ball was in the air already.

    I'm glad Orton is in there to run a mistake-free offense, though.
  20. bukie
    So, the offense, then...
  21. bukie
    Hester should be benched for not making Akers miss. :P
  22. bukie
    Bears in prime position now to drive for a TD and take a double-digit lead into the 4th...
  23. bukie
    I imagine Akers has the range for a 30 yard FG.
  24. bukie
    Ok, now just somehow cause them to get a 25-yard loss on this play, and the defensive gameplan comes to fruition...

    I think he was trying a swim move on the defensive lineman. Maybe he was confused.
