Sorry, should have stated "Minimum 1000 IP, 100 career decisions"
-
Which 5 active pitchers are currently among the top 10 overall in career K/BB ratio?
-
If the Chargers and Giants make the Super Bowl, I guarantee 90% of the angle will be "Manning vs. Rivers - Which team made the right draft choice?"

Just a thought here... I understand the desire to splinter off traffic for basketball and football into their own sites, both for overall bandwidth savings and topical discussion. However, it can be very inconvenient for the end user to be forced to three different and separate locations for discussions about sports among what is really one community. So, I would suggest combining NSBB, WCFB, SCH into one all-encompassing "North Side Sports" site, and having a master forum for everything. This would allow a single Social/Rants forum, and then forums for NSBB (Cubs discussion, Other teams discussion, Baseball Game Threads, Minor League Baseball, College/High School Baseball, MLB Transactions), WCFB (Bears discussion, Other teams discussion, Football Game Threads, NFL Transactions/Draft, College/High School Football), SCH (Bulls' discussion, other teams' discussion, Basketball Game Threads, NBA Transactions/Draft, College/High School Basketball), and a "General Board stuff" of Social, Rants, Polls, Suggestions, Announcements/Rules/FAQ, and Events. This kind of thing could even be split up between current locations, as long as it's "invisible" to the end user. I just think it would work better than trying to create three separate communities of discussion out of what really is one community of people.

The NFL Draft Thread (Formerly Early Entries for NFL Draft)

Here's a mock draft that at least picks in the right order: http://walterfootball.com/draft2008.php Although it still has the Bears drafting a QB....sigh. -
The NFL Draft Thread (Formerly Early Entries for NFL Draft)
bukie replied to soccer10k's topic in Other Sports
That mock draft doesn't even have the correct order of draftees, as the Bears draft 14th, not 12th. If they reach on a QB in the first round with all the other more important holes they need to address, it'll be a catastrophe. -
Quick, figure out the 6 teams. I'd venture a guess of Detroit, Arizona, Houston, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Kansas City? I think Arizona beat the Cowboys in the '97 playoffs. I don't really remember though. The TO press conference at the end of the game was very suprising. I am actually starting to really like the guy, and can't believe the complete 360 he has conducted. So they did. Turns out Buffalo is the other team, thanks to the Music City Miracle.

0-4 last week going with opposites. I'll do the same this week with Jacksonville, San Diego, New York and Seattle. Wouldn't that be the most boring final 4 in years.
-
He's like the Jim Rice of the 80's. With a worse OBP.
-
I'm not sure how that is projecting the pitching to regress, as it is predicting 8 bullpen arms better than the league average. Marmol will almost certainly regress, because it's hard to expect him to repeat his year last year. Back end of the rotation is a concern, though.
-
Must have been something like that. Well here's one stat for Bly that we CAN verify: He has as many career shutouts as Glavine and Maddog COMBINED. It's a different era of pitching to be sure, but Blyleven had more career shutouts than the entire league did last year.
-
Last piece of Blyleven support, as it's already too late again for this year: http://espn.go.com/mlb/s/2002/0728/1411078.html Yes, he was a better pitcher than Nolan Ryan. Second-best pitcher of his era, of which 8 pitchers are in the HOF.
-
Yes, I understand. I'm not standing by the authenticity of the guy's statement, it's just what I heard. Absolutely, not tearing into you, just trying to find some semblance of a backing for the position.
-
Blyleven had 60 career shutouts. Got to figure he won some of those.
-
At least I got one prediction right.
-
Worst Hall of Fame arguments of 2008: http://vegaswatch.net/2007/12/worst-hall-of-fame-arguments-of-2008.html Yes, folks, those are actual BBWAA voters making those arguments.
-
Blyleven deserves more love than he gets. Raines too. Gossage was borderline, but him getting in is nice.
-
Haha, ridiculous. What is so ridiculous? They cannot compete year in and year out. Neither can Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Purdue, Miami, Notre Dame, Maryland, Wake Forest, NC, NC State, Duke, Syracuse, Iowa State, Baylor, Nebraska, Vanderbilt, Mississippi, Stanford, Washington, Washington State, South Carolina, UCLA, Cal. Yes, at that rate, we should just limit Division 1 to Ohio State, Michigan, USC, LSU, Florida, Oklahoma, Texas, West Virginia, Florida State and Virginia Tech, let those 10 teams play in a season, and crown that division winner the national champions.
-
So, clearly the least popular outcome is: Pittsburgh Tennessee Tampa Bay Washington So, I'll go with that.
-
Haha, ridiculous. What is so ridiculous? They cannot compete year in and year out. How long has South Florida been Division 1? 7 years? And they are already competing this year. Louisville competed the prior 2 years, Cincinnati and UConn were top 25 teams this year, and Rutgers was top 10 last year. So yes, ridiculous. EDIT: Also not sure in which world the ACC has 9 schools.

If I'm in charge and L/R is a priority (for who knows what reason): Pie Lee Kosuke Ramirez Soriano Soto DeRosa Cedeno or Soriano Lee Kosuke Ramirez Soto Pie DeRosa Cedeno

Not sure anything really needs to be said about the game. It was still a winnable game until late in the third quarter, and the combination of the fumble on the goal line and the botched lateral that went for 55 yards really killed the momentum the Illini had. I expect Mendenhall will go pro and Leman is graduating, but beyond that most of the team is returning (at least the contributing members), so I would expect them to remain in the hunt for the Big Ten title next year. I really wished Illinois would've scored on that pass play with the fumble to make it 21-17, if only to wipe the smug looks off the USC sidelines. What a load of classless fools, and that kind of thing, team-wide, reflects on the coach.
-
Honest question: Are DBs in college not allowed to make a play on the ball? Sure there was contact, but he was just looking at the ball. USC taunting again because of a fluke botched lateral that went for 55 yards.
