In History This year

Maybe Beane is trying to play that game where you start with a penny, and go around the neighborhood, trading what you have for something slightly better, until you end up with something enormous. In other words, he'll trade for A-Rod in a couple weeks. -
Are the Brewers going to run away with the Central
bukie replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
They very well could run away with the NL Central. Especially if no other team plays well. -
I have a feeling this could be the biggest blowout final in a long while for the Champions League. Milan definitely remembers 2 years ago, and they likely won't let up, even if they get a 3 goal lead.
-
Has Marquis ever been this good before? EDIT: I mean, even in his supposed "good" years his peripheral stats weren't that good. I wonder how fluky this is.
-
Toronto holds on...barely. Hard to see them winning game 6 in Jersey unless they start playing worlds better.
-
Only so much as "Holy crap, an Illini player actually got drafted?".
-
Apparently not quite optimistic enough. Although the Mavs and Rockets picks are already wrong.
-
Hoping for one of Olsen, Harris, Meacham, Posluszny, or Jarrett to fall to the Bears, at least.
-
With the absurd run on defense, there are plenty of offensive options available. I don't think Cleveland picked Olson, either...
-
Glad that Quinn got to go to his childhood team. Hope that it pans out for him, as he seems like a good kid.
-
If, by some odd reason, Quinn falls to the Bears, I would be ecstatic.
-
Because he went to Notre Dame, and people treat Notre Dame like the Yankees or Lakers.
-
I think if the Raiders want the most sure thing this year out of college, they should just draft Calvin Johnson, trade for/sign a FA QB, draft a project QB in the later rounds, and call it good. EDIT: And for the record, I'm an Illini fan, not a ND fan. This is shaping out to be a fairly boring first couple of hours of the draft for the Bear/Illini fans.

What's the difference? Level of competition makes it easier to get a higher rating in college? The main difference is that there is no upper limit, so a Colt Brennan got something like a 186 rating this year to set the record for highest rating. A league-average rating is basically 79, though. EDIT: Formulas: The college formula is as follows: (100 * Completion %) + (8.4 * Yds per att) + (330 * Td %) - (200 * Int %). Pros is (Completion PCT) + (YPA) + (TD per attempt) + (INT per attempt) divided by 6, times 100. A simplified way to calculate rating is: (83.33 * Comp %) + (4.16667 * Yds per att) + (333.333 * TD pct) - (416.667 * INT pct) + 25/12.

So, 1 fantastic game, 2 great games, a decent game, and 2 bad games against good defenses. Curious what that averages out to overall, but Brady Quinn wasn't the reason ND looked bad in 3 games this year. And, I'd like to think that if Brady Quinn wasn't a Notre Dame QB, he'd be getting a lot less flak around here.

There's a decent Bulls blog at http://www.blogabull.com , but the guy that runs it seems to have a slightly irrational dislike of Nocioni.
-
I have a feeling that Game 3 isn't going to be much fun to watch. Especially if the referees give in to the Wade special.
-
Apples and oranges. The Bulls won 75% of their home games this season. The Cubs won 54% of their home games in 2003. Not to mention the Cubs won game 6 that year. And no amount of logic, reason, "truth", or therapy will ever get me to believe differently.
-
One line summary of this year's Cubs: They're good enough to win handily when they play well, but not good enough to win when they consistently make silly mistakes.
-
With Pie up, and Soriano back, there is no need for Theriot to play OF sub, so Cedeno presumably becomes expendable...if Theriot can play SS well enough. I assume the Cubs will skip Miller's spot next time, and then call up Guzman to start the next.
-
Actually, the Cubs biggest weakness is not having guys on base. True..But this season it seems theyre getting the guys on..But weve sene numerous times theyve had guys on with no outs or 1 and they screw it up somehow and cant score a single freakin run The trouble happens when the Cubs only get runners on 3-4 times a game. A good team with RISP is only knocking them in 1/3 of the time.

Wow, was that pitch too down the middle?
-
Almost like Joe wishes he was out there catching and calling the game.
