  1. What are you basing that on? Fergie put up some pretty sick numbers from 67-72.
  2. Homer... Final 4: Iowa Memphis UConn Florida Elite 8: Duke Gonzaga Tennessee Villanova
  3. Hmm, Corey's not good enough to keep around, so let's acquire the guy who is slated to back him up on his new team. We could get rid of one of our top offensive performers in order to land him. I doubt it would eventually lead to a scenario where we see less Murton and more Neifi.
  4. If Vance took that approach, DLEE would havebeen riding the all-star bench. Get back in there!! Fine, I just sent 5 more. I'll try to do more later.
  5. Fergie was more than W's and IP's. He was ERAs around 3 and WHIPs around 1.05 with nearly 300 Ks. Fergie was pretty damn dominating for a few years.
  6. You better not be talking to me, I've already voted at least 5 times.
  7. http://www.tvparty.com/vgifs13/jjgoodtimes.jpg
  8. They have the easiest draw in the Tournament. I think they get to the Final 4 and lose in the Semis. I would say Memphis has the easiest draw. Duke has Texas, Iowa, LSU, Syracuse (?), West Virginia, etc.
  9. Not yet IMO. To be elite you have to deliver 18+ wins on a consistent basis and Z's best to date is 16. He can't blow easy Ws like in last season's opener. Yes, I was heartbroken when we lost that game.
  10. Slow down with the new threads. Can't you combine your thoughts on the pitching staff?
  11. Apparently he needs more wins.
  12. I love baseball, plain and simple. If the Cubs won 60 games year in and year out, it would have no impact on my love of the game. I'd kill for a WS win, but I definitely wouldn't stop watching if they came up short yet again. The Cubs are such a small, meaningless part of the grand scheme. Why put so much into them only to be so devastated when they fail?
  13. Didn't he sleep with Suzanne Dorn right before that 1-game playoff?
  14. How about Pierre for Figgins?
  15. I was confused by that, but thinking it through, if Japan were to beat Mexico tonight and Korea tomorrow (and the U.S. beats Mexico Thursday) you'd have a 3-way 2W-1L tie with this scenario: Japan beat Korea, Japan would advance. Korea beat the U.S., Korea would advance. The U.S. beat Japan, the U.S. would advance. So you'd move to the second tiebreaker, which is * The tied teams shall be ranked in the standings for that Round according to fewest runs allowed divided by the number of innings (including partial innings) played in defense in the games in that Round between the teams tied. The U.S. has already given up 10 runs vs. Japan and Korea. So it would be best for the U.S. if Mexico were to win tonight, then lose Thursday to the U.S. If Japan beats Mexico but loses to Korea ... and if the U.S. loses to Mexico ... then it would seem to get very interesting: Korea: 3-0 advances Japan: 1-2 (losses to Korea, US) runs allowed to U.S.: 4 Mexico: 1-2 (losses to Korea, Japan) U.S.: 1-2 (losses to Korea, Mexico) runs allowed to Japan: 3 Think that call vs Japan might get even more scrutiny then? My brain hurts.
  16. I became sold on the WBC after sitting with thousands of Venezuelans down in Orlando last week. The atmosphere around the park was absolutely amazing and rivaled many MLB games I have attended. I still wish it was being played following the WS, but I'll take competitive baseball anytime anywhere.
  17. Is he usually rusty in ST? I can't remember. I think he was notoriously a slow starter in SF. Yes 2-7, 7.52 ERA, 12.34 H/9, 3.47 BB/9, 1.76 WHIP
  18. It works in high school, not the majors. It'd work against the Cubs. in consecutive innings.
  19. Yes, they do. Tommy Lasorda was even on hand to throw out the first pitch.
  20. GIS for "GIS": http://www.gis.com/whatisgis/graphics/mainpage.jpg
  21. More like Venezuela photos with one of Mike Piazza... http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c263/mgoedken/DSCF3007.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c263/mgoedken/DSCF3006.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c263/mgoedken/DSCF2963.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c263/mgoedken/DSCF2964.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c263/mgoedken/DSCF2970.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c263/mgoedken/DSCF2973.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c263/mgoedken/DSCF2980.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c263/mgoedken/DSCF2988.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c263/mgoedken/DSCF2990.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c263/mgoedken/DSCF3004.jpg
  22. I drove by the WWS complex here in Orlando earlier today, and I'm growing more and more excited over watching a game or two this week. That, and I've started seeing some of the WBC jerseys floating around. I still hate the idea of it happening in March, but I NEED BASEBALL!
  23. Someone in my league dropped Felix Hernandez in favor of Aaron Small!?!? So, I'm in the process of picking up King Felix for that Lopez character.
  24. He'll be fine as long as the keyboard stays together. Funny you should say that..... my [backspace] key came loose earlier today !! Judges??? OK, we'll give you another shot.
