  1. letting Magglio's option kick in was indescribably incompetent maybe the worst personnel move made by any team since the Vernon Wells extension
  2. even worse than the perils of rushing Castro, we'd probably have mediocre production wasting a good year or two of cheap service time from him, to have him hit FA at 26 before his prime
  3. halo effect Franklin Gutierrez is just a terrible omission by the voters, though
  4. Yep, that's what I meant by that. You're right on the money. well what did you mean with your "fantastic." remark, "woe is me i can't ever have nice things"? let me go get some syrup for your pancakes, or whatever the adage is
  5. there go the super bowl hopes
  6. (not directed at you personally, but also of note)Jairus Byrd and Darren Sharper have caught more passes than Darrius Heyward-Bey on the season
  7. i was talking more about set WR screens, especially with big WRs like Ogletree and Williams
  8. and that opens the inside run, exactly what you want
  9. well yeah, it has to fit the personnel, but the good teams run them flawlessly
  10. i don't know why teams don't run screen passes a lot more than they do
  11. i don't see what's so surprising they were losing by 17 points to a team over which they were favored by 10 points. the lions have a habit of coming out looking great for a quarter or two before playing to their talent level man, olindo mare looks exactly like johnny from the wire
  12. i don't see what's so surprising
  13. i've got battered wife syndrome with gomez, he's too toolsy for me to give up on
  14. i like Hermida a little, but i get an ulcer when i see people stupidly continue to pore over home-road splits like they mean anything they were dead wrong about holliday and they were dead wrong about khalil greene, the two most glaring examples of h-r discrepancy
  15. here i was about to say kaz matsui and then i see his 14:93 ratio as a 20 y.o. in Japan, i give up
  16. for Castro's floor, i'm trying to think of highly touted prospects with decent enough plate disc who never much grew into power or had other developmental problems, like Cabrera, Rivas or Guzman but none of those guys had success with the bat in the minors like Castro's past season
  17. they're really going to regret that extension, it might cost them Savard Mason should be better now with the return of vastly underrated Jan Hejda
  18. i'll admit it, i actually kinda like favre
  19. you're really saying it's cleaner to lead with your shoulder into somebody's head than a forearm to somebody's chest?
  20. in the end, Wisniewski sits 2 for a much cleaner hit than Richards'- you had your cynical scenarios reversed
  21. i watched their meltdown against Pittsburgh, not pretty Mason had a few pretty bad miscues that cost them a point in that one, he's not where he was last year at all
  22. fantasysensehockey.net usually does a hilarious skewering for each of Eagleson's articles, she's pretty terrible Injuries and the disappearance of Datsyuk. I have a bad feeling that this may end up spiralling down. The upside is they should be healthy at playoff time and Franzen will not have the olympic grind to go through. I just hope they make the playoffs yeesh, in a very short time they go from Draper being maybe the best 4th line C in the game to one of the worst 2nd line C in recent memory
  23. not only that, but what about Garrard on MJD's 79-yard run http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/09000d5d813def9d/WK-8-Maurice-Jones-Drew-highlights i don't think i've ever seen a QB be the lead blocker escorting a RB on a long run like that before, unreal
  24. i really like lions offensive strategy- stafford throws a pick in the end zone and the defender steps out of bounds trying to avoid a tackle, for a safety
