  1. right off the top of my head there's Larry Johnson for sure as a stud player you can build around and for the Lions, there's...
  2. I'm trying to think of the highest point the Lions have achieved since I moved here maybe making it to the playoffs that one time in the early 90s to get utterly obliterated
  3. you guys try to imagine what it's like to watch this team every week
  4. every KyleJRM post just drips with melodrama worse than you'd find in a political commercial
  5. so everybody who had good years will regress, and the players who underperformed won't improve? is this just a gut feeling, cynicism, or is there a methodology to your far-fetched reasoning?
  6. the guy with 66% of the team's RBIs?
  7. i hope we face a team with lots of lhp like it or not, Hendry's probably REALLY going to amp up his efforts this offseason to find an impact LH bat too bad he missed the boat on Kazuo!
  8. I'm curious what the attendance figures looked like when Peavy pitched and when anyone not named Peavy pitched. 29,076 - Not Jake Peavy 34,245 - Jake Peavy This season only. wow that's probably somewhere in the range of $3m a year he makes the team just on tickets alone 70,000 tickets over the course of the season. id say the price is about 20 bucks on average, considering most of the good ones were probably bought in the other games too. So about 1.4m you're right, i neglected to remember road starts
  9. well we'll surely be a favorite to take the division, making the playoffs again where anything's possible, unless we've all changed our minds that playoffs aren't a crapshoot anymore
  10. Furcal & Lowe, let Demp walk i know it looks knee jerk, but i would have said the same before the series. oh, and START PIE
  11. i don't know about you but i'm already excited for 09!
  12. This is undoubtedly true. The fact that Lee has hit like Jeromy Burnitz over the second half of the season doesn't help. LOL at stranding Soto on 3rd. completely hamstrung us to the tun of 97 regular season wins with the same lineup we are not the first favored team to lose in the playoffs, guys Reading is fundamental. The theory is that you face more good right-handed pitching in the playoffs, and good right-handed pitching has advantage over good right-handed batting. "we are not the first favored team to lose in the playoffs, guys" We're the first ones in a while to have a playoff losing streak of 9 (Red Sox before the 90s, I think, hit 11). And again: We aren't just losing, we are getting annihilated. The reason good teams lose a lot is that sometimes your runs just are scored optimally and you win a game by 4 and lose two by one each. That's not happening here. They are getting utterly and completely destroyed every single game. i'd like to see what our record was against good rhp this season before i believe it. it sounds like something someone would make up without checking out the numbers because it sounds right. .793 ops vs rhp .807 vs lhp
  13. seriously, you believe in a curse? I believe in an organizational effect of some kind that causes the Cubs to play worse in the playoffs. Getting the wrong types of players, the field, the day games, the pressure? I don't know, but it's something. We're up to being outscored 56-18 in the last 9 playoff games. what were they in the 9 before that that was a different curse he's talking about the Bartman curse now i think I'm not talking about any "curse" in a real sense. I'm simply saying that over even a short sample, it's unthinkable for a good team to be getting beat *this* badly without some sort of effect. yeah maybe Lou's poisoning everybody

  15. I was gonna do it but didn't want to have a big annoying animated sig. anybodys who annoyed by that hilarity doesnt deserve to live
  16. haha i love Joe morgan i really do
  17. how could you forget Kyle Sleeth and Matt Anderson?
