http://nbadraft.net Claxton at 44 is the only one drafted.
-
He did though. Injuries derailed him, but he had a great fastball and one of the most unhittable splitters in the league. Had he stayed healthy and improved his control a bit, he probably would have been a dominant RP. -
2 guys, 58 minutes, 1 point scored. fixed.
-
That's what I like to see Ben, just keep throwing to the predator.
-
Blasphemer!
-
I don't see how that prevents teams which get out-yarded from losing.
-
Then the only other alternative is to hand the national championship to the preseason #1, i.e. the most talented team in the nation.
-
Sea, Jax, NYG, SD While the "Playoffs?!?" quote gets more play, but I prefer his "We didn't do diddly-poo" line, what a hilarious classic.

It's not the overarching sole goal for managers. If you're down 5-0 after the first inning, the coach generally brings in the long men to save the bullpen for later in the series. The Packers don't put Aaron Rodgers in the game to save Favre's arm, if they're down 17-0 after the first quarter. Game one of the playoff series is another example of this. If winning that game alone was the sole objective, Zambrano pitches 9 innings. Starters get days of rest in baseball when not injured. This really shouldn't be that hard to understand. If you actually read what I said and understood it as this thought, then your reading comprehension is dismal.

No, the two are simply not comparable. Winning singular games isn't the sole priority in baseball, not by a longshot. In football, it is.
-
Amazing that they're outweighed 40 lbs a player, playing in the 3-3-5 and still can't run the ball.
-
The Angels need pitching? They refused to part ways with Adenhart in a Miguel Cabrera deal, I doubt they'll give him up for Bedard.
-
great rebuttal.
-
The added probability for players injury makes it an unlikelihood that they'll do this more than a couple times in a season. The NHL director of ice maintenance was at that game to ensure there weren't any divets the players would get caught on.

If a team is outgaining the other team by a huge margin in yardage, but still loses, then they likely lost the game due to TOs, bad special teams play, terrible execution in the red zone. These are all factors in a football game that you cannot overlook. The baseball and football situations are certainly not analogous, as run/hit differential will show you a truer representation of how the team should perform over the long haul rather than how the team played that particular game, whereas in football "you play to win the game.". It takes 2 losses to dash your national championship goals. What matters in the end is execution. Nothing else. You just cited my exception as your example. As I said, the only time a team performs better and loses is due to missed calls by the officials. That's really the only thing they can't control.
-
this is asinine. aside from blatantly botched calls by referees, the team who plays better as a rule wins out in football. outgaining a team 500 yards to 100 is meaningless if you can't execute that yardage into scores. USC was outplayed the two Saturdays they were beaten. they're the best team in the nation because losses caused them to be outplayed, but the games were not indicative of their true talent level. football is in no way comparable to baseball for this concept.
-
Wow, did Tebow look bad that series.
-
While the announcers have expended every breath talking about Crosby, Evgeni Malkin is a fantastic player in his own right. It's a shame he's not on a team where he can be recognized as the true franchise player he is, instead of being so overshadowed.
-
The game has also been so fast-paced. What a fun game this has been to watch so far.
-
The Pens-Sabres game is really something to watch.
-
The Bulls gave 75 minutes of floor time this game to two players who totaled 3 points.
-
What's the batting order look like now?

Swap Fukudome and Ramirez in the first lineup, and you've got the winner. -
Young was also a multi-year national star in college. Most QBs are going to suck when their best receiving target is Roydell Williams. And he's a natual fit for Madden, when so many of the people who play it prefer to use teams with a running QB. That's a huge reason why Vick was so popular. Just about everybody I played against had the Falcons as their team of choice so they could run around with Vick all game. And now Young is becoming the player of choice most people like to use.
-
Just because Vince Young isn't an elite QB doesn't mean he's not one of the most marketable QBs in the game. In large part, he's filling Vick's shoes.
-
I still can't forgive the Ravens for their meltdown. That game was sign, sealed, delivered.
