    also see: wrestling It's insane how good the B1G is at wrestling. There was a point a couple years ago where 10 of the 11 schools were ranked (I think MSU was the exception).

    I'm going to West Point for the NU-Army game. Can't wait to check out Michie Stadium...

    Simmons already saying the Bears got lucky on Sunday.

    Don't forget that brutal touchback call. Saints should have started on their own 1 for that last drive. It was the right call -- your momentum can't take you into the EZ. (Per Mike Perreia). Anybody who whined about that call should have their football fan card revoked. It's not a pass reception in college where you just have to get one foot down. He went into the endzone. Also, it wasn't reviewed. Very few egregious calls fail to get reviewed within 2 minutes. On opening night, no less.

    don't Andy Roddick? Sry, wrong thread :)

    A-Rod just has way too much time.

    On a serious note, how did they leave out Robinson and Duncan?
  11. ConstableRabbit
    I think that poster works at the B1G.

    Link?

    TCU ranked and Baylor unranked is insane.

    John Clayton ranks Cutler below Flacco, Schaub, Freeman, Bradford, Cassel and 16th overall -- LOL. http://espn.go.com/nfl/preview11/story/_/id/6898795/from-tom-brady-andy-dalton-espn-john-clayton-ranks-nfl-starting-qbs

    And also, you cannot pick your own assistant, you must use Jim's old one. I know it sounds silly, but this isn't an uncommon practice in the business world, especially when dealing with an executive admin/assistant who has been with the company for a long time or who has a lot of responsibilities (it sounds like this person has one of those). There are significant monetary and productivity costs associated with firing good and/or knowledgeable employees.

    I actually like Old Style on draft. It's part of the experience for me.

    Nomo had a ridiculous rookie campaign, but he never came close to replicating that success and ended up with a career ERA+ under 100. Kuroda is one I missed -- will be interested in seeing how his career ends up.

    Darvish is intriguing, but can anyone name one Asian starter who has had sustained success in the majors? I feel like they AAAA hitters they face can't hit their soft breaking stuff and they end up having some gimmick -- relievers have been more effective but I think that has to do with facing less hitters and it taking longer to figure out their stuff.

    If that's the case, we should be able to compare the number of really bad starts Zambrano has compared to other pitchers in some way, and see if it's really out of line. That's a lot more involved than just saying "He had some really bad starts, so let's not count those." 40.5% of Dempster's earned runs allowed came in 6 of his 26 starts 62.7% of Garza's earned runs allowed came in 7 of his 24 starts 50% of Zambrano's earned runs allowed came in 6 of his 24 starts I'm sure if we looked at all the more or less reliable pitchers in the league, you'd see most of them fall into the same "boom or bust" pattern. 10% more in the same number of starts is a huge difference between Demp and Z. and Garza has an ERA a full point lower than Z. I think you reinforced my point. and again, I'm not saying the original statement was true...I'm saying IF its true, its relevant. Also those percentages mean very little (to this particular discussion) as Demp may have surrendered 7 runs in 6 innings and Z 7 runs in 3 innings. Again I'm not arguing the numbers, just the logic. IF it is true, its relevant. Bring on the histogram!

    Of course, we now know the real motivation for that speech was a $5k bonus from Shapiro for playing hurt in the second half.

    'We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, but it's hard to imagine that happening.'

    Is that a list of who you want or who you think it is gonna be because I wouldn't want most of them. Phillips was a terrible GM. With his penchant for terrible contracts he'd be Hendry-lite. Ed Wade did ok setting the Phils up in the early 00's but the Astros are total bottom feeders under him. Littlefield was a bafoon with the Pirates. MacPhail and Ric would be acceptable. biggest whoosh ever? Apparently so. Maybe you should let me in on what's funny. He's saying we should get one of the GMs that NSBB posters think are awful and always make fun of.
