  1. If the Cubs don't score some runs here I'm going to watch tonight's episodes of Becker on WGN. You really don't want that hanging over your head do you guys?
  2. Our yards per attempt numbers are always anemic.
  3. I think Howry's new first name is "The Struggling Bob."
  4. Lots of bad swings from DeRo tonight.
  5. Jeremy "Carlos Lee" Hermida scares me here.
  6. then you're on 700 not 720 I'm on 720, and it slowly fades in. I just adjusted it now, and I can hear Pat and Ron, but in about a few minutes, I'm going to hear Marty again until his voice overtakes Pat's and I'll have to fidget with the tuner knob again. Sometimes frequencies will bleed when they are relatively close together, depending a various things. Happens more at night because there's alot more atmospheric bounce after the sun goes down. I was under the impression that there was less atmospheric bounce at night. I can certainly hear AM stations further from the source at night.
  7. We need to beat this Florida team once & for all. Especially since there's an actual chance the Brewers won't sweep this weekend. The Dodgers have a scary lineup now, especially if Nomar can produce. I wouldn't say scary. I would say "perhaps good enough given an excellent pitching staff."
  8. Hey a contusion is just another name for a bruise right??
  9. I'm not sure how they calculate Georgia's SoS, but it looks as if the non-D1 opponent isn't even factored in, which should lower theirs. The Pac-10 teams are playing some ridiculous schedules this year, though. It's funny how a team can play Blindnun U and not be punished for it. No way is there schedule harder than USC's. The SEC has this down to a science. they play at arizona state and then their regular rivalry of georgia tech. that is not a cupcake out of conference schedule. and the SEC is deeper in terms of top 20 teams than the pac 10. I think there's a perception that beating a midtier OOC BCS school is the same as waxing the Citadel or La. Tech and that schedules should be ranked only by the "hard" (e.g. top 25 opponents) teams on the schedule. For years, the SEC would load up on absolute cupcakes in the first month of the season so by the time conference play came around you'd have lots of 4-0/4-0 type matchups and wins became more valuable and losses less damaging in the eyes of the pollsters. It's a beautiful self fulfilling prophecy. But Texas Tech has to take the cake for biggest joke schedule of the year: Eastern Washington, @ Nevada, Southern Methodist, and UMass.

I usually give SEC teams crap for their bevy of directional Louisiana schools, Sun Belt also-rans, and 1AA cupcakes but I have to give Georgia props. That schedule is definitely no joke. But keep in mind that this is UGA's first OOC game west of the Mississippi since 1960.
  11. Put me in the "it doesn't matter at this point if the Bears won't name a leader in the QB race if no one has distanced himself from the other" camp. It's still early in training camp and no one is going to get their feelings hurt...I'm sure both probably know they haven't shown enough to be named the starter at this point. But mainly it doesn't matter because neither one is any good.
  12. those first two pitches Marquis threw to Pence that he swung and missed on were absolute cheese really lucky he somehow totally whiffed
  13. I wonder if cancer has made Sutcliffe say "Screw it, I'm going to unashamedly hit on Erin Andrews on air from now on."
