  1. I agree with Lyons, how is he supposed to know Jimenez isn't going to throw the ball? Go after him. Tigers up 2-0 early.
  2. Weis is also on ESPNEWS at 5:50. He's promoting his new book. He said in his press conference on Tuesday that he didn't want to write a book, but heard from his agent how much money he could raise for Hannah & Friends (a foundation he set up to create a community for developmentally disabled children and adults, inspired by his daughter who has such a disorder), and his wife and son talked him into it.
  3. If this were ND we'd probably still be talking about this in 4 pages, but I expect mine to be one of the last comments made about this. :lol: Go Penn State!
  4. My picks: TAMPA BAY (+5.5) over Cincinnati ATLANTA (-3) over NY Giants Tennessee (+10.5) over WASHINGTON DALLAS (-13) over Houston Carolina (+3) over BALTIMORE DETROIT (+1) over Buffalo ST. LOUIS (+3) over Seattle Philadelphia (-3) over NEW ORLEANS Miami (+2.5) over NY JETS PITTSBURGH (-7) over Kansas City San Diego (-10) over SAN FRANCISCO DENVER (-15) over Oakland Chicago (-10.5) over ARIZONA (largest road favorite I've ever seen)
  5. Other teams don't want our used trash? Egads!
  6. I'm not surprised at all that a random conversation about juco baseball broke out during a game of this amazing theater.
  7. WTF? Why would he assume that Girardi = rebuilding? Why would anyone assume that? Assume that you're Jim Hendry and are completely incapable of understanding more than two things at once. Wouldn't you think that "15 million dollar payroll" + "competing for the playoffs into late September" would not make Girardi a rebuilding type candidate? And Piniella couldn't get a 70-win team out of his last job. How is he a "win now" candidate? Damn it if we hire Lou that is the most asinine reasoning I've ever heard.
  8. New rule: Teams that start Jeff Freaking Weaver in game 1 of a playoff series are not allowed to go to the World Series.
  9. It was pretty much gospel in Tampa that he hates young players if he can have an alternative and doesn't understand the importance of OBP, and if you don't believe me listen to him talk on Fox, it's pretty clear that's where he stands. The last thing I want is a white, insane version of Dusty Baker.
  10. Soriano will be this offseason's Beltre. I guarantee it. And he will sign for not much more than 5/70, if at all. I just don't think he wants to play in Washington.
  11. TBA's are now updated.
  12. The Trib says: If we get Lou, and then the Sox get ARod, my interest in baseball will severely deteriorate. :(
  13. It's a dead horse, but as long as our team keeps playing at WRIGLEY Field, this type of complaining comes off a bit ridiculous. Pretty much since the beginning, baseball fields have been field with signs advertising commercial products. Baseball and advertising go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back. I actually think naming parts of the stadium or the innings, etc. is actually LESS intrusive than most of the advertising baseball has been a part of and invited in over the last 100+ years. Wrigley Field is named for the former owners of the franchise, not for the gum. It just happens that the former owners also owned the gum company.
  14. Hahaha, this picture from Paint the Town Red just had to be posted. http://www.nba.com/media/bulls/nocioni_061010.jpg
  15. What a job by the Tigers to take the first two. Back to Detroit we go!
  16. I think we can all agree that it's going to be incredible to see the atmosphere back in Detroit for game 3. Uh oh...come on Jones, shut the door.
  17. He just called Neifi, Neifi PAIR-ez. I complained about this earlier this year but evidently it's the correct pronunciation. I still like per-EZ better though.
  18. Haha, thanks Chavez. And Neifi with the old Pierre-ish AB, proving he's still got some Cub in him.
  19. I don't harbor ill will towards the Mets either. On the contrary, with Jose Reyes and David Wright among others, they're a fun team to watch.
  20. This is why I said the Sox were a joke earlier. If you were going to pick one baseball team to have a 7-Eleven tie in, it would've been them. Truth is stranger than fiction.
  21. Culver was a running back (and a very good one) for Notre Dame in the early 1990s. My grandparents still have tapes of games he played in at ND. I knew he had died but didn't know it was like this. Demetrius DuBose, who played LB for those teams, died a few years ago in a Tampa police shootout. Anyway, I hadn't heard anything about this (not about the original crash, nothing) until I got back from seeing a movie tonight. Turned on ESPNEWS as is my custom and Kurkjian is saying Lidle's dead. Really sad.
  22. From the sounds of it Morgan's probably going to have to retire. He's suffered five concussions. It's a shame because he was among the best in the league when healthy. The Panthers need to keep winning since the Saints and Falcons aren't coming back to the pack yet.
