  1. I'd bet a lot of money that the Marlins wanted at least one of Pie/Hill/Cedeno/Murton and JH didn't budge on it, and that's why the Marlins lost interest. If that's the case, then kudos to Jim and go get Furcal for 4/34.
  2. Frost, if Lee had had Jones' amount of opportunities with men on and with RISP, he likely would have had so many RBIs that he would have beaten out not just Jones but Pujols as well, regardless of their teams' performance.
  3. Bulls visit the Rose Garden tonight to play the Trail Blazers at 10:00 pm ET. Although the mybulls e-mail says that Songaila is expected to start, SI.com's Truth and Rumors says that it is possible that Darius may be benched in favor of a Deng/Nocioni combo at the 3 and 4. Projected starters for the Bulls: Duhon Hinrich Deng Nocioni Chandler For the Blazers: Sebastian Telfair Sergei Monia Darius Miles Zach Randolph Joel Przybilla edited to reflect change in the lineup
  4. I think I saw that while watching sportscenter half asleep this morning. Miami vs. BGSU. espn link yep. 3 safeties in the first 20 minutes. that'll upset a coach Ouch. Silver lining for Miami: They lost by 28 so it didn't really make a difference. :P
  5. I really disagree with you on each points of this post. First, the secret was out pretty fast with DLee. Second, you are overvaluing the impact pitches a player sees because of another player in the lineup. I don't think the secret was out very quickly on Lee. I think that everybody expected him to come back to earth for the first two months of the year, and maybe started taking him more seriously after that. I think the fact that his OPS dropped by 225 points after the All Star break is evident of that, to some degree. I don't think I'm overvaluing the impact that a player like Pujols or Lee can have on other players in the lineup. For examle, Nunez had a .704 OPS in 2005, but his OPS jumped to .885 when he batted in front of Pujols. It might also have been because hardly anyone can maintain that level of inhuman production for an entire season...
  6. This thought worries me a lot...but you're probably right.
  7. That's absolutely hilarious. Seriously, the funniest thing I've read in a long time. 7/84 for Damon. Wow.
  8. At least it shows Neifi starting is not plan 'B'. AGon II is hardly a big improvement over Neifi.
  9. How many more "Bruce/bat signal" comments can one message board take? A lot. Bruce is our Batman. He saves us from the untruths of most of the national media!
  10. Who was the ump that hosed Kerry in the 9th inning against the Reds in 2004? IIRC that was the game that Kerry got tossed after he'd been pulled because whoever was umping at home decided that curveballs weren't strikes anymore. It was Eric Cooper. CB Bucknor was also on that crew.
  11. :lol: :lol: :lol: Great post
  12. About what we'll be paying Rafael Furcal next season. Geez.
  13. You're both wrong, it's Two-Face. Hopefully Bruce comes up lucky on the coin flip. :wink: Time to send out the Bruce Signal.
  14. Whoa. Wilkerson is MUCH better than a bench player. He may not be the ideal CF for the Cubs but he is not a bench-caliber player.
  15. Haha, I didn't even think about that, but it's a really good point.
  16. I'm sure KSU will miss Snyder a lot. He came in before the 89 season and the Cats were arguably the worst team in college football, and less than a decade later, he was one Texas A&M OT run for a score of going to the national title game. What a great job that guy did with the Wildcats.
  17. Patterson was just as crappy batting 6th, 7th and 8th as he was batting 1st and 2nd.
  18. It's the Andruw Jones "you've got to be kidding me that he got 17 first place votes" BandWGN. :wink:
  19. Did you know that a deal to get Juan Pierre is practically imminent??? I'm so excited, Bruce Levine said we're about to get him so I am pumped! *note sarcasm*
  20. I preferred Andruw, but the fact that D-Lee wasn't even close to finishing 2nd shows you how much individual performace really means to this award.
  21. http://www.sportscurmudgeon.com/archives/sc872.html Proof that my quest to know everything is not yet complete. :wink: Sorry for the mix-up guys.
  22. =D> =D> =D> =D> Bravo to MLB for finally getting this done. Finally a policy with some real teeth.
  23. A I-AA win doesn't count as a win towards bowl games. You need to have seven I-A wins on the 12-game schedule to be bowl-eligible. And I believe it would really kill the SOS.
  24. I heard about that. Who was it that cancelled on them again?
  25. This is terrible. Bulls winning the battle on the boards but a seven-foul differential and a whole lot of turnovers are keeping them down. Oh yeah and they're shooting 31 percent.
