You're kiding right? People are saying he's been the most impressive person in camp. I've heard Rose, Tyrus, and Thabo have all been looking good so far. Good, I've really liked those guys and want them to succeed. (Capt. Obvious, I mean more than, say, Joakim).

http://homerderby.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/major-league-lou-brown.JPG There's a lot of talent on this club, Charlie. There are two or three potential All-Stars on this team!

More or less, yeah. Although FWIW, I enjoyed the first couple months of the Drew Gooden Experience. He could be pretty decent.

Question for out of market Cubs fans
Andy replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I've found something to the effect of "please speak up, it's hard to hear you down in 4th place" can be pretty effective. Then you get to hear about 2006. Yeah, usually it's something about 1908. We were catching 1908 crap at the Orioles series we went to, in the last game when Baltimore killed Jason Marquis. It was kind of cute in a "we've never been relevant except for that one time our shortstop didn't sit out for 16 years" sort of way. -
I am not remotely close to being truly excited about the Bulls as a team, but I'm interested to see what Rose can do in the pros. That alone will probably keep me tuned in.
-
I'll give it 3 completely embarrassing 'drives' by Derek Anderson on Monday before they make the move, but I am probably underestimating Crennel's stupidity.

Wonderful, another year of Ryan Theriot basically being Cedeno with less speed, a worse throwing arm, and more singles.

Question for out of market Cubs fans
Andy replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'm not really out of the market but I haven't had to deal with much. I vented to a few people, took some crap from a few others. Nothing major. Luckily, the only Sox fan I talk to that often is a rational one and doesn't really blast the Cubs very much. -
The Phillies are the only team that hasn't won the World Series recently, didn't beat us in this year's playoffs, and weren't created 15 minutes ago. So, Phillies.
-
Rooting for a non-brand name team sucks. The best game this week is Carolina at Tampa and like three states get it. Stupid.

We are. 97-67.

Horrible? 97-67.

The 2009 Offseason Thread
Andy replied to Tyrant's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
What are Holliday's splits away from Coors? I'm intrigued by him but I think I remember hearing he was much better in Colorado. -
frankly, all the "my conference is better than yours" talk is getting pretty old. who cares? Makes being an independent sound pretty good, eh? :wink:
-
The 2008 Cubs team were my favorites in the short time I've been a fan, and they still are.
-
2004 hurt you more then 2003? Seriously? That was such a miserable team that by the end I didn't even care. I was 17, so I didn't realize until later what a bunch of dunderheads they were. It's not like 2003 was a band of wonderfully likable guys anyway, we just didn't know they were idiots until 2004. And 2004 was a much better team. So yes, it hurt me more.
-
2004 hurt more than anything, because 2003 was the first one. I was a dumb kid who figured we'd be back in 2003. And unlike even this team, I was absolutely certain the 2004 team would win it all if they made the playoffs. 2003 is a distant second to 2004, with 2008 not far behind. 2007 is barely on the radar screen compared to those three.
-
The worst part is that no one will remember the 2008 Cubs as the best team in the league because they didn't get it done when it mattered. It's that very few Cubs fans will look back at the 2008 season the way the first 161 games went, they'll look at the last 3. The worst part is that the same team that inspired us to say, so many times, "I love this team!" did nothing to inspire it when it counted.

Week 6: Bears at Falcons, noon central on Fox
Andy replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Just stopping in to say Go Bears! I think you guys will get it done this weekend, and hopefully you do, it would help us out. -
Purdue, IU, and Michigan are all horrible. Northwestern is pretty good, but hasn't really played anyone yet either. Same for Minnesota. Illinois is probably not as good as they've appeared to be, but I'm willing to wait and see on them. Wisconsin has lost their only game against a good team (Fresno lost to Hawaii at home, which really puts a damper on Wisco's win there) plus blown the lead against UM. The Big Ten has a few good teams (Ohio State is still pretty good, and MSU is probably better than people are giving them credit for right now, and Penn State is obviously quite good themselves), but it's still not a very good league this year. Probably better than last year, but not very good.
-
Don't worry, only half of that will be true next week. MSU is going to clobber Northwestern (sorry Jon).
-
The Panthers won 34-0 with two makeshift guys starting at tackle because their starting tackles were both injured...DeAngelo scored 3 times, Delhomme was fantastic, Smith was great...color me pleased. Next week's the big one though...huge game at Tampa. If the Panthers can win that one it's going to be very hard to keep them from winning the division.
-
Notre Dame will have to play their best game of the year to beat UNC. They looked fantastic for 3 quarters yesterday but fell asleep in the driver's seat in the 4th. That will not fly vs the Heels. They also may want to think about having someone on the roster who can find that spot between the yellow sticks on field goals (they are commonly called "uprights"). Ball State should have another easy win on their hands in their debut game as a ranked team.
-
Notre Dame is usually playing really good teams early in the season (or teams people think at the time are really good), so normally being 4-1 is something of a feat. This year their best win is over Michigan, and they don't have a road win. That's why they're not getting votes. Not that difficult to figure.
-
The NFC South might just be the 2nd best division in football right now... Carolina's 4-1, Tampa's 3-1 and in progress, Atlanta's 3-2 and New Orleans is 2-2 with a chance to go 3-2 tomorrow night.
