    Wow Whitlock compared Ball State to Boise State......well......I'm sorry but I just don't see it. I mean BSU was pretty tough last year but in the end their biggest achievement was almost winning in Lincoln against one of the worst Nebraska teams in ages. IU beat them pretty good and then Rutgers abused them in the bowl game. Ball State may win 10 games this year but BCS buster? Please, spare me. Whitlock is a) a Ball State alum and b) a moron. Just ignore him (it's what I do).

    I think playing in the AL helps ALOT. The AL is head and shoulders above the NL. False. Maybe not head and shoulders but.. yeah its not really that close. Of the really good teams in the AL besides the Angels (Rays, Red Sox, Twins and White Sox - if you want to call the last two really good), the Angels probably play 24-30 games against them, as opposed to like 60 against Oakland, Seattle and Texas. And the Cubs play the Astros, Pirates and Reds. And the entire NL West, and the Braves and Nats. Entire NL West: 33 games Braves and Nats: 12 Mets, Marlins, Phillies, Brewers, Cardinals: 50+ Division means more than league.

    Speaking as someone who watched two Illinois games last year (Ball State and Ohio State, and some of the USC Rose Bowl beatdown), Juice had better improve his passing game as Sulley says he will. Rashard Mendenhall had like 200 yards rushing against us while Juice was running for about 60 and trying his best to pass us into the game at every turn. He had the 4 TD's against Ohio State, but he'll need to have a few more of those type of games for Illinois to be successful this year.

    If form holds from previous years, nothing but a really dominating performance will move them higher, unless one of the top 5 fails to destroy their opponents. Although there are the usual spate of ridiculously easy games by the big-timers, there are enough quality matchups to make week 1 plenty interesting.

    Yeah, it's the men's When does Phelps go?

    Can't win when you can't get any big hits and the ump's wearing the other team's colors.
  8. Andy
    That wasn't a strike either. BS loss.
  9. Andy
    Wasn't a strike. Ump's been giving the Marlins calls that he's been denying the Cubs all night.

    The mind-blowing thing about the Cubs is that they have 47 losses, and I have no doubt that in almost half of them they've basically done this - largely outplay the other team but fail to get a big hit ever.

    Aramis time!!!!!!!!!!!!
  12. Andy
    It's worth pointing out that Soto is one of the few Cubs who hasn't gotten a big game-winning hit yet this year.

    6-4 groundout for Lee...shocker.
  14. Andy
    If Lindstrom really is ready, Fredi Gonzalez just got bailed out big-time.

    Bob does not like the Marlins' mascot.

    The 7th Heaven ads tonight would be really annoying if not for the hilariously random "I've smoked pot." line in the middle of what's supposed to be a funny ad.
  17. Andy
    BLANCO!!!

    Hanley Ramirez doubles on strike 5. Thanks, blue.
  19. Andy
    1 hit, 4 stranded in scoring position...
  20. Andy
    Oh geez...that's embarrassing.

    Misty May. Mr. Anti-Clutch comes through again...
  22. Andy
    I'm about as surprised as Alfonso that that ball went fair...looked like it was heading foul off the bat.
  23. Andy
    Replay was inconclusive, but I'd lean to saying that it was the correct call.
  24. Andy
    Ball State's run for an unbeaten regular season (@Central Michigan and @Indiana are really the only two games that the Cards should legitimately have a good chance of losing) begins with I-AA Northeastern. The fact that I graduated before this season, I have a feeling, will be eating at me down the line.
