Me neither. I'm not sure I'll feel comfortable about any game they play this year. I think we just played a rusty Peyton Manning and banged up Colts team and lucked out in the first game.

Even if Griese is starting...I don't feel comfortable that will win this game

LSU and Auburn will be a way low scoring game....By the way did anyone watch the ending of that Auburn and Miss St? Literally the worst offensive game of all time...Auburn fumbled on like 3 straight possessions yet Miss St. didn't score off any of them. This game should be good though

maybe 70, honestly. a 120 pound closer with a violent delivery and numbers trending the wrong way? where do i sign? I would agree with the 7 not 70...The guys numbers might be getting worse, but getting 55 saves means your doing something right. Saves are the new RBI He's one of the best closers in baseball....Am I saying he should make 15 a year...no way!!!! No relief pitcher should be making that money, but he's still one of the best in baseball at what he does I would say he's pretty good at it. What I like about him isn't his ability to dominate, because he's merely slightly above average in that regard. What I do like about him is that he is very, very consistant at being as effective as he is. Very true

I'm surprised the Reds just cut that guy. He wasn't very good, but he has a decent arm and he still had options if I'm not mistaken. It's not like their system is so loaded on MR prospects that they couldn't have kept him in their system and see if he figured it out. The Reds hate the Cubs more than they hate the Brewers. Or do they? Haha We will see my friend

I still love your video of Phelps.....It still pumps me up!!!!!!

Purdue Alum here I'm gonna say we lose to Oregon this weekend like 66-24.

It doesn't make sense to spend 15 million on any reliever. I'd really prefer to move that guy named Carlos Marmol to the closer position

Yep, he got me on that one too! Ditto

And replace him with? Soriano You can't do that. He'd hop on every throw to first and every runner would be safe. HAHAHA :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

OH Ok

If you're going to trade both Lilly and Marquis, then you go all-in: let Dempster go for draft picks, and sign Sabathia. As someone else alluded, Hill, Marshall, Gaudin, Samardzija, Hart, Guzman, and whoever else have a cage match in the spring for the last two spots. Can you imagine the look on Brewer fan's face when, after witnessing Sabathia's awesomeness firsthand in the second half of '08, the Brewers still somehow miss the playoffs, the Cubs win the WS, and then to rub it in, sign Sabathia in November? I have a very good feeling Sabathia will have nothing left after this season. The Brewers therefore would be laughing in our faces that we'd sign him to a big deal. I really think thats there goal to throw his arm out so they have a chance to make a run.

Yeah not going to do anything great. He'll get on base and play decent defense. I'd say it was a solid pick seeing they gave up nothing for him

Wait K.Hill is back on the DL when did that happen?

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still dont understand why we didnt just drop Home run Howry :banghead: dang it lou stop holding grudges I guess they are holding out hope he might revert back to form in Sep. He still wont see any crunch time IMHO. Smardz was a godsend. Oh I agree, but They didnt need to just basically release him for nothing :cray:

I've always thought he was a decent player. How did they get him for nothing and why didnt they get him?

Burnett to test free agency? A.J. Burnett | Blue Jays Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston is among the people who expect A.J. Burnett to test the free-agent market at the end of this season, according to a report on MLB.com. Burnett can opt out of his contract with Toronto at the end of this season, and Gaston believes that's probably going to happen. "It certainly looks like A.J. probably won't be here -- I don't know," Gaston said. "He seems to want to get closer to home. Just put the numbers together and you can figure that one out real easy. He's probably got to do what's best for his family. "I'd love to have him here, but if he wants to go somewhere else, you can't do anything about that." http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/features/rumors The link On Rumor Central (know a lot of you guys love him) wouldn't mind him

Except for when it results in an out. Then it's neither better nor worse. What one thinks about the out is totally irrelevant. Tying run on third, less than 2 outs; a strikeout is not worse?? This is ridiculous. If the runner doesn't score, not worse. If the runner scores worse. What anyone thinks about the out doesn't matter. If it makes people feel better that a player hit the ball sharply or the fielder made a great play, fine, feel better about the out. The result is the same as a strikeout. As I've said before context is everything. If the out results in a run that's a "better" out. It doesn't matter how the out was made. Yeah why are you guys still talking about which type of out is worse. An out is an out it doesn't really matter.

Agreed

All I know was the fact that Owings future would not be on the mound. I was never impressed with Owings as a pitcher, even at GT and Tulane. I felt Owings future was likely at 1st base or LF. You really think that Micha could be a position player? He did a pretty good job of it in college. True, but he's been pitching for 2 years. Yeah obviously he still can hit, but athletically I don't think hes in the shape to play a corner outfield position. Yeah, but you think it would take very long for Owings to get in shape to play LF? I don't think so. Im not saying it would take really long, but I dont think you could just throw him in an play LF after pitching for a long time. It would probably be a year or two until he was truly ready. Thats what I think could be wrong That I would agree with to a certain point. Owings is not that removed from playing a regular position, unlike Rick Ankiel. If he does indeed goes to the Reds, they should put him the AFL and then spend half of next season in AAA, learning LF. I mean really, he can't be that much worst in LF then Dunn, plus he's got the bat to play the field. In other words....I didn't like Owings (or Van Benschoten for that matter) as pitchers, and I felt both had higher ceilings as hitters. No I agree with you about that. That sounds about right
