I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for trading me Carson Palmer. Well, Parker has been my best player. McNabb's not doing anything for me right now. This has been a weird year so far. Steven Jackson and, to a lesser extent LDT, have given us nothing through two weeks. I got nothing out of my RB1, WR2 and my starting defense last week. I was very lucky to pull out a win.

I was just responding to a guy that said that you don't get to be at the position you are at if you're baseball illiterate. Those two are the definition of baseball illiterate, yet they win broadcasting awards while broadcasting thousands of games on cable tv.

When I was 13, the leadoff guy got on in the seventh and our coach gave me the sac bunt sign. I hadn't bunted all year, that I can remember, and the pitch was way outside, so out of habit I pulled the bat back. The guy on first got thrown out going for second. I ended up walking and getting picked off of first. Not my finest half inning.

Obviously not, I would think. The question is, how valuable are the things that aren't quantifiable, and I think that they aren't very.

I was going to ask you how in the hell you can possibly feel that way, then I saw the LSU sig.

Yeah, take that you geeks. Boo yah, you just got faced.

Man, how many times have we done that this year?

Am I the only guy that has never heard of this effing guy

What an assenine comment. If you've read this thread you'd know that the whole argument for wanting the cubs to miss the playoffs is because fans would like to be able to point to more than 3 out of the last 40 seasons as seasons we had a chance. The word you're looking for is asinine. What's "assenine" is your logic. People don't want the Cubs to make the playoffs because we've been lousy in the past? That's just flat out stupid. No real fan would ever want the team they supposedly support to not make the playoffs. Correcting spelling...the sure sign of someone who has a weak argument. I'll bold the asinine comment. If you've read the thread at allyou will realize that those who may not want the team to win, only do so because they are fans who would like to "enjoy the ride" more often than they have been able to in the past. Your implication that those who do not want them to make it to the playoffs aren't real fans just make you look ignorant/you haven't read the thread/unable to follow very simple logic that has been clearly delineated multiple times. If you're going to comment on the intelligence of my post, at least freaking spell the words right that way you don't make yourself look like a complete... nevermind. Regarding the body of your post... all that needs to be said is that if you don't want the Cubs to make the playoffs, you're not a true fan. It's that simple. This isn't an a=b situation, as has been pretty well explained throughout the thread that you apparently aren't paying attention to. I want the Cubs to make the playoffs, I assume that everyone does. But the question is, if we back into the post season, will management see it as a "we're going the right direction" type of deal, when it seems pretty clear that we're not. There's a lot about this team that needs to change, from top to bottom. Would making the playoffs this year help or hinder that change?

Where did anyone say anything other than that?

Seriously though, Dane Cook ruins it for me.

Jags D, for sure. Harrington should be good for at least 2 picks and a handful of sacks. As far as RBs, pick your poison.

Put me on the list as well. How can a person only walk 15 times in a season? 15 walks in 492 at-bats. That's mind-boggling. I think you mean "mind-bottling"

I don't think you understand exactly what his point was, there.

Not really. The larger the playoff is, the more likely the best team isn't crowned champions. No, that's what I'm saying. No one looks at the winner of a playoff and says "well, there's the best team in the nation." They just accept them as the winner of the championship tournament and move on. In a sport where you only play 14 games, it's useless to try to determine who the best team is if you don't have to. Let's stick them in a playoff, crown a champion and go home.

The best team at the end of the year doesn't always end up No. 1 Does anyone think that by January, Ohio State was a better team than USC? No way. But they were higher ranked, because they hadn't lost all season. A playoff would eliminate that little problem.

Are you talking about the Steven Jackson one? I think I like that one even more than the LDT commercial. Say what you will about Nike, but they always come up with awesome advertising.

Can we litter our DL with Sooners? <3 Dusty and Tommie. You can draft Granger and McCoy in a few years. They start at tackle for us now, but they're just a Rs Frosh and a Sophomore.

What's the worst thing that happens? A flag and you lose a foot? Fantastic play.

He just launched himself in the air, that was a thing of beauty.

Brown and Tommie are having a huge game.

I think it was Alex Brown that was about one inch away from hitting Rivers arm and killing this drive.

<3 Tommie Harris. That was sexy.
