    Better than the Big 12. That may or may not be true, though a healthy OU and Texas would beat any team in the Big East. Of course, no one has been in the football threads hyping the Big 12 as the best conference in america.

    cool, so can we stop talking about the big east now?

    All you LSU fans pining for Matt Flynn next year might as well stop...he's transferring to OU and under the new rule that lets graduates switch schools without losing a year, he'll be a nice little rental for us.

    Ok, I need a shower to wash the stink of rooting for A&M off me.

    Poor IMB....that one non loss is going to kill him even more now. They still have to beat Oklahoma State to win the Big 12 South but, assuming Texas loses, I don't think it hurt them that much. Oklahoma with one loss is still behind both Michigan and USC and would likely be behind Florida and potentially Notre Dame as well. I don't think a one loss Oklahoma team would have a chance to make the Title game because the Big 12 is so weak. Agreed. If we beat OSU tomorrow, and then Nebraska in the Big 12 Championship, we'll be in BCS bowl, which is all we can ask for after dropping the game to Texas in October. I'll tell you one thing, There's a big party at my apartment tomorrow, with lots of drinking involved.

    A&M still has to get a first down and we still have to beat OSU, which may be easier said than done.

    I am a [expletive] for Romo. He has some zip on the ball, thats for sure.

    As backloaded as his contract is, it's going to be hard for him to give away that money. He'd have to be very productive over the next few years to think about doing that.

    It's a nice thought, but this offseason was Hendry's last shot. He couldnt afford a 65-win retooling season.

    More than Ryan Howard would, that's for sure.

    I think Jones is a better player than Mathews overall. I as well. Not to mention that Jones is making what, six mil next year? Matthews wants 3/39. JONES

    An article just came across the wire where the only thing Coletti says about Pierre is that he's a good character guy. For 45 million bones, you better believe I want a few more positives than that

    no such thing as a non-moron astro or cardinal fan.

    Not happening with the Cubs. He's played for three big-league managers and none of the three has been fond of him. His most recent manager was in the Cubs system as a coach. I'm sure they still talk. So no, he's not coming here. Bruce, we are going to need stats to understand what you are saying. No, I don't care about Batting Avg, HR's or even RBI's. Please help us understand what your saying with stats. All baseball executives are infallible. I doubt anyone has the stomach for that after 200 pages of it in the Soriano thread. Oh God, here we go. But if all of his managers disliked him, that is a consensus of opinion. And a consensus of opinion, while not statistically quantifiable, does mean something. Still, that production would have been nice. I won't be losing any sleep over this, though. I don't think TT started the smartass remarks, Cheesehead brought it up out of nowhere for the sole purpose of getting a rise out of people. His response was great. Oh, I know. My "Oh God" was in anticipation of the back and forth I thought was forthcoming.

    There's trust in his ey...legs.....

    Gonzalez isn't an above average defender. spare me your frar crap and all those bush league stats that i dont care to look up. Gonzalez is a winner. Who cares about his ISOD i care about his HEART.

    Somewhere Nate Newton is like "damn thats a lot of drugs".

    im a firm believer that most baseball players are whores, and will go where the money is. we have a lot of money. you do the math. i think it can happen

    it is helpful for all players, but it loses meaning on the extremes. noone complains when a player has a .400 obp but has a .040 IsoD. similarly, there are ligit complaints if a player is batting .213 but has an IsoD of 100. Exactly, the Howie Kendrick/Mark Bellhorn example. Stupid people equate those that appreciate OBP with valuing walks above all else.
  23. imb
    People need to get over thinking that just because a statistic doesn't tell you the whole story, that it is invalid. Statistics are just puzzle pieces, they fit together to give you the big picture.
  24. imb
    if 2/30 is the new offer, why not just up it to 3/45 and see if that gets it done.
  25. imb
    For the record, I now like the DeRosa signing, and if Drew signs with Boston, especially for 4/48 and especially this early (he won't), then I won't be upset with Hendry. I mean, really, if you're JD Drew (I feel like Joe Theisman) who do you want to play for, a team that should be at least a playoff threat for the duration of his contract, or the Cubs? Probably option A, and if he wants to go there, maybe no amount of Hendry's money can change his mind.
