Kind of like Ryne Sandberg, right? It can be done and it depends on the athlete. Sure, maybe Moore can make the transition that HOF Ryne Sandberg made.

I don't know about that. 2nd basemen usually turn into thirdbasemen, not vice versa.

So, is it official yet? Done for the year?

I almost voted for faith no more just for the work that Mike Patton did with Dillinger Escape Plan. Then I listened to Money Talks and I changed my mind.

COWBOYS FROM HELL

i have a feeling this is going to be the dreaded 12 v 5 upset. If Rush goes out in the first round, i'm blaming derwood.

The worst part of it is, you know that Scott G.F. is going to show up with another thread again soon.

I just wanted to take a second to laugh hysterically.

Ballgame, Sox win.

This game is awesome

it should be a flex like last year, i just forgot to change it. I'll do that tonight

Since when did 150 innings become enough to blow out a pitcher's arm? Watching pitch counts is one thing, but this is a little absurd. For a young guy who has never thrown 100 innings (i think) and has never pitched above AA, it is a lot. He can't get though a full minor league season without ending up on the DL, in a lost season, it's time to err on the side of caution

For me, it's hard not to say that Barry Sanders was the best ever.

IMB selects Torry Holt

NIGERIAN NIGHTMARE

Weather? :sunny: Weather, whatever. Sunny if we win. KC won 11 out of 16. Another reason for hope. That's not a sign for hope. What good is 11/16 when you are still just 30-54? It's just a sign that any crap team can have short bursts of decent results, but they are still very likely to remain a crap team when all is said and done. I don't believe we have a crap team. Drinking this early in the morning cant be good for you

he was too short, too slow and too fat but dammit i loved watching him. the game in the playoffs against the giants with the seperated shoulder still motivates me to this day

Yeah, Bomar struggled a lot early on and a lot of it is due to the [expletive] QB battle that went on over the course of his first year and a half. He came in as the number one QB in the nation, and redshirted (right move). His year as a shirt was spent behind Jason White, Paul Thompson (who also shirted that year) and Tommy Grady. Grady and Thompson shared the backup snaps in practice and if something happened to Jason White, they would have pulled Thompson's shirt and put him in. The point of all that is that Bomar got very little actual practice his first year in the system. I mean, he was even second on the redshirt depth chart. So fast forward to last year and the battle is between him and Thompson and Grady. They split the snaps in practice pretty evenly, but eventually Grady dropped out due to grades, so it was down to Bomar and Thompson. The coaching staff anointed Thompson the starter, but it was clear after the first quarter of the first game that he didn't have what it took. I haven't seen a QB freeze like that in a long time. Anyway, in game two they made the move to Bomar, but seing as how he had been splitting snaps with up to 3 other quarterbacks for a year and a half, he wasn't ready. He was the most talented and throwing him to the wolves was the right idea (he's the toughest QB I've ever seen, and I watched Hybl and White get the piss kicked out of them for a few years), he just wasn't game ready at the time. Hell, against Tulsa, in his first start, we didnt throw the ball once in the second half. Anyway, he is really talented and he really started to put it together at the end of last season, which is remarkable considering our wideouts were either freshman (Kelly, Iglesias), new to the position (Thompson) or injured (Wilson), our Oline was terrible and AD was hurt for the first half of the season.

if a guy is hitting almost .400 in the minors, but can't get his slugging percentage over .600, well, he better be a middle infielder or a centerfielder or something before anyone cares.

Oops, i figured the word censor would catch it.

Ok, let's see, Damian Miller might as well be a good player, a .790 ops at catcher is probably slightly better than average for a catcher, but Matheny, Molina and Ausmus are god awful. If you have a decent offense, you can hide them in the lineup and let them make their money on defense. Having either of those three basically gives you two pitchers in the lineup.

well, hell.

Crawford is hitting a lot, Baldelli looks great, Delmon Young is hitting .370 in AAA and Gomes is young, cheap and better than most people give him credit for (Think Adam Dunn minus 8.65 million a year).
