    Doesn't Brothers have options left? Though with him getting that contract I assume they intend him to be a piece in the pen.

    We already have Jon Lester, it only makes sense to add Morejon

    Meh, ESPN's strength of record says it was harder for UNC to go 11-1 vs. its schedule than it was for Stanford to go 10-2 vs. its schedule. Granted, they are ranked 11 and 12 in the metric, so they are basically equal right now, but once you add in the conference championships, you'd probably see a bigger difference. Sagarin has Stanford at 16 and UNC at 63. Football Outsiders has Stanford 31, UNC 79. Stanford lost to teams ranked in the top-15, UNC lost to a 3-9 team. UNC hasn't even played a team that's currently receiving votes in either poll. Stanford beat No. 9, No. 24 and two teams receiving votes. The top team UNC played according to Sagarin was No. 34 Pitt. Stanford played 7 teams in the top-33. Well yes, but the whole scenario hinges on if UNC beats the consensus #1 in Clemson so some of that would obviously change. I mean I hate UNC and hope they lose so I'm happy to hear arguments why they shouldn't get in even if they do win. And I'm not really advocating they should, either. In fact, the bitching and moaning around here would be glorious in that case.

    I wouldn't be terribly disappointed with a Shark/Leake combo for this off season. Even more so if it meant they were in heavy on Heyward, obviously. You can do a lot worse than a rotation of Arrieta/Lester/Shark/Leake/Hendricks (or Hammel). That said, there are a million possibilities for how this offseason will go and I'm certain that it will strengthen next year's club. I'm just excited to see what transpires.

    So I woke up at 3 am after falling asleep during halftime of the NCSU/ASU game last night. Decided it was a good idea to start watching from the 2nd half only to watch NC state fall behind/come back and take the lead/choke it away and lose by 3 (barely missed a 3 pointer at the buzzer to tie it). Of course that had me wide awake and then couldn't go back to sleep until 5:00. As a result I slept through my alarm and woke up at 7:55 (I had a phone appointment at 8am I obviously was late to call). Not a wise decision, but then again I specialize in those it seems :bow:

    maybe he was talking about replacing the windows in the FO offices within the next two years as part of the wrigley renovation plans

    it's already been stated by the poster that it was Kaplan's phrase and not his

    Why would playing CF somehow make him slower?
  9. weis21
    Is this like the "Cable" version of him? Does he have tiny hands or something?

    Plus I'm just going to assume the NL gets a DH sometime in the near future.

    I've had to be resucitated twice. What a crazy ending. between the 4th and 25 play and then the facemask penalty I have to image the guy is beside himself. Congrats, though. big win!

    Who's on OMC suicide watch tonight?
  13. weis21
    lol Watson, Clemson's QB, just spiked the ball on 3rd down and goal to go when they had a TO left and 20+ seconds on the clock. Wow. EDIT: 33 seconds

    I'm considering it stuff I remember, which is why there isn't more MJ on my list - I was 11 when he last played for the Bulls. In this case it's Wood's game 7 HR. I'll never forget watching the crowd's reaction on TV and wishing I was there so badly.
  15. weis21
    Does it have to be something we remember? Something that happened in our lifetime? I need more parameters.
  16. weis21
    AJ Green for sure. I'd probably lean towards Crabtree with the DAL QB situation such a mess. But, I wouldn't fault you if you chose Dez as your #2.
  17. weis21
    yeah i pretty much disagreed with every word of his post
  18. weis21
    But do they get hangovers?
  19. weis21
    Makes me wonder if he was dictating that rant into his phone driving down the road or something. Yeah, I would sure hope so.

    football players get injured its a 100% what does everyone once from him?

    Time to break out the fried chicken and beer

    This situation reminds me of what Joe said in his press conference to announce his hiring. He was asked about playoffs/curses/etc and he said something like: "I don't know anything about all that. All I know is that if you take care of the seconds then the seconds take care of the minutes. The minutes take care of the hours and the hours the days. The days take care of the weeks and the weeks the months..." They can't win four games tonight, but they can win one game tonight. And they can win one game tomorrow and so on. It's what I told myself to make myself feel better this morning. Let's win 4 straight for the 10th time this year.

    Too bad we've never had a 4 game winning streak with all games against the mets i'm not sure I understand exactly what you're saying but I was being sarcastic. they swept the mets, as you know, 7-0 in the regular season - including a 4 game sweep. i was just kidding around and trying to be optimistic. I know, I was going with it, not taking you seriously. Sorry I should have made that more clear it's ok. you've had a rough (extended) weekend of sports. I have, too, but I expected my teams - except the cubs - to suck. it's a bit easier to handle when expectations are low. i'm not giving up on this team yet and won't until the final out. but this team has given me a lot of joy and i'm excited as [expletive] about next year and the many years to follow. last year i gave up on the cubs before my birthday as being a competitive club. my birthday is may 21st. it's been a fun year. and i'm different than most. i'd rather the cubs lose in 7 and break my heart than lose in 4. I want them to be competitive until the end.

    This series is [expletive] on a stick. At least in '03 there where some exciting moments that I was able to enjoy before my heart was ripped out and stomped on the floor. See, this works better for me. If we run into a hot team and we get outplayed, so be it. I'm not happy about it, but it happens all the time in baseball. My heart couldn't handle an 03 with this crew. whatever. that's horrible. i'd give a game 7 with this group - even if it hurt worse at the time - than bowing out after 4 games.
