    The market efficiency of keeping pitchers healthy is so complex that the general idea of it doesn't mean much. Whatever team has the resources to sink in the research required to gain an advantage here are the type that aren't worried about what other teams are doing. Limiting pitch counts and refining mechanics is outdated, its time for cyberkinetic implants IMO.

    This wait and the subsequent openings of this thread is going to give me carpal tunnel.

    I'd send the pick we got for Olsen over in a heartbeat. /Rather it be the Bears 3rd rounder though.

    Is Marshall even on the block? Where is this coming from? I've wanted him badly ever since Cutler came here and it doesn't appear the Bears have ever come close to acquiring him.

    There's a million factors at play. Crashing at 220 mph in an open cockpit is safer than crashing at 65 mph while driving to work. But that track was conducive to bunching up a lot of cars and while the catch nets help fans out they don't do any favors to the drivers when they tear apart any car that reaches them. Several years ago a similar death occurred, don't remember who. When things decide to get bad they can get really bad. Not saying you are wrong, but can you explain to me how? I wish I could find some statistics for you. But the safety features implemented for the drivers are impressive, fire retardant suits, neck braces, carbon fiber shells, the introduction of steel and foam energy reduction walls help reduce the risk caused by banked turns, etc. Normal car wrecks cause a lot more injuries on average, just think of people you might know who don't even wear a seatbelt. Tragically, the new Dallara cars being introduced next year have bars over the tires to prevent cars from going airborne. Wheldon was testing these cars himself, a shame they came a year too late.

    I have to think significantly. Can you imagine that jump ball in the endzone thrown to Marshall instead of Knox? The o-line and play-calling will be paramount but a certified #1 WR can be just as helpful.

    That's how Lucchino negotiates. Stay thirsty, my friend.

    The system is a little too pitching-starved, I would hate to see the Cubs lose McNutt. I'm not surprised at all the Sox are trying to buy low on him.

    Yeah that's dumb. I'd prefer for the WR's to stop getting chest injuries now. Conte didn't look slow to me out there, I kept seeing his jersey everywhere. Major Wright was a a reliable tackler. Unless I missed something. No 70+ yard plays. I'm a big fan of this youth infusion, the defense needs it. Paea looked very solid and surprisingly quick off the line and in stunts. What happened to Henry Melton? Lance Louis needs to keep playing. And it sure was nice to experience an All-Pro like LG for a game. Williams was beastly.

    Not as cool as heart disease from morbid obesity though

    When it comes to clock management, Caldwell makes Lovie look like a genius.

    I never learn. I just always end up reading a couple before I'm like what the hell am I doing?

    Give forte the 4th qtr off.

    My favorite driver. The last 500 I went to was a blast. RIP.

    Koyie Hill is bad at everything. Including defense.

    Need 3 Rashard Mendenhall Steven Jackson Ryan Torain Mark Ingram I could also drop the Eagles D and pick up Earnest Graham since Blount will be out. (I picked up the Bengals D)

    It's all going down today. According to John Dennis of WEEI in Boston, the Red Sox and Cubs will start talks regarding compensation for Theo Epstein on Thursday. And if the compensation talks fall through? Never know what will happen. There is still plenty of time for a change of heart. Relax people. Just don't want to see your hearts all broken. http://i.imgur.com/y6cku.png

    Yeah, I really miss caring about baseball.

    Damn, didn't even think of that. Call everything off.
  23. tfarks
    I think he will come in boner raging Fleita to be given even cushier job to get out of the way, Quade shot out of a cannon, and 1 major FA signing we're all hoping for
  24. tfarks
    This guy gets it.

    I wish she had her own thread for actual news that the rest of us could't gum it up with our rehashing and analysis. Yeah, stupid talking baseball on a baseball site. How dare he not want to wade through countless pages of your deeply fascinating baseball discussions for actual news. BOOM HEADSHOT /sorry for those having to wade through my posts currently
