  1. It is my position that all the whining about "fair shots" in overtime is a nonsensical waste of time.
  2. for me any big money prospect who is not pitching in camp and is unable to start the season with a team is a red flag
  3. There is no one critical possession, any possession is critical in sudden death. And they are not guaranteed by any means to win on that opening possession. Both teams do get a shot, unless you give up a touchdown. Starting OT on defense doesn't = not having a shot.
  4. their predecessors were utterly incompetent, they don't need to be the best in the business to improve the organization.
  5. I don't like the idea of giving a team, who just failed to stop their opponent in any way, a mandatory 4-down drive all the way down the field to try to make up for their failure. You just gave a team that failed to win in regulation an offensive possession though. If it's a game with two horrible defenses, why should one benefit from a coin toss? One would benefit because there has to be an end. There's no reason why we need to keep making up reasons for the game to be extended. Coin tosses are not some sort travesty epic proportions that need to be remedied.
  6. Maples not being healthy is common knowledge? What's the issue?
  7. Every 60+ year old NY business man is in love with the Dodgers. Fox had a huge television rights offer on the table for the Dodgers. Everything going on in the media world has shown that content is king, and the Dodgers are big content.
  8. But they didn't do that with little Cubs logos on their golf shirts.
  9. For what purpose? It's not like they always had every team play at the same time. Opening day has fluctuated for years. There is MLB's opening day, but also opening day for every individual team, including home openers for teams that open on the road. I see nothing wrong with this sort of marketing concept where teams play in foreign locales. And if they do play outside the country there is little choice but to have it at odd hours and prior to other teams games since they have to travel so far. Personally if they ever do get around to promoting the game more in Europe, I'd love to attend a Cubs opener in Italy or somewhere similar. I enjoyed getting up early to watch the Cubs in Japan a decade ago. Opening day evolves and it's not like this sort of thing happens every year.
  10. I really wish I had a Sprite
  11. He's got 1 walk, , 16 K, 0 HR and a 750 OPS. That's still awful.
  12. How the hell is he writing people off by not having them in his top 10? It's a top 10 list for 5 years from now. That is a very long time. There is only one player who appeared on the top ten WAR list for 2006 and 2011, Miguel Cabrera. Pujols was only 26 and he didn't make the cut 5 years later. Sizemore was only 23 and he's fallen apart. Santana was 27 and he didn't even pitch last year. Vernon Wells was also only 27 then. Odds are your top 10 will be made up of mostly 26-29 year olds who were unproven up and comers five years earlier, but a couple guys make come out of nowhere, or at least surprisingly show up (Lee and Bautista this year).
  13. colts are on the board, no reason they can't make the pick already
  14. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/hockey/blackhawks/chi-montador-returns-to-blackhawks-lineup-20120327,0,3142950.story Steven Montador and I will both be attending the Blackhawks game in Newark tonight. Only Montador will be playing while I will be drinking my face off.
  15. http://deadspin.com/5896780/rebounderz-would-like-you-to-know-that-joba-chamberlain-did-not-get-injured-at-rebounderz-but-at-a-non+rebounderz-trampoline-arena Hey lawyer people, is there such a thing as a Cease and Assist letter?
  16. Non-freaking-sense. Contention is all you can ask for. There is no "over the top". You contend now and build to be better in the future.
  17. hopefully next year all the free agents are like 23 But they won't have a long enough proven track record to justify signing. All free agents should be 25.5 and only sign 4 year contracts.
  18. I will take the broncos
  19. Bear and the Gang
  20. they shouldn't trade Byrd regardless of the Jackson situation if they can't get something of value. But something of value for Marlon Byrd probably isn't a whole heck of a lot.
  21. bet that drives the ladies wild
