  1. I think it's a nice way of saying Boston's ownership is a joke and he doesn't want to work in that environment.
  2. Wow, anybody else surprised how open he was talking about a player under contract to another team?
  3. Huh? Its been that kind of day. Mean't Ferentz. He's had multiple opportunities to jump to the NFL, which is one reason. Plus he's provided incredible stability so they haven't had to spend resources going after other coaches and/or buying out one while hiring a new one. And his staff barely shows up on the list of assistants getting paid. Put that together with a solid bowl record, a couple big ten championships and flirtations with the top of the polls and he's probably been worth every penny.
  4. Part of me feels sorry for him. He can only blame Sandusky and himself here, but I do pity the man for being in the situation he's put himself in.
  5. I think this just shows you how much of a mistake it is to have a senile old man be the face of the entire sports department while not actually doing any coaching. This is the type of situation where you talk about accountability (as opposed to with baseball players who don't run out every ground ball) and there was none in that organization. What a freaking pathetic way to end his reign. It's a shame. Sandusky is the scum of the earth but Peterno and everybody else who had any knowledge of this situation completely let down the Penn State community and of course, especially every kid that got assaulted after they were aware it could be going on.
  6. I'm still hung over. Jay missed quite a few passes last night from where I was sitting. He had some open guys for potential big gains that he just missed. He played well overall though. Man I love beating the kiddie rapist supporting eagles.
  7. you should try it sometime you selfish bastard I would but I can't carry a fetus for a prolonged period of time you jerk. lol - so. how far along? 13 weeks
  8. Walt Whitman your bridge is glorious

  10. Designated drivers are the best.
  11. Yes. Seats behind north end zone I think. Briggs jersey, wife has Payton, with a dozen eagles fans
  12. It's good for loosening the stool, no?
  13. I'm in Lincoln financial parking lot. Consensus so far is Philly blowout and a truffle like apologist stance on child rape
  14. This weekend wasn't the first time this information came out, right? I feel like we heard about the first indications of an investigation a while ago and it has just been keep since then. I have to believe that if this wasn't JoePa, there would be more of an uproar about his ouster. Apparently the media is more interested in free tattoos than children being raped. I think that's true. I didn't realize it was confirmed that Joe had actual knowledge of the allegation before. But I didn't follow it that closely. re the OSU comparison, Kobe won a title shortly after raping a girl while Vick served years for killing dogs so...I don't know...life isn't fair? torturing and killing dogs is generally considered a lesser crime than getting a free tattoo, no? And the charges against Kobe were eventually dropped. These aren't very equal comparisons.

  16. The entity that "owns" US cellular is just a shell to protect Reinsdorf.
  17. And not a lot of guys who do something as useful as mash lefties like Baker does. There are 4 non-catcher spots. And a guy who mashes lefties plus plays 3B, 2B, corner OF and the occasional 1B can fit there. I would rather have a guy like Baker who we know can do an adequate job on the bench, be a part of that bench, instead of introducing a second rate prospect to the major leagues via a bench role. Baker is the first RH bat off the bench, if his role is taken over by a kid, that kid is probably the last guy off the bench and won't play enough.
  18. Who is this theoretical full time 3B? If you can get a real one, sure, but that's a lot easier said than done. You also have bench spots to fill, and you might as well fill them with people who do something useful, like mash lefties and play multiple spots. The fact that somebody might not be a part of this team in 3 years is no reason to get rid of them today. You put the best players you have in 2012 on the 2012 team.
  19. Not at all curious if he can maintain the increased strikeout rate while reducing the bb and he rates? I think he's shown all he has and it is next to nothing.
  20. http://cdn.ksk.uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/nachoole.gif
  21. Oh yeah baby, the MacPhail/Hendry plan. Worked like a charm last time.
  22. Epstein has talked a lot about scouring for assets. My interpretation is they aren't going to be cutting anybody who has a chance to contribute. Colvin isn't a valuable asset, but he is an asset, and could contribute. Dewitt is similar, especially with the team letting Ramirez go. They probably need to handle 2B and 3B with quantity at the moment and he would be a part of that. James Russel is somebody who is an asset when the team isn't mindlessly trying to use him as a starter. On the other hand, Coleman is kind of useless. If you aren't a legit starter, and don't offer some sort of stand out skill for the bullpen like Russel does with lefties, you probably aren't worth keeping around with the numbers they have, or will have after acquiring a starter.
  23. Maybe this is stupid but I thought their record was better than they played so far this year and this loss could be a positive in the long run. Too many of their wins have been in overtime and/or shootouts. They did have a pretty decent goal differential (key word "did"), but I thought they were playing more like a 4/5 seed than a potential #1 seed. And maybe this beatdown was a pretty good thing to keep their heads on straight. They beat the crap out of the Canucks last November in Vancouver, but didn't play like that much the rest of the season. Hopefully they can rally off this embarrassment and gain from it in the end.
