    Why is it that when people defend the sac bunt, they always assume an attempted sac bunt will be a successful sac bunt?
  2. jersey cubs fan
    I was trying to figure out that last part as well. Giants are SB champs (and have a huge following), while STL has been a decent draw over the past decade and was expected to contend this year. What you should be complaining about is what CBS is offering up at the same time, Oakland/KC for half the country.
  3. jersey cubs fan
    Which made no sense to me whatsoever. Why can't he come back in a week and a half and be in the playoffs? Why not two weeks? Why would they set some sort of arbitrary one week cut-off date?

    i would have flipped if he was made to bunt. like i did when Derosa bunted. or like i did last night when soto bunted. Really? And you people call yourselves NL Baseball fans. I call myself a Cubs fan. And since doing something like that is incredibly stupid and detrimental to the Cubs, I don't like it. The fact that it gives old timers stiffies by reminding them of the good ole days when baseball was played the right way makes no difference to me.

    http://www.the506.com/nflmaps/2008-02-FOX.html Does Sam Rosen do every Bears game? The Giants/Rams contest accounts for most of the country.

    Yeah, that's gonna hurt. How old is he? Does he make a comeback or just pack it in and retire? Guy has to be in his mid-30's I'd guess. He's 37. I think his days as an elite closer are pretty much done. He should pack it in. At that age, is it really worth it to come back for a year, maybe two, with possible limited effectiveness? Retire and enjoy the rest of your life, Billy. He'd be able to enjoy the rest of his life more if he didn't retire, and kept taking the Mets $10.5m next year.
  7. jersey cubs fan
    I would agree he's got a chance, at least for his prime years, to produce at, or just above, the 800 OPS level.
  8. jersey cubs fan
    It's a mailbag, quite tame, and quite lame.
  9. jersey cubs fan
    I think 7-9 and 9-7 teams are all very similar. There are some 7 win teams on the way up and some 9 win teams on the way down. But there's a fairly signficant difference between 6 and 10 wins. It's not just chance.
  10. jersey cubs fan
    Yeah, and so what. You were still overstating the notion that all that stands between 6 wins and 10 is 4 plays. Teams come out of nowhere, but there's usually a reason. Detroit didn't win 10 last year. Cleveland got a tremendous upgrade in offensive line play and solid quarterbacking. They didn't luck themselves into 4 plays for that improvement. Tennessee winning 2 more games than the year before proves absolutely nothing. You are insinuating that 10 wins is just a few lucky breaks away. It's not nearly that simple.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    I think you are really overstating it there. There are plenty of teams every year that don't have a legit shot for 10 wins. Every year there's at least 1 team that comes of out nowhere and does well. Think of last years Lions team. They were not very good but they almost made it to 10 wins. The Ravens 2 years ago ( I think) were the same way. Yes, there's one team that comes out of nowhere, that doesn't mean everybody is a couple breaks from 10 wins. Detroit was so close to 10 they got 7, and they were lucky to get there.

    Hasn't Edmonds been pretty good despite his low BA recently? An .880 OPS in August and a 1.122 so far in September. A 653 OPS in the last 14 days. And again, a 1.122 in the past 7. I can do the small sample size thing, too. The guy's production has been declining from his midsummer high, but he's far from a black hole at this point. Now if he posts a .700 OPS for the entire month of September, then I'll worry. But as long as there is a strict platoon, I don't see it being a serious issue. I understand, I wasn't trying to say much with that other than, his past month has been a bit of up and down. He's disappeared a couple times, but seems to wake up with a big game now and then. I think the rest is good for him.

  15. jersey cubs fan
    oh really? i hadnt been paying attention to the Mets Yeah, he's been out for a long time and the Phillies haven't taken much advantage. His last game was August 2nd, when he blew a save and lost. Philly was 1.5 up then, and are 1.5 down now.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    I thought Payne looked pretty lost at times on Sunday. That's definitely the weak link of the defense. It's possible to survive the loss of Brown, if he's the only loss. But what I'm worried about is multiple injuries. Brown + just about anybody else could be a disaster, or at the very least, weaken them to the point where they are just barely above average defense. This team still needs a dominant D to go anywhere.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    As do I. Defensive injuries and a collapse by the offensive line are probably the two easiest ways for this team to stumble. I'm also a little concerned with their boisterous response to proving skeptics wrong. If they need that attitude to play with an edge, fine, but I think their cockiness played a role in the team suffering last year. Hopefully they stay a little bitter for the rest of the year.

    Adding guys to the 40 man right now doesn't mean there won't be spots available for the rule 5.

    What's Josephine got going on? obsolescence

    Did you see the weird story about Fisher calling the cops after fearing for Vince Young's emotional well being?
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Haven't started bye weeks yet, and most of them are western games. With no NY team playing in prime time, one of them always plays at 4pm.

    What sort of weather are you expecting Ike to create in Tampa on Sunday? Heavy wind and rain. But, it's sounding like Florida might be in the clear from this storm. Maybe I will take Tampa. I have a few more days before I need to submit my pick. http://www.accuweather.com/forecast-15day.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=1&zipChg=1&zipcode=33601&metric=0 Every forecast I've seen has Ike in Mexico or Texas by Sunday.

    Only one early game involving 2 undefeated teams, and it's 2 of the 3 biggest underdogs from week 1. I wonder if Fox is considering making it the featured game of the week. Doubtful, but there aren't any other games that are obviously more interesting. I could see Indy/Minnesota being the featured game, as both were expected to contend this year and probably still are, and one of them will go 0-2. AFC road team means CBS game.
