  1. Isn't he the guy who has had multiple stupid tweets?
  2. It's more like a bird in the hand is worth more than an egg in the bush.
  3. It's hardly a stretch to assume other teams will highly rate your prospects prior to seeing them play in the major leagues. That being said, if you really wanted to, it wouldn't be hard to give such a player a little experience even if you theoretically have "too many" players at a position.
  4. I think you are getting ahead of yourself here. There's no way he's already set for corner OF.
  5. Well obviously, because people don't actually follow the "no arms in the top ten" rule.
  6. Yes thank you. I'm sick of seeing it the old way and having to figure out myself who the Wild Card teams were. Makes sense, but then how do the seeds work? Does it re-seed after the first round? I'm pretty sure that they keep it within the division* for the second round. Chicago would play COL in the first round then STL, assuming STL won. *The wild card teams may or may not actually be divisional opponents, as they will just be thrown into a matchup with a division winner based on who has the most/least points.
  7. I understand the sentiment. But at this point, what hitter would you draft over hoffman/rodon? The one they think is the best. It's February, I'm not allowed to have an opinion on specific draft prospects. EDIT: For reference, you can copy/paste this to last year and replace the names with Appel/Manaea to get the same general sentiment. The Cubs do seem to be sticking to that mantra. Can't say I blame them considering the injury risk on the pitching side, but there has to be a pitcher good enough that they would make an exception. Maybe not in this draft but there has to be a profile that would just be too good to pass up. It will be fun watching the candidates try this year. Not sure it would be a pitcher good enough to make an exception but rather a lack of hitters good enough to justify passing up the arms. I wouldn't make it such a hard and fast rule, but something more like, when in doubt, take the bat. I take Bryant 100 times in a row with Grey or any arm on the board. You can't just arbitrarily pass on the best arm in the draft to take the 10th best bat that is clearly a step or three down from the pitcher.
  8. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/standings/?show=wildcard The media seems to be having trouble figuring out the best way to list the standings/playoff scenarios with the new set-up. This is the first time I've seen it this way and it makes the most sense to me.
  9. I did the same thing, mostly came down to whoever showed me how to do either. I'm a natural lefty, so I learned to write that way in school. Almost everything else, people just showed me how to do it righty, so I learned it righty. Same here. Disappointed too since when I do swing and actually make contact LH I have a lot more power. I can throw a football a decent distance with a spiral LH also, so I'm pretty sure that is what I was supposed to be. How is your handwriting? terrible
  10. Pat Kirwan ‏@PatKirwanCBS 8m top 3 DT's for a 4-3 def know as '3 tech' Aaron Donald, Timmy Jernigan, Will Sutton in my opinion..a good yr to get one!

  12. why? I assume:

  14. What she didn't say is he put on 20 pounds in the fall.
  15. That is the most bizarre support for a sport being the greatest game. Because the practice environment is very laid back? I'm glad you took my post literally as was clearly intended by the totally not made up and serious scenario of a baseball team having a super bowl party and coming up with the idea of spring training and banging college girls out of boredom. You're in mid-season form. Some might say the best shape of your life. Obviously the details within the post were silly nonsense, but the general sentiment that baseball is great because of spring training seemed earnest to me. Being a complete dick, however, clearly keeps you in everyday of your life form.
  16. Super happy I traded for him in my keeper league a couple years ago. He holds a special place on my bench. Man, that trade ended up super crappy for both parties. http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/19gek701i10eojpg/ku-xlarge.jpg

  18. lots of action in this. must be an amazing atmosphere live
  19. Somewhere between dunston and Gretzky
  20. Do you want us to prove to you that you actually can see him being successful, or do you want him to prove to you that he can be successful? I don't have high hopes for the experiment, partially because I don't see anything resembling top end defensive coaching available to Shea. But I can see it working out.
  21. As delicious as that wrong sandwich you vomit out of your mouth every time you speak?
  22. This is rich. Richly accurate, like nothing you've ever said.
  23. David continues to be wrong about as often as kyle.
  24. 4-4 doesn't seem right in first OT, but it sure has opened things up.
