Week 2 - Chicago Bears vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, 3:15 PM CBS
laurens replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
This isn't starting out too well... -
since I know you don't have any natural allegiances being from where you are from, so you should be a Saints fan. It's alot like being a Cubs fan. I've kinda started liking both the Giants and Saints. good man, those are both of my teams. I went to school with Eli Manning, so I've become a big Giants fan because of it. They're actually the only 2 teams that I've ever seen on TV. I saw the Giants on BBC2 in the super bowl 2 years ago, and wanted them to win to wipe the smirks off the Pats' faces. I then saw the Saints play at Wembley on BBC2 a year later and I dunno, I liked them more than the Chargers.

3rd even!

Haha Kolb throws his 2nd interception of the game

Haha 97 yd INT return TD, 48-22 NO. Just piling it on now :lol:
-
Remember they closed 07 with a bad stretch too. They one like one game in their last 8 or something like that. This is going to b their 19th consecutive loss. In 07 they ended badly but won their second to last game.

The Lions are not going to win again this season, it seems.
-
So this Brees guy is pretty good
-
QFT

Fantastic.
-
First pitch swinging FTL
-
Dempster vs. Cards offense does not have a good outlook. And is it just me or does Dempster look like Louis CK?
-
He hasn't had a great season, but he hasn't had a bad one either.
-
Voila, survey taken.

That's because he isn't a power bat, and never has been. He's only hit more than 20 homers in a season once, and that was last season in Arlington. His OPS+ is 100 right now, the lowest it's been in 7 years. I'm pretty sure he'll rebound next year. A 1-2 of Fukudome and Bradley would be one of the best tops of the line-up in baseball. They're both very high OBP guys but still have the strength to hit for some power.
-
I don't really [expletive] care why he's bounced from team to team. People are concentrating on all the bad things he says. I've read numerous interviews where he says the fans at Wrigley are awesome, and that he loves playing there. he knows it's just a few rotten apples that keep booing him. Hey, if I were a baseball player and I went 3-4 in a game and people still booed me on that one out, I'd be pretty pissed too.
-
Aaahhh....there's that evil media..... Are there any Cub fans out there that think that maybe Bradley is just an ass, which would explain why he's bounced around so many teams? Or is there some sort of evil conspiracy to make him look like the bad guy? So are you saying the media has nothing to do with the fact that Bradley isn't generally liked by the public?
-
Not even that, he pissed off some sports writers who then got some of the fans to hate him. I, for one, love Bradley and hope he stays.

It's not that it's worthless, it's that it's not of much use when trying to predict what a player is capable of doing in the future. A guy with 100 RBI this season with two guys with .400 OBPs hitting ahead of him may drive in 50 runs with two guys posting .250 OBPs in front of him next year. Unlike rate stats (OBP, SLG, OPS, EqA, etc), RBI is very dependent on the rest of the lineup, not just the individual player. For that reason, you can't use RBI to reliably predict a player's future production. I never said you could i'm just sick of some of the people on here defending Bradley and his OBP that say he's been productive; Bradley is being paid $10 million a year to drive in runs, not get on base, and he's been an epic failure in my opinion That post is an epic failure. So explain to me how a guy batting barely .200 with RISP is having a good season? he's had plenty of chances to get runs home and has not produced; i will give you that the OBP has been good but is it worth 10 million? Right now Bradley has been worth 5.7 million dollars this season. That's not the 10 million he's being paid (which I never said he has been worth, by the way), but that is by no means an "epic failure".

Removing Bradley will improve the team also no. Who are you gonna put in RF?
