  1. i'm probably only going to watch sunday's game. Debate tonight, PSU/Illini tomorrow night
  2. i knew that was coming. OSU fans have never done that to Michigan fans by the way. nope, not once
  3. no couple got screwed out of anything. There are far more babies available for adoption than there are families to adopt them.
  4. or you could put our ACTUAL backup 2b (Fontenot) at second.
  5. I'll take the Brewers throwing 3 straight perfect games at us this weekend if it means no more hurt players.
  6. The first game I went to period was when I was 3 or 4. Veteran's stadium, Phillies vs. Reds. Tom Seaver pitched (he was, for some reason, my "favorite" player as a preschooler). Possibly this game: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PHI/PHI197906150.shtml
  7. sorry if this was posted elsewhere
  8. my sample size argument was just to point out that one 5-5 game does not make him "the guy". I don't really like Daryle Ward that much, so if Hoffpauir replaced him as a late inning PH guy, great. But let's not start pretending like Hoffpauir should start every game. I know his numbers have been great in AAA, but so were Pie's, Dubois', etc., etc. prove me wrong, Micah, prove me wrong
  9. so all of you non-Illinois guys who got tickets.....how many are actually going to the game and how many are selling them off?
  10. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN199304250.shtml April 25, 1993 Reds score 1 in the top of the first, then nothing at all until the Cubs score 2 in the bottom of the 9th for the victory. Frank Castillo gives up 1 run and 3 hits in 7 1/3 but gets the ND.
  11. Or the 2005 Orange Bowl. was there a game-winning statue of liberty play by a team from Idaho in that one too?
  12. *re-watches highlights of 2007 Fiesta Bowl*
  13. sample size
  14. I had the quarter system through undergrad and grad school. You end up with 2 fewer weeks of school, but getting summer jobs sucks when you're competing with semester students
  15. as awesome as my town last weekend?
  16. you take it back too. I said Sorta
  17. I was sorta hoping that Oregon St. would have to forfeit because the douche bag fans are invading the playing surface
  18. I can't believe this is the same team that Penn State annihilated two weeks ago
  19. this was my dilemma as well. All the "lock" games had the better team on the road, which smells like a trap to me
  20. Get away games should be 1:30pm starts 100% of the time.
  21. I went with "Whichever team is playing St. Louis" for the 3rd straight week. At some point, i need to go another direction though. St. Louis is horrible, but they aren't going 0-16
  22. I agree wholeheartedly with the last sentence above. I'll never get the desire for people, Cubs fans no less, not to get behind him 100 percent. He doesn't get on in the 10th, we don't win. Period. Sure, obsess over his imperfections, but he's had a great season, and any notion to "bench" Theriot is absurd. I can take or leave Cedeno, but he sure strikes me as a dumb player most of the time. Theriot has worked his butt off to maximize his talent and had a fine year. I, too, don't understand why so many posters are against him. I'm not "aganst" him, but I want the Cubs to upgrade SS if possible. Cedeno isn't that upgrade, but Theriot's age, sub-Neifi/Pierre levels of power, terrible defense and horrible baserunning meas he should be the backup in 2009 for, ideally, whoever the Cubs find as their new starting SS. depending on the new ownership, SS is likely a position the Cubs will be happy to have filled on the cheap next year
  23. Survival football is dicey this week. a lot of trap games in there.
  24. as for Minnesota in October, it's no worse than Chicago in April: http://home.att.net/~minn_climo/mspoctt.gif
