you take it back too. I said Sorta
-
I was sorta hoping that Oregon St. would have to forfeit because the douche bag fans are invading the playing surface
-
I can't believe this is the same team that Penn State annihilated two weeks ago
-
this was my dilemma as well. All the "lock" games had the better team on the road, which smells like a trap to me
-
Get away games should be 1:30pm starts 100% of the time.
-
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

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

Survival football is dicey this week. a lot of trap games in there.

as for Minnesota in October, it's no worse than Chicago in April: http://home.att.net/~minn_climo/mspoctt.gif -
THAT'S FOR VICTOR DIAZ!!!

NSBB needs a Royal Rumble
-
consider it passing the mantle of utter failure from our team to theirs. it makes you feel better
-
christ these Mets fans are ugly. make fun of wrigley all you want, at least we have some quality tail
-
Ryan McDoubleClutchy to the rescue
-
put Howry in and go home
-
i'll believe this schedule when it's official. i suspect things will change a bit
-
Piniella is going to drink Shark's milkshake when he gets back to the dugout
-
NO WAY! IT WILL GO ON HIS PERMANENT RECORD!

Must be nice. yeah, sitting home and not making any money is totally worth getting to see first round playoff baseball. :banghead: you take a lot of crap for it, but if i could find a wife who was able to provide enough money for me to live the way i want to live and was willing to let me stay at home... screw it, i'd be all over that. Ditto. I'd rather be with my kids than work at most any job unless it was my dream job. There are pluses and minuses to it. The pros include being with the kids (rather than having a daycare shoulder the child raising responsibilities), the time to get things done during the day that double-income parents have to do at night or on weekends (which means more family time when the wife is home), etc. The cons are that while my wife makes enough money to pay the bills, we aren't really saving much for the future and don't have much extra money to go on vacations, concerts, sporting events and the like. I also don't have a lot of contact with other adults, which can drive you crazy after awhile. My job back in PA was great because it was part time, paid pretty decently, and gave me a nice escape from the parenting world (not to mention that it was the most fun job I've ever had). I am working on getting a job here that might provide the same level of satisfaction.... -

Huh? When did that happen? (The NFL thing) when ABC had it a couple of years ago ABC was still doing MNF a couple years ago, and their entire production staff is essentially run by the same people at ESPN. I don't see how that is a problem. ha ha ha, woops. You know what I was thinking of? FOX doing the BCS games in college football. Sorry, not enough coffee this morning. Ok...you had me really confused. Anyways, the point is that every sport makes terrible decisions with their broadcasting because all they can see are $$$$$. Sell the rights to the highest bidder, quality be damned. The FOX college football thing is especially terrible, as you suddenly have commentators and analysts who haven't done a college game all year covering the most important games of the season. Fan favorites like Gus Johnson, Brad Nessler and Kirk Herbstreit are blocked out of the best games, etc.

I love when I don't care that the Cubs lost. A mostly forfeit lineup vs. the Mets ace and most of the runs scored off of guys who won't sniff the postseason roster. yawn

that wasn't the worst of that year either. We then went down to Houston and blew a game when Terry Mulholland turned a routine grounder to the mound into a run-scoring error when he lobbed the ball over Grace's head at first base
