    yes, there's also the regular season, which concludes with teams like indy, gb and dallas sitting a lot of their regulars for the last week or two because they're already locked into their playoff spot. 95% of people who don't want a college football playoff (16 teams, say) feel that way not because they think a playoff would be boring, but because it would cheapen what is the most important "regular season" in major sports. and I contend that it the regular season being so "important" is ruining what could be a good thing And I can't figure out why it's more important to have an important regular season than an important postseason. Seems to me like sports are played to win in the postseason primarily, so why cheapen that to make the regular season more important? i made this point before, but i think that the importance on the regular season (this season being the exception) usually kills your team's chances for a title really early. If USC, for example, loses to OSU in the first few weeks next year, they may be eliminated from title contention. It would be like being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs in April of the baseball season

    vizquel's offensive numbers are as much a result of longevity as being particularly good

    Sosa skips out on it again. what a selfish prick

    it's unhealthy for the veteran's committee to be stocked with players who don't want anyone else at their position voted in (Morgan, Schmidt, etc.)

    i'm not sure how anyone can objectively look at Blyleven's stats and NOT vote for him

    Have fun with 2 years of special teams coverage Justin. if only you were as good as you think you are

    these playoffs demonstrate why I would love a college football playoff. Is San Diego a better team than Indy? are the Giants better than Dallas? maybe not in the long term, but for one day they were, which created excitement, upsets, etc. now add in the passion of college football fans and you have an amazing thing

    i just came to ask vance for pics from the game....glad you all beat me to the snark

    yep, he was the guy we helped train and arm so that Afghanistan could fight off those pesky Russians

    Sean Lee is staying at PSU \:D/

    i love all the bitter faces in this thread. the Patriots are just better than everyone.

    just read the recap of the game. apparently PSU gave up a 16 point second half lead, mostly by shooting about 40% free throws (and missing 9 of their last 10). Way to go

    Wrigley Gum would only be getting a free ride if their were ads for their products all over the stadium but weren't paying for them

    Good for the Patriots. If the Bears are out of the picture, might as well root for history

    penn state loses by 3 at home to tubby's gophers. :x

    WGN (nor any other baseball related network) travels with their own cameras, so they are limited by what the other stadiums have in terms of equipment. until everyone is equipped with the HD cameras, its not worth bringing your HD production truck with you

    has anyone considered that if the Cubs upgraded at SS instead of 2B, that Lou would start Theriot at 2B and STILL keep DeRosa as the sub?
  20. Derwood
    Maybe it's just me, but NSBB is just crawling today

    I assume HD on WCIU will man it will look a little more like a broadcast from the late 90's rather than one from the early 80's

    Phelps 2008: .297/.378/.501, 27 HR, 99 RBI

    ERA+ : Lieber 2006: 95 Lieber 2007: 98 Marquis 2006: 74 Marquis 2007: 101 so Lieber was way better in 06, while 07 was a coin flip

    in two full seasons, Melky has yet to crack the 100 OPS+ mark.

    Dawson is definitely iffy. People say "if he hadn't ruined his knees on the astroturf...." but guess what, he did. You can't "what if" everyone with a questionable resume. Dawson is a career .323 OBP and .805 OPS (119 OPS+). His numbers are almost entirely SLG driven (his OBP in his MVP year was .328). I dunno, I'm not sold
