  1. Because clearly the Cubs have Grady Sizemore as an option. Soriano is an eminently reasonable choice to lead off given the resources at hand. who said sizemore was an option? i'm simply asking what people would prefer if given two options with identical OPS+ : higher OBP/lower SLG or lower OBP/higher SLG So what point are you trying to make? If we had Sizemore in CF and Soriano in LF, are you seeing if anyone would suggest that batting Soriano 1st makes sense? i don't even remember anymore. something to do with Meph pulling out Ryan Freel as a "leadoff" guy that anyone with half a brain wouldn't want on the team instead of a comparable player to Soriano in the leadoff debate
  2. Bowden and Paterno will stop coaching when they want to stop coaching. no AD wants to be "that guy" who fired a coaching legend
  3. I completely agree with you

  5. no but uk losing to florida is fine because uk beat l'ville, uk beat lsu who beat vt. this isn't something that is hard to understand. if a conference performs better when they play out of conference, then when they play in conference there's a better argument for beating up on each other. the sec did fine out of conference, so when the play each other they beat up on each other. the little ten laid an egg outside of conference, so when they play each other its crap over crap. this is idiotic. so, because Michigan lost to App. State, none of their Big 10 wins mean anything?
  6. Say what you will about Griese, but there is absolutely a 0% chance that Grossman could have manufactured that scoring drive w/o radio communication (or even with it)
  7. ah, so #6 South Carolina losing to Vanderbilt is fine because Florida didn't almost lose to Western Kentucky. that's watertight logic
  8. for the reading impaired. i said nothing of non-conference play. discuss
  9. I had a winning record this year, so i have to keep that rolling next year
  10. At least they can still get the Led out. And have "2 fer" Tuesdays Mandatory Metallica?
  11. I'm waiting for an SEC homer to explain to me again why the Big Ten and Big East and Big 12 beating up on each other = weak conferences but the SEC beating up on each other = OMGBESTCONFERNCEEVAR!!11!1!
  12. :shock:
  13. is there an early line on the PSU/O$U game?
  14. Illinois gives up waaaaaayyyy too many long third down conversions. they learned that when they watched how Penn State's defense played against them :(
  15. USC is not a good football team
  16. Dammit OSU.....this team is going to cremate Penn State next week.
  17. how about we replace Freel with Sizemore? .277/.390/.462 Higher OBP, lower SLG, OPS+ just 1 point behind Soriano (122 vs. 123) Who would you rather have leading off?
  18. I would like to thank the Hoosiers for putting the ball on the ground 3 times in the 2nd half.
  19. who didn't see that coming?
  20. at least someone is straight about it. Thank you Tim
  21. this is the crux of it, yes. and some of the people being made fun of wouldn't be thrilled to know
