  1. ichiro, kosuke...who cares? for 12+ years the Bulls announcers called Jordan "Michael" about 99% of the time during broadcasts. it's just a name
  2. the Yankees can afford incredibly dumb contracts.
  3. I think Oregon, but I think we'll get to see it settled on the field. thats the problem....its a 45-55 split game. it wont be settled on the field... and LSU would basically be playing a home game in NOLA
  4. probably. and if they beat Oregon or Oklahoma, there will be no doubt
  5. Penn State beats St. Francis by 10 without Jamel Cornley.
  6. i love Penn State, but the Big Ten powers that be are really starting to piss me off - mandated 12 game schedule with no bye weeks - worst officials in the country - these gems of non-con games for 2008 (not all announced) - Illinois - Mizzou, UL-Lafayette, E. Illinois - Indiana - didn't find it - Iowa - Maine, Fla. Intl. Iowa St. Pitt - Michigan - Utah, Miami (OH), ND, Toledo - Michigan St. - California, E. Michigan, Fla Atl., ND - Minnesota - TBD MAC school, Bowling Green, Montana St., Fla Atl. - Northwestern - didn't find it - Ohio St. - Youngstown St., Ohio, USC, Troy - Penn St. - Coastal Carolina, Arkansas St., Syracuse - Purdue - didn't find - Wisconsin - Akron, Fresno St., Marshall Wow, amazing. I count, let's see, Mizzou, Cal, USC....yep, three decent teams in the lot. Maybe Notre Dame if they get their crap together. If the Big Ten wants people to stop calling it weak, maybe it's AD's should get together and decide to go play real teams rather than pay $500k to a division II school to come and get their ass beat
  7. What do you mean by full season? As a starter? I'd have no interest in either starting. However, given Fontenot's numbers vs RHP this year, .297/.358/.423, I would think he'd be able to at least come close, if not exceed, Infante's career .257/.301/.387 line, as a part-time player. Fontenot v. RHP June: .410/.449/.689 Every other month: .239/.318/.289 What site did you find those numbers at? I was trying to find that breakdown earlier, but couldn't. Thanks in advance. probably baseball-reference.com. go down the page to "Splits" and pick "2007", then scroll down to the month-by-month section
  8. so pretty much never follow it, eh? Ouch. You're right, though, it's pretty bad when halfway through the season, you're just hoping for 6 wins and a bowl bid. (Born and raised in Iowa City so not talkin smack) Btw Derwood, when was the last time PSU won the big ten? It's only been a few years for us :lol: when was the last time you won the national championship? ;)
  9. got that one right in the Predictions contest (and it was a total guess)
  10. so pretty much never follow it, eh?
  11. Our soldiers dont deserve to be depicted this way, its beyond upseting its sickening. Cuban funded the production of this movie to the tune of 5 million dollars. He's done some backtracking on it lately though and had pieces of it edited. because this never happens in the US military, right?
  12. i won't deny that Florida's schedule is better than, say, Penn State's (which it is). but 3 losses is still 3 losses. if you went 6-6 would you say you're better than a 9-3 because the schedule was tough? no
  13. jacksonville is neutral for Florida? HAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA
  14. that is a tough non-con. why can't Penn State schedule that way? there are times i wish PSU was independent again. back when i first started watching, they'd have schedules including Miami (FL), Alabama, Syracuse, Pitt, Rutgers, Notre Dame, Texas, West Virginia, etc. The AD here is lame
  15. Cubs swap Jones for Infante, pay Jones Salary - $1M, board jeers So, we trade Jones for Infante an 1 million salary relief...ok, that's dumb. no, we get ~$3.5M in salary relief
  16. Are you serious? Stafford outplayed him. Yes. The game proved that he's the most important player in the country. sure, give it him and continue the rich tradition of heisman winners who did squat on sundays
  17. if money weren't a factor, would people rather have Cedeno/Theriot/Fontenot or Matsui/Infante?
  18. You must be kidding me with that line up. Luis Gonzalez in right is a huge down grade defensively. He could barely play left field this year how is he going to play right for us next year? And even if we were to sign kendall, which we wont, it would be as a back up. Soto starts the season for sure. And what happened to DeRosa did he disappear? anyways this isnt a bad trade but being a realist I dont see much more beyond us signing Fukudome. Its nice to dream about multiple trades but they usually dont happen. If anything it might open up a trade for cedeno which wont net all that much in return. your sarcasm meter needs to be tuned. no way i want this lineup. this was the "worst case scenario Hendry lineup"
  19. I heard a kid using this phrase yesterday trying to be serious and I barely was able to stop myself from punching him in the face. oh snap
  20. "team record plus where game is played" is a weak indicator of SOS. I prefer the CBB RPI formula
  21. The list I used was sorted by the top 50 VORP for 2007. Yes, Andruw was that bad last year. true, but guessing where he lands is more interesting than guessing on Ron Mahay or Jamey Wright
