  1. ESPN has this incredibly stupid thing going where they are predicting each week in college football. As of mid-november, they still have like 7 undefeated teams
  2. If you have mlb.tv or know anyone who does they can get the entire game video and then you can cut out the part you want. Edit: I'm very jealous that you were there and I wasn't. :) i signed into my mlb.tv account but cant' find where the archived games are.
  3. i mostly read when i travel, which isn't often.
  4. why are we arguing over a fan vote of an all time idiotic award?
  5. games like this skew one's pythag record, eh?
  6. i would bet that blanco catches Z today
  7. i would like to thank my kids for sleeping in this morning, as i was up till 1am watching this one
  8. newspaper officially said Big Ten network will launch on DirecTV on channel 220. Sweet
  9. A sweep of Milwaukee would really be a nail in their coffin
  10. while i feel good that the team hasn't rolled over and given up late in games, i'm discouraged by the offense's inability to grab leads early. Oh well, they've won 5 of 6. Let's keep it rolling!
  11. i think they said that either 40 or 43 is the record for runs in a double header
  12. this whole thread is clouded by a heaping does of Cubs homerism mixed in with anti-announcer-Morgan sentiment.
  13. they swing harder
  14. I know, and the Big East already won!!!* *West Virginia was named the #1 party school for 2007
  15. I pretty much don't like anyone in our OF outside of Soriano. If we have an OF of Soriano/Pie/Murton next year, we better have A-Rod at SS, or else we'll have a rough lineup
  16. Garrett Anderson is the epitome of "average" career .296/.326/.469, OPS+ 105 only 2 1/2 seasons of OPS+ over 105. 4 under 100. BLEH
  17. Is there an update on whether or not Big Ten Network will be on standard DirecTV? The first PSU game is slated for it.
  18. two words: Rafael Palmeiro
  19. Kendall may end up being the Gary Gaetti of 2007
  20. i guess my friend's impression was that it was all very shiny and clean and nice but lacked personality (besides what it's designers ripped off from better stadiums). I've never been, so I can't really verify those observations
  21. Like I posted before, Marquis was even better with the Cardinals his first two years that what he has been with the Cubs this year. The Cardinals are too lucky to have him struggle that badly for a year with them, though. There would have been some sort of divine intervention that helped him right his path. They already had turned him around. He posted ERA+ of 82 and 75 in his final two years with the Braves. 2004 and 2005 have nothing to do with it. Marquis having a down year in 2006? Possible. But being the worst starter in the NL? Very unlikely. And for the Cardinals, no less? Inexplicable. I think you're missing the point, man: the Cards are protected by a magical aura that prevents them from suffering from the problems and distractions that normal, mortal teams are exposed to. Marquis 2006 season defies logic. Is this even debatable? how about winning the World Series despite having the worst starter in the NL on the team? Oh wait, they didn't put him on the playoff roster in favor of another starter who is nearly as bad but suddently was cy young inthe playoffs
  22. I really need to get to SF for a game at AT & T. my best friend went and was thoroughly unimpressed
  23. It's sad to us because it's so ridiculous how this keeps happening. You can feel free to come up with counter-examples from our own team though. :wink: Matt Clement, Joe Borowski, Sammy Sosa, Jon Lieber, Mark Bellhorn, Ryan Dempster, Michael Barrett, and I'm sure many, many more. kevin tapani? of course, we were the place where closers came to die for awhile (Jones, Rojas, Alfonseca, Aguilera, etc.)
