    Record to get to .500 - 7-5 Record to have a "winning" season - 8-4
  2. Derwood
    KC or Detroit? There should be a total of 5 series. 2 against the Sox, plus 3 more against other AL Central teams.

    How did this Murton thread turn into a Giles thread?
  4. Derwood
    He's giving us a shout out tonight, from his home, but not on TV :lol:

    Raisin, come to the dark side with me. You'll enjoy it. We'll go to a playoff game together! ;) And then maybe go attend a candlelight vigil for Daryl Kile afterwards.... /one ticket to hell please

    Things are going too well. Surely a crane hoisting a 200 ton beam in 75 mph winds will fall over or something.
  7. Derwood
    All apologies. Your first post looked (to me) like it was simply there to show your signature. Carry on.

    Well the truth is the Cardinals are simply a better baseball team than the Sox. While this matchup could happen, I don't see the Sox making it out of the first round of the playoffs.
  9. Derwood
    Trolling?
  10. Derwood
    I don't see it. Murton and Corey are nothing alike. Well Corey DOES have that shock of red hair...

    The only guarantee is that Baker will bat Barrett last, despite a .290 average and nearly 60 RBI.

    Well, the board software isn't much different at all. Mainly just security enhancements. On the other hand, the advertising scheme is quite different after spending yesterday afternoon on the phone with Google. It was interesting as they actually called me to tell me that I was getting around 1/10th the click throughs of other sport sites. :( Am I the only person who clicks these ads every day? Is it really that hard? The one thing that maybe does hurt though, Tim, is that the Fever Pitch ad is on seemingly 99% of the pages, while the multiple Google Ad is only on the temporary "between hitting submit and seeing your post" screen. I can only individually click that Fever Pitch banner so many times...

    I'm curious where these three rank in that old and busted stat, GWRBI. Anyone still keep track of that one?

    I attended the PSU game today. I was wondering what offensive-minded body snatcher has taken over JoePa's body? 500+ yards of total offense! 300+ yards of passing! 3/4 of the plays from the shotgun? WHAAA? No real test today. Defense dominated, getting 8 sacks. At Northwestern next week to open up the Big Ten schedule. Can't wait!

    It's easy to always be right when you refuse to acknowledge anything you've said previously. As for me, I'm sitting 50 yard line at Beaver Stadium today as the Nittany Lions will likely move to 3-0 at the expense of the Central Michigan Chippewas. And it will be the most meaningless 3-0 ever, as it will have come at the expense of three lousy teams. Next week at Northwestern and the week after at home vs. OSU will tell how good this team actually is.

    Have we clinched the wildcard yet? :shock:
  17. Derwood
    Dayton Moore (see signature, not the gopher from Caddyshack or me in HS) You're the dancing one, right? :wink:
  18. Derwood
    So here we are, new board and......what exactly is different?
  19. Derwood
    I HATE Walker batting 6th. I don't have the numbers, but I feel like he is a better hitter when not put in an RBI slot in the order.
  20. Derwood
    Welly, too. Is Wellmeyer still on the roster? Or is he in the Witness Protection Program with Geovany Soto? I thought Soto was just taking Yosh's job in the clubhouse. Does he even get dressed in uniform before the games? I wouldn't if I were him. Has he seen any playing time at all? Why Hendry even called up Soto, Theriot, Hill, McClain, etc. is a complete mystery. He actually thought Dusty would play these guys?
  21. Derwood
    No game thread today? (9/16)
  22. Derwood
    I wouldn't go so far as to say he "can't hit", but a career .267/.321/.458/.779 line isn't worth $10 million+ . Additionally, he only has 96 career steals. Wrigley's outfield wall would prevent any of those highlight homer-robbing catches as well. I'll take a pass on this one.
  23. Derwood
    Right, pick your poison. BTW, was Rich Aurilia batting cleanup for the Reds not the saddest thing you've seen in awhile (Cubs games not withstanding)?
  24. Derwood
    Hey, I thought the thread title was REALISTIC Cubs Bench options. Realistically, this bench will be: Macias Blanco Cedeno Murton Hairston Only 5 deep because Dusty will insist on 12 pitchers No Neifi because he will be the starting 2B or SS Cedeno and Murton's nice contributions will be rewarded with splinters in their butts from riding the pine. In the meantime, Patterson will again be the opening day CF, whether he deserves it or not. The corner OF spots will be filled by washed up veterans whose best years are behind them. Depressed yet?
  25. Derwood
    BTW, will WGN cut away from the game when Bush addresses the nation tonight?
