    McGee and John Candelaria were the missing links. Rivaled by Jon Lieber, Gary Gaetti and Zane Smith But I'll stop threadjacking this into another "Ugliest Ballplayer" discussioon

    That would be much better. I would be willing to pay $3-$5 a game if I can just watch them when I want/when I can instead of shelling out $150 for EI and missing half the games

    The NFL channel has everything but actual games

    Hasta mañana Nomar!

    Not anymore. Overpaying to bring back two players who sucked butt last year is asinine. A competent GM would have sent them a Christmas ham and wished them well in their pursuit of employment elsewhere

    I liked baseball a lot when I was in elementary school, especially when I lived in Racine in '81 and '82 (Robin Yount's Brewers went to the WS) I fell out of it while I grew up in State College, mostly because College Football is the big thing here and my friends all hated baseball I moved to Chicago in '92 for college, and at that time, Cubs games were a fairly cheap form of entertainment, and tickets were plentiful day-of-game. Plus, I started playin in sim leagues with fellow dorm-dwellers, which really gets you into stats and players. i've been a fan ever since

    quick, find me 3 other "backup" infielders making $2.5 mil/year And Dusty will insure this "backup" gets 500 plate appearances

    I see that the systematic rebuilding of a 79 win team has taken another step forward :roll:

    The kid next year is Anthony Morelli, a highly touted recruit who had verbally comitted to Pitt but then came to PSU instead. Paterno stupidly wasted a year on him by bringing him into a meaningless game last year, so he'll be a Junior in 2006. Still, that's 2 years with him and the freshman receiving corps (Williams, Butler, King). He's much more of a drop back, pocket passer. Robinson is a poor man's Vince Young/Marcus Vick, while Morelli is much more of a Peyton Manning style passer (and if he's 5% as good as Manning, we'll be in good shape)

    Those were two crappy teams that played that day. I never would have believed that we'd likely finish with a Big Ten record above .500 and Penn State would be talking BCS. Had PSU lost that game (to NU) they probably would've finished 7-4 or 6-5. I really believe that

    God forbid PSU play Miami. I hate Miami, and it's a great game in concept, but I think the Lions would get "Hokied" in the Orange Bowl
  13. Derwood
    Yes, and PSU is #3 overall by the computers, ahead of Bama and Miami
  14. Derwood
    no kidding! Wow, Miami is .0009 behind Alabama right now
  15. Derwood
    I think when the new standings come out today, you'll see Miami at #3

    Not important to the ACC title, but both teams are fighting for bowl eligibility
  17. Derwood
    Don't forget CC Sabathia http://espn.go.com/i/mlb/profiles/players/6603.jpg I'll add: Antonio Alfonseca Kyle Farnsworth Anthony Young Mike Piazza Raul Mondesi Juan Gonzalez Jose Lima Derek Bell
  18. Derwood
    because my team really sucks. i have 3 rookies that NEVER play Holy crap I won! Captain Kirk is saving my butt

    If Northwestern could pull off the upset of OSU, Penn State would clinch the Fiesta Bowl without even playing
  20. Derwood

    Oregon is too low right now. I didn't list every one-loss team (I left off Texas Tech as well as a few others)
  22. Derwood
    Agreed. I think Bama will lose one of it's next 3 games, but USC and Texas look too damn good right now
  23. Derwood
    I think Alabama will lose to either LSU or Auburn (or both), leaving just 2 unbeatens. If either USC and/or Texas get upset, we'll have at least on 1-loss team in the Rose Bowl. So, which team is most deserving to go (at this point)?
  24. Derwood
    Hone$tly...you're confu$ed? This a thing that really bugged me. ESPN gave the final scores for all the top 25 teams and then the rest. The only time they put up stats was for ND and Quinn. When did you see that? I saw stats for Vince Young, Brad Smith, and a few others on College Gameday Final. Yeah, that's not true. They DID run Calhoun's miserable day for WISC as the stat for the PSU/WISC game instead of Robinson's great day (lame)
  25. Derwood
    If PSU plays ND in the Fiesta, that would be fun. I think it would be a very good game. Plus it's a warmup for playing in the regular season next year!
