Wow, I thought the Cubs were poorly managed. Could be a Diamondbacks-style gutting of veterans here soon in Houston. -
Wow, those are awful! Louisville gets a BCS bowl but Virginia Tech plays in the Gator Bowl? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Anyone think that Penn State can beat Ohio State this Saturday? OSU is coming off a bye week, but PSU is at home. If PSU wins this, holy christ is it going to be nuts here.
-
If the Yanks didn't get ho-slapped by schilling on sunday, this would be a moot point. or how about beating tampa bay just once?
-
nothing we didn't suspect, but you hate to hear these things get closer to confirmation

http://www.suntimes.com/output/cubs/cst-spt-kiley03.html Some of the unfortunate highlights: And then this Baker nugget:
-
Francouer will win because of his hype, while Howard actually had better numbers (and filled in for an injured superstar in Thome). I don't follow the AL enough to even know who is a candidate
-
I agree with the idea that Pujols will win on a "make up call" for the last 2 seasons where he lost to Bonds. It's also about perceived value vs. cold-hard stats. Pujols (and even Jones) are perceived as being more valuable because they play on winning teams. Jones will get quite a few votes since he really excelled at a time when there were 47 rookies on the team. You all give the voters WAY too much credit for statistical analysis. Many probably don't even know what OBP is much less Win shares or VORP

Kirk Rueter Anyone?
Derwood replied to CubbieRich's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Yeah we could get Nen to just hang around too and play I Palindrome I. Ah, shoot, why not bring back Stan Javier, Mark Gardner, Danny Darwin and William van Landingham while we're at it? -
NSBB Survival Football and College Football Pick'em
Derwood replied to NCCubFan's topic in Fantasy Sports
Other two are still in, as one picked TB over DET, the other CIN over HOU :x -
Hey, I'm in that picture! And again MSU finds itself way behind a team they beat in the polls. I'm pretty sure that they erase the memories of the pollsters every week to make sure they are only judging their picks based on yesterday's games.

Kirk Rueter Anyone?
Derwood replied to CubbieRich's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Shortly after signing Rueter, the Cubs will trade Derrek Lee for JT Snow, sign Rich Aurilia, then get Marvin Benard for the bench. :lol: -
Who on the what now?
-
Suicide is hilarious :( In other news, I knew Penn State would be a Top 25 team, but 16? That's a little overzealous I think
-
Perez or Macias getting at-bats, in my mind, falls under Baker, who is not part of the poll
-
Most predictable response by IMB! ever
-
To avoid a poll where everyone votes for Dusty Baker as being the worst thing about 2005, I've disqualified him in lieu of other options.
-
Somehow Dusty actually managed a 1 and 2 in the lineup with a worse combined OBP thant Macias/ Perez. That's un-frigging-believable.
-
if they both keep winning, it'll be a tough thing to do.
-
i totally forgot that monday game. you're right
-
Anyone care to post how they would vote in this week's poll (before the real one comes out?) Here is my take: 1. USC 2. Texas 3. Virginia Tech 4. LSU 5. Florida State 6. Georgia 7. Ohio State 8. Miami 9. Tennessee 10. Alabama 11. Notre Dame 12. California 13. Florida 14. Texas Tech 15. Wisconsin 16. UCLA 17. Boston College 18. Arizona State 19. Michigan State 20. Auburn 21. Penn State 22. Louisville 23. Virginia 24. Georgia Tech 25. Michigan

Cardinal loyalty is an odd thing. Take the death of Darryl Kile for example. While the premature death of any athlete is sad, the fandom of Cardinal Nation acted like the president of the US had died. Candlelight vigils, video retrospectives, etc. All for a guy who was by no means a Cardinal legend. In fact he was only in his 2nd or 3rd season in St Louis. I think Kile's passing was met with more public displays of weeping and genuflecting than Jack Buck's, a man who truly is a legend. I expect no different behavior, however, from Cub fans in the future when it comes to Sosa.

When did we trade Clement again?
