FSU shouldn't be playing Charleston to begin with, but that's another can of worms

Roberts took a team that went 92-70 (.568 win pct) and has turned them into what is so far a 79-60 team (.568 win pct). Yay? You are very good at not paying attention to things and commenting on them, lol. I don't think it's because Roberts is doing a magnificent job, or anything, but the Dodgers have been very good despite a lot of major injuries (TT likes to point out that this should've been seen coming when the Dodgers decided to have 15 starters with health concerns). But then the criteria for the award becomes "did better than he should have due to X factors," which penalizes someone like Maddon because "well he had the best team on paper so whatever". It's a silly award whose criteria changes year to year

I don't have near as much a problem with Roberts winning it as I do with Dusty, who is already working his usual magic in Washington. Roberts took a team that went 92-70 (.568 win pct) and has turned them into what is so far a 79-60 team (.568 win pct). Yay?

The preseason poll is the dumbest thing on earth, so I'm OK with these new rankings. I'm talking about the differences between the AP and coaches Well the coaches poll is even dumber than preseason polls
-
If Dave Roberts wins then the award is essentially meaningless

Baseball is not football. There is no such thing as a 4 year rebuild in football. shhhhhh shhhhhh.....let the acceptance of their impending mediocrity flow through you
-
The sooner everyone accepts that the Bears are in their "2011-2014 Cubs" phase, the less stressed about them you'll be
-
still the right call we'll never know, but so far, that move has netted them zero playoff series wins
-
Damn, what a catch -
i was sure the timmons/bullett platoon was gonna do great things I was more of a Kevin Roberson guy
-
Good thing they punted that one season to save his arm

Shohei Ohtani Signs with the Angels
Derwood replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I only brought him up because he was the first guy I thought of where his future position wasn't known when he was drafted. He could've been drafted as either a pitcher or a hitter. And we had him in a sim league and despite giving him gaudy ratings, he basically sucked like in real life His sim version did not kill anyone tho, so he had that going for him And he didn't die mid season like a few if them did -
So the Cubs are just pitching Hammel and Montgomery every other day? Feels like it

Shohei Ohtani Signs with the Angels
Derwood replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Mainly this was my thing. Not to mention that Matt Bush is notorious for other things, like almost killing someone, which makes him an odd guy to bring up.

The look on Maddon's face after that strike 3 to Heyward told everything

what the hell did I just turn on?

Shohei Ohtani Signs with the Angels
Derwood replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
So he's Matt Bush? what the hell I was joking. Bush hit .450 with 11 HR and 35 RBI while also going 5-1 with a 0.73 ERA in his senior year of high school -
Ah, I hadn't read that. Well that should be a horsefeathers show
-
by who? if you aren't sure be certain to tune in early to that week 3 game They play Temple......still not getting you, but I'll tune in
-
not to mention the several millions of parents that name their kid some variation of Muhammed. What's the deal, Mark too bland for you? It's just a dumb name is all
-
You will never be rid of him. Ever
-
just in time for the paterno worship by who?
-
Week 2 and I won't be able to watch again. Might actually see a PSU football game in Week 3
-
Also weird: two different sets of parents had babies and thought "Yasmany/i" was an awesome pick for a name
