    because that pitch is the best curveball in baseball when he can locate it No it's not, it's predictable and overused. when he locates it no one is able to hit it that's why he can strike guys out at a good rate. The key word is when.

    Nope, right middle finger http://ballhype.com/story/cubs_outfielder_soriano_out_3_5_days_with_broken/ you talking about this finger *raises finger to demonstrate*

    That and he went to a team that had been crappy which I beleive Ray didn't. And KG didn't play great in the finals but did his most important job. Rebound and play D. Kobe on the other hand was pretty bad especially the last three games. Yeah, the Kobe/MJ thing is done and over. He wasn't good at all this series. According to Wood Kobe is MJ right now. Kobe is clearly not made of the same stuff MJ was. Micheal took a stranglehold on games when he needed to, while Kobe seemed content to pass the buck. Kobe may well be more talented than Jordan, but he really showed little of what made Jordan great in the finals. Kobe's a great player. Great player. One of the greatest ever. But I question whether we'll ever see another MJ. LeBron is already what MJ was on offense he's pretty far off with the defense but at his age MJ was just coming out of college and LeBron will likely start playing more defense every year. And LeBron has had more team success than MJ had this many years into the league and both had no one to work with. If LeBron gets a Pippen we could see a dynasty.

    Got a problem with ND? read the 2008-09 basketball season thread and you'll find your answer or the Big Ten Network thread

    I feel bad too ... for you being a Michigan fan Your mom your sister

    He likely will be offered a job with a team he will start on and the Cubs have absolutely no need our bench is already packed with guys who do well in pinch hit scenarios.

    hopefully a certain former ND wideout is traded so I don't have to root for him to succeed

    I didn't see the play but it makes me laugh. Why do the Cubs care? One thing I will say is if we want Burnett we shouldn't be pissing of the Blue Jays with petty stuff like this.

    Except he did bunt it well, Percival was coming of an energizing strikeout, and it took a ridiculous play on both the throw (a diving barehander) and the scoop(hit him in the chest) for them to win it. People really need to sit down and think about it or actually see the play.
  11. CubbieBum
    quite the contrary this is the most I've looked forward to watching IU basketball in a long time, maybe ever

    After what Crisp pulled against the Rays a week or two ago I don't ever want to see him in Cub uniform.

    really? It's one of the things I'm looking forward to most. It's like ND football 07. Yeah, I'm one of those crazy fans that hopes his team wins. I'm just one of those normal fans who revel in my rival's torment.

    and this isn't one of them

    Borowski had 3 games where he gave up 14 runs. Take those out and his ERA was around 3. Sure those 3 games blew his teams chance of winning but those 3 games over inflated his performance last year. It really wasnt that bad. 4% of his games pitched throws his entire season off. Okay I take back everything I said, he was just plain boss out there. Who Thigpen, Borowski? One thing I want to get clear is I don't put much weight in the save either. Less than wins and home runs but their is still weight there. When it comes down to it every statistic but a few are pretty heavily team dependent. BA, OBP, ERA, WHIP are the ones I can' think of real quick that are dependent solely on the individual. In order to have the runs record you normally have to bat in the top half and perhaps leadoff and have good enough teammates to bat you around. My main point is no matter how much weight you put into a statistic to be doing it at a record pace when thousands have tried before you is very noteworthy.

    I enjoy the media love - ND's been projected top 5 numerous times - but I don't see them being THAT good. Although if they were, that ND/UCLA matchup would be a-MAZ-ing. Ball State will suck again. Quite the contrary with some actually size I think Ball State might actually be decent in the MAC. That being because the MAC blows chunks right now. Purdue is 8th in that which I think is about right and I would put ND right with them. Both of them are top 5-10 teams right now since they were both top 20 last year and return practically everyone. That is one of the biggest debates to me coming into the season. Who's the best in the basketball state. It can go either way to me. ND has the more consistent, safer, performed well already team while Purdue has the did just as well as ND team last year and with relying on so many freshman could leapfrog past them (especially if JaJuan Johnson has packed on muscle).

    I smell one desperate team.

    Neither do I. The novelty's more or less played out for me. If the only way we get to play the White Sox is to have interleague play then I'll live with the unfair balance of schedules and using the DH. Those series are worth it. That said MLB needs to throw out all the rivalries that aren't really aka keep Chicago, NT, LA, and maybe a couple others (not St. Louis and KC). Everyone else just plays a round robin type scheduling that the NFL does for AFC vs NFC.

    interview was awful because it was pointless they really need to learn to not try to do interviews directly after some wins a championship. They had a 3 second part beeped out because he was cussing. Stop doing the on court interviews during celebrations. They also kept putting a camera up close and personal to the Boston bench late and it was picking up the cuss words so every other second the sound would be cut. Who cares? Those scenes capture the real, raw emotion of the moment. Go ahead and bleep it if you have to, but I want to see what winning the championship really means to a player like KG or PP much, much more than I want to see the sanitized interview 2 hours, or 2 days, later. you can put the camera there and capture the emotion but to ask questions (especially the ones she did ask like what does this feel like) is stupid and actually makes him stop showing his real emotions to try and answer the question.

    ummm what your sarcasm detector is doing it wrong so is yours I was just blowing some back at you. You had already posted in the thread so I figured it was sarcasm.
