    Somebody beat you to that.Premium Non-Premium

    He'll actually have that injury while he's putting on the uniform for the first time. :D

    as long as you competed within the division. Exactly .500 within the division, exactly .500 against the West, exactly .500 against the East playoff teams (winning both against HBC, losing both against GHS, and splitting against Raw Dawgs). That's consistency.

    At least I finished .500 after two losing seasons and beat my combined win total from my two previous seasons. Mediocrity rocks! :lol:

    I wouldn't either, especially since Kentucky has home field advantage. I expect Louisville to win, but I think it will be competitive.

    http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/scorecard/08/05/interviews/p1_mora_Elsa.jpg Playoffs? Don't talk about playoffs. Are you kidding me? Playoffs? I'm just hoping we can win a game, another game.

    I'd love for them to hire Hendry. That way we wouldn't have to wait for new ownership to get rid of him.
  8. NCCubFan
    Interesting these threads still say boxes (plural) when only one team is still playing. :D
  9. NCCubFan
    Yogi, is that you? :D

    Says one Lord to another. :D

    No, they shouldn't have used Eyre. It was still only a 3-run lead in the 8th. The game was still very much losable.

    At least that's better than the week my pitchers combined for negative points for the week.

    It's not the Yankees' decision. He has an opt-out clause, so he can choose to walk if he wants to.

    Looks like I'm going to knock off Raw this week despite having only 4 pitching starts. Three of them were Marquis (20.05 points), Glavine (28), and McGowan (32.75). Quality over quantity. And it was Raw that traded McGowan to me. :D

    Jeff Clement comes to mind. Many Cub fans were clamoring for the Cubs to draft him several years ago. He's blocked in Seattle by Johima.
  16. NCCubFan
    Win, and advance to the finals. Go Smokies!
  17. NCCubFan
    The article on Lester specifically mentioned new rules. Maybe this was one of the less-publicized changes in the new collective bargaining agreement.
  18. NCCubFan
    I don't ever remember Hawkins being lights out. Hawkins was pretty untouchable as a setup guy Both with the Twins (after they moved him to setup after his failure as a closer) and with the Cubs before they decided he was a closer.
  19. NCCubFan
    The key for the Smokies in this series: Avoid no-hitter, win game.
  20. NCCubFan
    At this point, it should be days. At this rate, he may be fired at halftime. Maybe the over/under needs to be set in terms of hours or days rather than weeks. :D
  21. NCCubFan
    OK, Otis89, what do you have to say for yourself? :D A former Cubs farmhand, catcher Ryan Jorgenson (traded to Florida in the Clement/Willis trade, now in the Reds' system) was also suspended.
  22. NCCubFan
    I also remember players (Rivera, K-Rod, etc.) who started out as setup men, then became dominant closers when the former closers they were stuck behind (Wetteland, Percival) left. The fact is that some dominant setup men can continue that dominance as closers, others can't. There's no way of knowing which Marmol would be without giving him a chance. Having said that, I'm one of the proponants of using your best reliever as a stopper (in the most critical situation regardless of inning) rather than closer. I'd eliminate both the save and hold statistics as they currently exist and replace them with one statistic for relievers wh do their jobs, regardless of whether they finish the game, and allowing such statistic to be awarded to more than one pitcher in a game if they all do their jobs.

    Maybe it's time to start an under/over for how many weeks before Carr gets fired.
  24. NCCubFan
    People who detest covered stadiums would but it like crazy. :D

    The Narrons are an eastern North Carolina institution (in fact some of the family lived in the same town I used to live in), and Hamilton is from Raleigh, NC. It's not surprising there would be a connection between Hamilton and the Narrons.
