i like the diamondbacks at 25/1

so do ladanian and rivers going down prove the ewing theory?

pittsburgh lost so i don't care who wins the super bowl this year.

you aren't, but meph might be desperate for people due to the reaction so far. I'M IN

http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CAL/CAL199205300.shtml blyleven goes 7 innings without giving up a run, and wins the game.

that can't be right, there has to be more to it than that. That's what the guy said, and he repeated it a couple of times because of what an insanely remarkable (and tragic) stat that is. so none of his 287 career wins came when he had given up 2 or fewer runs in the 7th inning? how did he amass that many wins then? either there's more to the stat, or the bp guy is lying.

that can't be right, there has to be more to it than that.

i can't believe how many people overestimate rice's dominance. he was pretty good, but most feared hitter my ass. it's a useless cliche boston homers throw around to make rice sound better than he really was.

hahaha that's pretty fantastic

over/under on how many minutes til vance posts a pic of boeckman getting brutalized there.

well that should do it.

probably should convert this or it's game over for reals

don't go for a fg

WHOO WHOOOOO TIME FOR THE COMEBACK OF THE CENTURY

o-h?

please lose, steelers

wow, i didn't think hendry would give up on 2008 so soon. i guess he's thinking long term.

The guy is the second coming of Jose Valentin. Avg to bad outfielder and infielder, avg power and typical batting average numbers with an obp. He also only hits .250 against right handed pitching despite his switch-hitting capabilities, and he is terribly slow. On a team with so many question marks and rotation problems, I don't see why you would give up one of the best AL pitching prospects around for an average guy like Swisher. no.

i'm guessing this is sarcasm since clay sucked in can-am baseball.

they won't be when ohio st. wins by 2 touchdowns next week WOOOOOOOOOOO

this is asinine. aside from blatantly botched calls by referees, the team who plays better as a rule wins out in football. outgaining a team 500 yards to 100 is meaningless if you can't execute that yardage into scores. USC was outplayed the two Saturdays they were beaten. they're the best team in the nation because losses caused them to be outplayed, but the games were not indicative of their true talent level. football is in no way comparable to baseball for this concept. so what's so different about these two scenarios: Football team gains 500 yards on offense, score 7 points. They allow 100 yards, give up 10 points. Baseball team gets 5 walks, 10 singles, 2 doubles and a triple, score 0 runs. They allow 1 hit no walks and one run. They're analogous to each other. A few points either way in a football game is a pretty random outcome. If a team wins by a field goal, then what's the difference? It's a 3 down conversion, or stopping one. It's very small and very random. Three touchdown loss? No. A loss within a touchdown? It's fairly random. What should we take away from the game? The same from each team. On that day they were pretty much equal. Who won has very little predicative power, if any. This isn't negotiable. It's a statistical fact that cannot be argued. Don't even think about trying. unless it's an sec team beating an inferior conference, then it's proof that the sec is better.

hahahaha the sec is a joke

even if michigan wins it doesn't mean anything. florida is better. they shouldn't even play bowl games, just award the sec team the game.

I-O

i'll throw some love to len kasper.
