    Lou's gone about 8 games with the Cubs with only 1 backup IF. I don't think he's gonna go an entire season.

    I bet Texas wins.

    MacPhail wanted to be "competitive within the division" Cuban was talking of not worrying about what the Red Sox/Yankees do because it'd be one 7 game series. My reading of it, said go out build the best team in the NL, and worry about the Red Sox/Yankees if you get to Late October.

    Wait, did I miss something? Why wouldn't Baldelli play in '09?

    This is just going to give Mizzou an excuse to sign back up for the forum.

    And I think the computers are going to give up on Northwestern after the thrashing at Madison.

    neither does the NCAA Tournament Thank heavens for that. SOAB. don't you mean SOB? Maybe SAB. You can drop the of.

    I understand tough to win on the road and all, especially for a young team, but the SEC West(similar to the Big 12 north for Kansas) is just so bad, that they should really be shooting for 9-1 in those games. I guess 13-3 was probably overstating things a bit, but Arkansas is definitely set up nicely. ETA: Pomeroy hates them though.

    And Iowa was playing at home in what was a horribly ugly game. Michigan was on the road, I didn't see the game, though I'm sure it was ugly as well.
  11. SouthSideRyan
    And can we ban the transitive property in this thread?
  12. SouthSideRyan
    I never altered my projections. I had Iowa taking 10th all season long. I had Iowa winning less than 6 games all season long. The fact that I said they were better than I expected didn't mean I had them better than this. I've also had Michigan as not that good all year. But no I said Iowa sucked(along with most everyone else, including Iowa fans), so yeah, I'm crazy.

    I don't know, how many rings do they have, and where do they rank in doubles?
  14. SouthSideRyan
    Bill Buckner and Maury Wills? Are you seriously comparing Scotty Pods to these guys? They played in a completely different era and completely different ballparks. Maury Wills' career was played entirely during a dominant pitching era. Buckner was nothing like Podsednik. Period. I'm only comparing the OPS, which came under heavy fire for Pods. IT CAME UNDER FIRE BECAUSE OF THE POSITION AND ERA HE PLAYED IN.

    129th all time in RBI!! 50th in DOUBLES!!! 245th IN RUNS SCORED 395th in Batting average. Enshrine Buckner!

    Lee would have helped them a lot more. When your pitching staff puts up ERAs of 2.20, 2.63, and 3.00 in three postseason series, my pregnant wife would be a good fit in left field. She'd have as good a first step as Pods too.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    Bill Buckner was a bad Hal Morris once his knees gave out.
  18. SouthSideRyan
    WHY DON'T WE SIGN PODSEDNIK?
  19. SouthSideRyan
    Why'd Ken Williams let Podsednik go?
  20. SouthSideRyan
    Well, they got a ring out of it. Worked out pretty well for them in '05. Pods was also pretty damn clutch in the postseason, if you'll recall. That ring might have had something to do with their fantastic pitching. That Pods-led offense was pretty mediocre, even in the postseason. The pitching was fantastic. No argument there. But mediocre? Really? In 12 games (49 ABs), he hit .286 with a .375 OBP and a .551 SLG, had 2 HRs (1 was a walkoff in the World Series btw), 1 double, 3 triples, 6 SB, 6 RBIs, and scored 9 runs. Maybe he should've tried harder during the regular season.
  21. SouthSideRyan
    I think we should hire Joe Garigiola Jr. and acquire Tony Womack. You can't argue the results.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    I don't know how anyone could still argue that trading Lee for Pods was a good move. White Guys > dark guys

    The Big East, Big Ten, and ACC are going to suck up most of the at large bids. The SEC and Big XII are way down, and I have a hard time seeing either getting more than 3 at larges. That leaves 28 at large bids to the remaining 4 BCS conferences/Mid-Majors. I think at max the Pac 10 takes 5 at larges, that puts you at 23 for the 3 conferences/Mid Majors. Assume 7 for the Big East and you're 16. Then you've got the ACC which is pretty top heavy. Duke, UNC, Clemson, and Wake are locks. After that, you have Maryland, BC, and Miami which look okayish right now. After them, there's not much of anything. That brings you to 10. As far as mid major threats, the only one that looks safe to take an at large is the Mountain West.(2 if their lucky) After that you've got Conference USA, Horizon, West Coast, and Metro each trying to sneak in an at large as a 12 seed. Of course there are upsets in the conference tourneys, but you've got a weak mid-major field this season, and 2 conferences which are way down. Even assuming what I did above, which I think is generous(I could see any of those conferences taking 1 less bid than they are, and can't see any taking more than I gave except the Big East and maybe the Big 12.) the road is still there for 7 Big Ten teams.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    The Big 12 and SEC are both bad. Arkansas will probably wind up way overseeded cause they'll go like 13-3 in the SEC. KU will probably be the same way.
  25. SouthSideRyan
    Who said Penn St. was going 5-13?
