    Words don't describe the hilarity of dumping Marquis's contract to fit Braden Looper in on probably the same dumbass 3 year deal.

    We've already traded Wieters like 15 times for various levels of talent over the past year.

    I wouldn't chalk up at Northwestern as a win either. There are not going to be many gimmes in the Big 10 this year. Games against Indiana and Iowa at home should be the only games any team feels really confident in. Penn St. and Northwestern are pretty decent teams. I'm starting to think there's a really good chance of 6 Big Ten teams in the tourney. And other than MSU, I'm not confident enough to guarantee any others of those spots.

    We were playing with out Hummel and Kramer, but regardless we still should have won that game and yes it would be horribly pathetic if we don't make it They're 2-4 against competitive teams. I'm guessing on a 9-9 Big Ten record after watching these first two conference games. 10-8 maybe, 11-7 would thrill me. Once LewJack finds his groove and starts averaging 30 points per game, you guys should be fine.

    Two minutes here should convince you of this. Every expert in every field is far dumber than the collective intelligence represented at NSBB. Especially in math. All those other experts are just Salieri. Also the Big Bang Theory or something.

    haha yeah right. usually i do really well during the regular season and then crash and burn in the bowls. this is the first year in like the last 5 that most of the bowls went the way i thought they would. i think the bowls are usually pretty unpredictable because teams are off for a month and momentum (coming into the game) means just about nothing. but Meph has a system! A SYSTEM! with my 5 points from tulsa's win, i've beaten meph's system. Yeah but Meph has big points on Texas over OU in the title game, so you're probably effed.

    UM is -8 at IU if anybody's interested in free money.

    It was added to the banned list after McGwire was found with it. Yeah, it wasn't illegal PED use, but he was using PEDs that are no longer allowed which contributed to his 580+ HRs. He's not guilty of illegally using them from the info we know, but his numbers can be called into question based on what he's admitted to using. ex post facto? Sorta, I'm not saying based on what we know is true we can admonish the guy, but in historical context we can lessen the significance of his numbers based on evidence that he used PED's that we know hold to be illegal. Sort of like how we give extra credit to those hitters that played in the 60's for lesser numbers in a pitchers era with a higher mound in use. Of course there's also the dark cloud of steroids use that we can't prove yet if ever. You're double counting by deducting for andro use in addition to the deduction everyone takes for him playing in a hitter's era.

    http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orl-sportsbcsnotes06010609jan06,0,70284.story Florida is 12-1 when Meph enjoys himself in front of a Tebow poster before the game starts. See USC, there's your problem, Meph gets it up for every game.

    I heard Akron wasn't even up for that game.

    Utah beat Oregon St. who embarrassed USC. Utah: 82 USC: 6

    Sending Hoff to AAA would be so awful.

    Mark Prior is one of my favorite Cubs of all time.
  15. SouthSideRyan
    Twins fans have gotta be hoping for a Rocky Wirtz here.

    Kerry Wood has an enlarged heart and a tumor in his stomach.

    3 seed in '06 was a good regular season.
  18. SouthSideRyan
    I think that's worse than a Dusty bench.

    Lol. Seriously Dave Kaplan is dumber than the Voice of Reason. and almost as ugly as South Side Ryan. We prefer the term rugged.

    The problem is with a complete lack of power, a 350-360 OBP guy isn't very valuable. He's fine as a #8 hitter.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    More than I expected.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    Football has more of the 1 and done type feeling where every game is way more important, so I guess that's where you're coming from. But basketball is so much better as a sport than football.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    Just cause Missouri's out of it after November doesn't mean the rest of the months aren't exciting.
  25. SouthSideRyan
    I would go and heckle him if he signed there. Good idea. Here's a couple suggestions: "Hey Prior, way to have your career tragically cut short because Dusty Baker drove you into the ground." "Hey Prior " "Hey Prior, you're richer, better looking, and better educated than I!" "Hey Prior, what's it like to play baseball for a living!"
