1. How did they ever manage to hit a HR without Yadier Molina inspiring them? 2. You have your LOOGY all warmed up to face Carpenter. They bring in the lefty Taveras...and you don't bring in Lopez? Were you afraid they'd counter with Descalso??

I've seen more curtain calls from the Cardinals this postseason than I've seen over the past 5 years of playoffs.

The Giants are carrying a position player with a .494 OPS on the season??

It's not right to celebrate injuries. Unless it's Yadier Molina. Then it's not right to not celebrate injuries.

Harold Reynolds just called for the squeeze, then alluded that maybe they should safety squeeze. With the bases loaded.

Holy [expletive] Reynolds, get hit by a bus

Is he broken?

I'd go 1. Miss St 2. Ole Miss 3. Florida State 4. Notre Dame 5. Baylor 6. Auburn 7. Bama 8. Oregon 9. Michigan St. 10. Oklahoma Alabama is too high. Looks like I'm in the minority on this one but I think I'd rate Ole Miss ahead of Mississippi State. I went Miss St. first because of the win over LSU. Even though LSU isn't as good as usual this year, winning there is still a better third win than what Ole Miss has. And Bama the nod over Oregon because their loss is better. But I wouldn't be opposed to swapping those two. Though I guess from my own logic from last week I should have TCU over Oklahoma though. Oh well. I just don't think Alabama is that good, to be honest. Then why do you favor University of Mississippi over Miss St?

No, the SEC East is just really bad. I'm not sure any SEC fan would disagree with that. From the looks of it, Georgia is the only team that can be mentioned in any sort of national discussion. The SEC east is not bad. Especially if kentucky ends up being decent. Really the sec west is set apart and the other major conference divisions are pretty equal. The sec east has strong depth with 5-6 solid teams. It's just a down year but top to bottom is much better than the acc coastal and the big ten west and maybe a step behind te PAC divisions. Still pretty solid in the context of FBS. The main reason the sec west is looked at as so remarkable is that the up an coming teams both pulled off two straight upset wins. This has kept the top of the division in te too 10 whereas in previous years alabama and lsu or auburn have destroyed he traditionally mediocre teams like ole miss and msst. Part of the formula that has created this narrative is alabama and LSU/auburn not being able to dominate the division as it has in the past. Is this years sec west better than say 2011 when LSU and Bama were definitely the two best teams in the country and Arkansas was a top 5 team muc of the season. I believe that was the year they were 1,2 & 3 in the BCS very late in the season. Now in the sec west you have a lot more parity than usual. I guess this is why my parody of an SEC homer gets taken as serious posts.

All 3 of those losses were against SEC teams though. But only one of those losses is to an SEC West team though. The SEC East only looks terrible because everyone is comparing them to the SEC West. What do you think would happen if a Big Ten team had to play the SEC East? Penn State would win the SEC East this year. Hell, Indiana has a win at an SEC East school this year. Sigh

So Georgia's loss is to a team with 3 losses and their best win is at a place where Indiana won... Got it. All 3 of those losses were against SEC teams though.

1. Miss St 2. University of Mississippi 3. Florida State 4. Baylor 5. Notre Dame 6. Auburn 7. TCU 8. Oregon 9. Alabama 10. OK State

I believe the Baltimore football team has a similar attitude

The hell? I missed this the first time around. Shameful

Less Shame?

Was thinking it had been a while since there was some blatant SEC snobbery in the thread. Our high ranked teams wouldn't be squeaking out a win against UNC, the same team that gave up 29 to Liberty. Mississippi State beat UAB by 13 points.

Is anybody watching the FS1 broadcast instead? It's amazing in its lack of Joe Buck and Harold Reynolds.

He was set to be NLCS MVP

Congrats on the new job TT

They've only had Willingham and Downs for a couple months, I'm not sure if their salaries are indicative of the year-long threshold that Glass will want to reach payroll-wise. Maybe with the playoff money/success though. Shouldn't have trusted Cots individual numbers adding up to the sum

Rizzo isn't dumb like Coletti though.

Like Miller

No avatars ever.

They have a lot of arb increases to take care of, but they should raise payroll, and they shed 16M from Willingham, Hochevar, and Downs. It'd be tight, but they could manage.
