He hasn't gotten 145 hits in a season since '06. He has no chance. I'll give the Nats the benefit of the doubt and say they're bringing him in to mentor Flores. Still dumb though. -
After being terrible all season, the Nats doubled his '08 salary for 2 years.
-
Kansas St. lost to Ole Miss and is still coached by Frank Martin.

[expletive].

ND fans are quite delusional if you and GR are representative samples, and I think you are. However, if they get Kelly they will be getting a very good coach. He's a pretty good defensive guy, the trick is getting the kids. I think you and the rest of the ND fans will be happy with him. I don't think ND will every be considered a top program on a consistent basis ever again unless they join a conference. We all know how the Domers feel about that. Pride. WE ARE ND! Why in the [expletive] would Notre Dame have to join a conference to be a consistent top program. That makes no sense.
-
He's also not on the list of candidates, so denying interest is self-serving. Tom Crean is not interested in the position either.
-
Santo wasn't up for it this year. This year was non-player personell.
-
Just guessing, but I'm assuming that's due to a lack of terrible teams on Texas's schedule, while Cincy and TCU had a handful. That's not to say it's not meaningful, but it doesn't mean as much to me as if Texas played a bunch of good teams, while Cincy/TCU were playing mediocrities.
-
I honestly think I'd have Texas 5th.
-
Because Dunn will be cheaper and only a 1 year commitment.

For future reference, if you don't want to pay for Play Index on baseball-reference, Baseball Musings has a decent tool you can use: http://www.baseballmusings.com/cgi-bin/DayByDayDatabase.py Wow, that's great. Thanks.
-
There are so many moronic things with that top 10 that it's hard to name the worst offense. I guess I'll go with an undefeated BCS team being behind three teams that have a loss on the season. 2 of those teams having 2 losses. Ohio State's losses not even coming to particularly good teams.
-
Thanks bass, I was able to finagle the #s to figure out mine, but nice to have the full list.

Carlos Zambrano is 6th in the majors(2nd in the NL) in wins since becoming a full time starter in 2003.
-
Can somebody with play index run a most wins from 2003-2009 so I can see where benchwarmer goes from here.
-
How did that prove your point? Zambrano has a better winning percentage than 41 of the the 68 pitchers in the HOF. Are you saying that Zambrano is a HOF pitcher? $2 million+ per win in 2009. What a bargain, Hendry. Oh wait..his VORP and WHIP were great. =D> =D> But he has a great win-loss record. That's what's important.
-
Oh give me a [expletive] break.
-
And why would you be upset with blocking Fuld, but not with blocking Castro?
-
Why? Because you said so. At what point does the organization give these guys a legitimate chance? Ricketts isn't going to approve $150+ payroll so at some point the team is going to have to count on their young players to produce. It is funny that most people ridicule Hendry for his free agent signings, but yet trust he will do the right thing in their mind and only sign Cameron to a one year deal similar to Bobby Abreu last winter. Didn't the re-signing of Grabow illustrate the opposite. Sam Fuld should probably do something to prove he deserves a legitamate chance. When it's a legit prospect(Pie) that gets dicked over, I'm right there grabbing my pitchfork. When Sam Fuld isn't being given the starting CF job because of a good 100 major league AB, I'm ok with that.
-
Wait, so your point all along was that Carlos Zambrano is a hall of fame level pitcher?
-
The Cubs were 6th in the NL in walks last year. And if they were bad at drawing walks, Cameron would certainly help that. And I think just about every fan of every team thinks their team's offense is all or nothing, when there's usually nothing to support it.

This is garbage, TCU is probably the best team in the country. -
Wins have been the #1 standard for the effectiveness of a starter since baseball began. Really? The Cubs had a pitcher last year that was 0-3 after 7 starts, which also happened to be his first ever 7 starts. They should have just kicked him to the curb because he sucked, eh? In 5 of those games, he left giving up 2 runs or less. Think about that for a minute. His ERA was very young Greg Maddux like during that entire 7 games and he didn't win a single one of those games. He ended up 12-10 with a 3.05 ERA, 10th best ERA in the National League. Joe Saunders went 16-7 this year with a 4.60 ERA, and his record was better than Zack Grienke's 16-8 with a 2.16 ERA, so by your calculations, Joe Saunders is better than Zack Grienke. Awesome! :stickman: Name 5 HOF starting pitchers who do not have winning records. Go ahead..we'll wait. Bruce Sutter, Rollie Fingers and Satchel Paige. If you're talking about single seasons, well pretty much all of them. What any of that has to do with anything is beyond me. When's the last time Zambrano had a losing record? There are 68 pitchers in the hall of fame. 41 have worse winning percentages than Zambrano. 19 have worse winning percentages than Kerry Wood.

I don't know if it's the new toupee or some sort of makeup he has on, but I didn't even realize that was Bill Self.

Is Oregon middle of the pack? They're terrible.
