I'm a gambling man. Go all the way or bust. 2003 is still a touchy subject for me. Not 2004-2007. Just 2003. And that's because we were close. I can't imagine making it to the WS and losing. That would probably kill me.

Diamonds?

That DeRo play scared the crap out of me. Nice DP.

Breaking news on the ESPN ticker. Gotta go to church so you guys can find your own link. :)

Hey, Hill, if you aren't going to use your energy pitching you might as well use it running.

What did he do? A foul ball ended up in left and instead of going to get it he let the ball boy run all the way over and pick it up.

I guess we are suppose to be happy he only gave up 3.

This is so awesome! I am freaking out! KU is totally the bee's knees!

the only issue i have with this - and a very minor one indeed - is that the hr guy's run production isn't based on PA's, it's based on games played. I guess we could assume an average season or whatever, I dunno, I'll inquire further, but I'm pretty sure the HR guy would produce well over 106 runs, but perhaps not more than the walks produce. The basic idea behind Mr. HR is that he hits one HR per game. He stays in the entire game though. He might get 4 AB's or 6 AB's if it goes extra. But every other at bat that he has he makes an out. When I was having this argument with my friends I just always assumed those outs came as a strikeout. So by the end of the year the guy would have 162 homeruns (one per game played), and who knows how many RBI's, because you wouldn't be able to decide when to hit a homerun. I guess that opens up the question as to where you would bat a guy like that. Sorry if this has already been discussed, but if homerun guy hits his homer early in the game, can't you just take him out and replace him with someone else? If he's guaranteed to get out in the rest of his plate appearances that game, you're better off replacing him after he hits that homerun. "And I don't want any "Well, I'd sit the homerun guy until the bases are loaded, pinch hit and then immediately sub him." Pretend like you have to keep both guys in the whole game." From the first post of the thread. :)

My bracket is all blown to hell so I hope UCLA and Pitt get knocked out. Makes it easier on KU.

Blah. This really hurts St. Mary's is going down, so is Drake. That's okay since I only had them winning their first game. But if Gonzaga loses...I had them going to the Sweet 16.

Tenn. you better not muck up my elite eight.

I really labored over the Drake/WK game. Yeah, I'm glad I have them losing to Conn. in the next round. They aren't looking so hot right now.

Drake, Tenn, Gonzaga, and St. Mary's.

I've seen several and this definitely isn't his typical game.

This is a huge game for my bracket. I have K-State going to the elite eight. It makes me happy to see them ahead by 8 with Beasley only scoring two.

I lost with Kent and Baylor, but I only had them making it to the second round, so not a huge loss.

Yeah, I'd rather this thread not get derailed. I'd like to see some thought from the guys that would prefer Mr. OBP before this thread gets locked. Especially since OBP made a huge comeback after HR's were dominating this poll earlier.

I know the feeling. :(

Silly person.

Could somebody please tell Kent to stop sucking.

I was a fan of the pitch count. But this? Seems a little excessive. There aren't that many stolen bases in little league to account for this.

I didn't mention this, but I kind of figured that the homerun guy would more likely strike out in all of his at bats to make it simpler.

The guy has a cannon for an arm though.
