Nice. Hope Capernik(?) is a Caleb Hanie type.

Yeah if there's one thing you never see, it's people taking random little shots at ND and its fans whether based in reality or not. How smug of those fans to respond. Take UMFan who has absolutely no idea what was discussed in last week's thread but pipes up to make up things to attribute to fans of "mighty" ND. No I have a pretty good idea. I just like riling the ND fans up by making intentionally obtuse comments because it makes the threads more entertaining.
-
From reading last weeks thread, Alabama should be scared that they have to take on mighty Notre Dame.
-
Welp, division lead on the line tomorrow (due to tiebreakers)
-
And yet bullpens are a crapshoot so it doesn't really make sense to spend very much money there -
Why would they give up LAX? Since there's no Big Ten for lacrosse, can't they just go independent?
-
I'm shocked that the 2 ND fans are arguing against things like the Sagrin rating and SOS and all the other statistical data TT and others posted in order to prove that ND won't get blasted by Alabama
-
lol, glad the Bulls had 2 days off between games. Nice Taj :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=olbJETQbBjU

You can't criticize SEC schedules and then pretend like the ACC is competent or FSU has a hard schedule. Their only good win is against a Clemson team that hasn't beaten anyone good. I'm not criticizing their schedules as much as I am pointing out that these top 10 SEC teams are struggling against these scrub teams.
-
Also, SEC top 10 teams everyone! (5) Georgia 10, Georgia Southern 7, 5:00 left 2nd quarter (6) Florida 10, Jacksonville St. 0, Halftime (9) South Carolina 7, Woffard 7, 12:00 left 3rd quarter ok Alabama is beating their scrub 49-0 but whatever, that's terrible Meanwhile... 1 loss (10) Florida State 41, Maryland 7 Not that Maryland is some juggernaut but they aren't Georgia Southern either

As fun as this is, seeing this pretty much takes away my last bit of hope that Nebraska can lose again to get UM in the Big Ten title game.

Blue Jays sign Melky Cabrera
UMFan83 replied to David's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
- Those years also correlate with his prime - I'm not convinced that PEDs make up some huge difference in his performance - He doesn't have to be a 4-5 WAR all-star to be a nice deal for what the Jays just signed him to. It's just odd...I don't remember anyone giving him much hype coming into the bigs...in 4 seasons with the Yankees he had one pretty good season (his first) a couple of somewhat decent ones, bounced around with a year on the Braves, where he was below replacement, then went to the Royals and was suddenly a 4 win player, then to the Giants where he was on pace to be a 6-6.5 win player. Makes sense that his best years correlate with his prime of course, but its odd to see him have a below replacement level year in 2010, then all the sudden he's a 4 win player then a 6 win player. Then in the middle of the 6 win season he's busted for PEDs. You could be right that they don't make up a huge difference, who knows. But when you have a .373 slugging percentage the first 5 seasons in the bigs, and then suddenly become a .490 SLG player and test positive for performance enhancing drugs, it is probably at least debatable. Lastly, the previous paragraph is pointless because I agree its a nice deal and he doesn't have to be a 4 win player for it to still be a nice deal. -
Cutler has officially been ruled out for Mondays game per the Score. Shea will be out as well.
-
Looks like the only Cub to receive any sort of votes for any postseason award was Alfonso Soriano receiving 8 voting points for MVP.

Four years ago, IU lost at home to something called Lipscomb. IU has improved, a bit, since then. So I should look forward to DePaul being the preseason #1 in a few years?
-
So DePaul got blown out at home by Gardner-Webb by 13...yes Gardner-Webb. If that's not bad enough, Gardner-Webb played LAST NIGHT in NC and lost to something called Lipscomb. Want worse? Gardner-Webb was missing their 2 best players. Oliver Prunell might be in trouble...so much for the program builder
-
Thursday Night Football is the best....a 4-5 team vs. a 3-6 team, no offensive touchdowns scored, 4 FGs, sloppy special teams. Gotta love it.
-
Why arent these the kind of reported deals that get debunked hours later?
-
Well, I don't know how much pushing Navarro is going to do. Probably could have spent 750K and gotten a better option to perform well in spring training. Unless he means they need him to literally push Castillo, and if so the Navarro is the man for the job, but still not worth 1.75M
-
Brewer was hot to start the season last year too. I have little doubt that'll cool off. Yeah there was a Knicks troll that started a thread on the Bulls RealGM board a week ago thanking us for letting Brewer go and bragging about his hot start, and I reminded him that Brewer started out on fire last year as well and ended up shooting like 18% from 3 the rest of the year after shooting 60% in his first 7-8 games.

This would be like calling the Cy Young award the R.A. Dickey Award just because he won it the previous season. I don't know how far back you should go, but let's at least call it the Aaron Miles Award. It's the Neifi! Award. Strangely enough (largely because of mediocre, not bad defense), Neifi was never even close to the worst WAR on the team during his 3 season tenure with the Cubs. In fact, he had positive WAR in all 3 seasons.

Just for fun: Kyle Korver - 7 games, 9.3 PPG, 12.89 PER, .431 FG%, .391 3PT % Ronnie Brewer - 5 games, 9.0 PPG, 17.00 PER, .459 FG%, .500 3PT% (14 3PTA) CJ Watson - 6 games, 8.3 PPG, 12.91 PER, .442 FG%, .333 3PT% Omer Asik - 8 games, 10.5 PPG, 12.9 RPG, 14.11 PER, .727 FT% (33 FTA) John Lucas III - 8 games, 2.1 PPG, 1.07 PER, .176 FG% (34 FGA)

Had a solid year in 2008 and actually made the All Star team, then was terrible for most of 3 seasons before 74 solid PA with the Reds last year. He's had a cumulative -0.6 WAR since his 1.7 WAR season in 2008 according to BR... 0.2 last year, but positive defensive WAR in all 5 seasons. Slash line in 2008: .295/.349/.407/.757 (470 PA) Slash line from 2009-2011: .207/.267/.311/.578 (754 PA) Slash line in 2012: .290/.306/.449/.755 (74 PA) FO hoping that tiny sample size was some sort of adjustment or rebirth for him, or at least enough for him to be a passable defensive backup catcher?
-
You shoud probably edit your title to say that. Oh and thanks for noting that it was the catcher Navarro....I was worried that they dug up Jamie Navarro from somewhere.
