i don't understand the idea of hating on a system that rewards teams for not losing in a short season and then advocating a system that kicks a team out that loses one game in a shorter season. because the system in the season that sucks right now is trying to put just 2 teams in the championship. look at it right now. osu is probably the 6th or 7th best team in the nation. if you have an 8 team format, then you wont have any huge glaring omissions...like the best team, USC. I agree. And what is interesting to see is all 3 BCS games have featured a case for a two loss team to be in the national title race. I was hoping after the Rose Bowl that USC would have enough momentum with their slaughter of Illinois to have the AP vote them number 1 if LSU wins, but similar drubbings by Georgia and West Virginia have made that difficult. If LSU wins next week, there are going to be a lot of people up in arms over this BCS system.

Pittsburgh/Jacksonville is one of those games where everyone is picking the road upset and the home team ends up coming out on top. I just feel it. So my picks are Seattle NYG Pittsburgh SD

In please

One interesting point to mention. One of the people on our favorite Orioles website mentioned this. He is not one of the 3 insiders I'm aware of, but he mentioned that he exchanged some emails, presumably with someone in the know: Roberts? Could that hitter be Tyler Colvin? Could the Cubs be trying to go after Roberts + Cabrera? Just pure speculation on my part, but it's been really slow here lately, so I want something to talk about. -
And the U wasn't even involved!

Are the MLB offices opened today?

App State > Florida

What exactly is a natural utility man? http://www.vincekeenan.com/uploaded_images/harrington-725920.jpg Scary that it took you only three minutes to think of this guy, find his picture and post it in this thread. Very scary... That show always creeped me out for some reason. FYI, a Mets outsider I know believes this trade has actually already been completed, and voided by the commissioners office. Why would it be voided?

Astros offer a deal to Prior
UMFan83 replied to Vanilla Ice's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
No because it just proves that Prior did not want to be a Cubs any more. If anything I hope he does so I don't have to be angry with Jim Hendry for not tendering him. -
Doubtful, the Indians are working on an extension right now with CC.
-
Don't major league baseball teams have more important things to worry about? I'm sure they don't like their inside information exposed to the general public. It can ruin their leverage and negotiating position with other teams, and it gets the fans riled up for things that may not happen.
-
HAH! It seems that Belkast guy has been taken for a ride by his source who found out that he was leaking that info to the message board. Everything that you read today from him should be assumed to be false.

More speculation that they are pulling our chain http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/roch/blog/2007/12/final_word_on_roberts.html

I haven't actually been to their site, so pardon my stupidity. But, if these "Insider's" were purposely duping Cub fans visiting the site, wouldn't they also be duping their own fellow fans and tearing down any future credibility among those fellow fans? I've been reading their site for a while now. The insiders only give what they have heard from their "sources". It's not to say they can't be wrong or that things don't change from one minute to the next. They have been right with most of the stuff I have looked at over there. Most of the posters not only trust them but defend them so I don't think they would be pulling chains. Just my opinion. Unless the entire board was in on it
-
They knew that they were losing us, so they decided that they had to spice things up a bit. Well played O's insiders.
-
The BCB comment links to the article on the Baltimore Sun that shoots down the Chicago radio report.
-
I would do it if Prior goes to a NL Central team. It would be no fun chatting with you in a game thread if Prior is pitching a 2 hit shutout against the Cubs as a Red.
-
Absolutely could be, especially since MacPhail knows what an astute negotiator Hendry is.

So Taguchi
UMFan83 replied to HoopsCubs's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
How Taguchi is he? -
Did anyone see this? Orioles not likely to make a trade until after the new year: http://www.examiner.com/a-1116058~O_s_say_no_deals_today.html I guess its time to calm down and actually get back to work.
-
...and we're back!
-
I'm not positive but I think it did. It used to go down quite a bit. Thank Tim for his time and monetary efforts because it doesn't go down nearly as much as it used to.
-
Well it looks like we took down their board again.
-
Although this thread was only 38 pages, I think it is much more hilarious than this one: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=23264&hilit=Dunn

FWIW, one of the insiders posted this about Bedard:
