  1. Darren Oliver broke into the majors in 1993. Damn.
  2. You see kids? Doing drugs CAN pay off!
  3. i too enjoyed the braves not collapsing in september, and the phillies not forgetting to hit, and the brewers superior pitching winning out. I'm sure we'll also find a way to blame Marmol for this.
  4. The Rangers don't play defense, do they?
  5. Get this [expletive] out and bring on extras.
  6. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  7. La Russa keeps a list of them to puke in He should probably keep a bucket in his car. He does. It's full of ice and natty.
  8. Why does everybody hate me here? I'm a Cubs fan just like all of you. Duke fan. Lol. Can't hate someone for rooting for their alma mater. I can and do quite frequently.
  9. ATTN: Joe Buck Stop it with the reverse jinx crap.
  10. Did Mike Martz take a nap during the fourth quarter? ...or was he not paying attention during the first three quarters so his competent underlings could actually call good plays?
  11. Welp, now it's time to cheer for a Clemson/Boise State national championship game.
  12. That's a Jim Caldwell specialty. I got it when the Badgers took the timeout after Cousins fumbled it with about 48 seconds left. It was 2nd and 21 and, if the Badgers had held the Spartans, they would have had pretty good field position with time left. I didn't get that timeout on 3rd and 8 on the MSU 36 with 30 seconds left.

  14. The only con I can really come up with for Hoyer is how the Karsten Whitson negotiations completely blew up in his face. My memory was that the Padres were completely taken by surprise that Whitson suddenly decided to play hardball with them and turned down a fairly lucrative offer. Sometimes these things happen and it may not have been all the Pads' fault, but that sort of mistake can indicate lapses in scouting a player.
  15. Hoyer's moves with San Diego have actually been pretty solid. His 2011 draft was quite cost-effective and brought in a number of solid players to the Padres organization (Spangenberg and Peterson especially), plus I like how they've basically tried to bring in good quality role players on short term deals. He's clearly tried to build the Padres from within without needlessly stretching resources. Even if the Cubs never even considered Theo, I'd be pretty happy to have Hoyer and McLeod.
  16. I'm tempted to slide Lake back into my Top 20 thanks to his run in the AFL, but that's about it.
