  1. Fun Fact o' the day Brad Smith: 3173 Passing+Rushing yards South Carolina: 3383 Passing+Rushing yards
  2. The Downtown Athletic Club has just announced that Brady Quinn has been awarded the 2006 Heisman Trophy. *pumps fists* Gets rid of a Heisman AND a national title contender. Pfft, it's a battle for second place after Chase Daniel.
  3. Can't say I've heard the "mouth-breathing" knock on Farnsworth before.
  4. Where's the "Mizzou by a number not yet discovered by modern scientists" option? Seriously though, there's probably going to be 100 points scored in this game.
  5. Ohio State, the 4th best defense in the nation by YPG, is the only team to keep Texas under 6 touchdowns(A&M too technically but 40 pts. v. 42). I think that alone will keep it from being a blowout, USC hasn't exactly been stingy against better offenses.
  6. He was 9 with the Marlins, I assume that's what he'll be here.
  7. Thread title change? Pierre gone after this year? KingKonan gone after this post? What?
  8. In Texas it should be even greater than before. Location.
  9. Thome was traded to the White Sox last month. And Philly is paying part of his salary.
  10. For his career, he only has 9 fewer games post-ASB, and has an OPS 18 points higher. He would be a great platoon option though, and his numbers against RHP aren't terrible.
  11. He was on pace to hit 25 HR last year at age 20 in AA, a pitchers league, had he gotten around 550 ABs. Pie is strong, and he definitely has the potential to hit that many HR>
  12. I really don't care who wins, as long as they win by eleventy billion. They both suck.
  13. To me, a .780 OPS for a corner OF falls short of awesome. Realistic, but nothing special.
  14. Rusch has been much better the last two years than he was previously. What was he, like 1-16 before he came to us? You're trying awfully hard to diminish any improvement made by any of our pitchers for the sake of disparaging Rothschild. He may not be perfect, and he may not have the answer for every pitcher out there (but neither did Mazzone), but he's generally considered as one of the better pitching coaches in the game by many people associated with the game. I think you need to be a little more open-minded. BK did an article a while back showing that most of Rusch's improvement was BABIP related.
  15. Good for Tony's OCD matchup tendencies, but not so good if he continues to decline against lefties like he did last year.
  16. As much as we like to malign Hughes around these parts, looking at the players he drafted and developed in Montreal shows that he has quite an impressive track record regardless of his methods. There's quite a difference between drafting players, which has very very little reliable statistical data, and being an assistant GM and evaluating near major leaguers and major leaguers that have a much longer and more reliable backgrounds.
  17. Chuck Wasserstrom is the guy you're thinking of, IIRC.
  18. Or just hit ctrl + Is that the keyboard shortcut? I was too lazy to experiment to figure it out.
  19. If you use firefox and your mouse has a scroll wheel, hold down Ctrl and use the scroll wheel to adjust the text size.
  20. FWIW, in inter-conference games this year, the NFC has 24 wins, the AFC has 25. To me, Indy is head and shoulders above everyone else, Seattle and probably Denver are slightly above the next tier, then there's madness among the other good teams. I don't think the AFC "good" teams are appreciably better than the NFC's, but that's just me.
  21. "The difference between a .275 hitter and a .300 hitter is one hit every 2 weeks."
