my goodness they incinerated Favre on that throw

Feely is the goat of this game right now. The Jets are 45 yards from tying the game if he makes those kicks. But it doesn't matter because there's a tipped INT.

well when your team sneaks into the playoffs in large part because the team they played in week 16 didn't try, and it's your first year in the league with a team that's a low seed, you might want to keep a lower profile rather than running your mouth every week. Conversely, when you've coached a team within 25 minutes of a Super Bowl in your first year with a mediocre rookie QB leading your offense, maybe you've earned the right to speak your mind.

Looked like Caldwell had pine tar on his hat there. And I'm never going to get tired of seeing that Denmon shot in March Madness montages.

Because he's fat?
-
I don't think he saw it until after the play and didn't want to sound ridiculous getting excited after the fact.

Every Day Should Be Saturday is just killing it so far in this game. Merrill Hoge: "That's a [expletive] college play!" #hugegain Manning ran for that TD like he was auditioning for the Dept. of Silly Walks.

Really good read. Talks a lot about his repertoire and his approach to pitching. Link

season ticket wait list.....

There's a 9 game package. Link -
Agreed, but Fuld doesn't have the ceiling and is already 28. The point of getting Pie is that he can do what Fuld can do now (minus the OBP ability, but he's improving), and still has the possibility of becoming something like the CFer we thought he once could be. He needs at bats to realize that potential. He's not going to get that being our 4th OF, and considering he hasn't really performed at a level above what's expected of Fuld(at the MLB level at least), I don't really see it being a worthwhile endeavor. Plus it's an impossibility considering his history as a Cub.

Rep. I'll be the first to say that the Big East is down this year (which a lot of people projected before the season). Maybe I'm a homer, but with KU, UT and KSU as the tier one teams in the big 12, and Baylor, Mizzou, and OK St/A&M as the tier two, I'd say the Big 12 is the toughest. Kenpom says it's the ACC, though. I don't buy KSU as a tier 1 team. Beating UT at home is nice, but UT is about to lose another road game, and as I type this KSU is about to lose to OSU at home and they've already lost to Mizzou on the road.
-
Pretty much all the descriptors you used apply to Fuld as well. And his skill set likely lends itself better to success in a part time role.

LeBron is a Top 10 assist guy in the league, taking the ball out of his hands more for a point guard would make them less efficient. As for their offense, it might seem that way because of LeBron's involvement(which is absolutely what they should do given his talents), but there is definitely some sophistication. Here's an example: Link

They've got pitchers taking up like half their roster.

Good point, I think most of us remember the dominant Harden and forget that he had been regressing. Harden was good last year, the Cubs are worse off without him. He put up a 4.35 FIP and sub-2 WAR. They are projected to get that from that spot with Marshall, Gorzelanny, and maybe even Samardzija. EDIT: Even Silva's only projected to be marginally worse. [insert SSR's caveat about hittable pitchers and projections here] -
So the primary LH PH most days is either Blanco, Hill, or Fuld? Yikes, be ready soon Castro.
-
Mike Fontenot as the only viable backup shortstop? Is there someone he's forgetting? It will probably be Hoffpauir instead of Branyan, but I have a hard time seeing another backup infielder making the team right out of camp.
-
We're talking about a 4th outfielder, he doesn't need to be able to start 150 games. And if Baldelli goes down, the difference between Gomes and whoever replaces Baldelli isn't so great that it's not worth the risk to have the better player(because, again, we're talking about a part time player). Or, if Baldelli's health doesn't check out, go with Nady, who hits LHP like Gomes but doesn't drive a clown car in the outfield.
-
Nady is coming off a pretty serious injury and Baldelli has a significant injury history as well. Why not take the healthy player? Because he's not as good at baseball as Nady or Baldelli. What is so great about Rocco Baldelli? He hits LHP about as well as Gomes and doesn't try to catch the ball with his face.

-
Jonny Gomes is pretty much Jake Fox, albeit a slightly more proven Jake Fox. Not that bad an acquisition with Fuld's defense as the 5th outfielder, but he's so bad defensively that he's not much of an injury fill-in. I like Nady and Baldelli better.
-
For a road game, losing by 7 to Tech isn't so bad since I think ISU isn't so much different a team than Tech. Especially for the first game without Staiger. Please give Kansas a battle on Saturday so they're worn down come Monday.

Baldelli?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I really like Sam Fuld, so I'm okay with having Baldelli's health risk as the other reserve outfielder. With Hoffpauir and Colvin around, we aren't exactly stuck with a worst-case scenario if Rocco doesn't work out. -
Hitting may require some more refined reflexes that cause fluctuations, but that's all there is, you swing. Defensively there's a much wider range of what you have to do physically, and frankly there's much more time during each defensive play to do something wrong.
