ACC Championship game, 1st quarter: http://f3.yahoofs.com/ymg/ept_sports_ncaaf_experts__7/ept_sports_ncaaf_experts-917964810-1228604963.jpg?ymkoJcADlbW82_Dd

Have you ever seen them together?
-
For a TD to almost assuredly ice the SEC championship game. How dare he be excited? I bet Juice would never celebrate like that. he's talking about the announcers' "how could he MAKE a throw like that? unBELIEVEABLE" after tebow threw a 3-yard slant pass He got TACKLED this year, like to the GROUND.
-
hahaha, what an amazing call
-
[pass gets broken up 3 yards out of bounds] "Oooh, that was close"
-
Do I have the gist of the Alabama offense down? Run up the middle Run up the middle Play fake, throw to Jones Bootleg to tight end Run up the middle Bootleg where no one is ever open Run up the middle Run up the middle
-
What, no love for Waitress? Alabama is a little better than I thought.
-
haha, even the well thrown ball Tebow throws was a duck
-
Nice to see Duke playing a true road game outside the B10 Challenge, they must've been waiting for the Democrats to get the White House back before trying that again.

LH RF trade option?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to 8654's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I'd still like to see how much it would take to get a Baldelli/DeRosa/Fontenot for 2B/RF combo. -
Castro doesn't seem like much, although he might develop a little as a reliever. Hopefully he has good stuff. Waddell looks like a LOOGY candidate, although LH have hit him hard in different years. Johnson is an older Koyie Hill. I wonder if that's an indicator Hill will back up Soto, or that Hill won't be back in any capacity?

Would anyone actually miss Marquis?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Ski's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
His second half ERA was 4.66, 4.44 in the first half. -

Everyone is better than Ibanez. Felix Pie is better than Ibanez. -
Did you ever see Secret Window?

Florida 31-7 Oklahoma 49-31

I'm pretty sure we're going to put up some points, but Bradford's hand is the only avenue to the game being close at the end. Hopefully they aren't as effective without much ability to go under center, and if Mizzou can get around the line and hit Bradford a few times, maybe he gets knocked out of the game by landing on that hand or something.
-
I'd say Soriano's pretty used to being a leadoff hitter. Personally, I'd rather have him there than Roberts, and it's no contest when we have to give up the world to get Roberts.
-
So Oklahoma is going to ruin my chance at seeing Mizzou play Ohio State two years in a row? That sucks.
-
So it's all just a big, flukey coincidence that he's pitched so above-averagishly on the road and awesomely at home. Yes, like it's a big fluky coincidence that he's pitched awesomely on the road 3 of the last 5 years, and the 2 he didn't he had injury troubles.
-
So only 5-6 teams have comparable tops of the rotation, but we "lack dominance"? This is really a terrible argument. I've also just realized I've spent the last 50 or so posts of mine arguing with people who don't think games in Petco Park are real.
-
The argument appears to be "if we get the worst case scenario for all 5 starters, then the rotation won't be as good as many think". What you call "worst case scenario," I call "reasonable projection." "If Dempster's 2008 was entirely luck and reverts to average AND Harden gets hurt and misses time AND Zambrano has his worst year ever AND Peavy's road splits from 2008 and 2006 are somehow much more predictive than his road splits from 2007, 2005, and 2004; then our rotation may not be so grand" is not "reasonable projection", it's devil's advocate nonsense.
-
Those are not total production stats, those are rate stats. If you can promise me that Harden pitches 150+ innings for the Cubs next season, then my opinion of the rotation increases a bit. Add in Marshall's or Shark's or Gaudin's or whoever's starts in his stead if he gets hurt then.

Discounting Harden by the odds of injury (not saying he's not a great value at his salary and projected output), I'd say the following teams have duos that I'd say are comparable to Peavy/Harden: Kazmir/Shields Halladay/Litsch or Marcum Lee/Sabathia Lowe/Billingsly Webb/Haren If you had to pick one of those six duos for a single 2009 season, I don't think Peavy/Harden is a no-brainer choice. Lowe and Sabathia are free agents, and none of Kazmir, Shields, Litsch, Marcum, Billingsley, or Lowe are as good as either Peavy or Harden. So really the only 1/2 that compares is Arizona, and yet we lack dominance" in that situation? Wanna take a 2009 bet on production from Harden vs. Kazmir or Billingsley? Name your (non-monetary) terms and preferred total value stat. I don't really care about terms, but take a look at their FIP or ERA+ after next season if it means that much to you.
