Johnson Edge James v. Buffalo Steve Slaton v. Indy

If the Cubs beat the Dodgers, I immediately expect the Cubs to win the World Series. In fact, if the Cubs win the first game against the Dodgers, that will do a lot to get the monkey off their backs and make me feel a lot more confident. I agree for the most part. Scoring a couple runs off Lowe and winning Game 1 eliminates any chance to use that excuse of not being sharp from not having a game of importance in weeks. It also removes the best matchup the Dodgers have. If we get past LA, I'm much more confident in being able to win a 7 game series against Philly or Milwaukee. The world series? It depends on the opponent, but again, the big strength of the Cubs this year was depth throughout, and a 7 game series plays to that strength.

Big thanks to wolfman for not starting his newly acquired QB and WR this week. Took me from a 3 point loss to a 40 point win.

If Virginia Tech's offense can go to Lincoln and put up 35 points in primetime, then I think Mizzou could push 60. Mizzou's history in Lincoln still terrifies me, but the gap between the two teams isn't really different from last year when Mizzou won by 5 touchdowns.

Postseason Bullpen Unofficially Announced
Transmogrified Tiger replied to killthegoat06's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'll take Gaudin for the last spot. -
Calling Clemson a "Top 10 team" and "a quality win" while Illinois "isn't anybody" is hilarious. Playing the rationalization game doesn't get you anywhere. Doing that, Clemson is the team who just lost to Maryland("lost to Middle Tennessee State" Maryland). They gave up 30 points to a Georgia team that scored one touchdown against awful South Carolina. That said, Bama has a stronger resume than Mizzou to this point. Being such the margin of victory advocate that you are, I'm surprised you're not more of a Mizzou fan.

Sheets with "cutting sensation" in elbow
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in General Baseball Talk
I think that's what Chet Steadman would've said to the media. -
LSU dismantled preseason number 10 Auburn, and Mizzou has trailed for about 10 seconds this season. I was surprised to see BYU that high too.

I have no idea what a pity fan is.

A 4 loss Michigan team beat Florida in Orlando. There is no way to spin that as being a positive thing for the SEC.

There aren't exactly an abundance of great options for that spot if DeRosa doesn't play. so we're completely writing off Kosuke now? Kosuke has a .621 OPS in the second half and .475 in September. I'm saying he's not such a slam dunk that advocating the red hot Hoffpauir is worthy of derision.

Rivers

I think the point of the thread was regarding whether he should make the playoff roster over Ward, not replace Lee as the everyday starter at first. i think people are suggesting he start in RF if DeRosa isn't healthy There aren't exactly an abundance of great options for that spot if DeRosa doesn't play.

Have the mets lose one of their next two, and sweep the Brewers into obscurity. The Mets make it in over the Brewers, Santana has to pitch on Sunday, the Brewers don't get their playoff revenue and can't keep the necessary pitching to be competitive next year, it's the best of all worlds

Difference Between A Curveball And A Slider?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Ski's topic in General Baseball Talk
Everyone throws a screwball nowadays, they just call it a two-seamer. -
The fact that people get denied applications for adoption doesn't mean there is not a shortage of adoptive parents. http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/stats_research/afcars/trends.htm And that's just in the United States.

Who do you want to come out of the American League?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to imb's topic in General Baseball Talk
The worst team so it's the easiest route. So the Twins. Save that, the "best" team to shut up the AL. So the Angels. Which works out well since they're actually the second worst team. -
Is that the goal that comes after "choke away national title opportunity to an awful team"?

200 K's in a season? It's gonna happen.
Transmogrified Tiger replied to soccer10k's topic in General Baseball Talk
Um, what? Define "productive." There are 12 players with 140+ strikeouts. 8 of them have at least an .850 OPS, and 2 more are center fielders slightly above .800. There are 30 players with less than 70 strikeouts. 8 of them have at least an .800 OPS. 7 are in the .600's. -
Look for yourself.
-
Slaton, Ocho Cinco, or Braylon EDIT: I guess throw Edge James in there too since he's starting at a RB slot.
-
What's their incentive? He's not a FA until after 2010 and is the only pitcher with any ability on their roster save Soria.

i'll go out on a limb and guess it won't be played in West Lafayette Duke is coming to Purdue this year. color me shocked. Duke almost NEVER plays an OOC game outside of North Carolina The B10/ACC Challenge is pretty much the only time they do so. And the game is in West Lafayette.

Can you really call Dempster a low upside guy compared to Burnett? You can argue the likelihood of him repeating it, but this year is just as good or better than any year of Burnett's career.
