But it wouldn't be a 3-way tie. OSU would have 2 losses, Illinois and Michigan only 1. That's wrong, but it does make me realize Andy's error. If UM wins they have 1 Big 10 loss(Wisky), whiles OSU(UI, UM) and UI (UM, Iowa) have 2 losses. Well yeah, I was still in the hypothetical where Illinois beat Iowa.

That's a lot of outfielders moving around. -

You mean that 8 point beatdown of Northeastern at home didn't inspire confidence? That same Northeastern team took Maryland to OT last night, so I wouldn't feel too bad about it.

Why Ceda and Huseby over Hernandez?
-
I'm not so sure that I want to put together a sizable package for somebody who's going to OBP .340 if everything turns out right. Thought processes like that are what gave us the 2006 rotation.

YOU'RE bitter...I'M bitter. UM/OSU would be essentially meaningless if you guys had just beaten Iowa, because you'd have clinched a Rose Bowl berth by now. This has been said multiple times, but how is it true? If Michigan beats OSU it leaves them and hypothetical Illinois tied, with Michigan winning head-to-head.

I have no words. I can't even find a way that this could potentially make sense.

hopefully losing to KU won't put you out of the hunt for a BCS at-large bid. :wink: 2007 season fantasies only, plz

Best Rivalry in College Football
Transmogrified Tiger replied to TruffleShuffle's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Like was mentioned in this week's college football thread, there aren't too many rivalries that go back to the entire states hating each other during the civil war, with the burning of towns and raping and pillaging and such. I'd say that Mizzou-Kansas is close to being the most passionate, although that doesn't necessarily mean best, IMO. As much as it pains me, I voted Michigan-OSU. -
Rich Hill through age 27 looks a whole lot like Erik Bedard through age 27.

So was Todd Hollandsworth.

First we pick up Trachsel's option and now this? Curse you, Jim Hendry of Ken Rosenthal's fantasyland.

I'd rather play the semi-talented hacks from Mexico over and over again than the untalented hacks that make up most of the rest of CONCACAF.

Jeremy Jeffress Fails Another Drug Test
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
right, but then why not prohibit players from drinking alcohol? After all, most people who drink alcohol in their 20s will get drunk, some will get behind the wheel and drive, or get in a fight, or fall and get hurt. Or just get fat. They don't prohibit the players from smoking marijuana, the law does. -
Jeremy Jeffress Fails Another Drug Test
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
If he gets kicked out of baseball and loses millions of dollars in the future because of it, I would say it is a "problem". way to completely miss the point. Given that it's in his contract, he should not have been getting high. But marijuana is not a performance-enhancing drug, nor is it a significantly-addictive drug, so I don't think MLB/MiLB should be testing for it. It's the same reason other employers do drug screening. Accounting firms aren't worried about PEDs, they're worried about their (potential) employees doing something illegal, whether it be marijuana or PCP. That brings up an entirely different argument, but there's definitely a reason for the testing. -
er, john brown. Yeah, I know who it's supposed to be, but the rest of the look(beard, two tablets in the other hand that are supposed to be a book), gave me a different initial impression.
-
Ned Colletti considers that a dare.
-
That picture looks like someone stuck a shotgun in Moses' off hand.
-
How about stopping at #2? Soriano Kemp A-Rod Loney A-Ram Murton DeRosa Soto Use Pie + Marshall to upgrade the rotation.
-
That shirt is amazing. Reminds me of the student near our section that dressed up like Quantrill for the Kansas game last year.

What do you mean by full season? As a starter? I'd have no interest in either starting. However, given Fontenot's numbers vs RHP this year, .297/.358/.423, I would think he'd be able to at least come close, if not exceed, Infante's career .257/.301/.387 line, as a part-time player. Fontenot v. RHP June: .410/.449/.689 Every other month: .239/.318/.289 What site did you find those numbers at? I was trying to find that breakdown earlier, but couldn't. Thanks in advance. MLB.com is the only site that lets you do double situational splits like that, at least to my knowledge.

You can't believe this. He's 25, and he's been at least league average away from his cavernous home park for the last 3 years. It's not a guarantee by any stretch, but to write him off to awful production like he's Jose Macias or something is ignoring the context of his career.
-
Which words would be eaten? The ones saying he won't play enough to hurt the team, or the ones saying his pathetic out making offense won't help the team? About his offense.
