Does anybody else think it is about time to lay off Muskat? I think it's time to stop tossing an r into her name, but her awfulness bears repeating so her columns aren't taken seriously.
What more does Ohman have to do to be considered a good LOOGY? Lefties hit .158/.277/.257/.535 off him, good for a 1.00 WHIP, 13+ K/9, and 3+ K/BB. He's not BJ Ryan, but cripes, he gets lefties out, a lot.
Not trading Nolasco and Pinto does not relegate you to losing them or others in Rule V. They could have been used in a deal where we got someone better than an offensive wasteland that throws like a quadriplegic, for example.
What's the alternative, Butterfield? They need to make sure Gordon doesn't go crazy. He's not that big, bring in Tiller to harass him. I'm not sure, why isn't Grimes starting lately? He played really well early in the year. I like a five of Hannah-Keon-Lyons-M. Lawrence-Grimes Lyons is a much better fit for the system and he's outplayed Grimes recently. Mizzou miraculously leads 43-37 at the break despite a lengthy stretch where they were outscored by 23 points.
That is a real ringing endorsement of BP's forecasting ability. Clearly, if you're not going to be 100% accurate on every player, then why bother I say.
The Cavs are hosting the Spurs and they're relegated to NBA TV. Of course, there are no national games tonight, probably since they didn't want to bother competing with the BCS.
Mizzou closes out the non-con tonight against Mississippi State in Columbia. Getting a second win against the SEC and going 11-2 in the non-con would be a great accomplishment. Tyler Hansbrough's brother Ben is a freshman guard for the Bulldogs, he probably won't get a "welcome home" ovation.
They used something like that in the passing game to get two touchdowns in the bowl game. Coffman's pass to Saunders was the screen where Coffman just threw it, and Alexander's wide open TD was after Daniel pumped the screen to Coffman and sucked up the safety. That running play was pretty sweet though. I noticed that the left side was completely bare, but I couldn't figure out what they were going to do with it.
