Florida walking over Arkansas, 17-0 now.

It'd be a rematch of a game that was just played.

And if JLS had any ability to rebound from a tough loss at all and MSU had played even close to that well in future games, they'd have won at least three more games and been a strong bowl team. But then again, the devil's in the if's. The loss to Notre Dame didn't have that much to do with John L. Smith. That was almost all Stanton. Michigan State a 7 win team? They only looked pretty good against Eastern Michigan at home. That was about it. They then looked either terrible or bad during every single Big Ten game. Michigan State may have played Notre Dame well, but they were not a decent team by any stretch of the imagination. That's the point. They should have been. If you can play that well against ND, why the hell can't you get it up to play well against Illinois, Indiana, etc? That was my point. Shouldn't an entire Big Ten season of play carry more wieght than three quarters in a non-con game? Of course it should. I'm not saying it doesn't. The point is that Michigan State played well against ND, so to say they barely escaped a "crappy" Michigan State team, while technically true, shadows the fact that the Spartans played well enough to win that game. You can't subject a game to "this team played better than their record for most of it". Then you'd have to subject that to every game, which is ridiculous.

Arizona going on a run, and the crowd is into it, they lead by 2. Foul trouble abound for the Illini, 3 bigs with 4 fouls.

Sammy Mejia can't be stopped right now. 58-53 Depaul, 1:18 left

Aurilia to Giants
Transmogrified Tiger replied to E.J.'s topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Well, when you put up the following numbers you are probably going to be classified as a type-a free agent. .300/.349/.518 23 HR 25 2B 70 RBI He had a very good year for the Reds. Free Agent classifications are based on the last 2 seasons. In this case, Aurilia was still not bad in '05, but I thought it was worth pointing out. -
DePaul giving Kansas a game up in Chicago. 47-43 kU with 7:30 remaining. DePaul can't hit a free throw to save their lives.
-
Payton is 34, has never been good at getting on base, cannot hit right handed pitching, and isn't anything special defensively in CF. I'd much rather play Pie.

Trot Nixon
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Bruce Miles's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
That doesn't make any sense. -
I think the lettering looks really cool, but it doesn't go well with the front.
-
This isn't really surprising. Both he and McCoy are freshman and with Mack Brown choosing McCoy combined with McCoy playing well, Snead realized he wasn't going to play. Should be interesting to see where he transfers to. Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plains You already took Nichol, where does the greed end?
-
Explain who is playing left field and I might be sold on this offseason plan. Floyd and Murton works for me. Ack, just Murton. Soriano Covelli/Murton Lee Ramirez Barrett Murton/DeRosa Lugo/Covelli DeRosa/Lugo
-
Willis is available in a trade. Petitte is still out there. For cost/performance, I'll still take Lilly.
-
Jones for Jennings Sign Lugo and Schmidt Izturis for Crisp Soriano Covelli Lee Ramirez Barrett DeRosa Lugo Z, Schmidt, Jennings, Hill, Miller/Prior
-
wowowowow, that was awesome To answer a couple questions, Mizzou's talent isn't THAT low. The team is composed of quite a few top 100 guys, Snyder was always able to recruit but not coach. And yes, I think they're capable of beating U of I, although I would probably be surprised to see it happen. If they continue to shoot this well from beyond the arc(Matt Lawrence is a golden god) they're going to beat a lot of teams.

The Pac 10 was arguably the best conference in the nation this year. :lol:

Pujols: MVPs should be from playoff teams
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Laura's topic in General Baseball Talk
He did? http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/bondsba01.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/p/pujolal01.shtml .341/.529/.749, 231 OPS+ .359/.439/.667, 189 OPS+ Yes he did, and it wasn't even close. -
Why is Joe Crede so overrated?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Magnetic Curses's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Ensberg loves him some Minute Maid Park. Is he really much better than Crede away from it? -
Does a guy like Ryu (or most of the young guys actually) even have at least a 30% chance of giving the team an ERA under 5.00 next year? Batista will almost certainly do that-his 2 highest ERA years in the last 6 have been 4.80 and 4.58. Batista would be a certain upgrade from most of the young starters simply because he is going to be reliably average, while people like Ryu would be wonderful if they were average next year, but they are most likely going to be terrible. As a starter Batista is giving up a WHIP over 1.50, he's walking almost as many as he strikes out(combining poor walk and strikeout rates), giving up an OPS around .780 with an OBP over .355, and he'll be 36 before the season starts. We're much better off giving just about any of our young pitchers an extended look, because his ERA will catch up with those peripherals in a hurry.
-
I'm pretty sure I'd rather give Ryu a rotation spot than Batista.
-
did a ksu player punch someone tonight? edit: yes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2ZuIXI1VgM let the huggins era begin. Colon's a freshman too, that should mean Huggins brought him in. Wow.

Pujols: MVPs should be from playoff teams
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Laura's topic in General Baseball Talk
Saying that the MVP should come from a playoff team means something different in the Dominican. -
At least UNM and Cal are pretty solid teams. Looks like it'll be almost Christmas before you get another chance to see what they're made of, though.
-
Picking from that selection, I'll take Padilla + Westbrook.

Mock Headline #2
Transmogrified Tiger replied to HoopsCubs's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
By the end of the offseason, Jones could definitely have some value considering his contract in this market, and he had a career year too. Especially if some team gets shut out from making offensive upgrades. Unfortunately, the one GM who is just ga-ga for overvaluing player's break out 06 seasons is the one and only Jim Hendry. Bill Stoneman says hi. I don't think anyone will top the GMJ signing. Sabean & Juan Pierre You mean Colletti and Pierre.
