Transmogrified Tiger

My goodness Coletti is horrible.

The Big 12 says that the holding call against Mizzou on 4th and goal from the 1 was bogus, and the guilty party never actually made contact with the contested "holdee". Link Unbelievable.

Maybe, but since most relievers are second rate pitchers anyway, it's going to be a bunch of mediocre pitching. And you would routinely be in situations where nobody has more than 1 day's rest. It wouldn't have to be all relievers. You aren't going to get many very good pitchers to agree to be used that way, since it would hold back their earnings ability. You'd need a good farm system, which brings up the point, do you implement this at your minor league affiliates too? I dunno, the thought crossed my mind and it piqued my curiosity.

This brought up a random thought. What if a team did not have a starting rotation? Could you benefit from using 12(maybe 13 in the AL) pitchers to handle each game?

I still don't understand the rostering of Cherry.

I disagree. I think if Arkansas runs the table in the SEC (or Florida wins the SEC title) they should go in over USC. Yes, Arkansas lost to USC, I know, but the SEC is a better conference that the Pac-10 and USC lost to an unranked team. I don't think the difference is near enough to make up for the fact that USC went to Arkansas and kicked the crap out of them. Same thing for ND/Michigan. Exactly. If this same argument was being made for ND/Michigan (assuming Michigan had hypothetically lost to an unranked team of course) people would be blowing their stacks in defense of the Wolverines. If USC wins out, they should go. If Florida wins out, I'd say they should go. If Arkansas win out and USC doesn't, they should go. If none of those happen then UM can play the rematch. I could get behind that, but what if Florida and USC win out? USC would go IMO. Both teams would've beaten Arkansas, but USC also would have beaten ND and Cal, which easily trumps Florida's next most impressive wins over Tennessee and LSU IMO. Just to play devil's advocate, let's say LSU beats Arkansas. Is Florida's win over LSU better than USC's over Notre Dame? I think you could pretty easily argue LSU is a better win(side note: USC and Florida were both at home for those games, so no difference there). Then you have Tennessee v. Cal. Both have 3 losses, and Tennessee ripped Cal to shreds; plus Florida won at Tennessee while USC beat Cal at home. Other factors in Florida's favor include having a "better" loss and playing in a stronger conference.

He also says Murton is a good defensive left fielder which shows he hasn't really been paying attention. I love Murton but he struggled defensively last year. By most defensive metrics Murton was an above average defender, and in my watching I don't see what's so outrageous about the claim.

I don't suppose there's any way Maurice Drew and the Jacksonville defense outscore Fred Taylor by 37. It's like my team is feeding off the Mizzou football season.

Schmidt would be FANTASTIC.

This is a good point. Some of the contracts that seemed way out of line when they were signed, are looking better now. Player contracts are trending up so it might take some of the sting off this one, down the road. That's what people thought when Hampton, Giambi, Jeter, and A-Rod signed their contracts 5-7 years ago.

EnslavedByTheBell: Keep in mind, HOK are the same people who designed Camden Yards for the Orioles, and then designed every other major league park to look like it, only misshapen.

Really? I have a soft spot for it. The first season was watchable, it's just garbage now

you gots to step up yo postings

he jumps on the little kids head with skates on "i hate you coach, i hate you" "no.......hope"

let them play the red wings

everyone needs to bust out their favorite troll memory, I'm sure I've forgotten some great ones. I'll start: The cards talk infestation

"they look pretty strong coach, I think nelson's gonna die for sure" and now Blur's song 2 while they skate aimlessly, absolutely awesome

It easily has the "meaningless content" award locked up. You weren't around for the old "chit-chat" threads in social. Yeah, this thread needs about 40 times as much content, then it might be close.

What caused 20000 hits on 12/7 last year? December 7, 2005: Traded by the Florida Marlins to the Chicago Cubs for Sergio Mitre, Ricky Nolasco, and Renyel Pinto.

There were only two good parts to that episode. But overall, it sucked. I refuse to believe you are serious. It was one of the best of the season IMO. Nah, this season had much, MUCH better episodes than that one. I haven't watched South Park this season, but this is my 3rd time seeing this episode. It kills me. "I can't talk to him, I'm just his dad. But you, coach, you're like a father to him." You can watch any South Park episode you want here: http://allabout-sp.net/ http://www.tv-links.co.uk/index.html OMG they have Sifl And Olly! sorry in advance for ruining your marriage
