Wonder what Edmonds was looking for there.

I hate you Rick Ankiel.

Yes, because the polls are perfect.

I wouldn't call them the worst conference, which team in the ACC is really any better than Wisconsin/Ohio State/Penn State, hell even though Michigan really let things get past them the two weeks, there is no team in the ACC or even the Big East that I would pick above those 4 teams. (I'm looking at you West Virginia, prove you can play some defense and throw the ball) And don't get me started on the Big 12 North, hell even the Big 12 South is unimpressive except for Oklahoma, Texas by all rights SHOULD have lost against UCF. I think we are just seeing a lot more parity in D1A, and that makes the Big 10 look a bit worse because they are in a bit of a down year. But make no mistake, there are some very quality programs in that conference. I would take WVU over anyone in the Big 10 and would probably take Louisville as well (hello passing offense). Rutgers could also probably beat anyone in the Big 10 on any given night also. As for the Big 12, Oklahoma is the only reason that conference is better than the Big 10. The ACC is probably on par with the Big 10. For some reason, I always forget about them. Even when I say 'BCS conferences', I seem to forget about the ACC. Actually I'll take that back, the Big 10 is better than the ACC. I was thinking about making an argument for Clemson and BC but I couldn't. As for your final paragraph, I was thinking about that the other day and I agree, there seems to be more parity this year. There just seem to be a lot more good teams that can beat the top teams on any given day. There also seem to be a lot more teams that aren't traditionally good who are getting better.

Let me just say HAHAHAHA!! The Big 10 is HORRIBLE!! There is no doubt in my mind that it's the worst of the BCS conferences. Wisconsin tied with The Citadel at half. Minnesota losing to FAU Iowa losing to ISU Northwestern losing to Duke. The Big 10 is garbage and there's no other way to say it. And I'll go ahead and predict it: Michigan will beat Penn State next week which will make the conference lose even more credibility.

besides Tennessee, who do you bump to get both Alabama and Kentucky into the top 25? Clemson won their game fairly easily. BC is about to beat a higher ranked team. Hawaii will probably rack it up against UNLV. Oregon and A&M rolled. does GT get dropped down farther than Arkansas for some reason. the sense of entitlement is sickening. like I said, if it happens it will be an absolute joke. South Carolina has no business in the top 25 in the first place. UCLA should get dropped from the Top 25.

The solution is very, very simple. Don't bring Dempster into the game in non-save situations.

I really hope I don't have to see Floyd in a Cubs uniform in 2008.

See you in 2009, Angel.

That seams reasonable to me as well except my guess is its only 2 of 3 against STL. The Brewers are a better team than SD in miller park, they are just a lot better team at home and SD plays poorly in HR hitting parks so I think a split is a very fair expectation. Of course the way the Brewers have played this season I wouldn't rule out them winning 12 of the games or winning just 5 of the games. They have had so many ups and downs and rarely at any point played .500 ball over a stretch. They are either hot or not. Agreed because I don't think you can assume a sweep of any team.

Just out of curiosity, what's the deal with the game threads? Are there two separate threads for the games or are both games discussed here?

I sweep would have been ideal for the Cards but 3 out of 4 would be okay as well since that would put them at 3 back. But anything less than winning the final three games of the series all but kills them.

(a) and (b). He has a hole in his swing and big leaguers are bound throw offspeed pitch after offspeed pitch now that it's been exposed. I can't help but think the HGH controversy has gotten to his head too. He has struggled under pressure in the past too. That's what I figured; it's both the pitchers adopting to him and Ankiel being a headcase.

8-7 Yankees. EDIT: This game has been going on for over four hours and is only in the top of the eighth.

Oklahoma State getting killed tonight 37-10...to TROY.

CUBS WIN!!! CUBS WIN!!!

Oh thank god they won.

I think I'm about to jump off a cliff.

Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap.

Oh god. Please no. Thanks for making us use Howry tonight, Demp.

Good lord Demp. Just end this thing.

What was said? The didnt say any specifics, just that he may have burned some bridges. Are you talking about TLR?

One more, Demp.

WARD!!!
