    Hahaha, and hitting second. And that girl with Orton in your sig picture is hideous. Jack-Goggles.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Tim Kurkjian (sp?) said the Cardinals were gong to stick with the rotation they set before the series. Weaver will go in Game 1 tomorrow.

    The game has been postponed due to rain. Friday will no longer be an off day for the Mets and Cardinals.

    I couldn't do any job that required finding bodies on the street. My brother in law is a PA State Trooper and I'm sure he's seen his share of bad things in highway crashes, etc. Glad there are braver people than I to do this. I agree. I have a hard enough time getting routine shots from doctors. The last thing I want to see is a dead body on a street.

    "Cubs fans don't like the challenge of Piniella coaching their team."

    There is a thread in Baseball Discussions about this as well.

    I don't know if any of this is serious, but Mike and Mad Dog need to own up if it is. Seriously, there is a certain level of criticism that athletes need to learn to take, especially in a big market. But there is also a line that should not be crossed. Some might think it's "entertainment" to drag a guy through the mud on the public airwaves. I do not. Most of the NY media need a wake up call. It's unfortunate that it had to happen like this... What did they say about Lidle on Monday?

    They just had an update on ESPN. He's one of four people dead.

    I don't have a problem with this and think it's funny. It changes the start times by a couple minutes. Not a big deal.
  12. soccer10k
    My favorite example is Stalin or Hitler. And I'm not pulling for either. I want the A's to win but I'll pull for the Tigers if they beat the A's.
  13. soccer10k
    Beat you by one minute Raisin. Plus, mine offered more information. :D
  14. soccer10k
    And the A's are off to a bad start.

    http://espn-ak.starwave.com/i/mlb/profiles/players/65x90/7590.jpg 17-9, 3.63 ERA ALDS Game 2 vs NYY: 5.1 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER vs http://espn-ak.starwave.com/i/mlb/profiles/players/65x90/5368.jpg 11-9, 4.89 ERA ALDS Game 2 vs MIN: 5 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 ER GO A'S!!

    The starters for Game 2 are listed as TBA on the A's mlb.com site. I would think that Harden would start though. As per Oakland's mlb.com page, Loaiza will start game 2, Haren likely in Game 3, and Harden in Game 4. The A's have apparently changed their minds on the Game 3 and Game 4 starters. Once again, as per the A's mlb.com page Harden will start Game 3 and Haren will start Game 4. The A's likely did this so, if the series goes that far, Harden will start Game 7 instead of Haren. Kenny Rogers and Jeremy Bonderman will start Games 3 and 4 respectively for the Tigers.

    Is it March yet?
  18. soccer10k
    Yeah this couldn't possibly be why I'd want to see ND beat that overhyped conference. I actually think ND would match up better with SEC teams because ND's weakness is their defense and the SEC isn't known for having potent offenses. ND-Florida and ND-Auburn would be good games. I think Tennessee would pose a bigger threat to ND than any other SEC team.
  19. soccer10k
    That's not too surprising. That's actually why early BCS standings have to be seen as only guides. For example, if Florida beats Auburn next week that will probably be enough to push them higher in the computers and pass USC. ND will start to drop closer to what the polls say as they continue to play the easy part of their schedule (although as teams lose that should counterbalance that effect). WV is getting killed in the computers because of their schedule (their opponents have a 5-19 record so far). As the weeks go on, look for most of the strange things to settle out-the interesting thing will still be WV. Can they rise in the computer rankings? They will definitely rise a lot higher than they are now in certain rankings, but they might even be ranked behind a couple 1 loss teams at the end in some computer rankings that award SOS so highly. Louisville has just as good of a chance to run the table as WVU does in the Big East.

    3/16 would be as high as I'd be willing to go with Juan, and with Pie on the way, I really don't want to go three years. I'd just offer him arbitration and take the picks that come with him. Dave Roberts or Kenny Lofton offer the same skills as Pierre for fewer years and less money. I would offer two years at the most to Pierre but would probably just offer him arbitration.

    Georgia was giving up 6 points a contest against Western Kentucky, South Carolina(The barely beating Wofford SC), UAB, Ole Miss, and Colorado. Georgia is not good. And if I remember correctly not scoring much more than 6 a game (which could be wrong). Georgia was barely beating some very weak teams. 48-12 over Western Kentucky 18-0 over South Carolina 34-0 over UAB 14-13 over Colorado 14-9 over Ole Miss Well you just blew that thought to hell. Thanks :D I still stand by my belief that they are not good. I'm with you though, I don't think Georgia is very good either. A good team shouldn't be shut out for 3 quarters and need a touchdown with less than a minute left to beat a still winless Colorado team in Athens. Colorado had more first downs and outgained Georgia on the day. And the score against Ole Miss was indicative of the actual game. Georgia had one less first down and only five more yards than Ole Miss. So it's not like Georgia gained more yards than both but committed a couple costly turnovers.

    Who knows what's going on in Steinbrenner's head.
  24. soccer10k
    They could still trade him, though, right? I would think so since he was never a free agent so he was always property of the Twins.
  25. soccer10k
    There is a lot of doubt that he'd want to go to the west coast, and be that much further from Miami. Chicago is about the same distance as NY. Maybe he would relish the opportunity to play daytime baseball in Chicago, which he might percieve as less pressure, but a much higher reward for his legacy if he should lead the Cubs to a World Series... To argue the other side of it, maybe he would want out of the pressure of a major market? Chicago is still pretty high profile. Chicago is high profile and there would be pressure on ARod but there is so much more pressure when you are playing for the Yankees. The pressure that Steinbrenner puts on his team and players is unparalleled. But I see your point. I want to say that Cubs fans wouldn't boo ARod and wouldn't get mad at him if he went into a slump but then I look at ARam this year and I realize that anything is possible.
