  1. I have a feeling this series will not be returning to San Diego.
  2. Tuesday. Forgot that part in the title but I figured I would start this early. GO A'S!!
  3. The Louisville-WVU game is going to be good. And I think Louisville is a solid team and should be considered 'someone'.
  4. My top 10: 1. OSU 2. Florida 3. Michigan 4. USC 5. WVU 6. Louisville 7. Tennessee 8. Cal 9. Texas 10. Notre Dame
  5. But that could very well lead to Joe Torre taking Piniella's place in Hendrys plan. I dont know which one is worse for the Cubs to hire, Torre or Piniella. Both of them are not good managers. I bet Torre retires.
  6. Yes, Carl Crawford could get better and it's not hard to think that. I never said he has reached his ceiling yet. But as long as we're using age as a factor here, Cabrera is just 23 so he could, and probably will, get even better than he is right now. The discussion wasn't about which player was more available and which could be obtained for less. It was about which player is better right now and who will be better in the future. Cabrera is far better than Crawford is now and it's likely to stay that way.
  7. http://espn-ak.starwave.com/i/mlb/profiles/players/65x90/7014.jpg 13-13, 3.84 ERA ALDS Game 1 vs NYY: 5.2 IP, 12 H, 7 R, 7 ER vs http://espn-ak.starwave.com/i/mlb/profiles/players/65x90/6394.jpg 16-10, 3.83 ERA ALDS Game 1 vs Min: 8 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER GO A'S!!
  8. Now I don't have to worry about my dad bragging about the Dodgers winning the World Series.
  9. It's october and he was 1-11 with 0BB before game 4, 1-14 after. Simple fact of the matter is Arod bats in the middle of the order Joe Torre is stupid, Arod bats at the bottom of the order Joe Torre is stupid. I don't know if you are trying to bring new york baseball politics into this with your statement, but the simple fact of the matter is he's Alex fricken Rodriguez. 1-11. that's one helluva sample size on which to judge. Damon was 0-7 in games 2 and 3. did he get dropped in the lineup? Sheffield, Bernie Williams did nothing. did they get dropped? the notion that Arod's performance was the sole purpose of him being dropped in the lineup is preposterous. It's also a fact that regardless of where ARod hits in the lineup, if he doesn't produce, he's going to get ripped. And if Torre kept ARod hitting in the heart of the order and ARod didn't produce, Torre would get ripped as well. It is New York baseball politics and you can't ignore that.
  10. I'm willing to bet that the Yankees would prefer to get starting pitching in return for ARod. Cashman's not an idiot and has to realize that the Yankees can afford to lose a bat from that lineup if it nets them solid starting pitching in return.
  11. No it doesn't. A short series doesn't mean anything. Before the Yankees series that great staff were routed by the Royals in three games. You're missing the point. The Yank-mes line-up was supposed to be this huge, unstoppable force, well, how'd that go for them? What stopped this unstoppable force? Great pitching. The Tigers had it, the Yanks, didn't. Simple. Two words: Sample size.
  12. I would love to have Bochy as well.
  13. When the Tigers beat the best lineup we'll ever see in our lifetime with superior pitching. (Getting ahead of myself, but Monroe just homered) Anything can happen is a short season. Yeah, but it's funny how often "Anything" happens in the postseason. The regular season is 162 games. Generally things will even out. In a best of 5 series, things don't have a chance to even out.
  14. I hope it works out like last week, when you picked Mizzou and Herbstreit went with Colorado. soccer10k: 2 Herbstreit: 0 ETA: I would also like to point out that in the Yahoo Pick Em League, I picked the final score of the game to be 35-21 (only off by three points). This follows the week in which my predicted score for OSU-Iowa was 38-17. Not to brag or anything. :^o
  15. If OU wins here, that cheat job in Oregon is going to be huge! Both Oregon and OU lose, doesn't matter anymore.
  16. Cal with the pick. GO BEARS!!
  17. Two straight pick 6's for Missouri. And the look on the faces of those two female Texas Tech fans captures it all.
  18. My top 5 is now: 1. Ohio St. 2. Florida 3. Michigan 4. West Virginia 5. USC
  19. Touchdown Texas!
  20. Ideal result: ARod goes 0-4 with 3 K's. The Yankees are down 1 going into the ninth and ARod either strikes out with the bases loaded or GIDP to end the game. I think he'd have to go into Witness Protection if that happened. As long as it's in Chicago. :wink:
  21. Go Gators.
