    Alright Murton.

    Fixed Fecal League Standings ---------------------------------- Team L W PCT GB Kansas City 71 38 .651 - Pittsburgh 68 42 .618 3.5 Tampa Bay 65 45 .591 6.5 Chicago 64 45 .587 7.0 Mine was correct because when the teams get a better record than the Cubs (i.e. if TB wins and the Cubs lose today) they move up and get contracted.

    Speaking of that Farnsworth fight, anybody remember this? Ha. Yeah, I remember that one. Good stuff.

    Urlacher didn't hit Benson very hard and it could be that he just hit him in the wrong place. Sometimes those things just happen. And Mike Brown didn't really even hit Benson.

    Speed. Defense comes next week. So bunting must be the following week then?

    My dad (Dodgers fan and Bonds hater) loves that play and remembers it like it was yesterday. Bonds couldn't throw out Bream and his two horrible legs. Everybody talks about Bonds' great arm (not true) but he couldn't throw out a guy who was slower than most of the catchers in the league. Purely awesome. EDIT: And wouldn't Francisco Cabrera be the Bill Mazeroski of our generation because he got the hit to drive in Bream?

    that sounds like something joe morgan would say. Hey, hey, hey. Completely unnecessary. I answered the question. Could Barrett win the batting title? Yes, he could. It is possible. Do I think he will? No. And for the record, Joe Morgan would say he hasn't seen Barrett play enough to know if he could win the batting title.

    Weaver isn't going to make enough starts for the Cy considering Liriano should make a few more and Verlander will make many more starts than Weaver. Papelbon will likely pitch the whole year as well. IMO Weaver could win the ROY but has no chance at the Cy. I don't think he will win either though.

    Seeing we are playing Pittsburgh I figure I'll post the updated Fecal League Standings. Fecal League Standings -------------------------------- Team W L PCT GB Chicago 45 64 .413 - Tampa Bay 45 65 .409 0.5 Pittsburgh 42 68 .382 3.5 Kansas City 38 71 .349 7.0

    I'm probably going to watch this game even though I know I'm going to be let down and disappointed by Prior's performance.

    42 all.

    ESPN.com story The only good thing for the Angels is that Colon has made just 10 starts this year and is 1-5 with a 5.11 ERA in those starts so he hasn't been a big part of their season this year. Even still, this won't help their chances to make the playoffs.

    Isn't Thomas Jones injured as well right now? If so, when is he supposed to return?

    Not me. Michigan the week AFTER Penn State is going to be very, very tough. Then we have to hope we don't have a let down the next week @Michigan State. If we get through the first four weeks unscathed, though, we're going to the championship game. Purdue-Stanford-UCLA-Navy-North Carolina-Air Force-Army are all blow outs waiting to happen. If we're undefeated going into USC, anything but a thrashing puts us in the title game. I'm assuming you mean anything but a thrashing of Notre Dame by USC. If so, that isn't the case. West Virginia could easily go undefeated as could the winner of the Ohio State-Texas game. With Bomar being done at OU, Texas will be the clear favorite in every other game and, with playing OSU at home, should be the favorite in that game as well. OSU will be the clear favorite in every game but the Texas game. As like last year, the winner of that game will emerge as a clear National Title contender. That being said, if Notre Dame runs the table, they will be in the title game. But if they barely lose to USC, it's far from a sure bet that they play for the National Title.

    But don't our guys have to clear waivers too or at least have no team worse than Atlanta claim them in order to trade with the Braves? It's hard for me to believe someone not claiming a Pie or Marshall, etc... I thought minor leaguers didn't have to clear. I might be wrong. You are probably right about Marshall though. I guess Mateo is a major leaguer now too, so you're right, my proposal won't work. I think it's just players on the 40 man roster that have to clear whether they are in the majors or not.

    The Padres solely because my dad wouldn't pull for the Cubs to make the playoffs so I'm not pulling for the Dodgers. He also didn't pull for the Cubs in 2003 in the playoffs. He takes great joy in reminding me that Cubs haven't won the World Series in 97 years and that Halley's Comet has passed twice since the Cubs last won the World Series.

    I think he could win it but I don't think he will win it.

    Random bit of information. The left fielder for the Pirates in that game who made that great throw to the plate was none other than Barry Bonds.

    Hey cl, I posted this in another thread but I'm not sure if you saw it. Do you have the Farnsworth-Wilson fight video? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks.

    Congrats to Maddux. I wish you well.

    Exactly. He's a fantastic LOOGY. Problem is, he's faced 112 righties this year as compared to 79 lefties. What the hell Dusty's thinking with this guy is anyone's guess. His numbers against lefties this season have been really, really good. Against righties...things get ugly. Cripes, he has a .72 WHIP against lefties and a 1.04 WHIP against righties. This is like Mike Remlinger all over again. Ugh. Where did you get those numbers? Ohman has a WHIP of 1.00 vs lefties and 1.64 vs righties for a 1.35 WHIP overall.

    Cubs lose.

    Evidently it's got to be done by 1 p.m. tomorrow (eastern time I think) It was reported that a claim was put in already. However, the team is unknown as off right now. So the question is did someone claim before he fell to the Red Sox chance. The Braves have until 1pm EST tomorrow to complete a trade.

    This year could be one of the most wide open years in recent memory. Nobody is a sure bet to make the title game especially with matchups like ND-USC and OSU-Texas. Last year virtually everybody had Texas-USC and the year before most people had Oklahoma-USC in the title game as well. It should be extremely entertaining. I agree with the thought that we could see a couple of one-loss teams playing for the title. As somebody else said, and I've thought this since the Sugar Bowl last year, but WVU has the best chance of going undefeated this year.
