    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.

    He played in an All-Star game and won a Gold Glove award.

    I believe it starts with the team with the worst record in the league that the player on waivers plays in. Jones is on Atlanta (NL) so Pittsburgh would get the first shot, the Cubs would have the second. Kansas City would get it's shot after the NY Mets and Detroit would have the last shot.

    I guess I should clarify what I meant. I should have said "Does anyone else think ARam coming back could depend on Dusty Baker not coming back?" I think that ARam is more likely to leave if Dusty returns to the team. EDIT: I don't buy ARam's nice comments about Dusty to the media and think he was just saying them so he doesn't stir up any controversy in the clubhouse.

    Schimdt will end up with the Yankees... You mean Seattle. Count on it. The only saving grace is does he want to pitch in the AL? Well he grew up near Seattle, still has his home there, and has said many times how much he'd love to play for Seattle in his career. Since this is probably his last big contract, I'd say it's now. A lot of people in Seattle are practically pencilling him in. I think the Mariners will comply. So the Cubs now have virtually no chance of signing either Schmidt or Zito? Great. Middle of the road FA starter here we come.

    30-13 lead for The Who. Wow.
  15. soccer10k
    39-39. Come on Pink Floyd.

    IIRC, USC's defense in 05 was young and had lost a lot of starters. Doesn't ND's 06 defense return a majority of it's starters from 05? And I would be worried about what Texas loses at QB considering they tailored that offense for Vince Young.

    Uh huh. How many D1 teams would love Lloyds career record. He is among the winningest active football coaches in NCAA Division I-A, has won five Big Ten titles, and brought Michigan its first national championship in 49 years. He has led the Wolverines to five Top Ten finishes in the last nine seasons. The Wolverines have played in three Rose Bowl game and one Orange Bowl game under his leadership. Say what you want about last year, but over his career he is a model of consitancy and almost every AD in the nation would love to have their football program 'underachieve' so much. ND ranked #1 or #3 whats the difference. They are going to lose to Michigan in the 3rd week of the year anyway. 8) I hope you're right.
  18. soccer10k
    Not surprising that Texas wasn't ranked #1 since they will have an unproven quarterback. I thought OSU and ND would be 1-2 since they both have a majority of their offenses returning. I'm looking forward to OSU-Texas on September 9. Should be a good one.

    Good deal by the Sox. Get a replacement for Varitek, they probably don't have to pay much of his salary if any at all, and he'll be a FA after the year so the Sox aren't tied down next year.

    It will be nothing short of a travashamockery if Queen wins this matchup.
  21. soccer10k
    Looks like my prediction has been a bit off.

    With 11 K's in his last 16 AB's, Dunn now has 127 on the year putting him on pace for 191 K's. I have a good feeling about this year. On a side note, are there any projections out there that project how many K's a player is likely to amass in his career? He's up to 860 in his career and is just 26 (27 going into next season). The record is 2597 by Reggie Jackson. I'm just curious at his chances at the record. EDIT: Reggie had just 780 K's through his first 6 years (he played 35 games in his first year while Dunn played 66) so I figured I would add that comparison.

    ESPN.com Not a done deal yet though.

    Cubs Win!!!

    I hope he continues to improve and has a successful career with the Cubs.
