  1. Longest game thread since June 5 against the Astros.
  2. My only ND game this year will be Stanford... Troy Smith, Chris Leak, Brian Brohm, Ginn, Michael Bush, Steve Slaton, Sam Keller and Pat White round out Fox Sports's top 10 Heisman candidates after Quinn and Peterson, but at least at the start of the season it looks to me like a two-horse race between the latter two unless Smith keeps up the form he exhibited at the Fiesta (not entirely likely because it won't get much easier than ND's 2005 secondary). I would even go so far as to consider Quinn the favorite solely because he's a quarterback. If both players put up great numbers, a quarterback is usually going to have the advantage over a running back. A QB's Heisman chances are wrapped up in the record of the team. With a team like ND if he loses more than one game I don't think Quinn wins it. If Quinn puts up amazing numbers and the defense clearly causes ND to lose a game or two (but not more than 2), I think he wins the Heisman. This is Notre Dame not a middle of the road school. The same would go for any major football school. You also have to factor in that Quinn is a senior as well. If Quinn puts up the numbers and ND finishes 10-2 or better, he wins the Heisman.
  3. They came close though, and that's what counts. Close only counts in horsehoes. :wink: Don't forget about hand grenades and suicide bombing.
  4. You forgot Glendon Rusch as the starting pitcher.
  5. Not surprising. Barrett should be in the ASG as well, but the Cubs having only 1 All-Star is fitting for this team.
  6. That captioner had to be a Cubs fan. Some of those were hilarious.
  7. Since they scored 15 runs today against the White Sox, will the Cubs score more or less than 15 runs in the next seven games. The Astros starters will be Clemens, Pettitte, and Oswalt. The Brewers have Capuano, Zach Jackson, Dave Bush, and Doug Davis going. Make your pick: more, less, or exactly 15?
  8. There would be so many plays up for consideration that it would take weeks to narrow down.
  9. I'm assuming that is the diving play from the other day?
  10. A few thoughts: -Barrett definately should be in there. -According to that list Oakland, Texas, and Kansas City are the only AL teams without a rep which means Ozzie will have 6 spots left to fill with his guys. -It's interesting that both first basemen for the AL - Jim Thome and David Ortiz - rarely play in the field.
  11. Can somebody take a bat to his back so he has to go back on the DL? Please? I'm sure we could get a pot started for whoever does this.
  12. Definately Dempster.
  13. The way Dempster has been going, I wouldn't say this is a good thing.
  14. Even with the Cubs winning I can barely handle listening to Hawk and DJ. It's virtually unbearable.
  15. Pagan is in left field and Pierre is in center.
  16. Hawk is the reason I quit watching them when they were on. The rule is, if the Sox are winning, turn them off. If they are losing, its pure gold. Break out the tivo, VCR, microphone, whatever. Agreed. They are completely miserable when the Sox are losing.
  17. you really think he can't leave that job if he's offered a GM position elsewhere? i highly doubt there's not a clause in his contract that allows him to opt out if he's offered a GM position. Agreed. And I would love to have DePodesta as the Cubs GM.
  18. Don't worry, that offense is about to go into hibernation. I'm putting the over/under at runs scored over the next week at 20. They play 7 games and will likely be facing Clemens, Pettitte, and Oswalt for the Astros, and Capuano, Zach Jackson (a lefty), Dave Bush, and Doug Davis for the Brewers.
