    How is he bad for the team? Swisher's career OPS+ is only slightly worse than Bradley's and he's younger, cheaper, and not a lock to get injured like Bradley is.

    yeah because that's exactly what he said

    They led the league in runs, were extremely OBP heavy, and the production was spread evenly throughout the lineup. How was it flawed? They just choked, plain and simple. Stop looking for excuses to why they didn't score runs in the playoffs.

    Watching what? MLB Network isn't on yet... unless it's doing some sort of preview channel... is it? If so I need to know, asap I have the channel already... it's just kind of a preview. They're just cycling between a special on the 2004 Red Sox playoff run, the 2005 White Sox playoff run, and then some highlight show called "Baseball's Epic Moments" or something like that.

    Now that I look at it, he wasn't bad at all in 2007. For some reason I remembered him being worse that year... maybe because the home runs were down.

    I've been a fan of Swisher for a while (and not just because of Moneyball), but I don't know. He's gotten progressively worse over the last 3 seasons. I wouldn't give up that much for him I don't think. I'd rather have him than Abreu though.

    I could be wrong, but don't the Brewers now lose the Yankees first round pick? What do they get now?

    And the Cowboys and the Panthers and the Vikings. Cowboys? They don't impress me. The Bears outplayed the Panthers in Carolina (albeit with no Smith) and they are very much equal with the Vikings. The Panthers are a better team now. The Bears are a worse team. The Vikings have more talent in every facet of the game except kick returning. I'll give you Carolina, not Minnesota. Their "superb talent" is vastly overrated. They've got a couple fat guys on the DLine and Peterson. Their QBs are nothing, their receivers are unimpressive, the rest of their D hasn't exactly shut down the league. They allowed 48 points to the freaking Bears. They've played the same teams as the Bears and have the same record. They do not outclass the Bears. Those couple of fat guys are Pro Bowlers who lead maybe the best run defense in the league. Adrian Peterson is the best back in the league. That outclasses the Bears. Plus they have one of the best pass rushers in the league with Allen. Right now Jackson is a better QB than Orton. Their receivers are unimpressive, but still head and shoulders above the Bears. The Vikes are a different team now. Yeah they lost last week, but that's because Peterson couldn't hold onto the ball. That won't happen again. Then how did they lose the other 5 games?

    Yep, they are all shocked that their insiders were incorrect. Hilarious. I'm not sure what is more pathetic: people who hang on every word an "insider" has to write on a message board, or people on a completely unrelated message board getting off every single time those "insiders" are wrong. It's not that I enjoy the "insiders" being wrong. I simply got annoyed by people over there so drastically overvaluing their prospects while bashing ours. The last 2 offseasons have left me more than a little jaded when it comes to the Orioles. You mean like when they thought they could get Chase Headley for Olson?

    Every team has stupid penalties, and I don't dislike Turner. He's got 8, maybe 9 wins out of a team that we all believe has almost no talent. What's the problem with his coaching? you don't dislike turner? seriously? like, really? Dead serious. I think he runs an adequate NFL offense. I'm not enamored with him, but I'm not firing him unless I'm sure I've got someone better coming in. i'm pretty sure a human is available seriously though, it's mind boggling that you can say he runs an adeuate nfl offense

    For what? Putting together a consistently competitive team? Squeezing at least a .500 season out of this ragtag bunch? are you really defending lovie? wow Absolutely. He's been a good coach. no accountability and no discipline. how many stupid penalties do we have to see? plus he hired turner
  20. 17 Seconds
    if not for 2 stupid penalties we could be getting close to going 10-5
