  1. Now for an absurd joke: Why did the plane crash? The pilot was a banana.
  2. And the NE fans whining about the game clock has begun: http://cgi.fark.com/cgi/fark/youtube.pl?IDLink=3376010
  3. Actually, being banned from Shea isn't punishment. No, I say he has to go to all the games at Shea this year except the 3 against the Cubs.
  4. Congratulations Phil Rogers, you have made a system that, get this, can tell us if a team has let people go or gained people through free agency and trades. Yes, thats right, you made a system that tells us stuff we already know. For a system like this to be of use, it needs two important things: A need and a way of predicting things. The first one, a need, does not exist as you have used the ability to add and subtract (yes, I know, major milestones for you) to tell us that the Cubs have traded or let walk more players than they brought in. Bravo. The second part, a predictive power, does not exist, as it will tell us very little, if anything at all, about how a team could do this season. All this is predicting is that the teams that have added will eventually clear roster space and the teams that have subtracted will add players, probably prospects/backups in both cases. So, to sum up, Phil Rogers has created a system that does nothing and predicts nothing. I have also made a system, except its even less complicated. All you have to know is how to count to 10. Just say a number 1-10 and act like it means something. For example: Red Sox: 4. This means that the Red Sox scored a 4, which is mediocre. They need to make changes to get it higher, otherwise they will not make the playoffs. San Francisco: 9. They are a virtual lock to contend. Does this make sense? Hell no. Does it accomplish anything? Hell no. Is it a "system" like Phil Rogers? Sure.
  5. I have a feeling that this is going to turn out a lot like the last time the Gnats were in the SB... lopsided with the AFC team destroying them. (2000 - SB XXXV - Ravens 34, Giants 7)
  6. IBL: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=46169&hilit=figures
  7. You know what would be hilarious, but has really no chance of happening: Giants vs Chargers. WaWa vs. Rivers.
  8. This game is pretty much in New England's hands. The Jags offense may be able to score more, but their defense can't stop anything. Sure they have been able to prevent long plays, but they haven't stopped anything else. Maroney has 111 yds on 15 rushes. Thats 7.4 yds per rush.
  9. That should have been caught, but to be fair, it has to be HARD to catch a ball today. plus black guys are not conditioned to playing in the snow [/dustybaker] The houston astros would kick ass today. I found it to be ironic that the Houston Aeros minor league hockey team had 2 black guys on it...
  10. what did he do?
  11. Wow... way to screw the pooch, Steelers.
  12. And there it is... wow...
  13. Yeah, the blocker did a brilliant job of completely failing. It was hilarious. Unless pitt does something stupid, game.
  14. Jags haven't looked like a good team in a while. Its been all Pitt for a while now. I wouldn't be asking for the Pats yet...
  15. more interesting now.
  16. Seahawks over Redskins Bucs over Giants Jags over Steelers Chargers crush Titans Dallas over Bucs Green Bay over Seahawks Pats over Jags Chargers over Indy GB over Dal. Chargers over Pats Chargers over GB
  17. That and it would be stupid for the Cubs to waste another year on him when they would not be guaranteed the year after. They wanted 1yr+1option year, but Prior wasn't going to except, and from the evidence shown in other threads, was not going to resign in Chicago after this year, so there was no reason to give a $3.2M/1 yr contract to somebody who is probably going to be out for the first 1/3 of the season, and who knows how he will do after that.
  18. Kosuke is going to realize that the only option is indeed to put
  19. most of it is hearsay Yeah, but Robert's is hilarious b.s. @#$@ ^ the heck?
  20. I'm sure that's exactly right. He only did this for the pub. I think (hope) sweetpete was kidding. Because that is what I said. I said he was happy for it, which was pissing me off. He kept bringing up things he did (the Ireland thing) and when he first came out he was joking with the reporters and what not.
  21. I've heard that Sosa spent more time in the gym than any other player. The one thing that keeps me from completely saying he did is the fact that if you look at his numbers, there actually was not a entire jump. From 94 to 98 there would have been a steady climb if he had not been injured. (He was on pace to hit over 50 in 96). While there was a jump from 97 to 98, there was still the trend.
  22. Yeah, Mitchell sucks. It's become clear he is happy for the publicity. Also, anyone watching the ESPN feed get some strange foreign language come over the audio? That was hilarious.
