    I find the Atlantic Division absolutely hilarious.

    I'd put Arkansas over Louisville and WVU. I wouldn't.

    So Arkansas, who has been very up and down, not only beats #6 Alabama, they run them out of the gym. THey were up 34 points at one point in the game. That's the good news. The bad news is that they have to get over it fast and travel to Florida next Tuesday. If they manage to win *that* game, I will be :shock: and :o for a week.

    Wouldn't you bet on yourself?

    Today is not P.J. Hill's day.

    That play was hilarious.

    Nice drive there by Wisconsin. The extra point would make it 10-7 Wisconsin. This is looking like a very good game.

    Don't forget Arkansas/Wisconsin starting shortly.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that upgrading from Darin Erstad to Todd Helton would be somewhat of an improvement.

    What a Day. Moore riske moves for the Royals. Their pitching staff is in a real Meche. It's hard Dotel what they can do about it, but they can't keep trading young pitchers for a Gload of crap if they want to improve.

    We would have a lot fewer question marks right now if it weren't for Dusty's perpetual veterosexuality. I feel pretty good about Hill, but I still feel a slight twinge of doubt that wouldn't be there if they had just played the kid from jump.

    What's this defense concept? Is that accounted for in EqA, BABIP, VORP and OPS+? Amazingly, defense isn't factores into EqA, BABIP, or OPS+. Similarly, it's not included in other offensive stats, like BA, HR, RBI, or SB. It is, however, included in VORP, which is the reason he has a higher VORP than Wilkerson, as sited above. And before I give up anything for Taveras, who has fringe starter/bench player potential, I'd just start Pie. I'd prefer Taveres to Pie just because I think Pie really could use another season at Iowa to learn plate discipline (see: Corey Patterson) but I also don't want the Cubs to give up much of value for a guy who's not that good, and probably wouldn't be of much use after one year. Just keeping an outfield of Murton/Jock/Soriano probably is the best solution at this point. The primary difference between Corey and Pie is that Corey had essentially regressed at every level, but htey still rushed him. Pie had been getting better every season until this past one, and he did improve in the second half. So, besides both being Cubs and having similar overall skill sets, I don't see much of a same-fruit comparison here. Still would much rather go Murton/Jones/Soriano, though.

    That's generally how it works. A lot of real guitar players are AWFUL when they first pick up the game... and thefore they despise it.... good times, haha. I have yet to see a single case of this.

    gh is easy. it doesn't make me go blarrrrrrrrgggghhhhhhwwwwwwnnnnnn.

    why spring? Because he had a bad winter? But he had a great fall. Of course, so did Humpty Dumpty.
  21. Warpticon
    The reason for that is obvious, though. Nolasco through June: 66 1/3 IP, 71 H, 24 ER, 48 K, 17 BB, 1.43 WHIP, 3.24 ERA Juan Pierre through June: .240/.276/.309

    Well, this is a fine Meche we've gotten into.

    Regarding the coach's poll: When you think about it, is there much of anybody LESS qualified to rank the top 25 teams than a division 1 football coach? I mean, let's be realistic. What coach is going to ever see anything on the teams that are not either on the schedule or in the conference? When do they have time? What criteria would they have, other than to push their own conference, and, by proxy, their own team?

    link /recalls hendry talking about sosa in 05' im just sayin... What, when he said "I'm preparing as though Sosa will be out right fielder"? Not even close to the same thing.

    As is the put an inferior team in the title game argument. Inferior by what criteria? records? game resumes?
