Daniel The Hamstring Thomas has been ruled out again anyway.
-
Williams will need to have a MUCH better second half for that to sound good to me. Not sure I would have taken that risk.
-
Yikes. Carter and Crabtree, i guess.
-
More theo talk, that is.
-
If we start talking about Theo again it might get sexual again If that happens, the 24 hours off may be beneficial to the person in question. Usually, 24 hrs sounds about right, but not with Theo. For Theo, after a quick catnap and a sandwich, and I'm ready for more.

Feed was back just in time to see the Beltre-Cruz doublegasm. Now Theriot in to join in the dropped popup parade.
-
Just piping in to bitch one more time about the Monterey/Salinas/Santa Cruz feed. It has been dead for 45 minutes now. Haven't seen anything since top 5th. (This is a standard def feed I'm missing out on, btw.) No words for rising anger....
-
This is the first game I've attempted to watch in more than a month, and the feed purpled out again. It's been out since right after the Rangers made the last out to end top 5th. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100108063233/uncyclopedia/images/archive/b/b5/20100108063328!Exploding-head.gif

My directv feed purpled out for about the sixth time. Last time it was bases empty 2-2, and it came back with napoli on first and a run in. - Has this happened to anyone else? - How did the runner get on and score?
-
It would be nice if calls on the bases could be reviewable. I'd even settle for first base and home plate only.
-
I'm pretty up in the air on this one. I wouldn't let having Alex Smith be a factor in the decision. Pitt will definitely need much more offense to win their game, but Davis could very well play into the conservative possession game the 49ers will likely be playing. I'm leaning toward Davis. Also, Rotoworld's week 8 projections have him a couple spots ahead of Miller, fwiw.
-
Unless it looks like Addai is going to be healthy and playing a lot, go with Carter until Thomas shows he is bouncing back again. Thomas could have turned out to be a solid sleeper pick, but between his nagging hammy and the Henne injury/Miami's complete lack of offense, it's better to wait and see right now.
-
Yes to defense by committee based on matchups. None of those three you mentioned warrant being held on to if their matchup doesn't look very good this coming week.
-
Keep Gore.
-
Strikeouts. Lack of focus. Flash in the pan. Sell high. Doesn't catch the ball. Needs to be more left-handed. Some of these things could easily fall within the realm of "stating the obvious." Theo did not mention these things. Please stop undermining how sexy his brain is.
-
I'd sit Torain.

For what it's worth in regard to the whole Pujols-Fielder discussion: In the PTI interview, one of the questions was asking what Theo thought as an outsider looking at the Cubs in the 2011 season. One of the first things he said was the absence of a core of elite talent. (It might have been THE first thing he said, I don't remember.) He compared it to having guys like Manny and Ortiz mashing for the Sox in their prime. He also repeated the part of the press conference where he talked about building a winner "the right way," and making sure that any success they see isn't followed by years of obscurity and that the success is maintained and long-term. As far as indications on whether or not he'll make a run at Fiel-jols, it's pretty mixed, but it definitely gives me confidence in the reasoning behind either way he could go. Personally, I think he'll throw his hat in the ring, but that he won't be afraid to walk away if the price isn't right. And I don't think he'd be wrong to do so.
-
Very. I'll be at work.
-
Apparently hightower left injured late. Shanahan will still probably use Helu and Beck above Torain.
-
Last second decision, sat Demarco Murray to start Torain, against the guy who has Foster. :banghead: :banghead:
-
Amazing read. I particularly enjoyed the part of the story about the Nomar trade.
-
You can only do one or the other. If you're not going to sit by and be attacked, that means dropping it is not an option. Knock yourself out arguing every last post you make to the death, just don't lie to yourself about what you're doing or why.
-
I'm starting Jackie Battle this week. Switched team name to Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica.
-
Who blew the biggest September lead in a playoff race in MLB history? Was it another epic Cubs choke? Or was it the culmination of 9 years of work from someone you guys are hailing as a savior for the long-term success of the franchise? Only he's not even our "savior" yet. We have to wait for the Cardinals to finish playing baseball first. /amidoinitrite?
-
huh? Until the WS starts. I heard that, due to the intense amounts of interest of the players and management of the teams involved, the World Series has been canceled so they can all stay at home and refresh internet message boards where there is rampant speculation about Theo news. At least, that's the assumption I'm working under in deciding not to watch any baseball this week.
