  1. Braden Looper....:lmao: no, seriously, Braden Looper.
  2. Extra Innings will not affect local market games. That's part of the reason MLB isn't worried about this deal. It only affects the "superfan" as far as they're concerned.
  3. It was made abundantly clear to me last weekend that all of those guys have options, so they aren't worried about the logjam.
  4. This article offers some insight into the Cowboys coaching search and also makes it clear that Parcells' act had begun to grow old in Dallas.
  5. From the Tribune article on Rusch... Link.
  6. 1-1) Albert Pujols 1-2) Jose Reyes 1-3) Johan Santana 1-4) Alfonso Soriano 1-5) Alex Rodriguez 1-6) Carlos Beltran 1-7) Ryan Howard 1-8) Miguel Cabrera 1-9) Carl Crawford 1-10) Chase Utley 1-11) Derrek Lee 1-12) Chris Carpenter 2-1) David Wright 2-2) Lance Berkman 2-3) Grady Sizemore 2-4) David Ortiz 2-5) Vladimir Guerrero 2-6) Manny Ramirez 2-7) Mark Teixeira 2-8) Travis Hafner 2-9) Derek Jeter 2-10) Carlos Lee 2-11) Matt Holliday 2-12) Carlos Zambrano 3-1) Jake Peavy 3-2) Aramis Ramirez 3-3) Justin Morneau 3-4) Joe Mauer 3-5) Paul Konerko 3-6) Miguel Tejada 3-7) Jason Bay 3-8) Hanley Ramirez 3-9) Jimmy Rollins 3-10) Roy Halladay 3-11) Brandon Webb 3-12) Dan Haren 4-1) Garrett Atkins 4-2) Ichiro 4-3) Vernon Wells 4-4) Brian McCann 4-5) Roy Oswalt 4-6) Felix Hernandez 4-7) Ben Sheets 4-8) Bobby Abreu 4-9) Jeremy Bonderman 4-10) Andruw Jones 4-11) Victor Martinez 4-12) Jermaine Dye 5-1)Michael Young
  7. That question makes me hope I never run into those individuals when trying to discuss baseball.
  8. It appears that Drew and the Red Sox finally settled their issues. Link.
  9. Shouldn't it be a Gateway-NSBB league since no one decent posts a CardsTalk anymore?
  10. Izzy, as in "Izzy going to the DL again?" I thought it was "Izzy gonna make another out en route to another 0-4 game?"
  11. What I am going to do is going to be a rough guesstimate based on the info I can get. It's not going to be hard scientific evidence. I'm a language arts guy, not math/science. I always have done a break down on the division....so this is just a tool I'm using as I make my final division breakdowns.
  12. Let's just skip it this time.
  13. I'm going with Marquis. First, my guess is that he'll start off on the wrong foot by choosing to wear #21. Then he'll post an ERA of around 5.00 while Guzman or Marshall is doing well in the minors. The combination of that will cause everyone to hate him.
  14. Bruce, Is Rusch likely out of baseball? Is there a chance he may work with the organization in some capacity? While I didn't want to watch him pitch again, he was genuinely one of the good guys.
  15. I'll look at PECOTA and last three year averages, factor in some other things and come up with some numbers to plug in.
  16. No, no....Jesus can't hit a curve ball.
  17. I'm working on my projection piece on the NL Central. I'm working on projecting what I think the players will do and then I want to plug them into a line-up compared to what I think other teams will do before deciding how to rank the NL Central. Oh, I think you'll find the cubs are saftely on top. With the cardinals trailing by several games behind. . Just my cursory view places the Cubs there, but I know have a bias, so I'm trying to check that as I prepare this.
  18. I was really hoping McCann would slide down to my wrap around picks. :x

  20. Garrett is being groomed as the future HC. It's speculated now that Jones will look at a defensive minded coach. Of course, I just got an email that over the last few days Jimmy Johnson has been seen around the ranch and that over the years he and Jones have become friends again. Jimmy needs some extra money eh? After emailing another friend, the word is that Johnson is serving as a consultant to Jones in the search. Nothing seems to be indicating that Johnson will be considered. It would be interesting to see if Jimmy still has what it takes.

  22. The Cowboys have hired Jason Garrett to be the offensive coordinator and he is still in the running for head coach, though it is belived Wade Phillips will be the choice there. Link.
