LaRussa is such a sanctimonious piece of horsefeathers http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/25518933/tony-la-russa-calls-harold-baines-detractors-weak "In the '80s and '90s, almost all of the stats that people trust, he was in the top five -- for 20 years. 0 times in top 5 in BA, 0 in HRs, 1 in ...

The only benefit of an 8 team playoff is to the non P5 school if they were guaranteed a spot which seems...uncertain. It would be much more logical to make sure every 3 loss SEC team automatically makes it.

That’s not the same Chocolate Milk. Like the Ultimate Warrior but for real this time

Hey Reds can we interest you in a Chatwood? He will be much cheaper to acquire than those two guys.

The Reds acquiring Kluber would be some kind of baffling

Agreed Laura Ricketts is a rapist.

https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-businessmen/business-executives/tom-ricketts-net-worth/ According to this, PTR has $900 million in net worth. I think maybe I'd think twice before committing 1/3 of my net worth to something. That doesn't mean it's not worth it to sign Harper but handing ou...

My quick look-through has Mike Minor and Yusmeiro Petit last year.

This is a sign that Jerry Reinsdorf was on the 16 person panel.

Cubs are in mediocrity hell. Either sign Harper or tank.

Yea but with that opponent what else can you expect

Big XII does it

The Big XII plays a round robin schedule.

I just figured the left arm was the only one he could still throw with

I'm glad you asked

No

Fine replace Gioskar Amaya with Trevor Gretzky

Cubswin11 wrote:FWIW Goldschmidt is only project by steamer to be .010 points better by wOBA and 10 points better than what José Martinez gave the Cardinals last year and I’m assuming that Martinez is going to be out now.

Jose Martinez is the most uncomfortable looking first baseman I've ever seen.

I’m not sure how the 860 yards Ole Miss tacked up against Louisiana-Monroe is really relevant either. Counting total yards and ranking teams accordingly is beyond archaic. You’re already backing off with the SEC schedule caveat. Of course if you limited their offense to the ranked SEc teams they ave...

Man, I dunno. Oklahoma has a terrific offense, but Bama can really strangle teams at times. Ole Miss, bad as they were, were a Top 10 offense and only scored one touchdown (on the first play of the game) and LSU and Mississippi State were shutout. Ole Miss was the what now? Exactly what I said. htt...

Both playoff games open with double digit point spreads. Yawn so the Sooners should be able to score enough to at least cover. Man, I dunno. Oklahoma has a terrific offense, but Bama can really strangle teams at times. Ole Miss, bad as they were, were a Top 10 offense and only scored one touchdown ...

Is that typical? That seems really bizarre. Not sure how you honor a President by not delivering mail. Because these are effectively impromptu federal holidays. Just look at it like a spontaneous Memorial Day in terms of what is open with the government. They are even halting trading on the stock m...

But yeah, both sides, amirite? I don't know how we deal with these abusers and the people falsely accusing others of abuse, what with how they're all around us in equal numbers.

Why doesn't Russell's wife have to go to therapy?

Christmas came early

I see Nagy has Lovie’s ability to take timeouts that strategically aid the opponent What was the point of that timeout? Was the defense call not correct or something? My assumption was he figured 17 seconds was enough time that they'd hold them call, another TO and force a punt for a shot at a retu...

They are. But you can’t justify it based on the current metrics the committee uses. Speaking of which, today was a good example of why ND needs to be left out of the playoffs based on principle. - Bama plays a 13th game and their Heisman QB leaves on a cart. - Notre Dame players are sitting in thei...

Because they blew a lead against Bama? Because they beat...Florida? I just think they’re better than OSU and Oklahoma They are.
