  1. I was just going to call Pillar double. I hate being wrong.
  2. It's bad when O's fans pity you
  3. from 97 to 2009 he was a pretty damn good and everyone can throw out the "per PA" stats for other SS's...Jeter remained pretty healthy in a position where so few do remain healthy. Yes he should have been moved off SS a long time ago, but it's that "Overrated" status that kept him there.
  4. I know it's annoying but I really believe he deserves the accolades.
  5. The NBA is a different animal...I agree it will be successful in LV and hockey will likely take a back seat
  6. June or July option most likely.
  7. They will likely have to go gimmicky and hockey fans will think it's shameful, but anything in Vegas can work if given the right venue. The new arena is so close to the strip, I guarantee you that MGM (who own the arena) can make sure that it's sold out every game and attended...by comping tickets. I don't think having players and coaches in Vegas will be any more of an issue as football players in New Orleans. The LV Wranglers average 4,500 fans for an ECHL team (as high as 5,500, low as 3900) in a less desirable market and venue. It'll work for a while.
  8. aren't Buffalo set to be eliminated? Even if not, Gose should be called up to the big club even if they are in the playoffs. MLB is always the number 1 priority getting Gose's legs up here a couple games early could be big for a team that really should still be trying to make the playoffs. The move would look like this (if Gose and Goins and not an arm were their target) Send Stroman and Hutch to New Hampshire Gose and Goins to Toronto Glenn and Nolan back to Buffalo (or Burns or Crouse...it's a weekend series if you want to call someone up for a matchup for Buffalo you could even do that)
  9. If we were a roto league... Team Name Hitting Pitching Totals Los Osos Blancos 118 108.5 226.5 London Slayers 124 98.5 222.5 BALCO Pharm Team 102.5 115 217.5 Twist and Trout 117 100 217 The WAR Puigs 109 99 208 A 2nd Leg To Stanton 91.5 81 172.5 The Butt Stallions 79 90 169 The True Cardinals 35.5 128 163.5 Triple Hawpe Brewed! 99.5 60.5 160 Taijuan On! 82.5 71 153.5 ISO Horny 85 58 143 B.Inge Drinking 51 90 141 We Khrush Dingers 79.5 49 128.5 (insert clever name) 50.5 73 123.5 The Lyon Tamer 66.5 46 112.5 Burrito Boyz 48 56.5 104.5 Kat Krushes You! 20.5 72 92.5 Georgia Peach 53 29 82 Gryffindor 43 21.5 64.5 Bye Week 14.5 23.5 38
  10. He didn't even knock her up...what's he thinking? Registered for 3 George Foreman grills...he's got issues.
  11. There is zero negative about this...and during your 72 hours to report you are paid a major league salary. It's just a way around starting your 40 expansion roster early.
  12. the 307 km (190 MPH fastball) vs. Yamasaki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xgvYswhjog#t=44
  13. BA's Helium Watch from last week had this to say. Helium Watch Kendall Graveman, rhp, Blue Jays: Just more than a year ago, Graveman was starting the first game of the College World Series finals for Mississippi State, and he was the lone consistent starter the Bulldogs had on their wild ride to Omaha. An eighth-round pick as a senior who signed for just $5,000, Graveman wasn’t on the radar for the Jays entering 2014. He made four starts at low Class A but has joined the Blue Jays’ parade of fast-tracked prospects, making at least one start all the way up to Triple-A Buffalo. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound sinkerballer has added a cutter this year and pounds the zone with 90-92 mph fastballs that work over the bottom of the zone, as he did in this week’s start—seven scoreless innings, no walks, four hits, four strikeouts. Graveman has allowed more than two earned runs in a start twice all year en route to a 12-6, 1.68 composite line across four levels, with just two home runs allowed (to Adam Brett Walker and Nick Franklin) in 155 innings. His strikeout ratio of 6.2 per nine innings isn’t loud, but his 3.69 SO/BB ratio and 1.00 WHIP serve notice he could contribute in Toronto soon as a back-of-the-rotation option.
  14. Alford got great reviews for his play coming in for the 4th quarter of the Boise State game. This might be the best secondary in the NCAA so he's going to have to battle for PT. Coach Freeze has him returning punts and taking snaps in the wildcat. 4 of Ole Miss starting DB's are seniors...so he's going to get lots of playing time next year...and coach Freeze is still saying he'll be a pro football player if he doesn't choose baseball. Continuing in Alford's poor decision making (although stealing money from the Jays to play for month or two each year isn't one of his poor decisions) he got married this winter.
  15. 3.222M less $111,111 each game after tonight.
  16. You say that like it's a negative to a South Mexican
  17. and I still missed out. Honestly I think I took about 30 seconds to enter a team.
  18. I just clicked on players to fill the $5 game. I hope I get around to making changes

    It's not like there will be two battles of Ontario for the Sens. They already took a back seat to the storied rivalry between the Leafs and Habs. Now instead of being the bastard step-child, they might be the bastard step-child's imaginary friend. It's also another battle for sponsorship money. If the Sens are playing well, it probably won't matter but in lean times there are now 4 other teams (don't think Quebec doesn't effect them too) for sponsors to jump to. As for Vegas, this whole concept of gambling being an issue...gambling is no longer tied to Vegas. It can be done world-wide. I'm pretty sure there are more degenerates in New York than in Vegas. If promoted correctly...anything in Vegas can work (at least short-term)>

    pretty unreal. I have a new favourite team in the west in Vegas. The second Toronto team hurts my Sens likely.
  21. Big John is not Metalijay, If he is Metalijay is a brilliant baseball mind when it comes to daily fantasy sports (over 1400 wins and huge winnings on Fanduel).
  22. If money was his motivator why not look to sign right away. It's not like he got right back into the next draft. CSB will likely be in the top 15 pre-season rankings again this year (last year they were 4 and had a disappointing season although still made the CWS regionals, where they had a top 10 team on the ropes before losing a 3 run lead to be eliminated). I know Assistant coach Kirby left this year which might be part of it...but it's pretty unusual to leave a top flight baseball school...for the sake of one year. It's possible that something in his life has changed and making money in 2015 is much bigger than 2016 for him but most likely it's something like he didn't get named Friday starter or something stupid like that.
  23. This is so two years ago.
  24. Overkill on closers 104 saves got you a 16-4 record. My 48 saves got me 14-5-1. You could have even had relievers on the bench and moved saves guys out for holds guys when you had it locked up and moved up 7 or 8 games. Something like this would be too much work for someone like me...but you it would have been worth it. I'm sure you need this playoff spot in your life.
