Luckily I am going to a wedding Saturday night, so I didn't have to get a costume this year. Hate Halloween.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 25, 2011 -> 10:16 AM) Hopefully that stabalizes things a bit more where we don't need the 8-9 man protections. It could be tough for him @ Philly on a Monday night for his first game back, he only has about 6 NFL quarters played under his belt.

Here's the real reason Tony LaRussa brought in the wrong reliever last night:

Tom Verducci tears into TLR's managing last night

Washington started the screw-ups in the 8th. Murphy can't hit lefties, there is absolutely zero reason to keep him in to face Scrabble. They got a lucky bounce so it worked out. Then I don't care what's going on with the bullpen phone, keeping the LOOGY in to face Napoli cost them the game. Run onto the field and stop the at-bat if you have to, get a righty in there!

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 24, 2011 -> 01:21 PM) Ah, the Waterboy. That was Sandler's heyday. I know some people hate all of his work, but that earlier stuff was hilarious. It's sad that he's strayed so far away from that. And now I think I forgot to put Happy Gilmore on my list. It kind of reminds me of Jim Carrey. He had a stretch of awesome movies where he was the king of comedy, then suddenly he disappeared and started making some awful movies as well.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 24, 2011 -> 09:49 AM) Anyone know the last time an NFL game had 9 or fewer total points? Last season Week 8. Green Bay 9, NY Jets 0 And in 2009 the Browns won another game 6-3 over Buffalo

Boardwalk. Empire.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 24, 2011 -> 08:56 AM) MRI is scheduled for today on Stafford. Also...there's talk that Suh was somehow taunting Matt Ryan after he went down to the ground with that rolled ankle. Link

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 24, 2011 -> 08:01 AM) Yeah, it is amazing the drop off that Indy has experienced. New England didn't fall off anywhere close to this when they lost Brady for a season. I think they went 11-5 and missed the playoffs because it was a tough year in the AFC. Cassel may be better than Painter, but he's not that much better.

Anyone else looking forward to the obligatory post from greg second guessing every move by LaRussa in game 4?

I loved the call on the Napoli homer. As soon as Boggs comes in, McCarver says "He is gonna want to keep the ball low in the zone, try for a double play." So of course Boggs throws a letter high fastball. Oops.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 23, 2011 -> 09:46 PM) Thank god the Colts are not in primetime anymore this year..............NBC will flex them out later in the year! Peyton Manning doesn't play defense, what excuse do they have for giving up 62 points???

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Oct 23, 2011 -> 03:27 PM) Lions losing keeps that wild card nice and close. Good time for the Bears to get a bye, our next 4 games are all challenges. The Lions will not make the playoffs

Bedlam won't matter if the Sooners can't win at home...

Fight On!!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 22, 2011 -> 03:46 PM) So much for that big bowl game... Are you saying that the Little Caesars Bowl isn't a big bowl game? I hear that Detroit in mid-December is wonderful.

For the 2nd straight week, Illinois had negative punt return yards. With special teams, it's funny being a Bears & Illini fan. Bears obviously have Devin Hester, but Lovie has always stressed special teams and they have always done well. On the other hand, you have Ron Zook's special teams units.

ESPN keeps showing a graphic of the two Illinois 20+ point comebacks in school history. How about they cut it to a one score game before we start flashing crazy s*** like that?

Has a team that started 6-0 ever finished the season 6-6?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Oct 22, 2011 -> 11:52 AM) Who are they? Alfonso Soriano

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 22, 2011 -> 11:27 AM) 3rd and 21 and u let them convert. Ridiculous. That was awful. These designed runs with Scheelhaase are doing nothing, not a big fan of them being called over and over.

Why do I have a bad feeling about this Purdue game? Oh yeah, cause Ron Zook is the coach. I L L

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 04:59 PM) Unfortunately, I am not sure a game breaking WR would fall to the Bears. If one did, I'm sure they would pick a handsy 3rd down WR instead
