Devin Hester has such awful hands for an NFL WR

This is the worst challenge ever by Carolina

f*** you Todd Collins

Bears dominating with the running game today. Forte playing great. But holy crap does Carolina suck.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Oct 9, 2010 -> 11:49 PM) I loved the part:The ONLY player on the Twins that has a chance of being a Yankee is that catcher of yours. What is his name again? I doubt Mauer could handle NY. You might as well ask for a crucifixion if you don't show up for the post season. Mauer had a very good postseason last year and I can't believe there are people that still believe guys like Mauer don't show up when they don't produce. Its a small sample size, with almost any player if they get enough opportunities their playoff numbers will be similar to their regular season numbers. I'm assuming you were in the ARod isn't clutch camp until he dominated the postseason last year right?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 9, 2010 -> 05:46 PM) Tough facing an actual defense huh Blue? Make Denard throw, and run the football. Michigan's pass D is even worse than their run D. Basically if a team doesn't make mistakes they will score a ton of points against Michigan.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 9, 2010 -> 04:41 PM) Understatement. The corners are bad, but young so they can improve, but Cousins, when he finally has time, has guys open everywhere. The D Line is playing good I think. Bad time for Denard to keep making bad throws. The D Line isn't doing a good job at all versus the run and their linebackers also look horrendous.

Michigan's defense is absolutely terrible.

Braves come back and win. Nice, we have a series.

3-0 Giants already in the 1st on a HR by Burrell. What a boring first round of the postseason this is shaping up to be.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 8, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) I have no idea who's going to beat the Phillies. Meh they did nothing at all to win this game today. The Reds lost this one themselves. If teams continue to hit their batters, and make tons of errors of course they won't lose but that team is beatable, especially if they face a lineup like the Yankees.

Reds bullpen melting down in the 6th. 2 HBP and a walk leading to a run.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 8, 2010 -> 04:16 PM) Biggest difference between Twins of the 2nd half and Twins thru first 2 games is Mauer and Thome were two of the best hitters on the planet since the ASB, and they've both been awful vs the Yankees so far. I'm pretty sure Mauer led the AL in hitting since the ASB, and Thome led the AL in OPS. Thome wasn't very good against LH pitching this year and has had to face two really good left handed starters in Sabathia and Pettitte plus Mo who just kills lefties so his struggles aren't a surprise.

Lance Berkman dominating tonight

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 03:05 PM) Rays teetering on the edge right now. Down 2-0 in the 5th, two on, one out for the heart of the TEX order, Shields gets pulled for Chad Qualls (worst closer of the 2010 season) edit: And boom goes the dynamite. Michael Young 3-run blast off Qualls, 5-0 TEX And that was after a questionable at best call by the 1st base ump saying Young didn't go around on that check swing.

And the trend of horrible umpiring from last year continues this year.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 03:06 PM) So they bench tommie harris and cut mark anderson, our D-Line is becoming just as big of a wreck as our O-Line minus 1 individual. Anthony Adams is a solid player and the line has been good against the run but none of those guys outside of Peppers is a threat to rush the passer and that will likely be problematic as the season goes on.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 08:18 PM) That Boston team didn't have anywhere near the separation from the rest of the NBA that the Heat does. Honestly it is a real possibility that even if one of the three got hurt, they could still win it all. Agreed. If Wade gets hurt Lebron would still have more talent around him than he had in Cleveland where he took a team to the NBA finals and 60 plus wins the last two years.

How I Met Your Mother with another terrible episode tonight.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 03:38 PM) That's the thing. I don't think anyone here would have problems with those picks if he addressed the O-Line before-hand (draft, FA, trades, whatever) but he didn't. The time he made some of those picks, thats when the O-Line was really struggling, then he continued to ignore it, until the O-Line got stupid bad. Even Olin Kreutz at this stage in his career looks pretty bad. Kreutz and Garza have been awful, the entire line is a freaking joke.

The time he made some of those picks, thats when the O-Line was really struggling, then he continued to ignore it, until the O-Line got stupid bad. Well even when the OL was good back in 06 it was obvious they needed to start rebuilding the line because guys like Ruben Brown, Tait, etc. were all old and towards the end of their careers and yet he did nothing to address the situation. That is inexcusable.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 08:48 AM) No, the guys playing the game failed us, and if a manager, hitting coach, or pitching coach had any significant role in it then it was the general manager who failed because his 25 man roster lacked balls and a spine. What if your manager lacks balls and a spine and likes to slurp your chief rival?

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 03:28 PM) Wasn't Asiata undrafted as well? Yikes.. Louis as a 7th rounder. Meanwhile we have made glorious picks in Bazuin, Okpo, Gilbert (though I still like him in a 3-4 defense) Melton (still has time), Wolfe, Dvoracek, Harriott, Currie, Joe, Iglesias, etc.. etc.. Asiata was undrafted and every team makes bad picks but it is absolutely mindboggling how much Angelo has ignored the OL.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 03:08 PM) I really agree with you. I've long been a huge proponent of drafting the lines. Angelo has done that with the dline, but ignored the line that protects your franchise player. It really is dispicable. I hope the Bears have some FA money to throw around because we already know we'll use at least 1 top pick on a lineman and probably 2. I'd be perfectly content if our 1st and 2nd round picks went oline and we signed a FA olineman. My only hope is that Tice can somehow develop Omilaye, Williams (Both of them), Asiatta, and Webb. They are all young and I'll see if they can somehow turn into something. Most of them are incredibly raw though. Oh and hopefully they won't kill Cutler, but I have a scary feeling Cutler's career will end this year (and it could just be the constant pressure that forces Cutler to go the way a once promising David Carr did). Omiyale will be turning 28 fairly soon and he is a god awful football player. There is really no hope for that guy. Chris Williams still has some potential although he has been terrible so far in his career and the injuries make me think he will never be a good offensive lineman. And then the we have Edwin Williams an undrafted free agent and Webb a 7th round pick. I would be shocked if those guys ever become starting caliber OL.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 02:56 PM) I swear, I'm blown away that after all those hits that he was taking the Bears didn't do something different? I hope Jay is ok. Has he spoke yet? Post game conference, anything? Bears doctors had to be mind-blowingly stupid. This means Jay played after a concussion and was sacked ~4 to 5 more times, including that shot to his head. Holy cripes. Frankly, when your Oline is playing that poorly there isn't much you can do. It isn't like they can run block worth a damn either. I strongly believe Angelo should be fired for putting that group of offensive lineman together. What a f***ing joke.
