The Big 10 is just embarrassingly bad at football right now.

I'm so sick of these weak ass roughing the passer calls. I understand you want to protect the QB but my god, you can't even hit a QB anymore. That personal foul in the Ok-Texas game was a joke.

The Phillies have played some of the worst defense you will ever seen in the bottom of the 8th.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 10:49 AM) Wouldn't you want captain cheeseburger to get 3 starts if it went 7? Plus the back end of that bullpen with Joba, Hughes, Mariano is just nasty.

QUOTE (Cubano @ Oct 14, 2009 -> 10:18 PM) Contreras got $32 million from the Yanks. He was older than Chapman. He was also considered more ready to be a major league contributor than Chapman.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 14, 2009 -> 10:13 PM) Tulsa gets called for a freaking sideline interference penalty making it 3rd and 4 for Boise rather than 3rd and 9 with BSU up 7 late. Tulsa gets the stop anyways.

Lou Holtz is unbelievably bad at his job

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 02:00 AM) Oh, there'$ a rea$on. I'm sure that is the reason but can starting the series on a Friday night after basically a week without baseball really be good for ratings?

It is unbelievably stupid how spread out the playoffs are. There is no reason that this series isn't starting till Friday.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 01:42 AM) Although I dunno if they really will be a package deal, I definitely can't see Shaw or Blackshear staying local... And I'm definitely jealous of the players illinois is getting. Can't wait for hoops season. I'll be out to see Shaw and one of the '13 studs, Alex Foster, at De La Salle at least a couple of times. Although he transferred, I really like Dre Henley's game... I think there is a pretty good chance Shaw goes to Illinois if he doesn't follow Blackshear. Big if as to whether that will happen though.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 04:04 PM) Or, you know, the intown school is still an option. Chasson Randle visiting Iowa State this weekend, any of you guys have any comment on him? He is a very solid player. No real weaknesses in his game and I think he will be a solid 4 year contributor in college. Probably a guy who scores between 8 and 12 pts his whole career in college depending on PT (which he would get early at ISU). I feel like he is a high floor low ceiling guy if that makes sense. I can't see him being a star but I don't see anyway he busts. He is a solid athlete, probably needs to try to be more of a PG but his handles are fine for a 2G, shoots it pretty well. I know that one of ISU's assistants has a connection to Randle.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 04:01 PM) It is why CJ is still going to do a visit at Wisconsin and Iowa. I'd love to get me the best TE in the country in some black and gold. He is awesome but not the best TE in the country. USC has the best TE in the country going there.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 03:37 PM) Bradley Beal, number 7 recruit in 2011 class has decided to attend KU's late night over Illinois. I expect him to sign soon with KU. He might but considering Self has Beal's entire HS team coming (because his coach is pro KU) it shouldn't be surprising Beal chose to go to KU's MM. He very well could commit to KU but this really isn't that telling of a sign.

Has there ever been a playoff team with a closer who had a worse season than Brad Lidge? I would feel so uncomfortable if I was a Phillies fan right now.

Joe Mauer watching his future team celebrate.

Twins imploding in the 9th.

Nick Punto with one of the worst base running plays ever.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 11, 2009 -> 06:42 PM) Seriously, it's game 3 of the ALDS and the pitchers the Twins have thrown out so far are Duensing, Blackburn, and now THE Carl Pavano. How the Hell did these guys win the division with that as their starting rotation? The AL Central was an absolute joke and the White Sox and Tigers would struggle to score against little leaguers.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Oct 11, 2009 -> 06:34 PM) WOW should have been offensive pass interference on marshall and orton should have thrown an INT right there....big call for denver Receivers can do whatever they want to CB without getting called for PI generally. Yet a CB can't touch a receiver beyond 5 yards without getting a penalty and you basically can't hit a QB anymore on D.

Guerrero with a base hit and the Angels up 7-6. 3 runs with two outs nobody on in the 9th for the Angels.

Red Sox up 1 in the top of the 9th. But Vlad up with the bases loaded and 2 outs against Papelbon.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 11:49 PM) Pods put up great stats. I think he is by far our best hitter; seems like that dude just knows how to take what the pitcher gives him and get a hit. No? Beckham and AJ seem to have this ability as well. Pods by far our best hitter? You can't be serious can you? Gordon Beckham was a better hitter as a rookie than Pods in basically a career year for him. The 3 previous years to this one Pod was a horrible hitter and even this year he was about average for an AL leadoff man. Pods was one of our best hitters this year but that was a tallest midget contest. Historically Pods ranks behind Konerko, Rios, AJ, Beckham, Quentin. Pods has been a bad hitter more often than not in his career but had a decent year at the plate this and did everything else really poorly.

Teixeira=Stud. Talk about money well spent for the Yankees. Burnett, Sabathia, and Tex just killing it.
