I really like this camera angle and wish they'd use it more in regular season games
you miss out on seeing the pitches move, but there’s no awkward transition once the ball is hit.
one day we'll be able to choose our own camera angles.

Imagine how bad it will be when the games mean something
Which you know, right now they don’t. At all.
The Blackhawks game certainly means something
and a loss to the Cubs is a loss to the Cubs, means more to me then the average spring training game
This is actually somewhat fascinating to me
I mean, I don’t really buy into the Cubs/Sox rivalry anymore, but I understand why it is important for some people. However at what level of abstraction would it take for you to not care about the outcome of a “Cubs/Sox game”? We had only 4 projected opening day starters playing, and only 7 that will be on the 25-man roster, out of a total of 19 players. No pitchers that will even sniff the majors this years (unless we run into a LOT of trouble).
I assume you wouldn’t care what happens in a beer league game between teams dressed up in Sox and Cubs jerseys, or at least not to the degree that you would describe it as a “shit sports day” if the Sox team lost. So why care about a game that, come April, involves more people who won’t be on the Sox than will?

you’ll know what to do.
by larry on Mar 14, 2010 2:42 PM CDT up reply actions 3 recs
you are reading to much into this
and I don’t really feel like explaining why I care slightly more about the games against the Cubs in Spring Training
My two favorite teams lost, it was a shit sports day. I’m way more upset about the Blackhawks loses though
that hawks loss was terrible, 2 goals allowed in 3 minutes, the game winner with 3 seconds left!
but Im with brains on the cubs/sox game. that resembled the old windy city classics.
Jared Mitchell, who will undergo surgery for a torn tendon in his left foot, visited the White Sox clubhouse Sunday morning heavily bandaged and on crutches.
“I’m fine,” he said when asked about his mental state. “Just some extra work I’ve got to put in. It’s all part of the process. What else can you do? I’m not going to quit. It’s all a test of character.”
The Sox No. 1 draft choice last June hurt his ankle Friday while playing in a split squad game. He was expected to start the season at Class A Winston-Salem, but surgery and rehabilitation could cost him most of the season.

He's a cunning Jew. by Ozzie Montana on Mar 13, 2010 3:30 PM EST
You're surprised at this?
That’s actually pretty lenient. Marquette had a similar situation in two out of the last three years — one of their better players went down, and as a result Marquette dropped by a spot or two simply because the team they were bringing to the tourney was not the same team that made them so good throughout the year. It sucks but I think it’s pretty reasonable.
And Syracuse would pound a Hummel-less Purdue, BTW. Who has an argument to be a #1 seed over them?
Right.
Purdue has changed their ESPN name to “Purdue who is wothout Robbie Hummel”.

Doesn't change things
You lose 14 games you can’t complain. You could easily argue Florida and Utah State weren’t deserving, but neither was UofI. It’s not all bad, I think I’d rather win the NIT then lose in the first or second round of the tournament.
by Grinder in Training on Mar 15, 2010 4:08 PM CDT up reply actions
yes it does, completely.
when you say that losing 6 of 8 games caused them to not make the tournament, which is what my post was in response to. i understand that their selection process is not perfect, and that every year some bubble teams get left out, and that illinois did not have a perfect resume. but to ignore the fact that they had more quality wins than any other bubble team is puzzling to me, at best.
I saw the schedule, and they were tough games
but Ohio State, Wisconsin and worst of all Minnesota, were all embarrassing losses at home (the comeback against Minnesota showed some guts sure, but you shouldn’t be getting pounded by Minnesota at home).
“Good” losses are still losses, and when you have enough of them you open yourself to the possibility of not making it in.
Either way I don’t really care too much. This at least saves me from having to pretend about the outcome of some 8/9 or 7/10 game.
Yep
Ken Pomeroy has Illinois as the 52nd best team in the country. And as you mentioned, some of the losses were absolute beat downs — double-digit losses against Ohio State (twice!), Purdue and Wisconsin.
Does U of I have an argument against two or three fringe NCAA? I suppose, but it’s their fault for being part of that fringe in the first place. If they don’t lose (at home) to Minnesota or can close out Ohio State, is there any doubt that they’re dancing?
without a doubt
i’m arguing against some of the bubble teams that got in. its completely their fault for being there in the first place.
Winning the NIT means something?

I would say this is OT, but there aren't really any T's to get O of
So I am about to do my first fantasy draft, and I was wondering what are the best analytical sites out there for this sort of stuff? Preferably something where you could input which stats the league is using and it comes up with a valuation of the players (if such a thing exists).
R, RBI, HR, BA, SB, OPS
and SV, WHIP, ERA, K, QS
Not super progressive but at least they are keeping W-L out, which, with relief pitchers, I can only imagine how volatile those categories would get from week to week.
I have one Util batter and 2 SP and 2 RP with 3 “flex” pitching spots.
I was wondering about loading up on closers for those flex spots to assure the Save category, figuring that will also help in WHIP and ERA, but that seems kinda like a risky move for my first time.
Yeah I am the 5th pick overall and I saw Mauer varied quite a bit in rankings from site to site
I was going to make a go at him, but since his HR numbers aren’t huge, I’m thinking that getting one of the strong 1B candidates might be more important.

two of my friends and I were at the backstage, looking at the stripper on the pole to the left. the girl on the right side had long legs and big stilettos. kicked my friend right in the side of the head, just below his temple on a spin around the pole move. he thought the dude to his right punched him so he got up to fight, but the stripper was all over him apologizing. It was great because it turned into VIP night for all of us, free drinks and entertainment.

Im a bit surprised no one around here is freaking out about Buehrle’s arm since it seems to be bothering him and he wasnt all that good after his consecutive batters streak.
buehrle skipping starts in march? sore arm?
heck, that just means he had a full duck hunting season of raising the old shotgun skyward. now that he’s surrounded by a punch of fellow rednecks maybe he just overdid a bit more than usual even this winter!
Holy Sheets!
Sheets was knocked out of a game today against the Reds after giving up 10 runs, 8 hits and 1 walk. He retired nobody. Even Linebrink usually retires somebody.
he was above 90.
just had no command. not a particularly unusual thing for a guy coming off surgery and a huge layoff. not that i’d want to be the one paying him $10M right now, of course.
He really needs to...
get an out so we associate an actual number with his ridiculously large spring training ERA. While the infinity symbol might be an awesome jersey number, it just doesn’t sit well as an ERA.
