Lilly time!
Catchers everywhere should be afraid
Your 2008 Missouri Tigers! #5 3-0 (0-0). Next up Saturday home vs. Buffalo. Chase Daniel and Jeremy Maclin for Co-Heisman!
Humberto Quintero
is today’s sacrificial catcher.

Now I get to listen to the Astro announcers whine about not being at home for 3 hours
I will debate spending extra money to get the CSN feed.

OT: To show you how much an affect getting C C was to MILW
in the last 13 games played by the Brewers, they are 3-10, haveing scored a miniscule 37 runs while giving up 69. Their starters tanking and the bullpen being, well, the Brewer bull pen, along with their big boppers becoming little boppers, did them in.

Um...
Sorry, Ohio State is just bad this year.
They barely beat Ohio and just got their defense got their ass handed to them by an offense that was supposed to be the weak part of the Trojans.
I don’t see USC being able to put up 50+ ppg this year. I think Mizzou could.
I don't think a team that's been to the championship the last two years
is gonna be “bad” this year. When I think of “bad”, I think of Baylor, Minnesota, or Nebraska last year. I don’t think of Ohio State. USC is fucking great. That’s the situation.
Evey Hammond: Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici. V: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
Okay, maybe "bad" was a poor choice of words
But I’ll put it this way: I don’t see Ohio State being a “great” team this year. I have been thoroughly unimpressed with anything Ohio State has done this year. Last year happened last year. Show me something this year.
USC starts a freakin NFL D and has what 5 RB's that look great
They have an awesome team. most complete team in the country. OU is second in that category.

If USC doesn't pull one of its patented brain farts
Then it’s Georgia vs. Mizzou, which is the game I want to see.
But if SC’s defense keeps going, yeah, it’s going to be Trojans and Tigers.

Agree in principle
Except:
—Tennessee sucks this year
—Florida is overrated
—Auburn has an offense that finds a way to gain 300 yards and score three points
—LSU has no QB
So it’s doable.
Florida is still really young
but I think they’re very good.
I haven’t seen LSU yet. Waiting for conference play to start. I cant get into college FB until then.

But they’re not NC ready.
Even Matthew Stafford should be able to throw for 250-300 yards against that secondary.
oh, i don't thik they'll challenge for the title
but running the table in the SEC is hard.
We’ll see though. should be a good season to watch. (I’ve completely given up on the Big 10 ever being fun and athletic like the rest of college FB)

Just finished reading about the whole saga of the Astros feeling cheated by the relocation to Miller Park...
And here’s what I have to say. What are they angry about?
Zambrano was going to mow them down any place, any time, with the stuff he had. 12 days off obviously helped as the radar gun would indicate. You can’t tell me they honestly think they were going to beat him at their own park.
Are they just angry because of the humiliation of being no-hit (that’s almost as bad as suffering 20 K’s, hee-hee)? If that’s the real issue, then they should have been drag-bunting in the 9th just to make their point. They could have just claimed the game was being played on unfair terms and they wanted to break up the no-no because it wasn’t legitimate. Since the manager left his starters in and they were all playing honorably, I think there’s no issue. They just got dominated, period.
Some people aren't giving Zambrano credit
They’re saying thigns like “The Astros were tired from having to travel and evacuate their families” and “This wouldn’t have happened at the juice box”
I guess that’s the difference between a 1-hitter and a no-hitter. Tired opponents.
this is pissing me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did anyone see the ESPN chat about last night?
Ridiculously one-sided anti-Cub, in my view. Plus, Amy Nelson seemed to bring absolutely no new information as to how Miller Park got the games — the chatters knew more about the situation than she did.
Most hilarious was the Sox fan who felt the need to chime in with his conspiracy theory that the Cubs purposefully scheduled the game at the same time as the White Sox-Tigers game to draw viewership away. Conspiracy theory, anyone?
Finally, I am starting to hope that the Astros rebound, get the wildcard, and that the Cubs wind up seeing them in the post-season. I have never really disliked them, but all the whining about a situation that was caused (or at least made worse) by their own management is leaving a really bad taste in my mouth.
Gotta love the fact this would piss ANY White Sux fans off...
…when THEIR team was sweeping a double-header and getting a 1.5 game lead on first place. How sad is that?
Wait a minute... who am I here?
One of my roommates had a perfect sports day
Sox win, Bucs win. Then the Big Z no-hitter comes through and his day was ruined. Its just a sad and awesome thing to see.

"You gotta be some kind of strong to hit that ball"-Joe Carter
WOW. It's real. From the Brewers own website:
The Milwaukee Brewers today announced that Ned Yost has been dismissed from his position as manager of the Club. The announcement was made by Brewers Executive Vice President and General Manager, Doug Melvin.
“This was a very difficult move to make, and we appreciate all of the work that Ned has done to develop this team into a contender,” Melvin said. “In the end, this was a collaborative decision made to put our Club in the best position for the final two weeks of the season.”
Dale Sveum, the Brewers third base coach, will take over in an interim role as manager for the remainder of the season. Bench Coach Ted Simmons has been reassigned to an advisory role. Any other coaching changes will be announced later.
Go Green! Go White! GO STATE! (#13031 on the Cubs season ticket waiting list...)
From what i’ve noticed the Brewers haven’t had much of a manager so it’s hard to imagine it would get worse for them. I mean who fires a manager in the middle of a wild card chase?
Fontenot may be the least likely looking home run hitter. He packs a big punch with his 5-foot-8 physique. Where's the power come from?
"I don't know," Fontenot said. "I've always had decent power my whole life. I guess it's bat speed. Timing a little bit. My grown-man strength."

that mutinies on the manager in the middle of a meltdown?
