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.

…USC just put up 35 straight on a Ohio State team that is gonna have anywhere from 8-12 NFL players drafted next year. I’d say USC is a close 2nd.

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.

what, isn't that
our all-star AAAA first baseman, Micah Hoffpauer?
The idea that he’s in right field while Felix Pie sits on the bench makes me want to drink heavily.

and Felix will be playing next year.

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.

I agree
If the Astros just simply lost a regular 6 hit game, they would have room to complain but when a profesional ball club doesnt get a single hit off a pitcher, you cant complain about anything
