with usc, michigan, michigan state, and even purdue in the big ten, what "rivals" do the irish have left? stanford? navy? they think they're gonna get big ratings by playing stanford, navy, and the big 12?

they'll still make less money than if they joined the big ten. seriously notre dame...enough already.

illitch doesnt know what to do with the baseball team, so he just went with the guy who was there and sold him on all these progressive changes he was making. i know his dad was super loyal, but he also expected results. and when he didnt get them, he fired the guy and moved on. chris doesnt seem to have his father's initiative in that regard. i dont think its a matter of him "not caring," i think its because he doesnt know anything about baseball or running a baseball team.

i'm not apoplectic at all. the only thing really unexpected is the rash of injuries. you had young pitchers and rookie position players and the expectations for them to do very well were outsized. you built a team on young pitching and - surprise! - it got hurt and is inconsistent. welcome to baseball. i expect tork and greene to be fine in the long run. greene looks really promising. tork needs some work but he's still really young. they arent going to be in their primes for another 6-7 years. al avila has been your general manager since 2015. to expect success from this now is a fool's errand. the changes everyone lauded about the system of acquiring and developing talent were only recently implemented. it will take time to show results.

how dare you.

kyle schwarber?

i remember when he was going to play third base. just like tork was...

how many analytical psychology jokes can we make during his career?

he looks like billy butler....or chris shelton. that guy plays second base? i never would have thought that. but if issac paredes can play second, i dont know why jung cant.

remember when they did this over the phone on a league wide conference call? they'd get the whole thing done in a day or two, iirc. all 40 rounds or however many they had back then.

i'm old enough to remember the fubar for kumar thread.

i knew james mccann was special, but living until 3035? the dude really is a machine.

agree, its going to be a long time until we know what jobe will be.

noto to casmir, i dont think you walk on water either.

duncan keith? mike smith? kenny taketh, kenny giveth away.

y'all get your wish: tork optioned to toledo.

but you think people think he turns water into wine?

lebron with 42 and 16 at the drew league. your move, stanley!

pecota warned all of us, and we didnt listen (except Lee).

i think ono was hired to clean up the mess from the multiple scandals at the university, i dont know if sports is his main focus. he strikes me as a guy coming in to right the ship, not to make waves and take the athletic department in a new direction. the one you need to convince is harbaugh. that said, losing a few more dante moores will likely do that is harbaugh is still engaged at that point.

you are quite the dreamer!

jeff petry to pittsburgh. the same folks who are saying the wings are in on klingberg also said they were in on petry. so take that for what its worth. pittsburgh is going to suck in a couple years. quick! see who the best player in the draft is in a couple years so the league can start getting his penguins jersey ready now. lucky fucks.

is there a point to summer league now? no one of consequence is playing anymore. seems like the teams have decided to get their rookies properly prepared for the regular season by sitting them in 1/3 of the games...just like in the regular season. load managment.

as opposed to the other side of board who thinks hinch is basically hitler in a track suit because of the astros scandal?

because you have a bad general manager?
