he didnt look good. he just floated, lost the puck a lot.

baddoo has played nine games in a row. perhaps he just needed a rest? but please, continue the very reasonable aj hate.

steve stone was on the sox game talking about how so many pitchers are relying so heavily on sliders and that's why there have been so many injuries to pitchers.

z cavariccis.

grossman is 250/351/500 with the braves. how does coolbaugh still have a job?

2012 and 2013 were their best teams. but cabrera got injured and leyland fucked up the boston series and they lost. c'est la vie...ou, plus ca change, plus ca la meme chose.

did you miss the first time? when he walked a batter on a 1-2 count and the next batter hit a home run? i hope you saw it because it was GLORIOUS.

if they had let dd do the houscleaning and trade verlander i can almost guarantee who would have gotten better prospects back than avila did.

maybe its him recovering from food poisoning, but edvinsson has looked slow and off tonight. wallinder got undressed by a finn in the 3rd. neiderbach has been ok. in fairness, finland can be a hard team to play against. mazur was great the whole tourney. cossa only played once and was just ok. bednar wasnt anything to write home about.

notre dame didnt have any games last year that registered as many viewers as wisconsin-iowa. playing stanford and navy and a bunch of acc schools not named clemson does nothing for nbc. notre dame - ohio state this year will be huge. notre dame-michigan...usc...wisconsin...penn state....now THAT is what nbc wants. the big ten needs to tell notre dame (and nbc) that theyre not playing notre dame unless they join the big ten. see how many viewers nd-duke gets on a saturday night.

me too. although i do wonder if fetters has anything to do with the rash of injuries to the pitching staff.

aj is not the problem, imo. however, if a new gm wanted to come in and clean house and bring in his own people, i'd be fine with it. the team has regressed so badly this year that no one in management should be safe.

the tigers had a really good bullpen in 2006.

good job by manning. that's all that is important in the big picture.

jim leyland had one of the best roatations in baseball stacked full of hall of famers and a lineup of great players in detroit and never won 100 games and never won a world series. sparky anderson had a stacked team with the tigers full of hall of famers and won once. with one great season. you dont win without great players. and even good managers lose with great players. but if your players suck, you're going to be bad like the tigers are now and your manager is going to look bad because of it. unless he just quits like leyland did in colorado. now that's a great leader.

those shorts are so ugly and gaudy, how could we tell?

someone has waaaay too much money to set 2k on fire like that.

can we all pitch in and get cade a better pair of shorts?

not sure how julian okwara is emerging. he's spent most of his time injured this pre season.

look, whatever we get out of okudah is gravy. dude hasnt played for a year and was bad when he did play. i still expect cb to be high on the draft list next year.

by then washington will be in the big ten too.

too long of a deal for us to consider.

https://mgoblog.com/content/large-contract-many-bullet-points#read-more ND's viewership numbers collapsed this year because there was not a showdown against #1 Clemson that went to double OT on the schedule; their best game was their loss to Cincinnati, which only drew 3.8 million viewers. This is bad. Wisconsin/Minnesota drew 5 million; Nebraska/Wisconsin drew 3.5; Purdue-Iowa drew 3.5. those are crappy numbers for nd. article also says that with the big ten moving to peacock/nbc, expect michigan to be back on nd's schedule very soon.

https://www.actionnetwork.com/ncaab/big-ten-historic-media-rights-deal-expansion The contract includes an escalator clause, meaning the deal could approach nearly $10 billion if the Big Ten’s membership increases, network sources said. Even after adding USC and UCLA, the Big Ten “is not done” expanding, sources told Action Network. Last month, Action Network reported the Big Ten would expand beyond 16 schools and was targeting Notre Dame, along with Oregon, Washington, Stanford and Cal from the Pac-12. Those plans have not changed, sources said this week. .... In 2023-24, the league’s schools will receive the same conference distribution as they did in 2022-23 (nearly $60 million per school). The league’s payouts will increase slightly in Year 2 (2024-25) before drastically increasing the final five years of the deal from 2025-30, growing to about $100 million per school, including revenue from the College Football Playoff, bowl games and the NCAA Basketball Tournament.

doesnt include usc and ucla in the beginning. but i think the value goes up when they come in. if there is a clause opening it up for future teams to be added, i wonder if that could increase the amount paid by the networks depending upon who thosr teams are?
