Bill Madden picks Phils, Braves, Mets finish

Normally, this wouldn't be significant enough to post, but I had to share this:

"But the area where the Phillies most significantly upgraded themselves was left field, replacing inconsistent Pat Burrell with the very consistent Raul Ibanez, who has more RBI over the past three seasons than Manny Ramirez."

Old and New Money(Ball): Walks versus Defense

Bunch of sabr.
Having average defense is apparently more valuable than an average walk-rate.

Note: Endy is projected to be just one run worse than Dunn over the course of an entire season? Is it true?

Buh.. buh... he isn't clutch enough! Well... this measure says Carlos Beltran was the best player down the stretch.
Johan Santana is pretty good, too.

Congratulations Ryan Grant

22 carries, 104 yards in a win for the Packers last week versus the Broncos.

Would anybody have ever guessed that this guy would have a game even close to this in the NFL?

Don't give up Darius Walker... Don't give up anyone. It's nice to see that a guy can go undrafted and still have something to be very proud of other than simply playing in college or being signed to an NFL team. He performed.

I'm outraged, no Michigan?

Ska_tiny by BlackOps on Comment 2 comments

I heard earlier, and I'm not sure if it was previously posted on here, that Notre Dame and Michigan are dropping their game for two seasons. Notre Dame is going to pick up Oklahoma for the 2012 and 2013 seasons.

If I get into Notre Dame (and I damn well will be there one day, maybe not at first, but I'm getting there), that means no Michigan for my sophomore and junior year!

WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?

I may be different than you guys, but I was taught to HATE MICHIGAN! My dad went to Ohio State and my mom at ND, but my mom was the one who taught me to hate Michigan. This seems to make these two football seasons empty for me, because there is little chance to beat Michigan! Well, there's still the OSU/Michigan game for me. But you? Alright, sure, you all would probably rather beat USC than Michigan, but this is my chance to complain. I look forward every year to beating Michigan. It's what really gets me into football early. I need this game.

End rant.
