I am in a snake league and I acquired Micheal Crabtree. I would like to know what should I do with him. I know that he is still not signed yet.
Right now I a debating if I should keep him or not, because i am not that sure how effective he will be in the season. Any help would be great.

First Badgers Memory

tyr — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 03:41:31 -0000

I have been a Badgers fan since I really got into watching football. I was wondering what is the first memory of watching that Badgers that you guys or girls can recall. Mine would be the 1994 Rose Bowl when Badgers beat the Bruins 21-16.
I like the way that they ran the ball with power and persistence behine Brent Moss 158 yards in 36 carries with two touchdowns. As well as having a passing game withDarrell Bevel.

Why Now?

tyr — Tue, 12 May 2009 22:35:08 -0000

Why did the Vikings wait till after the draft to address the QB situation? To me this just shows that Chilly has now business running an NFL team. Sure it is more than likely that Brett the Fairy will be a Viking. Farve has been PAST his prime for the past 5 years. Sure he had 1 magical season a couple years back. All I can see his him imploding the way he did with the Jets last season. Well at least Chilly will be gone next season then. The next coach will need to fix what he screwed up.

Osgood Series MVP

via info.detnews.com

With the way the Chris Osgood played in the series in the net. I think he deserves to be the MVP in the series. He is the main reason why they swept the blue jackets with ease. Osgood allowed just two goals on 77 shots in his first three games and rode a shutout streak of 144:27 during the series. Game 4 wasn't exactly Osgood's best, but he didn't get much help from a complacent Wings squad that looked like it was about to cruise to a sweep. Even so, Detroit never trailed -- not once in the series -- and Osgood came up with 11 clutch saves in the third period while his teammates worked to redeem themselves with a winning goal.Now they are waiting to see who they will be facing after the reseeding in the 2nd round.

MLB/MiLB

tyr — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 15:15:09 -0000

I was listening to the radio this morning, and they were talking about baseball. They were saying that most people will proably opt to see a minor league game over a MLB game. My wife and i will be going down to Appleton this year to watch the Rattlers. We will not be spending a ton of money this year with the economic problems and all. I have attached a poll and was wondering who everyone will be going out and seeing this season.

Projected Starting Rotation-2009

tyr — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 12:41:32 -0000

I saw something this on TigerTales, so though I would try it out. The projections are shown in the table below of the projected starting rotation. I took the average of the ERA and the K/BB with the following systems: Bill James, CHONE, and Marcel. To give you a perspective on these stats for the Crew a year ago, the team ERA was:3.85 and K/BB 2.10.
With Yovani Gallardo missing most of the season with a knee injury, he is expected to pick up this pitching staff and lead them this season. In 4 starts last season, he had a 1.88 ERA and a 2.5 K/BB rate.It is not fair to say what he would have had. With the projections the Crew's ace is projected to have the lowest ERA and 2nd highest K/BB rate. The rest with the exception of Suppan is acceptable with ERA and K/BB. The spot where Suppan will is going to be hard on the offense. Considering that Crew will have to put up around 5 runs every 5th day.With McClung getting some chances to make the rotation this spring. I think that the Crew should move McClung to the 4 or 5 spot and sent Suppan to the bullpen.

Table of Pitching Projections

Pitcher	ERA	K/BB
Yovani Gallardo	3.56	2.65
Dave Bush	4.19	2.77
Manny Parra	4.20	2.14
Braden Looper	4.37	1.98
Jeff Suppan	4.96	1.51
Seth McClung	4.29	1.64

New Stadium Talk

tyr — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:29:41 -0000

I cannot believe it was this long until the stadium talk again. In the Star Trib, I do not want to see the VIkes moving to LA. It is looking like a very good possibility right now with the lease on the current stadium running out in 2011. Wilf said that he does not plan on moving or selling the team in the near future. The league is monitoring potential stadium developments in the Los Angeles area but has declined to comment on specific sites or teams that might move to the region. Roski's Majestic Real Estate Co. agreed with NFL officials not to make any formal overtures to team owners until Industry officials certified the plan, which they could do today at a city council meeting.

Ben Sheets??

With Ben Sheets still unsigned for the this upcoming season, it is quite interesting.I know that he has had injury issues in the past.He has proven over the years' to be a good starting pitcher. He was a All-Star pitcher last season so why not Brewers.I was wondering if anyone knows if the Crew is going after after him. If not him whom are they going to replace with the gapping hole in the starting pitching rotation?
