    It wouldn't be the first time that Jacko is overcompensating for something.

    Before you get too down on yourself, I never said that I didn't deserve it. Besides, I rip on you for being brown, so I consider us even.

    I'm pissed off that YOTN won "funniest poster" last year, so I'm gunning for the number 1 spot. I'm coming back with avengance.

    Is it too narcissistic to quote yourself in your sig?

    He's got you there Dipre, haha. Isn't life better when we're aware and conscious of our own idiosyncrasies and limitations? Besides, if firing off knucklechildren to posters of JD Drew in the convenience of my neighbour's home while he's at work is gay, then I don't want to be straight.

    For the record, there are many different kind of trolls. First, there is the spamming, unintelligent troll who says the dumbest things possible in order to keep people talking to/at him (ie Pwndroia/Jacko) and then there is the egotistical troll who baits people in to arguments and eggs them on and begs the moderators to step in and handle business for them (ie a700). Therefore, there are many kinds of trolls and "successful trolls". As far as I'm concerned, both examples are very successful at what they do.

    And Pittsburgh drops like Sidney Crosby after mild contact. Another top 3 seed eliminated.

    Nice, I was afraid that the Yankees were going to sign Mauer and that I'd have to stop watching baseball. Even though I'd love to have him on Boston, he belongs in Minnesota.

    Is it safe to say that Chas Mcfarland of Wake Forest is the dirtiest basketball player in the NCAA?

    Wow, I thought that MSU was killing Maryland. I guess they must have come back in order to have made it close.

    The higher seeds don't always win, but there are certainly less upsets because there's a larger disparity between the good teams, the amazing teams, and the rest. Besides, that's not the reason why nobody watches women's basketball. Nobody watches women's basketball because it's women's basketball.

    And there's also no need to ignore a potential way to make your team better. I'm not saying that we should get Lee over Beckett, but just because our rotation "isn't broken", doesn't mean that we can't make it better.

    Mynfldraft.com has the Patriots using their last 2nd round pick (#53) on Rob Gronkowski who is a TE from Arizona. For the record, they have him going 1 pick before the Bengals take TE Aaron Hernandez, who was Tebow's running mate in Florida.

    It's actually interesting to note that while the men's bracket has been unpredictable and tumultuous, that there hasn't been a single upset in the Women's basketball tournament thus far.

    Exactly, while it's more conventional to have black holes at the SS, 2B, or C positions, if you have better players at those positions then it's acceptable to have a black hole at 3B. In other words, it's better to look at black holes relative to the lineup itself rather than looking at black holes relative to the positions that they play. 3B is usually seen as a power bat position, but if you have no other blackholes and a good fielding 3B, then the 3B can hit like a blindfolded Julio Lugo and the team should be fine, depending on their pitching, fielding, coaching etc. Also, I am aware that a blindfolded Julio Lugo might indeed hit better than a regular Julio Lugo, but for the purposes of the analogy let's assume that it'd somehow make him worse.

    While I had Kansas losing in the next round, I had Villanova losing at the right time. The problem is, that I had Richmond beating St. Mary's and then Richmond beating Nova. So even though my ballsy call of Villanova losing at that time was right, the fact that I had the wrong #7/#10 eliminates any points I would have gotten. F***.

    Welcome dude.

    Then again we were all counting on AJ Burnett to make his usual lengthy vacation on the DL and by some act of God he stayed healthy all year. I guess that was the first signal that God rigged it to be the Yankee's year.
  20. italstallianion
    Or we could let Van Every in as a reliever. It'd be funny to watch and it'd give him some playing time. Plus, if our bullpen was that depleted or if we were behind by enough to put Embree in anyway, then we're already f***** so it wouldn't matter.
  21. italstallianion
    Thank God I had Kansas losing in the next round anyway. I never could trust Kansas after they lost in the first round to Bucknell and Bradley in back to back years. It hurt me when they won the title 2 years ago, but it didn't hurt me now. So much for rocking chalk jayhawk.

    Dude, our offense was near the top of every offensive category last year. Sure, our offense got a bit worse between last year and this year, but our increases in pitching and defense (and the draft) should more than compensate. Last Year (MLB Rank) Average: .270 (T-4th) Runs: 872 (3rd) Hits: 1495 (7th) HR: 212 (4th) 2B: 335 (2nd) 3B: 35 (T-21st) RBI: 822 (3rd) SB: 126 (5th) OBP: .352 (2nd) SLG: .454 (2nd)

    That's actually not true. JD Drew's OPS last year was .914, while Bay's was .921. Youkilis was .961. Drew had the worst OPS of the 3. Also, oddly enough, JD Drizzle and Jason Bay have the same career OPS of .896.
