Ok, Now I'm convinced that offense was up a lot. Thanks.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 10:24 PM) I never give them credit but it might be because I loathe that team. Loathing them is fine, but they gained the most yards in the NFL last year and Gates, Rivers, and Jackson had exactly 1 game where all 3 started. They're going to be a top offense in the AFC this year barring Rivers going down.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 11:25 PM) What usually happens with steriods is that the muscle is so strong that there is an avulsion fracture. This is where the force is so great that the muscle pulls off a piece of bone. Of course you can tear the tendon off the bone but from my experience it is more likely that the piece of bone comes off. isn't it also true that not every muscle/bone connection is the same, and that different tears ought to work in different ways?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 09:01 AM) If he was hurt, he would be on the DL. He would have been a long time ago if they had any reason to do so. It has to be mental. There can be more to "physical problems" than injuries. I don't have any reason to think he's in worse shape this year than previous years but I can't rule it out. I also can't rule out that he had some help of a chemical sort while in Washington (yes, it's unfair...start hitting and prove me wrong)

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 10:20 PM) Patriots with the best offense in the AFC this season. The Ravens and Texans right behind them. Add San diego

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 10:10 PM) I still think Scherzer is the second best pitcher (at least stuff wise) in the division. If he ever puts it together for a full season? Ouch. Stuff wise? Jiminez.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 10:08 PM) It's scary as hell to think of what happens if they bring in Reyes or Aramis, etc. No reason in the world for them to not be the class of the AL Central the next few years. Starters 2-5?

I don't think those are the same animal

TOM BRADY THREW AN INT!!!!!!!!!!

Is this an acceptable topic switch/peace offering?

evidently no.

Could be one reason.

Army had plenty of presence, but not him, no.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 05:23 PM) And the Nats probably have a leg up on that. Maybe not just yet.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 04:57 PM) You need to rewrite your book. He's been a 30 HR/100 RBI guy once and he's certainly not more than adequate in the OF. He really was this year. The last 2 years he's had that foot thing and that really cut his range...but aside from the "Getting hurt while playing the OF" part, he's really been adequate, if not more than adequate. It's not an exaggeration to say that he has been the best defender at his position in our OF. He's been average to slightly above average at his position, while Rios and Pierre were disappointing and terrible, respectively.

Q Re: that article... Given the massive increase in the Money supply over the past couple years...haven't bank "Deposits" increased significantly as well?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 04:27 PM) I've read almost exactly that on here many times. and once we get back to 6.5% unemployment, it'll stop being true.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 04:23 PM) 2) He can only go to Florida and win three consecutive WS titles if the Sox fire or trade him. He's under contract for 2012. If he wants to go to Florida and Florida wants him, its possible to arrange a buyout also

2 year, $21 million extension for Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 03:42 PM) If it was, they would have been gone at the deadline, Q especially. IF both had had really good, and healthy years, the Yankees might have given you 1 catcher for the 2 of them. Neithetr Danks or Quentin has done what was needed to really improve their value this year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 03:31 PM) Ken Rosenthal has been the senior baseball writer for FOXSports.com since August 2005. He appears weekly on MLB on FOX. Follow him on Twitter. Ken Rosenthal told that to Ken Rosenthal? Look, if the decision hasn't been made yet then that's another thing wrong with this org. The division is already decided, nothing important is going to change in the next month. The only ? ought to be whether there's a price from Florida that would change their minds if they intend to hold onto him.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 03:35 PM) Is it possible to pry away one of the Yankees' apparent stud catchers for Danks or Quentin? Highly unlikely. They wouldn't trade them for Greinke last year.
