Misplaced_Sox

This should have been the plan yesterday

If rowand was as shallow as BA to being with..... no way Rowand gets the catch

it sounds like safeco is built in the middle of a train yard

yay for cliff but McCarthy next please

LOL look at the know-it-alls coming out of the woodwork Mlb.tv was slow but they put the one run up there before the showed it in the box and I started lauhging my ass off too

Yah yah Ozzie is great but this game was easily winnable... easily Better to not just throw games away... you know for the sake of freshness

I would have never run out this lineup for the first game... just pure madness

pablo have trouble with that ball?

Garland is mentally not here

Iguchi looks much quicker in the field this year

This lineup is awfully bad for a series opener

They should sing the Lead song from "Little Mermaid" mlb.tv has sucked so far this year like John Garland

Is anyone else trying to watch via MLB.tv? Its the choir of the fish people Are they under water? Episode of the snorks?

This is where Boone Logan is still better than Politte right now Yep

He pitched great in ST and earned his spot. He is pitching better than politte, and Cotts for crying out loud Give him a few more appearances I say.

Can we just keep BA in center unless we trade for something better Dahm

Man our day crowds are dead...... so far Its like a golf outing.... wow

Widger keeps setting up outside Whats his problem

I thought also the Football 2k5 was miles, MILES ahead of anything EA sports did with Madden and their football games EA is a joke I will not buy anymore of their crap products. They just minir tweak things and always leave big holes unfilled. If anything EA is the arcade king. I found more that 2k Series are more sim and realistic.

Are not the Japanese "WORLD" champions.... huh huh.... a little respect.....hmmmm They do own the world SUPERIOR... or something like it

Tackles smackels.... Id be worried if Tillman and Vasher were setting career higs in tackles... thats Briggs job In Lovie's scheme the LBS make the tackles.... he doesnt expect his down lineman to... they are supposed to penetrate, the bust the play up and force them to change where they want to go. I am not impressed by tackles. I am impressed with his ability to drop interception after interception that hits him in his hands. And his lack of sacks despite being the "hot" man in Chico's eagle blitz packages. I mean can we look at him objectively. He is supposed to be the Derrick Brooks WILL the most important piece in the Tampa 2. And he gets every oppurtunity to be a playmaker with the blitz packages brough over with Riveria and he fails. Watch some old tape. Watch him blitz and get chipped by an RB constantly.

I didnt mean to really bad mouth Lance. Hes a good guy but he is nto a great athlete. I think one reason people think he might be better than Urlacher is because Urlacher is always smoothered by a guard, FB, chipped by TE. We are not in the ted Washington fall on blockers era anymore. Our DE/DT must get upfield and stay in their lanes... which they do not yet...too young agressive... so Urlacher is mostly bundled up letting Lance in for easy "tackles" But besides that what else does he do in a position in which he needs to have better numbers. In lovie's system he is supposed to the "THE" playmaker because he is the most free to the ball. But he always is held up on blitzes, and takes poor angles to the ball. Plus in coverage he is a liability. A chad Greenway, Chris Carpenter is a much better athlete to play that spot. Maybe Im through with Briggs because he wants better than Urlacher money... which I dont agree with.

I think he was off balance because of the spin on that bounce.... it forced Iguchi to lunge forward for it.... If I was charging a ball and it took a wierd bounc ewith english I might be flat on my ass I have seen Crede fall flat on his ass on bad hops

Whoops wrong board sorry

He is not very athletic despite what people think. He is not very quick and his top end speed is slow. I have seen him get burned around the corner many times. He makes good reads which makes up for his pedestrian speed but alot of his "talent" comes from everyone thinking about Urlacher. I can tell you one thing NO ONE game plans for Briggs. He isnt really a playmaker. Doesnt cause a lot of sacks.... gets stood up on blitzes....DROPS MANY INTERCEPTIONS... I think he has the worst hands I have ever seen There are so many better athletes at LB in this draft Remeber Briggs is only a 4.8 40 and his cone and side to side motion was lacking. I will give him he has great size but is kinda stiff with that big frame. There is many decent sized LB's comign out this year with great quickness and 4.5-4.6 times So so long Briggs.... Warrick Holdman will tell you how good it gets I think you could put any linebacker at WOLB next to URlacher and make plays because everything comes easy when the defense is tyring to pick off Urlacher anyway they can.
