I don't know if you will find divisional odds anywhere... Also when looking at that stuff keep in mind that it is all market factors that determine odds. If more people are buying the Indians than the Sox, the Indians odds will be lower. That's the way it works out there...

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 30, 2005 -> 12:49 PM) http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,145825,00.html 72 percent of registerd voters turned out. That's north of 8 million people. All of this in the face of death threats and bombings. I'm really glad to see that these people appreciate and are taking advantage of the opportunity to vote for the 1st time in 50 some years over there. I only wish that U.S. voters appreciated their freedom to vote this much. A little rain or snow is enough to keep a good many Americans from the polls. No s***. It just goes to show what a nation of spoiled little b****es we have become. We look for excuses NOT to vote. They have the threat of death over their heads and still have a higher turnout than our lame asses. Damn that pisses me off.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jan 29, 2005 -> 12:38 AM) Look at their AAA numbers and tell me they performed evenly... I'm sorry but I don't think Grilli has a place here. Ohh well maybe i'm wrong. I could care less what they did at Charlotte to be quite honest. The thing that scares me about Diaz is that he is a two pitch pitcher, and neither one of his pitches are that great. I like haveing Grilli around JIC.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jan 29, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) I thought he retired while the season was still going on? You could say that...

QUOTE(Beastly @ Jan 29, 2005 -> 11:07 AM) The Tigers will get Ordonez. 5 years, 12 mil a year...they basically offered 5 million more and less deferred money than KW's offer. Hope he gets it, but I'm really happy with that we have right here in Chicago. KW's last offer was 5 years $70 mil, nothing deferred.

Saw Napleon Dynamite and it SUCKED. I was so disappointed.

They did add a 3rd show in Chicago and we got great tickets

Happy Birthday Purdue!!!!

Well we got $95 tickets that are a little behind the stage for Monday. We are going to try to see if they add another show, if that is the case, we are going to try for those and ebay these tickets...

It was a cute column, nothing scientific about it. It was more a comment on everyone's mood.

Wow, I gotta say I am surprised. He went from 5th starter to possibly AAA and off of the 40 man roster. I wonder if anyone will claim him?

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 01:42 PM) http://www.cityrating.com/citystats.asp?ci...hicago&state=IL Does it break down "Asian" at all? That would include Japanese, Chinese, Korean etc.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 01:31 PM) Yeah, that's exactly what I was getting at. I didn't really see a big turnout last year for Shingo. I know on the coasts, especially out west, Japanese players add to the attendance big time. I'd be curious to see some cencus stats. I think being an everyday position player has a chance to push attentence much more than a relief pitcher does. Especially since you have to factor in that Shingo was barely used in April and really took a while to win the closers role. I think Iguchi will provide a daily presence that will make the opportunity to see a Japanese player everyday, much more likely.

QUOTE(Yossarian @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 11:57 AM) I'm not so sold on the starting rotation. MB and Garcia should be solid. El Duque will be fine if he's healthy but is he? Contreras has been "inconsistent" to put it mildly and we've all been over the enigma of Jon Garland a million times. I like the bullpen. I'm not convinced about the rotation, but give KW credit for going out and getting El Duque. Actually looking back on the 1983 rotation was kind of interesting. I looked at their careers and 1982's and it was kind of interesting. Hoyt pretty much carried the same numbers from 82-83 and obviously got a big bounce from the offense. Bannister was pretty steady from year to year. Burns had a big improvement from 82 to 83. And when you look at some of his other years, he was wildly inconsistant, going from eras of 2 1/2 to 4 to 3 1/2 to 5. Dotson had a huge improvement from 82 to 83. Koosman actually had a bad 1983. So what I am saying is that their pitching staff looked to have some questions going into the season as well. They even had one of their starters ERA go up by a run over the prior season. Two of the guys were pretty much steady. Then they had two big improvements. I think the similarities are more apt looking at the starters now.
