QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 10, 2012 -> 02:09 PM) I think the Strasburg Situation officially has mindf***ed the Nationals now. Good job Rizzo. Good job Boras. This is exactly what Boras wanted to happen. Make his client seem even more & more valuable. If the Nationals breezed to a WS title, it could hurt Strasburg's value.

QUOTE (Tuna @ Oct 10, 2012 -> 09:09 AM) RGIII is suppose to practice today. Everything I've heard (constantly checking rotoworld, listening to sirius fantasy constantly, etc...) says he's playing. However, if there's a week to sit him, it's probably if you have Ben on your team and he's playing Tennessee. That's what I'm thinking. Even though they seem adamant that RGIII is playing, it's still a fresh concussion to the franchise QB, so there are no guarantees.

QUOTE (Cali @ Oct 9, 2012 -> 04:38 PM) If only the Nationals had an Ace with Nintendo like stuff on their active roster. Dumbasses. Even that Ace with Nintendo like stuff couldn't stop the great Pete Kozma!!!

QUOTE (Cali @ Oct 10, 2012 -> 11:22 AM) Havent had a chance to watch any of the games in full (Cut the cord so no tbs) but is it basically like it has been all season where Detroit just is not the same team on the road? Cause it certainly seemed that way just looking at the box score That's what happened last night. Their offense wasn't exactly tearing it up in Detroit either. Of their 8 runs, 3 were on errors, 1 on a wild pitch. Game 1 was won by Verlander's arm, game 2 was won by Oakland's miscues.

Mike Leake to start game 4 today and replaces Johnny Cueto on the roster. Cueto is now unavailable for the NLCS should the Reds advance.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 10, 2012 -> 09:31 AM) Translation: "Of course we're keeping Tebow! Bad publicity is still good publicity! People haven't talked about the Jet's this much since...well, ever! We have a bat phone directly to ESPN's top brass. How cool is that?" I blame Marion Barber. If that dumb ass stays in bounds, the Bears win that game, Oakland or San Diego wins the AFC West instead of Denver, and that playoff game vs. Pittsburgh never happens. I realize there would still be a Tebow craze, but I bet it would much more subdued if that playoff game never happened and the Broncos just ended on a 4-game losing streak.

RGIII with a concussion, but Big Ben plays on Thursday. I bet Griffin does play, but I probably have to stick with Ben Thursday just in case. Can't be taking a zero or attempting to start Kirk Cousins.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 10, 2012 -> 07:58 AM) Anything above 30 years is life for Sandusky, but I do worry that this sentence has set a precedent for future cases, when the perpetrator may be younger and the length of sentence would make a difference. That was my issue. Obviously Sandusky is gone for life, but they essentially gave him like 2-3 years per victim which is nothing.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Oct 9, 2012 -> 06:26 PM) I don't buy excuses like that. Have MLB become so pussified since the 70's? How did those dynasties do it? I do believe baseball can be more about streaks. Getting hot or cold can be crucial timing. Amphetamines, banned since 2006

Landon Donovan unavailable for both games with a left knee injury

This Homer Bailey guy has some talent. I wonder if the Reds would take Jermaine Dye for him.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 9, 2012 -> 04:21 PM) And its a down year blah blah blah. I'm still waiting for that Up year with loaded talent. I think there was way more talent on the board last year, although some players could step up once this season progresses.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 9, 2012 -> 10:15 AM) Top 100 players http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball...top-100-players Hey look, an Illini player!!! Maybe we aren't completely irrelevant. Pretty weak top-10 talent wise.

Of course it happened in Florida, where else?

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Oct 9, 2012 -> 10:13 AM) I thought about putting the Ravens 5th but their victory against KC wasn't that good. The Ravens problem seems to be that they are convinced they are a high-octane passing team, which is limiting the touches of the top-5 RB on their team.

Sandusky gets 30-60 years in prison. While at his age, it will guarantee he never sees freedom, that's still a very light sentence IMO.

Carpenter vs. EJax Lohse vs. Detweiler Wainwright vs. Gio I like the Cards chances of winning two in DC and knocking out the Nats.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Oct 8, 2012 -> 06:22 PM) There is no "character risk" with AJ. Anyway, he'll probably gladly re-sign with the Sox if they make him a decent offer for multiple years - and they should. Some teams think there is and that will affect his FA value without a doubt.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Oct 9, 2012 -> 02:29 AM) Rays are gonna take on salary to get rid of Zobrist? The Rays are not destitute any longer. They have new TV deal money coming to them. The Rays have no hitting. As nice a player as Zobrist is he's wasted in that lineup. He's a glorified role player. The Rays would be acquiring one of the top OFs in MLB last season that would upgrade their lineup in a dynamic way hitting in front of Longoria. They would also obtain a young, cost controlled reliever that picked up 29 saves as a rookie. Those guys are not easy to find. Both impact players for Ben Zobrist. Alex Rios 2012 OPS: .850 Ben Zobrist 2012 OPS: .848 Alex Rios career OPS: .768 Ben Zobrist career OPS: .796 How exactly would that be a major upgrade to their lineup?

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Oct 8, 2012 -> 07:58 PM) Wow, Baltimore... Ichiro... Wow. That was the greatest "slide" I have ever seen in my life

Mike Matheny is not f***ing around, pinch hits for Garcia in the 2nd after 51 pitches.

f*** Sean Jensen‏@seankjensen #Bears rookie WR Alshon Jeffery could miss 4-6 weeks with a fracture in his right hand, according to league source.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 8, 2012 -> 12:54 PM) Rumors of up to 12K seats unsold for tonites monday night game A Jets W would score me some cash in my confidence pool. The more I read about the game, I am now convinced they don't have a chance in hell.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 8, 2012 -> 10:57 AM) HOLY CRAP! http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/b...,0,126406.story More details have come out, wow.
