That ball that Pujols couldn't cut-off cost them the lead.

I dislike Tebow because of all the hype and I just don't think he'll amount to much in the NFL, we shall see now.

Tony LaRussa made all the right moves last night, Washington didn't. Low scoring games, huge aadvantage for St. Louis because it comes down to manager moves, LaRussa all day over Washington.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 10:21 AM) Well I think you're wrong. Aside from them both being left handed, which is what triggered the initial thought in my mind, neither have good arm strength, both were mobile QBs who weren't particularly fast but had great vision, and both showed an incredible desire to win. The main differences, and they are big, are Young's ability to checkdown (which we really haven't seen from Tebow yet, but we really haven't seen Tebow yet) and their accuracy. QBs who don't have good arm strength won't succeed in Fox's system, thus, Steve Young would not have succeeded in Fox's system. They quite obviously succeed in Chan Gailey's system, so, while he may not have been as good, he would still fit the Bills offensive system. Like I mentioned, Young had years and years of tutelage under one of the greatest QBs of all time as well as an incredible quote. Tebow would have Ryan Fitzpatrick and Chan Gailey. We'll just agree to disagree, Tebow sucks, IMO, like GoSox05 posted, he's a white Vince Young, another college star player who's talents don't translate well in the NFL.Comparing him to an NFL great is a stretch.

^^Great question, one of my fave movies is the Boxer with Daniel-Day Lewis, does it qualify as a sports movie?It's much more about his relationship with an old flame and her son and about the IRA than about boxing.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 17, 2011 -> 12:45 AM) Top 25 Big Lebowski quotes would be amazing. You don't even need any background info from the quote itself, just a clip to the scene of the movie. I quote so many obscure lines from that movie and people still get it immediately. "Oh, and Dude...tomorrow's already the 10th." "Far out." "..." "Ohh, right" This Walter Sobchak is one of the funniest angry characters ever, love this movie, Cohen brothers rock!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 17, 2011 -> 06:51 AM) Ha, just a little. Tebow reminds me so much of Steve Young that it's silly, but Steve Young also got to sit behind Joe Montana and work with one of the greatest football minds of all time, so he had a lot going for him. If the Bills were to acquire him in the offseason - which I think I'd honestly put at 50% right now because I know that Ralph Wilson really likes him, there were reports that the Bills were looking to move up to a similar spot to draft him, Chan Gailey would work an offense around your abilities if you threw it backwards every time, John Elway and John Fox seemingly don't like him, and there is a distinct possibility that both Brandon Lloyd and Eddie Royal end up changing teams in the next 48 hours leaving Tebow with virtually no weapons and, like I mentioned earlier, setting him up for failure to justify a trade to the fan base - it would be with the intention to either have him start in the next 2 seasons. If he flops in Denver, I don't know if he'll be mentally prepared for that. Hopefully he would be, because I do think he could be a great QB in this league. And, even though Fitz isn't exactly Joe Montana, he's still very smart and does a great job attacking defenses as well as he can. Tebow is nowhere near Steve Young like, not even close.

I was asking because I noticed some of the more knowledgable baseball people here at ST would mention that Washington makes a lot of WTF decisions, but yeah, getting to the WS twice in a row means you're doing something right and he shouldn't get fired.

I wonder if coming up short in two WS in a row where Texas should be the favorite again will cost Washington his job. The Cards don't bother me, I have disliked the Rangers since the Doug Rader "winning ugly" and Ryan vs Ventura debacle, plus, I don't want Dubya's team to win it all. Cards bullpen get's greedy, St. Louis in 6.

Anybody believe this Cardinals team can beat Texas? I do. LaRussa>>>>Washington

Greatest KR/PR eva!!!

The pitching has so far sucked this postseason.

Pujols is too good, Cards up 6-4.

Way to s*** the bed, Scherzer...

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Oct 13, 2011 -> 06:45 PM) Fans should be cheering a good-bye, cuz they ain't gonna see another Tiger game in Detoilet until next spring. You might be right but Scherzer and Fister have been pitching well as of late. Both of these teams can go f*** themselves for all I care but I'm rooting for the Tigers to go get pummeled in the WS.

Delmon.Young was a steal for the Tigers, dude has just been huge for Detroit.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 08:47 PM) I'm not even sure why the rest of baseball should field teams anymore http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/colum...,6348490.column That's ok, it'll be funnier when they fail, too much high expectations already, this guy is talking about multiple WS, win the first one you idiots.

Heres hoping Epstein fails miserably, yeah, that's how I roll... f*** the Cubs

Tony LaRussa has his team playing some solid baseball...he may be a dick but the dude is a winner.

I'm late to the party but It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is really a funny ass show. But most of you guys already know that...

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 05:42 PM) Before anyone starts talking about a new league, they are going to need to hire a bunch of attorneys to try and figure out if the players would be in breach of their playing contracts. Im just guessing here, but I cant really imagine a NBA contract not having a clause that explicitly forbids them from playing in a competitive league. But maybe the attorneys are stupid, but if they are smart there is a liquidated damages clause that states that if the player plays in a competitive league while under contract the damages are equal to the players salary. Once again I dont have the contracts, but I really doubt its as easy as finding new investors and starting a league. Or they could go to Europe like Kobe.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 01:57 PM) You guys are ignoring the money involved, not whether TV networks would be interested. At the end of the day, creating an entire new league (which btw, will be set up by SUPERSTAR players for their own benefit...who i'm sure will be 100% in favor of sharing the revenue equally, the % of their own money used to start the league be damned) and all the money and energy and time invested in doing that, to ultimately make less money than the current deal. Why would they do that unless they just want to become investor/owners and probably do the same s*** the current owners are pulling? It's a great idea in theory, and a terrible idea in reality. The players could also try to attract investors, I'm sure there would be intrest from American, European and Asain millionaires wanting to be a part of that... The players have the upper hand, the NBA is a star driven league, no stars=no interest.
