I am not fooled by anything. We just had a 6-5 homestand with the dregs of the AL. Seattle, KC and Oakland. We showed we're even steven with them pretty much. There is no longer anyone on the team above a .280 average. (oh wait, I take that back...Hafner, .281. No one on the team with an above .281 average!)

Too many wounds that won't heal.Though they've given a valiant effort,5.5 to make up with only 28 to go is really much too much.

It's catchy,even if it's in another form.....3 more Ohio State players will sit the first game.2 are starters.They tried to make some money.

You can't do that.

That's only for coaches and administrators and hangers one.

The game ,in recognition of all this noise, is a sell out.

college football is a complete cariacature of itself. Ohio State just happened to win the NCAA roulette game this time. Only Nick Saban and Urban Meyer are above board and clean! They do/did it the right way.

thank God Herbstreit is on EVPN to sort it all out for everyone and highly educate us. What a clown car that guy rides.

Just once, I'd like to see EVPN do a two hour special on the problems of college athletics and see Lou Holtz, Mark may, and Herbstreit sitting their and open with "we are the problem with college athletics", and then have 1 hour 59 minutes and 55 seconds of empty screen and that would be a great show. AS it was ramping up it was nice, EVPN would televise some extra games. Dating myself but when I was a kid you had the same 15 games on ABC every year...OSU/Michigan, Oklahoma/Nebraska, USC/UCLa, USC/Notre Dame, Penn State/Pitt, Auburn/Alabama and a few out of conference big matchups and that was it. You could count the number of times you saw Washington play in between the Sonny Sixkiller/Warrren Moon eras on your fist (http://i.cdn.turner.com/sivault/si_o...1004_large.jpg). You saw more of Steve Prefontaine's hair on TV than Oregon Duck football. Oregon football is now perhaps the most corrupt of all. Living in Idaho, the blue turf people seems like the meek rising and all that cool story crap, but stuff is now starting to come out about those guys and that program slowly but surely, Oh my God! With EVPN televising games every single day of the week but Monday, I will likely have the opportunity to see NOrthern Illinois or Southern Miss more this year than I saw of Oregon combined for 25 years.

Wait, Digger Phelps got a new high liter....uh oh. Where's Jay Bilas on that scoop?

clyde · #**1507** 09-02-2011, 10:44 AM

snort!!!!

That was mighty fine work...and so true.

Don't feel bad about dating yourself; I took me out last Saturday night,found out I'm not that much fun.

Anyways,it is out of control especially with that network.Beyond other things, it's so over hyped I can't understand why it hasn't eaten itself.They have taken the fun out of it.

Soon,cfb will have only 3 conferences...maybe just two.There will be at least 25 teams in each conference and they'll have 4 divisions and a play off at regular season's end....probably involving 20 teams.That's the 4 division winners and 16 wild cards.Then ,in a very complicated system,they will select conference pre and post season champs,some division winners and select wild cards to play in the Globalist BCS.The selection process for the bowls will be tv'd on a pay per view basis and will be 36 hours long.

In response to Trevor Crowe asking what there was to do in Columbus, Chris Perez simply suggested he "get tattoos."

Gold.

(he doesn't always close well, but he's very funny!!)

clyde · #**1509** 09-02-2011, 07:51 PM

I have always said...if you can't do your job properly,at least be funny.

That's why I like all politicians.

horseofcourse · #**1510** 09-02-2011, 09:11 PM

Asdrubal Cabrera hits a two run homer in the top of the 3rd, leaves the game with an injury in the bottom of the 3rd. Very nice. Maybe we'll get even more Valbuena now!! (but first of course, more Dopey Phelps!)

clyde · #**1511** 09-02-2011, 09:49 PM

Has been by bunches our best every day player.They're probably saying it's a minor boo-boo...and Monday he will undergo reconstructive body surgery and be put on the 720 day DL.

clyde · #**1512** 09-02-2011, 09:50 PM

Oh...the ''V" word.

I was hoping you would no longer use it.

More good news. Tommy John surgery for Carrasco!! Thank God we have Pomeranz and White since we lost this guy til 2013.

Holy Mother of GOD!!

horseofcourse · #**1515** 09-02-2011, 11:13 PM

I love America's team. I've never seen an injury parade like this in my lifetime and they just keep on going and recovering from what looks like the definite end, time after time. Fuc< U I have to admit was a very nice pickup especially with the Brantley season ender and the Chew again injury. He's hit quite well and is at least a journeyman MLB player who made it the end for Urns. The bullpen has been just great those 5 guys. They've all had slumps but seem to recover and start going great again.

clyde · #**1516** 09-02-2011, 11:28 PM

Would have to agree and without sounding like a complete sap, as much as we make fun of them; they just keep hanging in there and given what it is...keeping things in their place on the food chain,etc....I have to say I'm proud of the warriors.

clyde · #**1517** 09-05-2011, 01:33 PM

Know what I think ,Coursey?

Change of heart...I feel a Field of Dreams may be at play.The Tribe sweeps Detroit.Masterson throws his best game and a tiring Verlander gets hit for 7 big ones in the 7th, including 4 home runs.

Newly signed Randy Moss hits a grand slam in the 8th.

They make me sick.

Not me, they're just not as good as Detroit...simple as that. Obaldo pitched ok again...3 straight now. Stinking Victor. I remember him!! That Fister was a great deadline pickup for them and I think I reported it first (at least I said a better pickup starting pitcher than Obaldo and as good as Obaldo was today, fister was better)!! They can do some damage to the Red Sox or Yankees whichever one they play first round (they can go 3 deep in their rotation now instead of 2). They better.

I have no clue what kind of clown show the Browns will be this year, good or bad.

clyde · #**1520** 09-05-2011, 10:44 PM

I really joke around a lot more than am serious,but you're are right..Detroit is much a better team at this point.

And you did say that about Fister,,you were right.

Gee, the Browns are rebuilding.

So strange.

At least there's Ohio State...what's left of them.
