(as you said those are our deep balls!!)

!!

We'd throw the 12 yarders, but as you said...our receivers aren't fast enough to get open deep.

Catching the ball has nothing to do with it.

This big to do about the Angels and Marlins, I think everyone missed the Tribe signing Tom Pagnozzi.

horseofcourse · #**1823** 12-09-2011, 08:58 AM

OH wait I got that mixed up...Tom Pagnozzi is a washed up retired backup catcher, they signed his nephew a backup catcher who is also likely washed up!!

I wish you wouldn't do that---ya had me excited there for a minute.

horseofcourse · #**1825** 12-09-2011, 03:09 PM

I always get in bad trouble on other threads!! Browns put Colt back in game with concussion. It appeared obvious at the time, oh well. I think Mr Rodgers has some issues.

Garko's coming back this year.

...no, I just made that up! I wonder if obaldo's healthy?

horseofcourse · #**1827** 12-09-2011, 04:37 PM

HIllis....10 carries 25 yards
Hardesty....11 carries 24 yards
Ogbonnaya...2 carries 31 yards

Now that the hilarious H's are back--the carry distribution looks to be to Mr Rodgers' satisfaction I'd say!! It's gonna be real effective.

horseofcourse · #**1828** 12-09-2011, 04:55 PM

back 1...101 carries, 346 yards 3.4 yards per carry
back 2....86 carries, 268 yards 3.1 yards per carry
back 3....73 carries, 334 yards 4.6 yards per carry

It's clear the guy with the least carries is proper choice by coaches.

I think Mr. Rogers is the one needing his head examined.

What are we gonna do Sunday night and Monday this week with all the making fun of Mr Rodgers completed by Friday?? I feel like a timely efficiency expert now. I must say, I think they should do this starting NBA in late December 60 game schedule thing all the time...can sustain focus on the two stenches of football and basketball and have no overlap, and with no playoffs, very little overlap with baseball. The efficiency theme is 3 sports wide in Cleveland this year.

horseofcourse · #**1832** 12-10-2011, 10:09 AM

I read Sizeless suffered a minor MCL tear taking a dump yesterday.

(wha'ts funny is you have to think for a second if this just might be true!)

Well, at least losing consecutively beats losing concurrently...I guess.

Before you came back and added the parenthetical....I had to wonder.Did you know they are going to give Brantley 1st base time this spring? They are. Does it make the slightest bit of sense? So you can see why I had to think about the truth of your comment.

I guess I was silly to think they'd just stick their best or 2nd best offensive player there and be done with it. I guess they enjoy the worst defensive catcher in baseball and decided he'd fit best there. Weird. That's weird about Brantley, he's the last guy I'd stick at first base. If there is one thing I am sure about on that team it is making Santana a full time first baseman and being done with it. They're prepping us for an oncoming disaster I think.

clyde · #**1836** 12-10-2011, 06:39 PM

I can't believe it either.

Nothing like negating speed.The Indians have a knack for turning gold into Euros.

Really love Santana behind the plate.

I know the opposing teams do too.

What, make Santana full time 1st base and lose all that offense and magic glove provided by LaStarboarda??

What's wrong with you?

Mount Union improved to 167-6 overall since 2000. Since 1990, the Purple Raiders are 163-1 when winning the turnover margin. Playing for another championship this year. winner of Wisconsin Whitewater/St Thomas game.

horseofcourse · #**1838** 12-10-2011, 07:59 PM

Whitewater shut them out...7th straight year these two play for it all. This is the rubber match. How close are Mount Union and WIsconsin Whitewater?? total points in the 6 straight championship games...Mount Union 171, Wisconsin Whitewater 170.

clyde · #**1839** 12-10-2011, 11:13 PM

Wow.

Amazing.

What joy t would bring me to beat Swissconsin twice this year in fb.Quite a remarkable record, though.You know these guys wash their own uniforms? I don't think they get sports scholarships either, although I am not positive.

I know you won't believe this, but that Larry Kehres..the MU coach.He was a Southeast Pirate and I was a Crestwood Red Devil...played against him.He was a qb then.

geaux purpley raidahs!!!!

That's pretty cool. My famous athletic encounter was playing junior high basketball against Chris Spielman. Unfortunately I was unable to progress beyond freshman ball and had no more professional encounters. No athletic scholarships in Div 3....Mount is pretty high caliber...Pierre Garcon did make the big time though, the indy wideout.
