    Kingdom_of_Zito] 4:51 pm: Welcome to the Forums of semi-Competitive
    Banter
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 4:52 pm: I'm your host, Koz. Joining me today... from the
    New York STFU Chronicles, BROWNTOWN
    [bwitty24] 4:52 pm: thank you kingdom, it's a pleasure to be on the forum today
    [bwitty24] 4:52 pm: a bit early there
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 4:52 pm: you guys suck
    [browntown653] 4:53 pm: Glad to be here, despite being interrupted be bwitty
    and lew
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 4:55 pm: Also, from the New York Sun Post Times News,
    DRY1313
    [Dry1313] 4:55 pm: whats up my minions
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 4:55 pm: horrible
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 4:55 pm: From the Daily Whatever It's Called, BWITTY24
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 4:56 pm: who's apparently out to lunch
    [bwitty24] 4:56 pm: ha...thanks, here from boston
    [browntown653] 4:56 pm: lmfao
    [Dry1313] 4:56 pm: boo
    [bwitty24] 4:56 pm: pleasure to be on the show today
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 4:56 pm: And finally, from The Paper, LJSHORTY89
    [ljshorty89] 4:57 pm: nice to be here guys.
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 4:57 pm: Currently scores are brown- 0, dry- -1, bwitty -2,
    shorty- -1
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 4:57 pm: FIRST WORD
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 4:58 pm: For those that were asleep by 9pm, the Atlanta
    Hawks pulled off another upset in game six over the Boston Celtics,
    10-3-100.
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 4:59 pm: Quite possibly, we're heading down the road of
    the biggest upset in NBA history. Is it possible the Atlanta Hawks will win
    game 7, on the road.... LJSHORTY
    [ljshorty89] 4:59 pm: I simply don't see it. The hawks are a good team, and they
    have a lot of impressive youthful players, but especially if Marvin Williams' knee
    sprain causes him to miss game 7, they will not win. I can't even understand how
    you could CONSIDER missing a game 7 in the playoffs
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:00 pm: He did re enter the game late in game six, so
    even if he's playing?
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:01 pm: So ESPN is the Bible now? Really.
    [ljshorty89] 5:01 pm: even if he does play, i think boston will have enough talent
    and desire to defeat the Hawks, but it should be an exciting game.
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:01 pm: Where was this desire in the 3 games they lost,
    DRY1313
    [Dry1313] 5:03 pm: clearly not there...kevin garnett has been good, the three party
    has been working well, but if you've noticed, in the games that they've won the deal
    breaker has been the play of rajon rondo...if he can get it up and get the celtics
    juices going, they should be unstoppable. But keep an eye out for the stellar d of
    josh smith, who is single handedly shutting down some of the most prolific scorers
    in the NBA
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:04 pm: Rondo being the key, even though they have the
    big trio. Why's Kevin Garnett not the deal breaker?
    [Dry1313] 5:06 pm: because they have kept him under control. He hasn't exploded
    in any game yet.It comes back to point guards...look at the West, the hornets, the
    spurs, the jazz, they all have the great fowards and scorers, but it' really up to the
    guards to get things moving and shaking. Garnett can only do so much in a double
    team anyway
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:06 pm: Garnett hasn't seemed to do much in playoffs
    period. What's his deal, BROWNTOWN, why does KG shrink in crunch
    time?
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:06 pm: by the way, shorty got 2 points, dry got 4
    [browntown653] 5:09 pm: KG shrinking in crunch time?...I'm not sure I
    comprehend here. He's averaging more points, assists, and rebounds per
    game in the postseason than in the regular season over his career. The
    fact is, look at the teams he was on! He never had a great supporting cast
    in Minnesota and still managed to take them to one and nearly 2
    conference finals. And he's not taking the big shots with the Celts because
    he hasn't needed to, they've been giving it to Allen and Posey mainly for a
    quick three at
    [browntown653] 5:09 pm: the end of these games
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:10 pm: But KG is the best player on the team. He was
    supposedly an MVP candidate, why's he not being the one, what's
    happening here? I see Kobe and Lebron with the ball in their hands and
    doing it for their teams, but not KG.
    [browntown653] 5:12 pm: because being the best player doesn't mean being
    the best scorer. Kobe and LeBron are clearly the best scorers on their
    respective teams. KG's a great scorer, but do you want him or Pierce or
    Allen taking the last shot?...there's no clear answer. They are all
    legitimate threats to take and hit that last shot. Sure the Lakers have Gasol
    but he hasnt been in many big game big shot situations, and who do the
    Cavs have besides LeBron?
    [Dry1313] 5:12 pm: delonte west
    [bwitty24] 5:12 pm: wally!!
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:12 pm: Lebron plays by himself. BWITTY, if Atlanta had
    drafted Chris Paul, are we even having this conversation?
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:13 pm: -1's
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:13 pm: to bwitty
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:13 pm: Wally?... sigh
    [bwitty24] 5:15 pm: If Atlanta drafted Chris Paul then this would be a different
    conversation most definitely. However, the fact is that the Celtics are 35-6 at
    home and Atlanta is 12-29 on the road. The Celtics ARE GOING TO WIN THIS
    GAME. They play much stronger defense at home and the crowd is most
    definitely going to pump that team up. If the Celtics lose tomorrow I will be very
    surprised. Although Atlanta has played well in the playoffs, they have yet to beat
    the Celtics at home and I believe the story
    [bwitty24] 5:15 pm: will be the same tomorrow.
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:17 pm: So much for talking Chris Paul. Next question
    [bwitty24] 5:17 pm: Also, if I may say something regarding the KG issue. He is a
    different MVP. He has changed that team through his leadership this year.
    Although you may not want him to take the final shot he is the leader of that team.
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:17 pm: No you may not say something. -1
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:18 pm: Troy Tulowitzki recently was injuried fielding a
    ball, the rockies say he's out till at least the allstar game, many feel he's
    gone longer. What's the bigger loss, Troy Tulowitzki or New York having a
    broken Jorge Posada?
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:18 pm: BROWNTOWN
    [browntown653] 5:21 pm: Troy Tulowitzki without a doubt. First of all he's
    probably out longer than Posada. Second of all the Rockies are in a much
    worse position than the Yankees right now...the Yanks are 2.5 back in their
    division and the Rockies are NINE back already in the NL West. Now I
    know Tulo was having a rough season, absolutely brutal but he's too good
    a player to hit under .200 for a full season. the Yankees have a better
    lineup overall and can replace Posada with a pretty effective Jose Molina
    for the
    [browntown653] 5:21 pm: time being
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:22 pm: Seems like both have their share of problems,
    yankees keep losing players to injury and rockies keep demoting people...
    not a good time to be a fan of either. So, do you agree Tulo is a bigger
    loss, BWITTY
    [bwitty24] 5:25 pm: I do agree with what Browntown said. Before the season there
    were rumors going around that Tulo would have an MVP season this year.
    Although there are still good players on that team such as Holliday, Helton, and
    Atkins, Tulo's injury is still a major hit to that team. Posada is a good player, but I
    don't see him performing the same way he did last year. He is getting old right
    now and I don't think he is as valuable to the Yankees. Plus, Posada shouldn't be
    out too long as he doesn't even
    [bwitty24] 5:25 pm: need surgery
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:27 pm: So the rockies replace Tulo with Clint Barmes,
    the yankees have Jose Molina, the... "that other Molina", does that worry
    you DRY1313
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:31 pm: Well said
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:31 pm: +5
    [bwitty24] 5:31 pm: they seemed to be pitching great with posada behind the plate
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:32 pm: SHORTY, I'm wondering though, who had more
    hype for this season.. yankees or rockies? One coming off a world series,
    the other being the Empire..
    [ljshorty89] 5:34 pm: I think its clear that the Rockies had more hype. The
    yankees had the same coverage they always get, but websters defines hype as
    to create interest in by flamboyant or dramatic methods. The rockies had the
    hype on their side. They have not lived up to it, and I honestly didn't think they
    would. The Yankees have a history of stinking it up in April, so they will very likely
    recover and right the ship. I think this injury is a huge loss to the Rockies, but if
    the other teams in the NL....
    [ljshorty89] 5:34 pm: ...West continue to stumble, they'll be competitive as well
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:36 pm: Some say they were lucky to be in the world
    series, lucky to even make the playoffs. Aren't the yankees the definition of
    drama?
    [ljshorty89] 5:37 pm: I wouldn't quite say drama. The yankees are the definition of
    rebounding from adversity. Drama is the definintion of what happened for Colorado
    last year. I think the Yankees will be fine, assuming A-rod and Posada's injuries
    aren't worse than they are letting on.
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:38 pm: Sounds like you've jumped from the mets to the
    yankees ship.
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:38 pm: End of round
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:39 pm: BUY...OR SELL...
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:39 pm: Currently Dry1313 is in front, with 8
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:39 pm: Brownie behind with 5
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:39 pm: LJ and Bwitty bringing up the rear with 2
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:40 pm: The Colts' Marvin Harrison appears to be caught
    up in a shooting near his Car Wash. The gun used seems to belong to
    him. Buy or Sell the colts distancing themselves from Harrison... SHORTY
    [ljshorty89] 5:42 pm: Well, first off the shooting occurred outside of a club he
    owned. He did admit to owning the type of gun, but denies his involvement. I think
    that the Colts will stand by him for a while, unless some hard evidence comes
    through, because that organization is one that actually holds some regard for
    loyalty. Marvin has been there for that organization from the darker days through
    the super bowl win, and has been a leader. If they are smart, they will stand by
    him for the time being.
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:42 pm: sounds like a sell, what are you doing DRY1313
    [Dry1313] 5:45 pm: totally buying. Marvin is past his glory days, and while we all
    agree he has put in his time for the Colts the last thing anyone wants is a gun
    controversy or any player mishaps with Fuhrer Goddell in office. Unless he is
    cleared, look for the Colts to start the process this year, and watch for the signing
    bonus cut after he fails to produce because of injury or off the field issues next
    year. There are too many good recievers on that roster vieing for time. Anthony
    Gonzalez won't be held off
    [Dry1313] 5:45 pm: for much longer
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:46 pm: Bold. Browntown, what say you?
    [browntown653] 5:49 pm: SELL, of course theyre not going to distance
    themselves from one of the 10 best WRs in history. Of course its not right
    that hes involved in a gun shooting, but there has been nothing that says
    he fired the gun. Bottom line is Harrison's been a class act and loyal to the
    Colts his whole career, and now because of one incident that we don't
    know how deeply involved he was we're going to cut ties with him? Of
    course not, and whether or not he's "past his glory days" he's still one of
    the most
    [browntown653] 5:49 pm: productive WRS in the league when healthy. of
    course theyre not going to distance themselves from him
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:49 pm: Bloody good times. Buying or selling, BWITTY
    [bwitty24] 5:52 pm: I am selling this one bigtime. There is no reason for the Colts
    to abandon ship on Harrison. He is innocent until proven guilty and he should be
    treated like that. Harrison has been in the league for many years and has never
    had something like this come up. It is a little suspicious that it was his gun and
    that he did get into an altercation with the victim just before the shooting, but I
    think the Colts need to take their time on this one. Harrison has given so much to
    the Colts. The
    [bwitty24] 5:52 pm: least they could do is to stand by him until he is proven guily
    (if that is the case).
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:54 pm: On a scale between 1 and 10, how surprised are
    you by this?
    [bwitty24] 5:55 pm: I would have to say that I am very surprised by the whole thing,
    9. As I said, nothing like this has come up throughout his entire career. It is a
    little odd that something would come up now.
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:55 pm: Very well.
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:56 pm: End of this round
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:56 pm: Our first cut
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:56 pm: Won't be the leader, Dry.. who has 11.
    Browntown is second with 7 and LJ follows with 6. Bwitty, the low man
    with 4.
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:56 pm: Seeya Bwitty
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:57 pm: Be sure to spread the good word that Wally still
    plays basketball
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:57 pm: OUT OF BOUNDS...
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:58 pm: (you guys can pre plan answers on this one)
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 5:59 pm: I'm in an OOTP league. I have a 27 year old
    pitcher, lefty, throws 98-100mph, has four good pitches, and is 10-10-10. I'm
    offered a 27 year old hitter with 10's across the board, with 10 speed.
    Which guy am I building around? .....BROWNTOWN
    [browntown653] 6:02 pm: you absolutely have to build around the
    pitcher...what's the one thing EVERYONE wants in OOTP, good young
    pitching. everyone and their mother is looking for good young pitching
    and there's so little of it. sure a 10s hitter is great but you can build a team
    around other high contact, power, or eye hitters...a 10-10-10 pitcher
    practically guarantees your team a win 80% of the time
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 6:04 pm: Do you agree SHORTY?
    There's no way to disagree. A hitter like that is nice. But
    you can make a lineup of a couple high contact high speed hitters and a few big
    power hitters. In the starting rotation, if you can add a 10-10-10 guy, then you
    automatically move a rotation that may have been average to what is now
    outstanding. Yes, he will only pitch once every 4-5 days, but he has a bigger
    impact. Additionally, few hitters have any incredibly unreasonable years, whereas
    pitchers tend to dominate more easily....
    [ljshorty89] 6:05 pm: ....hence Joba Chamberlain in SBSL
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 6:06 pm: Joba had to be mentioned in this episode
    somehow obviously, DRY, what's your take?
    [Dry1313] 6:07 pm: They’re right, it HAS to be the pitcher. I mean, look at it this
    way; there are routinely teams in the playoffs with poor hitting at the bottom of the
    order. But even just the one pitcher, the Wayne Hage or the Bill Hamburg always
    seems to vault teams into the playoffs that much faster. Plus, if you do end up with
    that pitcher, it always seems teams are dealing away high priced All Star hitters
    (Milo Kotter, Tim LaChance) for a few good prospects, but one always has to
    mortgage their farm for
    [Dry1313] 6:07 pm: that Ace (Mike McCullough). You want to be adding role
    players down the stretch to win, not picking up the integral pieces that lead to a
    championship. Discovering how stars produce in the playoffs is the first step, then
    afterwards you add the role players that always seem to get that clutch hit…the
    guys mission has a monopoly on.
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 6:08 pm: So even if this hitter is in the top five on just
    about every statistical category, the pitcher is still the way to go?
    [Dry1313] 6:09 pm: If it's like a Wayne Hage yes...I mean obviously gradations
    matter, you don't want to hold onto a Lance Uppercut if you're getting offered the
    monster SS on the Dodgers or Corky Miller, but if they're even, it's always got to
    be pitching.
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 6:10 pm: Better to have the Cy Young than the MVP,
    SHORTY?
    [ljshorty89] 6:11 pm: in the case of OOTP, yes. Because that one dominant
    pitcher can be the difference between last place and the playoffs (and trust me, i'm
    always the one in last, lacking a dominant pitcher)
    Kingdom_of_Zito] 6:12 pm: So, BROWNTOWN, you still taking that 10-10-10
    pitcher over the 10 hitter.. if you played at Coors or Arlington?
    [browntown653] 6:14 pm: yes, it doesnt change. Sure a 10-10-10 pitcher's stats
    will be inflated at Arlington, but other non 10-10-10 hitters will have their stats
    inflated at Coors or Arlington. The key there is the movement. If I'm playing at
    Coors or Arlington, the first thing I'm looking for is HIGH MOVEMENT because of
    the fly ball HR tendencies of the parks.
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 6:14 pm: Clever
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 6:14 pm: Cut time
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 6:14 pm: Dry's looking safe with 16
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 6:15 pm: but shorty managed to close in on brown and
    ...well, he still came up short with 9. Brown finished with 11. Sorry
    SHORTY, any last words?
    [ljshorty89] 6:15 pm: thanks for the opportunity, watch out next time, I'mma pick it
    up
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 6:18 pm: Arizona was recently ranked first in ESPN.com's
    power rankings. Is Arizona going to be the world series favorite? ....let's
    start with DRY
    [Dry1313] 6:20 pm: No, no no....I hate to go against what ESPN says...but
    seriously, let's look at this objectively. The AL has dominated the World Series as
    of late, simply because the pitching has caught up. Yes, Webb and Haren are
    filthy, but there are great tandems all over the AL (Indians, Tigers, Red Sox) not to
    mention no way their torrid hitting keeps up. No way Justin Upton finishes with 40
    homers, no way Mark Reynolds is at the top of the league in RBI...and most
    importantly, does anyone trust thier
    [Dry1313] 6:21 pm: bullpen? I mean, Brandon Lyon is their closer!
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 6:21 pm: Brown?
    [browntown653] 6:24 pm: Arizona IS the World Series favorite right now and will
    be. And does it help that the AL is so much more dominant than the NL?...of
    course! Arizona will have a much easier road to the Series, and a 1-2 punch of
    Webb and Haren would dominate in either league. And if you're talking about the
    same Brandon Lyon with a 2.57 ERA then yes, he is there closer now, but Chad
    Qualls has a ZERO ERA in 15.2 innings and will be the closer by the end of the
    year.
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 6:24 pm: I love statistics. Point to brown
    Marshall: MILSWANCAs?
    Ted
    : Wait, I can get this. Mothers I'd like to sleep with and never call again.
    Barney: Circle gets the square!

    Re: Episode 1 of the Return of S3F's Around the Horn!

    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 6:25 pm: Lou Pinella told reporters that Kerry Wood is still
    his closer. Meanwhile, Carlos Marmol is putting the fear of God into
    hitters. If you're Lou, who's your closer out of the cubs pen?
    [Kingdom_of_Zito] 6:26 pm: ...BROWN
    [browntown653] 6:28 pm: Marmol EASILY, there is absolutely no question here.
    You like statistics?...Marmol has a 1.42 ERA and 27 Ks in 19 innings, and 12
    baserunners. This guy should be one of the best closers in the league and
    KERRY WOOD is taking his spot? no way
    [giantsfan5689] 6:29 pm: Stats, very nice, i like stats, especially as new
    moderator
    [giantsfan5689] 6:29 pm: Dry??
    [Dry1313] 6:31 pm: Wood's blown three saves and given up 8 ER in 15.0
    IP...terrible numbers. Marmol's had a sub 2.00 ERA the past two seasons and his
    pitches have bite. Wood has had relatively nothing except for his straight fastball
    since the debacle of the Bartman year. Would I say it's right for Kerry to be
    closing? No. But saying that Marmol can hold his own under the pressure of
    closing in Chicago every night might be too much too. If there's one thing we've
    seen it's that coddling young pitchers is stupid,
    [Dry1313] 6:32 pm: and so it's obvious Marmol has to be the choice in a tight
    division race.
    [giantsfan5689] 6:32 pm: You seem like you're a bit wishy-washy there, you
    can't give ideas for both sides. Point Brown
    [giantsfan5689] 6:33 pm: Third question coming up
    [Dry1313] 6:33 pm: There's no need, he won
    [Dry1313] 6:33 pm: showdown's best two of three...
    [giantsfan5689] 6:33 pm: I'm making the executive decision, the last question is
    fo rthe win
    [browntown653] 6:33 pm: well sometimes they take away 2 points haha
    [Dry1313] 6:33 pm: ok man...
    [browntown653] 6:33 pm: wait I got the first 2 the last one shouldnt be for the win
    haha
    [Dry1313] 6:34 pm: I won the first three rounds the last one shouldn't be for the win
    [giantsfan5689] 6:35 pm: The Atlanta Falcons decided to take Matt Ryan with
    the 3rd pick in this year's NFL draft. The Falcons clearly want to distance
    themselves from Michael Vick, but this year's quarterback pool was pretty
    sub-par. Did the Falcons make the right move in taking their franchise in a new
    direction, or should they not have taken the top quarterback in a pretty bad QB
    class? DRY, save yourself
    [Dry1313] 6:38 pm: I disagreed with them taking Matt Ryan, if for the sole reason
    that their line is putrid. As we saw with David Carr and are bound to see with Joe
    Flacco also, taking a QB who has no line is stupid. The key to success in football
    is line play, and considering that, it's obvious they should have taken the line
    anchor in Glen Dorsey. QBs have a higher tendency of failing than any other
    position in the draft, and that's why it's stupid to take any QB that high. A team
    with that many issues should
    [giantsfan5689] 6:38 pm: Brown?
    [Dry1313] 6:38 pm: concentrate on defense and bolstering the offensive line, and
    that's why the decision to take Matt Ryan was very stupid.
    [giantsfan5689] 6:38 pm: you have a very good point
    [giantsfan5689] 6:39 pm: Brown, you're up
    [browntown653] 6:40 pm: Cant believe I'm about to do this, but I agree with you
    COMPLETELY. Matt Ryan is certainly a nice player but is he good enough to be
    the #3 pick?...I dont think so. I don't want my franchise quarterback at the #3 pick
    to have average arm strength and have thrown NINETEEN interceptions in his
    senior year. I always maintained that Dorsey was the best player from the end of
    the college season and I don't understand why that perception seemed to change.
    Dorsey is a physical MONSTER and would be
    [browntown653] 6:40 pm: the anchor of that defense for years to come.
    [giantsfan5689] 6:41 pm: I'm gonna give the point to Brown since Dry said Glen
    Dorsey was an offensive lineman
    [Dry1313] 6:42 pm: WHAT
    [Dry1313] 6:42 pm: where did I say that
    [browntown653] 6:42 pm: he didnt say that haha
    [Dry1313] 6:42 pm: lmao
    [giantsfan5689] 6:42 pm: looks like yout did. I guess you didn't outright, but
    you talked about how Carr got sacked too much, and then said "they should have
    taken the line anchor Glen Dorsey"
    [browntown653] 6:43 pm: I need Face Time
    [Dry1313] 6:43 pm: i made a case for why drafting ryan was stupid and presented
    an alternative
    [Dry1313] 6:43 pm: i need a bow out and he needs face time
    [giantsfan5689] 6:43 pm: I know, it's hard typing it too
    [giantsfan5689] 6:43 pm: it's easier when you're talking face to face to argue
    this stuff
    [giantsfan5689] 6:44 pm: Anyways, give us your 15 seconds of fame Brown,
    you won
    [Dry1313] 6:44 pm: what
    [Dry1313] 6:44 pm: wheres my bow out
    [giantsfan5689] 6:44 pm: oops
    [giantsfan5689] 6:44 pm: right
    [giantsfan5689] 6:44 pm: go for it
    [Dry1313] 6:45 pm: congrats to brownie, I got robbed by stats and shenanigans,
    time to stumble around campus drunk complaining to strangers how I should have
    won...adieu
    [giantsfan5689] 6:45 pm: peace out Dry, enjoy that haha say hi to amanda
    for me
    [Dry1313] 6:46 pm: ow ow
    [browntown653] 6:46 pm: I just wanna say congratulations to BIG BROWN for
    winning the Kentucky Derby. Not only because he is my namesake, but because
    he a) had only ran in 3 races beforehand and b) started from the farthest pole
    position outside. Now I know this doesnt mean much to anyone because its
    horse racing but I will be PULLING FOR MY NAMESAKE ALL THE WAY. What
    can Brown do for you
    [browntown653] 6:46 pm: good work Dry
    [giantsfan5689] 6:47 pm: Nice job everyone. Sorry I couldn't make it to this one

    For the record, as someone who's seen Marmol as a starter, reliever, and even closing a game. He's right where he should be. Keep in mind it was Marmol who blew the Cubs 1st playoff game against the Diamondbacks. He's also had a few mishaps here and there. Wood's pitches have plenty of movement, and he's had some tough luck. Not to mention his last blown save was on Soriano and Fukudome. If they catch the routine fly balls, no runs score and Wood has one less blown save.

    I know. One vote? Is it that hard to read something and pick a contestant?

    I was tempted to, just to be different. But I mean, when you're given a 10-10-10 pitcher, you take him. period.

    I concurred about Marmol.

    I view him as Joba-like

    Yeah well, Americans have trouble reading more than a small ESPN.com-like paragraph.


    Anywhootles, we're going to make changes to make it go faster and help out future panelists. Hopefully Brown and Dry will return for the next episode, I'm sensing a Jay Mariotti/JA Adande like dominance brewing.
