"Keith Law from ESPN announced his 2009 organizational farm system rankings (ESPN Insider password required) this week, and the minor league system of your Washington Nationals ranked 29th out of 30 MLB franchises, ahead of the Houston Astros."

This has GOT to be posted on some kind of bulletin board @ the Astros front office.

fuck.

It's all scoreboard.

I swear this is the last one about college football for a while.

Can Texas get the 1 loss love for the next decade or so? Oklahoma proved once again that they don't deserve it right now. Stoops, aren't you like 1-7 in your bowl games now? Atleast Mack wins the fucking bowl games he gets.

Can we turn a new page next year regarding the favoritism showed to some teams?
Ohio State? ITS NOT 2002! Stop putting them at the fucking top, they play a weaaaaak fucking conference.
USC? They are pretty good every year but Jesus can they get an easier road to the championship game? WAKE THE FUCK UP PAC-10
Oklahoma, see last night. Go away.
Florida/LSU - I can't bitch too much, the SEC has been pretty good as of late and been taking care of business in the bowl games.

Not going to bitch about Texas, im a homer and they did get partially (PARTIALLY: see Utah) screwed.

Um. Friday. Yea.

One last college thing

I'm guilty of this, but I wish it would stop:

"Team x beat team y, but team z beat team x so automatically z > y."

Even the common opponent argument is crappy to me. No argument will ever be as great as arguing for a team that beat another team on the field of battle, and that is that.

I'm trying to not sound too much like sour grapes, but it will happen none-the-less. Since Texas had a tough time dispatching Ohio State, Florida and Oklahoma both could beat Texas easily - that's an easy and popular statement to make today, but this is far from being justifiable. There has been more than enough evidence show this year to think that Texas could beat any team in the country.

Now, someone make the case for Utah, because you know... that Alabama win.... well... let's just say that 13-0 looks nice.

invisabul air squigglies

Mmmm. Can you smell that shit??? Smells like unjustified optimism to me!

I think I may like waiting on baseball season to start more than when baseball season starts. Only becuase the Astros will most likely fail in a lot of areas this year, and probably years to come. Who cares though? It's always fun thinking about how it *COULD* happen. Geoff Blum as our 3rd baseman? Aaron Boone? No pitchers? Oh well! We don't have to start bitching until April (March if they REALLY suck in spring training).

Looking forward to:
  • Yankees failing with 700 billion dollar payroll
  • The MLB dumpster that is the NL West
  • Astros winning games 16-15

Not looking forward to:
  • Turning on ESPN even though I know its a mistake everytime (if only to try and catch a brief brief brief brief highlight of a walk off homerun, because hey... ESPN doesn't give a fuck about Houston)
  • Astros losing games by 19 runs
  • Hunter pence sucking again
  • Having Miguel Tejada on the team
  • Anyone pitching

Hey D, you wanna try a different kind of blog rivarly for baseball? 2 teams in some other division? I like the idea, because there are teams I like out there but I don't pay very much attention to them... I like the Twins, and I find myself rooting for the Marlins, A's, and Blue Jays alot. Let me know what you think.
