    a coach who did the right thing - wow

    let's see, you had Holmgren kicking a FG with under 2 minutes left, NO screwing around with 2 point conversions early instead of kicking (so they were tied late insyead of ahead), and I'm sure there were others. but, amazingly, there was a coach who did the right thing late in a game -- Dick...

    Valuist, thanks

    Appreciate your write-ups. I trust you will take a shot at the $1 M through breederscup.com? You can enter there and if you pick all 8 winners, you get that shot! Good luck, and I'll add my $0.02 here where I think it may mean something.

    all of the unders -- this is no surprise

    from baseball prospectus, this is hardly news to anyone who has just been playing under the total this entire post-season: The Daily Prospectus: Whither Runs? by Joe Sheehan One of my friends made an offhand comment to me Wednesday, something about how he thought that evening's game would be...

    tonight's games

    unit clinches for AZ, clemens puts the death grip on Seattle (I expect 6 innings out of him and the lead with the bullpen shutting SEA down for good). both games are tonight -- what channels are they on?

    Maddux minus 200 to 220?

    I was mildly surprised he is that big a favorite, given Lopez's numbers versus Atlanta this year and Maddux's struggles down the stretch (though he obviously pitched better last time out). I am very tempted to take the bait and hop on AZ tonight.

    could Schilling go today?

    I strongly lean to St. Louis today, but I have a bad feeling that AZ could get an early lead and then bring Schilling in, say the 4th or 5th, and let him go from there. Something to worry about?

    another movie review - "Go Tigers"

    In the spirit of Jack's "Training Day" review: It's the high school football version of "Hoop Dreams", following the 1999 Massillon, Ohio high school football team. This high school is one of the national football powers, and it shows the good and the bad of the city's obsession with its high...

    the astros

    Lance Berkman, following the lead of noted playoff chokers Biggio and Bagwell (who actually has had a good series). Can someone answer for me what I was thinking, taking this 100% fail in the clutch Astros team. Good job, Houston, enjoy your early playoff exit once again.

    Home dog at this line

    Anyone: When was the last time at team was a home dog of this much on Monday night? Just something I'd be interested in finding out.

    Nolan's NCAA rant

    Nolan, just wanted to state my strong agreement with you about the NCAA. Though I struggle with justifying stipends for guys who are getting free schooling for which other students pay $10 or $20 or whatever thousand per year for, I think I ultimately stand with you there. Your larger issue...

    For those of us on the Cubs

    Come on, umps, there is no reason to finish this thing. A 2-0 final in 7 innings is perfectly OK :-)

    Dumb a$$ coaches and 2-pt conversions

    The SF-StL game yesterday is a microcosm of coaches not knowing when to go for 2, and when to go for 1. SF scores IN THE 1ST HALF to go up 13-12, and goes for 2? Why? It's the first freakin' half! Kick the extra point so you don't end up having to chase that point the rest of the game! Of...

    MadJack, stepping out

    1380 to win a dime on St. Louis tonight -- good luck with that play, especially! That sure seems to be the side in that game.

    Nolan's comment on gambling books

    In his write-up today, Nolan mentions the first book he thought was ever worth reading / recommending on sports gambling (I'm paraphrasing, but that was the general jist of what he was saying). Has anyone else out there read anything worth recommending? I've read a variety of books, and I...

    More pitch count fun

    Clemens is off his 2nd highest total of the year, but has had 5 days off. Zito, Lieber, and Leiter are also off their highest counts of the year (or near it), having thrown 120+ pitches in their last games -- Lieber may be a particular concern coming off of 4 days rest, and Zito may be a...

    NL unders tonight?

    With rested bullpens, it seems a blind play on every under tonight in the NL might just be in order. Looking more closely at teams' recent hitting form and pitchers' recent form, the only games that REALLY scare me are: Phil-SD -- what do we get from Philly's starter tonight? SF-Cinn -- both...

    Fletcher - ? on the games in Vegas

    I would be very interested to read your thoughts on the high school hoops players you see tonight, tomorrow, etc. I look forward to any stories you have, coaches you see or talk to, etc.

    Pitch count stats

    Is there somewhere convenient where the day's starting pitchers' recent pitch counts are summarized? I hunted around MJ's Resource page but nothing jumped out at me. I know where I can find these stats pitcher by pitcher on CNNSI, but that is a lot more time consuming than I had hoped. Any...

    Wed Eve Plays

    FL/Mont under 9u: Mattes impresses me for Montreal, and last night's weak Expo effort could be a signal of a downturn; Clements' recent efforts concern me somewhat, but his overall numbers versus the Expos make me think he gets it done here; pens in decent form so they should minimize damage...
