I still don't see how it's any less arbitrary to exempt the last place team than it is to reward the first place team in the same exact rankings.
I never did understand the logic behind Mack Brown's argument last season. He felt the BCS ranking was not a good enough barometer to determine...

I know it's only May 4 (standard disclaimer applies), but Adam Dunn looks really good. He's a legit MVP candidate if he can keep his average up...
Russ Ortiz has always walked a lot of batters, but he's pushing one per inning thus far in the admittedly young season. His career won't last...
That was 100% tongue-in-cheek. I hate smug statheads as much as anyone else.
You keep jumping back and forth, Mr. Cochrane. I was referring to this season, which was the last thing you mentioned. I'm not arguing they won...
And I've never seen you offer any compelling reason to the contrary, other than you seen it with yur own two eyes.
I've never seen anyone try to say they didn't win those games, but that's a fine strawman argument.
Ah, the 'Mom's Basement' card. Seemingly played less and less in this enlightened day and age, it's still refreshing to see it at a last resort...
I don't understand why people continue to have this misconception. Houston's offense was in the bottom half of the National League in runs scored...
Absolutely correct. Most of the studies done on the impact of stolen bases on scoring runs have found that you need somewhere around a 75%...
This is exactly what I was talking about. Lee would have been up with 2 on, 0 out - instead it's a PH. And it was completely wasted because Byrd...
Cooper continues to be unimpressive, IMO. Why did he remove Lee in the double-switch if he didn't intend to use Valverde for more than an inning?...
The Astros finished 11/16 in runs scored last year and 9/16 in runs allowed last season. Yes, they won 86 games last year, but regardless of how...
Jeez, Davey Johnson is trying to pull a Dusty Baker on Roy O. He threw 65 pitches in the WBC game, and was clearly laboring, but Johnson had...
It wasn't impossible with the NES Advantage, which featured turbo buttons. [IMG]
My family was in DC last May, and we used the Tourmobile to get around. It circles the city, stopping at or within walking distance of most of...
So is Roy willing to give back his NL pennant? The Astros certainly wouldn't have gotten to the World Series without A-Rod's fellow users Clemens...
