Holy shit, Tim Baffoe is awful. That article reaches new levels of "bad", as he would put it (also ripped off from Bernstein.)

Yeah, you wanna play "suck the schlong," with his schlong.

Stop pretending like it's such a big secret.

Oh SomeGuy...

Just when I think our friendship is turning a corner, you disappoint me.

I know. It's hard to keep all 4 planted. You're a tough nut to crack. Nut nut not jew nut.

So did I....and Panther

Bernstein's summary of market analysis was pretty funny.

Boers was pretty much saying there is momentum in baseball and Bernstein was trying to make a Metric out of it

One of the dumber conversations Ive heard from those two on sports


Oh and actual Market Makers and Market Analysts in my building.....wear nametags. (and make more in a good week, than TFM will make in his life....literally)

There were a lot of bad baseball thoughts on the show yesterday.

What Terry was trying to say was, it's great to have a guy like Verlander who you can pretty much count on for a win each time through the rotation. But on the occasions when he does lose, it can be devastating for the team and send them into a real tailspin. And it's a boost for the opposing team. "Hey, we beat Verlander! These other guys should be easy!" Naturally, li'l danny wanted to suck the blood out of things and try to put a number on it and bow to the God of Correlation.

A worse baseball thought was, Theo is doing the right thing, but it's time to turn it off now until they're contending in 2016. I've seen Rizzo and Castro. No need to see anymore. I expect such crap from stupid ass bernstein. But Terry is a real baseball fan and that was just goddamn dumb.

I was providing more evidence to your theory

My bad. I didn't know what you were going for there.

He actually said 2016?

What team in modern baseball...or any sport....is that far away?


Thats ridiculous. It might take a while to make the cubs minor league a lean mean baseball star producing machine....but that doesnt mean you cant do anything until then

St. Laurence here. Can we make a complete Catholic League team?

No, they didn't actually specify a year. But I was offended by bernstein who has championed this "rebuilding" saying he can't watch because they're so terrible. What if everyone felt that way? If you're on board, get on board. It shouldn't be hard to watch great "pieces" like Rizzo and Castro.

Throw Joe, Agrravated Bob and I into the mix and you can have a competition between north and south

I'm trying to think of the Catholic League schools in my time without looking it up:

Gordon
Loyola
Weber
St. Ignatius
St. Rita
St. Laurence
De La Salle
Mendel
Fenwick
Mt. Carmel
Leo
Brother Rice

I think that's all of them. Am I missing any? Then for a few years there was the super Catholic League which added in all the East Suburban Catholic schools. That didn't last very long, did it?

They didn't have a football team. I think they do now, right Dolphin? But they had some good hoops teams. Gaddis Rathel and Art Aaron after he transferred from Quigley North.

Marist

I think Marist was in the East Suburban Catholic with St. Pat's, Joliet Catholic, St. Joe's, Holy Cross, Notre Dame, etc. back when I was in school.

Is Marian in the Chicago Catholic League now? I don't follow it that closely, but I think some might be in for football and others for basketball. Joliet is in the Catholic League now, at least for football, right?

Did Mendel become St. Martin de Porres?

De Sales and Hales were two I missed. I think Mendel did become St. Martin, but wasn't there another school that merged in there too?

What conference is Joliet Catholic in?

do you think the ’92 team breezed through the olympics partially because international basketball was horrible then? #TFMB—@rgallik_10

and…

Here’s the hot question: In a match-up between the 1992 Dream Team and 2012 USA Olympic team, who wins?—@HuskyCaucasian

International hoops weren’t exactly horrible in the early ‘90s. Recall that ‘Merica won only bronze in 1988. By a very hasty count via Wikipedia, there were about 35 foreign-born, non-Canadian (sorry, that’s America, Jr.), non-US citizens that had been on an NBA roster at some point by 1992. Of course, basketball in America was superior, but internationally it wasn’t like putting Cubans in the giant slalom.

The 1992 Dream Team coasted because they were the greatest collection of players put together ever at that time. Opponents really stood no chance. Since then other countries have been able to prepare a little more for their inevitable losses (except for the 2004 group of clowns of whom we shan’t speak) and have added more current and former NCAA and/or professional players. Like the American game, the international game is better now overall than 1992, even though it wasn’t awful then, just way behind the US.

Regarding the 1992 vs. 2012 team debate, thinking that a team of pros from twenty years ago can beat a team of pros from today is a bit ludicrous. The game and athletes have evolved so much since 1992 that there wouldn’t be much of a chance for Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and crew. Nobody on the ’92 team stops Lebron James in any consistent manner, and conversely James likely owns those guys on the defensive end. Nobody on that team keeps up with Russell Westbrook’s motor. John Stockton, Christian Laettner, and Chris Mullen don’t make the 2012 team. Sorry, short shorts enthusiasts.

I know that we love to be nostalgic and hate to admit that the great teams from previous eras probably couldn’t hang today, but it’s just true. The 1985 Chicago Bears would get crushed by the 2012 Jacksonville Jaguars (¡ESCANDALO!). The Dream Team was the best of their time. It’s not their time anymore, and the style and pace (and defensive rules that guys like Jordan and Stockton couldn’t get away with today) of pro basketball have changed. It’s pretty simple.

And did you see the USA/Nigeria game on Thursday? It was like Carmelo and Co. were exacting revenge for every spam e-mail all of us have ever received. At least Nigerians now love me.
