Robertson to the Chi Sox for four years and 40m+. The Yanks didn't really try very hard to keep him. Not sure it's smart to let him just walk away - Krusty Dec 9, 06:56 4

  - I never felt comfortable with him as the closer. I didn't dislike him but he was too much like Wetteland and made me nervous too often. -- nm - Krusty Dec 9, 07:06
- won't matter anyway because they'll never score enough runs to have the lead going into the 8th and 9th. -- nm - Diva Dec 9, 06:59 1
  - Heh. :-) Sadly, that's probably true. The infield is a mess and we just have no one to lean on that can hit the ball consistently. Ellsbury is our - Krusty Dec 9, 07:05

  - it was just really really slow (so full of crap). and she had a link on her desktop to the IE page, but, because everything was so slow - Andie Dec 9, 06:32 5
    - poor thing - I'm glad you got her sorted -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 9, 06:44
    - OMG, old people tech support. "I got a spam email. Do you think I should get a new computer?" - Reagen Dec 9, 06:40 3

  - I don't know how you do it on days like this. - ty97 Dec 9, 06:03 1

NFL Playoffs Update: If the postseason started today - Strongbad Dec 9, 05:52 8

    - True, very true, but the post was about, if the postseason started today... - Flavorize Dec 9, 06:19
- Somehow CIN is 8-4-1 with a -8 point differential, and BAL is 8-5 with a +101 differential. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 05:55 1
  - The answer is the same for both...both teams have played, and destroyed, the NFC South..Baltimore was just WAY better at it. -- nm - Flavorize Dec 9, 06:07
Huh, I'm getting an error saying my team is locked because I've been eliminated from the playoffs. - Will Hunting Dec 9, 05:51 3
- Give it a little bit of time. Sometimes Yahoo is goofy Tuesday mornings. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 05:52 2
  - No, I think it's the league settings. Cavemen is the same. -- nm - Todd Manning Dec 9, 06:04 1
    - If this is a rule, I think it's new. I don't remember this in previous years. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 06:47
