I can do the list for last year.

Iowa State -> Easy, it was our Super Bowl. Talk about dynasty, we have won 7 of the last 10 Super Bowls.

Wisconsin-> We got screwed on that fumble into the endzone. Also 99 times out of 100 Chaney will catch that pass at the end and score.

Indiana-> They got lucky on that fumble recovery for a TD, it was clearly an 18 point swing play.

Penn St.-> It was closer then the score shows. If we had a different O-Cord. we win that game.

Purdue-> Hangover from the Illinois game.

W. Michigan-> Out of Conference out of mind.

Sabathia is just one guy, and probably the worst option. Other guys who will be out there, in order of best option to worst.

Penny
Lowe
Padilla
Blanton
Redding
Harden
Milwood
Estes
Wolf
Bedard
Washburn

Why is Sabathia the worst option?? That is crazy talk.. And there is no way Bedard is traded. The M's gave up Adam Jones and George Sherrill for him.. The front office would look mentally handicapped if they did this.. Just my opinion..

I said probably, but mainly becuse there is no chance at getting him to stay, he hasn't been real consistant, and he really doesn't want traded...

And yes, Bedard will be shopped this year. The M's need to go young now and they realize they made a mistake...

I hadn't thought of Penny and Lowe being shopped around...but it makes a heck of a lot of sense. Does that mean you think Kershaw is in the bigs for good?

They are both Free Agents after this year and Kershaw is the real deal. Both are proven post season big game pitchers and if the Dodgers fall to far back, they will make some moves.
