    Tony LaRussa vs Johnny Cueto - What does SPS think?

    You can say 10 times out of 10 times that Rasmus/Jackson/Dotel are the player that that they are. They are the parts of the equation that are going to stay the same no matter what. I would venture a guess that the if you run the permutations on last season the Cards don't win the World Series 10...

    Tony LaRussa vs Johnny Cueto - What does SPS think?

    The question has to be would you rather have control of Ramus for 3 years or would you rather have the package we received from the Blue Jays? On top of that you're setting up a false dilemma.<div></div><div>Rasmus's b-ref WAR is 2.4 halfway through the season him. Double that for 162 games. I...

    Tony LaRussa vs Johnny Cueto - What does SPS think?

    A 4-5 WAR CFer with three years of team control is more valuable than two decent rentals, two supplemental picks, and a reliever. <div> </div><div>I understand trading Rasmus, or Jay, but I don't think that was the best package we could've gotten for a player with loads of talent. Our bargaining...

    Tony LaRussa vs Johnny Cueto - What does SPS think?

    the Cards definitely traded Rolen for Glaus. Rolen was in TLR's permanent doghouse, and there was no way he was getting out. More recently the Cardinals shipped out Colby Rasmus because TLR hated him. The guy has a history of this. But like I said this grudge is more than valid. Cueto fights...

    Tony LaRussa vs Johnny Cueto - What does SPS think?

    This is the guy that ran Scott Rolen along with many other players out of town. He holds a grudge like no other coach I can think of.<div id="isChromeWebToolbarDiv" style="display:none"></div><div> </div><div>My other thoughts include good I'm happy. Cueto can go %*%@ himself for what he did to...

    It appears MC Law School can say this is our state too...

    The grads coming out of OM and MC aren't awful. The legal education is probably the exact same coming out of the schools. The employment outcomes, which is why you're paying for school, out of MC and OM are awful. That is why I said MC and OM are awful. What percentage of your class can get jobs...

    It appears MC Law School can say this is our state too...

    There are like 5 maybe that have transparent statistics about their hirings. Besides average salary is a terrible metric to describe the employment outcomes for a class. If a quarter of the class gets good jobs at 100k, then another quarter gets **** law jobs at 35k, then half of the class gets...

    It appears MC Law School can say this is our state too...

    But the big firms absolutely do care about about where your diploma came from. Like Johnson was saying firms have grade cutoff points from MC that they would be lower for a OM or grade cut offs for an OM that would be waay lower for a Vandy kid. Medium to big firm initial hiring is all about...

    It appears MC Law School can say this is our state too...

    Mississippi College costs around twice as much as Ole Miss. Both of these schools are a bad idea without rich parents to bail you out if you fail to get a job or a full scholarship, and in the case of the latter it's still probably a bad idea. Johnson is completely right.<div...

    Euro 2012 Question

    Tottenham, much like State, are the worst because they give you just enough hope that you feel like crap when the door slams shut. I'm not sure I could have it any other way. Disappointment and sports go hand in hand for me.<div id="isChromeWebToolbarDiv" style="display:none"></div>

    Euro 2012 Question

    Important leagues are in Italy, Germany, Spain, and England. France, Holland, and Portugal also have teams that can compete at the top level from time to time. The best players generally play in these leagues during the prime of their careers. International players from the big nations tend to...
