nope not big Mac, hint: He does play for the Cardnials though

[Incandenza]

Rolen then, perhaps.... (I can't imagine that it was edmonds)

[Nephilim]

nope, he isn't even the third fastest to do it (Bill Schroder-Brewers-82 games) this is a good question apparently

and Ryan has a nice swing and batting stance, if we can get him to be a good fielder we'll have it made

wtf does this mean, does he stick his ass out in a sexy pose? and his defense is fine compared to the holes in his swing i've seen....and should i take it from your answer that eddie matthews is 4th?

[Cheesemore]

It's not rolen or Edmonds (can't be much left here people)
and to tell you the truth I don't know if Matthew's is 4th, I only know the 3 fastest, and as for the batting stance, I don't know what I was saying there

[Nephilim]

oh damn, can't believe we didn't think of this, gotta be pujols.....

[Incandenza]

Gotta love ole' Poo Holes.

[spurgistan]

Gotta be Fat Albert.
This message was to say that Fenway Park isn't named for anything -rather odd, given what the current ownership is willing to charge their fans)

Cubs fans: I forget, is Wrigley Field named for Jim Wrigley, or the gum?

[Cheesemore]

oh damn, can't believe we didn't think of this, gotta be pujols.....

Correct, Albert did it in ...50 games (Braun was close to the record)
Your up Nephilim

[Nephilim]

ok in honor of college football opening night.....

there have now been 9 BCS champions.....unbelievable but true, this year we will have the tenth champion already under this system.....

i realize it may be a bit ironic to honor college football by asking a BCS question but......

name 6 of the 9 champions so far......is 6 too many?

bonus for pointing out which conference is smoking all the others.....

[Incandenza]

2130.

[Incandenza]

New question:
Name the school that holds the record for longest losing streak in Division One football history. Bonus: the number of consecutive losses

Hint: it's a I-AA school

I know, I that's why I put Miami is now in ACC

Anyway, the question is
Everyone by now has heard about the 30-3 thrashing of Texas over Balitmore, in that game Texas had 29 hits, the second most since the Modern era, Which team had the most hits in a game, and what year did they do it?

[Cheesemore]

Geez, no guesses? alright a hint, they did it in 1992, and they haven't had a winning season since that year

[Nephilim]

Geez, no guesses? alright a hint, they did it in 1992, and they haven't had a winning season since that year

hmmm, sounds like the pirates.....my braves crushed their dreams that year and they've never been the same....

[Cheesemore]

nope, but you're in the right division

[Gold Knight]

Ill go with the Brew crew, although it looks like they might break that streak this season.

[Cheesemore]

correct, they had 32 hits in a game, you're up Gold Knight

[Gold Knight]

Milwaukee was the only team in that division that has constantly sucked

Q: College Football - Three Champions with colors in their nicknames have won titles. Name them.
