Yea I was just a cocky fan who was excited about the Tigers making it back to the World Series. But congrats to the Giants. I hope we can get a rematch next year, hopefully with a different result.

I'm feeling a little better about your prediction than mine at the moment. However, I am going to wait to see if the Niner offense is that improved or if the Packer defense is that bad. In the second half, Smith didn't make any big throws when he could of iced the game and that worries me as far as playoffs go.
However I saw way more positives than negatives. If I were to change my predictions today I would probably say 12-4 or 11-5 because the Jets game looks a lot harder than I originally thought.

You have no idea about baseball statistics. Batting average is an irrelevant statistic. OPS is a far better way to discover a good hitter. Plus ERA is also falty stat. Cueto's ERA is going to soar, trust me, he is just a lucky pitcher. You have no idea when it comes to baseball statistics. You think BA is important and that using ERA is a good way to determine a pitcher over a short period of time...jokes on you.

I actually read that article on Gore as well. Simply incredible! That all without giving even an ounce of consideration to everything he has been through physically. The man is a beast on so many levels.

Keep up the quality comments Matthew (both on my articles and page). Nothing better than someone adding valuable and constructive facts to the conversation.
Matthew does not have any awards.
No worries I just have a problem with "guarantees" in sports cause in reality there aren't any. As a Tiger fan it must be tough but Detroit has a solid team and will have more opportunities to make the World Series in the years to come.

Where are you Caleb? giants up 3-0. I thought the Tigers were guaranteed to win. I think your nostradamus prediction might be off. :P

So when are you going to admit you were wrong about the Giants? :P

Nice insult Mr. Hale. Next time you get the urge to attack me you can choose to keep your mouth shut...or not. Its your choice either way but using shaming tactics is a foolish and childish method of countering an argument. We can debate on the "49er revenge article" by matt miller if you decide to use reasoned discourse. I left comments on what you said. Should be a good game tomorrow.

A conservative and cautious assessment but also a valid and logical one. The 49ers improved quite a bit in redzone td scoring (albeit a small sample size) and even better alex smith distributed the ball fairly evenly to his WRs and threw to his wide receiving core 75 percent of the time (a good sign of things to come...the more weapons the better and the ability to finally get the ball to wide receivers will keep opposing defenses on their toes). The TE position (see VD) is no longer the only position with talent when it comes to receiving (I am quite happy about that). Despite all this the one part the O still needs to improve on is the 3rd down conversion rate (a dismal 2 for 9). Just increasing that rate from 2-9 to 3-9 will be a marked improvement. If they keep up their TD red zone scoring and improve there 3rd down conversion rate by just an extra 6 to 10 percent (very doable) the 49ers will be the class of the NFL.
11-5 to 12-4 is a good evaluation based on what I saw. I'm guessing the niners will go 12-4 or possibly 13-3. The NY jets don't worry me too much unless its one of those letdown games. The bills CBs made sanchez look like a pro bowler and fitz was horrendous (nearly any team could have beaten the bills soundly with their performance). Buffalos CBs are not that good trust me (they looked like pop warner cornerbacks trying to cover grown men...terrible in both press coverage and zone).

Hi david. Do you still believe the 49ers are only going 10-6? Defense held the packer offense to only 2 touchdowns all day (can't count that packer punt return td on the SF defense...they really dominated the GB offense), an improved wr core, a good running back tandem in kendall hunter and frank gore...and they did it at lambeau (one of the toughest places to play in the nfl). Based on what I saw the 49ers are arguably the most balanced team in the league. I'm just wondering if you changed your mind on your original prediction. I think I'm right with mine and not only that I think they have a good chance to repeat their 13-3 record from last year. Its a great time to be a 49er fan.

You said awhile ago, "Cueto's ERA is going to soar, trust me, he is just a lucky pitcher."
Whats is Cueto's ERA now? thats right its still low. I will agree ERA is not a good indicator of a starting pitchers performance in the short term but it is in the long term over 162 games. The joke is not on me its on you. A real man admits when he is wrong but I doubt you have the cajones to do so. Next time don't be such a dick while posting on my bulletin board.
