BTW, yes Duke did not play in the second half but they did play well in the first half.

And i never said Duke's defense was not good that game.

SG, two questions. Why are you a Duke fan? Did you go to the university? I only ask because I assume that you reside in the Baltimore/DC area because you love the Ravens and the O's.

Well Dook did play good defense but Maryland turned the ball over so many times on simply bone-headed plays. Question for you, in 1999, did Dook advance far in the NCAA tournament?

Based on the spanking UMCP took against Duke this week, NO Terp fan, me included, should try to get into an argument with a Duke fan. We sucked and Duke crushed us. Until we beat them or at least play to their level again we shouldn't talk smack.

Off the top of my head, i am not sure how far they advanced...They have been to 8 straight sweet 16's, so they at least got that far...What is your point?

For whatever reason, he enjoys picking fights with me abotu Duke, as if they have not accomplished anything.

One thing to have blind hatred for a team but all he normally does is make himself look foolish.

My point is they lost to UConn in the finals that year. So I was wondering if you consider that advancing "far" in the tournament.

Please quote for me anything I've said in this thread that does not have any merit that makes me look foolish. All I said was I'm anticipating another Dook collapse in the NCAA tournament which, in the post Battier era, has become their MO. Is that a foolish statement? I think not.

The fact that you even brought anything up, when it had nothing to do with thread, makes you look foolish IMO. All you wanted to do is take a shot at me and Duke because i asked how many drinks do you drink when you are down 30.

sports guy, why are you a duke fan?

He jumped on the bandwagon of Duke, didn't go there, live there, have parents who went there, or anything like that as far as I know, just picked them as his team because they were good and probably had some players he liked.

      That would be pretty cool. Just do me a favor and please don't start the magic number thread in June next season.

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.
