    The guy knows how to get it done in tournament time. he also makes sure they play a good OOC schedule so that they're prepared for other styles when they get out of the plodding big ten.

    nice sarcastic cheer by the spartan fans

    msu needs to keep suton on the perimeter to draw thabeet from underneath the basket when uconn is playing man.

    Nobody else on the Ms list would be useful to us, but if no Peavy deal can happen, Id take Bedard. I know Hendry has shown some interest in him in the past. most of those guys have horrendous contracts and can't be moved. at least beltre's contract is up after this season so i could see someone taking him on if they need a 3B at the deadline. silva has 3 years, $36M which is awful. i guess if someone is desperate enough they could take on washburn or batista since their contracts are up. nobody wants johjima for 3 years and $24M. lopez has value due to a team-friendly contract, especially if the progress he made offensively last season was a real breakthrough - but he may not be a guy that the m's want to give up. bedard has a lot of value if he's healthy - look at what the m's gave up to get him.

    i wouldn't take it up against thabeet either if i knew he'd drill me and not get called for it.

    i like castro a lot too, that's why i don't want him jumped to daytona. flaherty is more advanced than castro; if they're sticking with both of them at SS then go with flaherty at daytona, castro at peoria and junior lake at boise. castro has had 51 games in the arizona league, just turned 19 and weighs in around 160. you don't jump a guy like that past two levels.

    now that the deadline has passed, here are the predictions of RS/RA and the pythagorean # of wins, versus the # of wins that each user predicted: overall, the average nsbb pick has the cubs underperforming their pythagorean wins by 4.33. oops.

    http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hTC_cTYybOWW6lIcp6EwiWR4ywZgD9799SKO0 3 years, $42 million with an option to make it 4 years and $61 million. one of the best hitters of our generation, and should be a sure-fire hall of famer.

    wow castro in daytona? seems like too much of a leap.
  12. TruffleShuffle
    that's because dusty baker isn't managing their AA affiliate.

    one daniel, not multiple.

    i have no idea how you got garza in round 13.

    I think I had us overperforming our Pythagorean by like 9 games last year. I fixed that this time around. by having us underperforming our pythagorean by like 9 games this year? I have us at +153 in runs and +16 in wins. Am I missing something? http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/4/3/c/43c198866d56f1677288399f3908934e.png plug in the numbers, multiply by 162 and see how many wins you've got.

    in time, you will learn to love him.

    that's what she said

    ????????????????????????????????? I know it's a pre-season game: but it seams a bit out of the way. Why didn't they just put another east coast team there? I'm guessing because they wanted a premier team and a matchup with the Mets wouldn't work because they're doing a dress rehearsal with their stadium. What about the Red Sox? who do you think is playing the mets?

    i figured this sort of thing would start happening. same with newspapers sending reporters to cover major sporting events like the final four, various pro sports championships, etc. they may just decide it's easier and cheaper to run the AP summary than to pay one of your guys to go down there and report.

    I don't get why coaches want to take the jobs around Duke and UNC. You're never going to be able to recruit with the big boys. I get the money, but I am sure he made pretty good money at Nevada. duke and unc don't recruit regionally. carolina's starting five are from california, pennsylvania, missouri, new york and maryland. duke's starting five are from oregon, pennsylvania, and illinois, plus any two of new jersey, new jersey, maryland and tennessee.

    This can include Sunday and Monday games. Potential weather-outs on Monday: Mets @ Cincinnati, Monday afternoon - windy and cold with snow showers possible KC @ White Sox, Monday afternoon - same weather as cincy NYY @ Baltimore, Monday afternoon - rain, t-storms TB @ Boston, Monday afternoon, windy with rain

    i guess this is a valid comparison if 65 teams are playing in the rose bowl and then another 32 played in the humanitarian bowl. seems to me the field would be awfully crowded. and illinois lost as a #5 seed in the 5-12 game, which is probably the equivalent of the outback bowl. penn st won 5 games in the NIT and beat baylor in a matchup of teams probably ranked around #50 out of 340, so that's like winning the peach bowl or something. i'd rather win the peach bowl than lose in the outback bowl. Yea I like how you have failed to mention that the Illini lost to a 12 seed that was a Sweet 16 team the previous year, and also didnt have their starting PG.... ok so there were extenuating circumstances for them losing in the outback bowl. happy?

    if this guy makes the majors i'm totally calling him "the donger"

    the average NSBB'er is picking the cubs to underperform their pythagorean winning percentage by 4.35 wins. :x
