this isn't like the maryland game at all. you have to be kidding me, that was 10 points in a minute. teague got mugged there, i guess they won't be calling fouls here.
-
apparently mike patrick has never seen a guy execute a reverse dunk; he just about crapped himself when henderson just did it.
-
michigan is getting spanked by ohio st. they're shooting 20% from the field and 0-11 from downtown. they're running into good defenses now and can't get those open looks they were getting earlier in the year.

He was a top-100, 4-star recruit. who was averaging 4 PPG this season and had made 1 three pointer in his college career.

man what has gotten into this random white guy for wisconsin?

0.0 i thought only people who were funny got sanctioned by the board.

i'm with rocket here: Except that's a dumb slogan, since there a plenty of company's who make the same stuff. and i guarantee there's at least 1 person in this world who does not like sara lee. after learning what the "real" slogan is, i don't like sara lee. frankly i think she's a bitch.

Abolish FA Draft Pick Compensation?
TruffleShuffle replied to Outshined_One's topic in General Baseball Talk
yeah i would get rid of losing the first round pick except when you sign elite players. the problem is the guys who get rated as type A free agents but really aren't that great. just taking a look at the 2006 draft, here are the guys that caused teams to lose first round draft picks: Billy Wagner Tom Gordon Esteban Loaiza Paul Byrd Jeff Weaver Johnny Damon so not only are teams getting a late first round pick but they're also getting a first round pick. i'd sure as hell let tom gordon walk and take the two early picks rather than sign a late 30s reliever for a free-market price. you shouldn't lose a first round pick for signing paul byrd or esteban loiaza. that system is dumb. -

i've never seen it before and i always heard it as "nobody does it like sara lee." i like that way better. down with double-negatives!
-
well i'll be damned.
-
injury risk i certainly understand; however, i don't understand the type A concern. they'd be losing a draft pick in the lower half of the first round; if they trade for peavy they'd be giving up a guy who was picked in the high first round, plus other prospects.

Harden: minor tear in shoulder joint
TruffleShuffle replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
What, is Lou actually not the manager of the Cubs? everyone knows he's just a figurehead. -
yeah that was the "eagles" first winning season, which is kind of a pathetic footnote for a sad franchise.
-
who was the lucky bastard that got his hands on khalil greene?
-
they should definitely be better but i don't like the back of that rotation. i could see hochevar becoming a #2/#3 down the road but that would really be a quantum leap at this stage of his career. brian bannister is a babip miracle who crashed to earth last year, and davies still has a ways to go before he can be considered a solid starter. as long as greinke's head is right, i like him a lot. still, it's not exactly a huge leap to say that they could win 80 games next year, considering that their division still sucks and they won 75 games a year ago, and most of their roster consists of guys who should still be improving. not pissing away 600 PAs on gathright (59 OPS+) and tony pena (7!!!! OPS+) should be worth a couple of wins right off the bat.
-
yeah i don't know how to get any handle on whether kevin greene (or any former player just coming into coaching) will be good or bad. there have been great players who were horrible coaches and lousy players who were great coaches. if he's as good a coach as he was a player, that would be a good thing, but who the hell knows.
-
they still might be pretty good. they were very good last year as well and it looks like they only lost a couple of role players. they'll certainly get to play a real team this week since they travel to gonzaga.

i would just like to inject my opinion about conversation i heard on espn radio last weekend. one host was saying that mcnabb is not a hall of famer and warner is borderline, while the other host said that to him, warner was in but mcnabb had to make at least one or two more super bowls. let me stick up for mcnabb (and perhaps put warner down too). warner has better career numbers and won a super bowl, but he also had the best player in the NFL plus two great WRs in st. louis, and now has the best WR in the nfl plus another #1 WR in arizona. mcnabb had ONE season where he had a WR as good as the WRs that kurt warner has pretty much always played with, and that year he had a 104.7 QB rating and made the super bowl.

yeah they have three auto-losses (@mich st, @purdue, @illinois) and only one auto-win left (vs indiana).
-
agreed. that's why derosa was really useful; you could shift him to LF or 3B when the inevitable ARam/soriano injury happened and not suffer a huge drop off when you slot fontenot in at 2B. now you're dropping off from ARam to aaron miles. call me crazy but i don't think aaron miles can give acceptable production for a corner infielder.
-
yeah they got lucky and avoided the "bad loss" hopefully they'll go into their next game with some sort of coherent game plan. they shoot the three pretty well but there's no reason they should be firing up 60% of their shots from behind the arc.
-
boy i was saying about half an hour ago that i'm glad i didn't go to the game. now i'm kinda pissed.
