  1. According to the game thread on LEPG, he threw 19 pitches tonight, only three of which were sliders.
  2. Soriano has also been out for that span. That's a huge bat to lose.
  3. If you're talking about the move made when Wood returns it would have to be Eyre. Lieber is already on the DL, so releasing him now wouldn't free up a roster spot for Wood. Releasing Eyre would make room for Wood. Given the market for LHP right now, I'd have to assume we'd trade Eyre rather than release him... somebody would certainly want him. I still think Cotts gets sent down. You'd think they'd try to showcase Eyre a bit so they could move him and keep Cotts on the big club.
  4. drake is awful. Why is he umpin at the ML level?
  5. An Auburn fan compiled online previews for every team here
  6. POTD dammit, rocket beat me to it.
  7. evil masterminds never hang out around the scene of a crime settle down, cubette
  8. Come on Derwood. RedIvyCub makes declarative statements as if she's standing right next to Bud Selig and then can't back any of them up when pressed, and then reverts to either playing the victim or ramping up the condescension. She should either be prepared to back up her statements, or be prepared to be called out. She also seems to base a lot of her "facts" solely on how she or her friends were treated while they were there. That makes it hard to separate the useful info she might have from stuff completely colored by her negative experience. So I guess I'm saying her objectivity is in question. It doesn't help that she says things like this: When just a week or so back she said she barely watches the team anymore because she dislikes many of the players on a personal level.
  9. Just out of curiosity, how do you (and Cubbies75) feel about his natural talent? Is he a top pick in that respect, but has terrible decision-making skills or is he just terrible all around? I've never watched him, so I only have stats and scouting reports to go off of. I personally don't see it. He's got all the right physical measurements, but that's about where it stops. He's never impressed me as a quarterback.
  10. Well, I might sneak into the 2nd or 3rd round next year then. Interesting: Josh Freeman, soph yr - 63.3 comp %, 6.7 yards per pass, 18:11 TD:INT, 127.3 rating Matt Ryan, jr yr - 61.6%, 6.9 y/pass, 15:10 TD:INT, 126.4 rating I don't think a "mediocre" year from Freeman should make him the #1 pick, just as I don't think Matt Ryan should have been the first QB taken in the draft. But, I can see the precedent for an NFL team falling in love with Freeman's natural skills (he is 6'6, 250) much like they did Ryan's and not looking at the stats. Freeman's sophomore year and Ryan's junior year were eerily similar. Freeman won't have Jordy Nelson to save his ass. I don't know what Ryan' decision making abilities were like, but freeman's are pretty bad. The offense is basically designed to make him think as little as possible.
  11. [terrible joke] SpongeBob's cousin [/terrible joke]
  12. And it's worth noting that he threw all of 7, count 'em 7 low-stress pitches today. One figures he'll be okay to go tomorrow if needed. I counted 8. :wink: How many did AZ Phil have him down for?
  13. That's a good fit for the Illinois offense. I know Mizzou was after him too, but the Illini offense is probably a better fit, and he'd have fewer guys in between him and playing time. Terry Hawthorne, a WR from East St. Louis(Rivals 18th best WR, Scout 57th), also committed to U of I this weekend. i don't know, i think charest is a major obstacle for scheelhaase, although i'm blown away by what he looks like on the field as compared to charest. hawthorne is good, but we really want appleton. I'm pretty bummed about ScheelHaase. He was exactly the recruit we need to turn a good recruiting class into a national ranked one. No question about it, that Zook can recruit.
  14. Oops, I said extra innings, but I meant MLB.tv. However, that's only when I'm home and can watch it. At work, I'm forced to gamecast it quite a bit or check game threads here.
  15. Serious question: is that his daughter?
  16. and what do you call them?
  17. He's a multi-millionaire, and he buys from the clearance rack at Burlington Coat Factory. The best part...it was separates. The jacket did not match the pants. Hilarious. He just oozes Wisconsin. He couldn't look more like a used car salesman if he tried.

  19. c'mon lidge. don't rob me of a cluster-eff.
  20. I'm eagerly awaiting the point where Fred, Scooby, and the gang pull off Uggla's mask, revealing Selig underneath.
