  1. How long will Lee and Theriot keep their O'fers going? Will they get into the 20's? I'd like to see it. Following script, Cubs get routed, demoralizing late inning loss, get routed, I see another Braves ass-kicking today - 10-2.
  2. So long [expletive] Blues.
  3. Go Detroit! They just beat the Flames 4-3.
  4. Detroit takes over the 6th spot with the victory tonight.
  5. Who couldn't see this coming from 2 light years away - the obligatory low scoring one run loss, Cubs actually look like a professional baseball team, play well yet, still manage to lose - classic.
  6. 'Bout time the Hawks hammered the Stars!
  7. The pitchers walking the world and throwing BP was pretty bad however, the most upsetting aspect of yesterday' game may have been the defense. Theriot playing a pop-up into a hit, Lee with whatever that was on the attempted F3-F1, Zambrano' throw into the stands on Prado advancing to 3B. We saw too much of that stupid [expletive] last year and here we are, seeing it on opening day.
  8. It appears to me that the Blackhawks will have some tough cap decisions to make but, in no way shape or form was this season a one-time all or nothing shot at the Cup. My mother-in-law and her father, both diehard Red Wing fans, keep insistng this is situation with the Hawks. Of course, they also insist the Red Wings recent streak of 19 playoff appearances is some kind of a professional sports record - it's not even close - Bruins 29 straight years. Happily, they'll be disappointed to learn the Hawks will be very good next season as well.
  9. Holy jump to conclusions, Batman. Look, Soriano has his obvious flaws and is overpaid, but it's ridiculous to act like he's already a non-factor this season when he's played one game against a pitcher who would eat him alive even if Soriano was even in the middle of one of his hot streaks. How long does he have to crap the bed before this becomes a reality? I may be jumping to conclusions as well but, he was terrible in spring, pathetic today. I don't think it's far-fetched to conclude he's nearly done and a liablity. Is this serious? THEY'VE PLAYED ONE GAME. Lee, Aramis and Soto sucked in spring training, too, so you better get their replacements lined up as well. He's coming back from a season that he played most of while hurt and he's played one game against a pitcher he likely has little chance against even at his best. To be a liability he'd have to go on a stretch of crappy games at least longer than his usual cold streaks. Deciding that they need to think about benching him after the first game of the season is absurd. Agreed I'm being a bit irrattional, give him a chance maybe he'll rebound, I guess, we can only hope.
  10. you know what gets old even quicker? people who have no connection to duke or the ACC or the southeast hating duke with a passion for no reason. I have no connection to the ACC, but can't I hate Duke with a passion because Coach K is scum? I was going to ask a similar question as well.
  11. And it looks like he got it without comitting a foul which is astonishing in itself.
  12. Oh, you're a [expletive] dead man. Maybe when Scheyer making one of his faces and ssr is taking a dump.

  14. There's an excellent chance that's true, he slow spot up shooter, they don't get drafted by the NBA.
  15. It really sucks when a POS like Coach K wins.
  16. Giving up on Soriano after one game? You know, Colvin didn't get a hit in his at bat either. Keeping in mind I don't know Nady' health status, I'd say there's a fair chance he or Colvin will starting in LF within a month.
  17. Oh, c'mon. You know very well -- in fact, I think you've even mentioned it before -- that many of Duke's McDonald's All-Americans are such because they are committed to Duke, not because they're actually worthy (the same principle often applies to actual rankings, as well). Further, while it's hilarious to say "Duke hasn't been to the Final Four since 2004, ahahah" -- what a loser, he went five whole seasons without a Final Four -- Duke won 27-32-22-28-30 games over that stretch. Barnes has had four double-digit losses in the last six years, Coach K has had two since 1984 (not including the partial season he missed due to his back). I'd also argue Barnes has had more actual talent over the past six-eight years. This is a really stupid comparison and I'm going to stop now. You got me on your first point. All I can really argue with in this post is his ludicrous my team sucks so I'm getting back surgery and putting all the losses on this fall guy. [expletive] you K Yeah, i pretty much lost all respect for K after that. Let's not forget the profanity laced triade he unleashed on William Avery' mom after he left early for the NBA. Funny when Vitale' creaming in his paints over Duke and Coach K he never considers that as well.
  18. Dusty Byfuglien is leading the Hawks in shots tonight, do Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews still play for the Hawks? Seems to me Kane and Toews have been invisible for near a month now.
  19. He chose Duke over Illinois. You would have done the same. I don't think I would have, grew up an Illini fan, had and still have a strong dislike for Duke, just don't see me picking Duke over Illinois.
  20. George Mason, maybe. It wouldn't have an impact on Butler this year or next year. They shouldn't really be mentioned with George Mason. Butler would have had a bye this year into the 64 anyways. As far as Sweet 16's it all depends on who they give the byes to and how they sort it out with the last 64. You're right, Butler is damn good and shouldn't be considered a surprise FF contestant, I was trying to get at the Cinderella factor a 96 team tournament is going to kill it.
  21. Interesting they had Felipe Lopez as a possible bust for the Cards, I would have nominated Ryan Franklin. Closers with stuff as ordinary and hittable as Franklin don't sustain success, had a 2009 .269 BABIP and was definitely the beneficiary of some good luck. I'll take our bust candidate Marmol over sure thing Ryan Franklin any day of the week.
  22. A 96 team tournament is going to drastically reduce the chances of the mid-majors, more games to play, eventually, the mid-major will be knocked out. No more Butler or George Mason, etc., Sweet 16's, Final Fours - I believe this faction of tournament lends to its popularity.
