  1. Is just me or has Aram missed nearly every hanging slider thus far?
  2. Must be that unsure footing thing again...
  3. Let's see if Pie and Fukudome, should they get on base again, realize Jason Kendall is catching. Apparently they thought Johnny Bench was catching for the Brewers yesterday.
  4. I look upon this game as an anomaly rather than the norm; I don't see the Cub bullpen being this bad throughout the season. There is however, one norm - Ryan Theriot really, really, really sucks and should not be leading off - I believe Lou will realize this, it may take a while but, I believe he will.
  5. I'd like to see Kansas State get past USC, assuming Wisconsin advances, it'll be interesting to see what the Badgers can do against Beasley. I'm thinking he'll will have most, if not all, of the Badgers starting front line in foul trouble by halftime and have a couple of them fouled out by the ten minute mark of the 2nd half.
  6. That offers me no consolation. Just makes me sadder. Trailing at the half 5 times all year. Just a painful year of basketball. Thankfully it will be over soon enough. Please let next year bet better. I don't see how it won't be given, in Smith and Legion; they'll be adding players who have important basketball skills, like the ability to successfully shoot the ball. Do you realize that if the Illini shot a rather pedestrian 70% from the free throw line they'd be around 20-8 (took the 54 additional points and came up with 8 more wins) and quite possibly NCAA bound?
  7. Maybe it was that visit to the nudie bar which lead to the twisted testicle...
  8. You're not sure IU will recover? Is that a joke? I didn't word that properly, what I meant is as a result Sampson' actions IU Basketball may be hit with some sanctions and will be down in the near future.
  9. After the Gordon fiasco didn't you mention something about karma one day hitting Sampson right between the eyes? Well, I didn't think it would happen so quickly.
  10. I believe, ironically, Sampson chaired a coaching ethics committee at one time? Did he not? Well, IU you got your Kelvin Sampson and Eric Gordon along, with U of I in crapper this season. However, I believe Weber and the Illini will recover and be back on the map, not so sure about IU. Hope it was worth it...
  11. Illinois by the way, has some more than decent talent coming in, Weber has really stepped up his recruiting and has commitments from arguably the state' top two players (2010) and boatload of talent coming in 2009. At this point far superior to what Indiana has for 2009 and 2010, as for 2008, I believe you'll see a vastly improved Illini team - Legion and Smith can do something most of the current Illini can't do - shoot.
  12. Most definitely, it could be but, I'm beyond the point of caring about the economic ramifications, I’d like to see Cub WS in my lifetime, if this signing gets the Cubs there costs be damned.
  13. To someone with a decent baseball mind yes, this deal makes perfect sense, but, does it make sense to Jim Hendry?
  14. I wonder how many places like stores and restaurants won't let you in if you're wearing that? I just wish Harry was alive to pronounce it on the radio. Back words...
  15. If you really think this is why Michigan is kicking our butts, please take a seat in the losers section. Not at all however, for the last two weeks I've watched Michigan' opposition get called for holding while they continue to drag defenders to the ground without a call.
  16. Of course, holding on MSU, hey Officials why don't you look at those guys in Maize and Blue - the best holders in the nation.
  17. yeah, are you just starting to follow the big ten? btw nice job giving up 31 points in the first quarter, USF. Not a first time Big Ten follower, just someone who's getting very frustrated with UM and their holding.
  18. Is there some unofficial Big Ten policy about not calling holding on Michigan? On both of Hart' big runs there were big time holds most especially, #44 on the last run.
  19. That had Mike Quade written all over it...
  20. Basically Byrnes said that the Dbags outplayed the Rockies the 1st two games but that the Rockies won because they are lucky. More Byrnes whining within the same article, said nothing has gone their way thus far. Well if one doesn't include the regular season and the NLDS I guess he's right, lap it up Diamondbacks. You're done after tonight - shouldn't have been in the playoffs in the first place. Hey Tony Clark - Anybody at anytime, what's it after tonight? Nobody at no time?
  21. That would be really depressing if that happens I want this to happen. I've learned to hate the D'backs. Not only a sweep but, I'd like to see Mister Intensity Bug Eyes Valverde blow a save in the process - wonder how much he'll jump around under such circumstances. Yeah, I know it's probably illogical to hate him and yet love Zambrano as much as I do...but I really want this to happen. Of course, my view is bias however, I don't believe Zambrano is quite as obnoxious.
  22. That would be really depressing if that happens I want this to happen. I've learned to hate the D'backs. Not only a sweep but, I'd like to see Mister Intensity Bug Eyes Valverde blow a save in the process - wonder how much he'll jump around under such circumstances.
  23. Diamondbacks turn to be swept - book it.
  24. Considering he only hit .237 on the season, I'd say most teams have already figured that out. The Cubs on the other hand... Indulging in woulda, coulda, shoulda if Lilley throws a breaking ball (I was calling for one) to Young in game 2, he probably K's him and escapes the inning. Could have changed the outcome of that game, heck I'm fairly certain that if the Cubs would have gotten game 2. Everyone would have relaxed and quite probably the Cubs win the series in 4 games.
  25. Wonder if the Rockies will figure out Chris Young can't hit a breaking ball?
