  1. But, but, but, '05. and he's been through so much! I want to fight Weber.
  2. We have one shooter.
  3. But, but, but, '05.
  4. Sam is amazing. Glad he's playing a lot of minutes.
  5. Extend Weber now before someone else snatches him up.
  6. Peoriaman: Hope Stan Simpson is happy.
  7. It's bad if it costs them Montgomery and Myers to get Garza.
  8. True, poor Albert was barely getting by. I love when people who couldn't dream of being in a comparable situation act like differences of millions of dollars are trivial to millionaires just because they already can "get by." I'm not judging him, I'm all for his choice. Just saying a lot of the athletes aren't very forthcoming in their interviews to the press.
  9. They probably are another year away at least from catching the Tigers. But, I think they'll finish second in the AL Central. That offense could be a force to be reckoned with for years to come. As for pitching, they'll need more than 1 front end starter unless Luke Hochever suddenly becomes an ace. Are you assuming no improvement from Danny Duffy? Michael Montgomery? Not to the point that they can anchor a pitching staff by 2012. Yes, 2013 should be their target date for competing.

  13. I'm aware he's at 267 just trying to say that's probably the main reason he's sticking around. it's not Thanks Jamie, glad you could stop by. look, he's pitched in philly (where i lived close to) for 5 years when he was at an advanced age, and he said in interviews that he didn't care about benchmarks but kept playing because he enjoyed it and felt like he had something to offer the phillies. you can choose not to believe him, but considering that he'd likely have to be a starting pitcher for at least 3 more seasons to reach 300 wins, i'd say he's just doing it because he still likes to play. Albert Pujols said all last year, 2010, saying it wasn't about the money. It was about winning. Then he leaves the team that wins the title for more money. So forgive me if I don't believe anything that an athlete says when speaking to the press.
  14. He's made upwards of 90 million thus far in his career. He's gotta be setting pretty well.

  17. Good lord, how does anyone think we could win the Big Ten?
  18. Lol, of course a Purdue fan would be happy with the job Weber has done at UI since '06.
  19. Just like Cole Aldrich before him.
  20. Sounds like a hot time It's [expletive], they don't allow you to question the coach or any of his choices. But, teenage kids are fair game to attack. Weber gets paid millions a year, but he's protected. I don't get how the scout network hasn't stepped in, I know they've lost two premium accounts for sure over that moderation.
  21. I hope this doesn't mean another Patriot title.
  22. He's playing with house money, no one thought he would get this team to this spot at this point. He'd do that even if they were the favorites to win the Super Bowl. That's been his M.O. as a coach, even at Stanford. Didn't know that, I like it though.

  24. Can't leave brees anytime. Lol.
