Yeah Pom had them at #10 I believe.

I loved seeing Leonard get some good minutes tonight and doing ok. I wish Crandall could find some minutes somewhere.
-
You know DMac is a senior, right?
-
No, what happened? My favorite part was when Seth Davis asked him what he thought about people calling him a liar. His response was something like "Is lying the same thing as not telling the truth? I'm not sure." He also cried. I'm not usually prone to schadenfreude, but that sounds glorious. I think he might be a [expletive].

Did anyone see Pearl's thing at halftime of the Kentucky Louisville game? Awesome how it's all coming down on him.
-
Richmond is gonna be a load next year. He's already darn good now when he plays to his strengths.
-
You guys haven't even been close on most of them.
-
Bill Cole is on fire.
-
I know what it is, just don't remember what a win is like in it.
-
We probably will start posting up Jereme and Tisdale at some point though. I'm surprised they aren't with Cole out. As I typed this they did. We fall in love with the jumper too much. I would try to post Jereme a lot more than we do. It's hard not to when they get so hot. As long as we don't go all Kentucky in the Elite 8 when they don't fall, I'm fine with being a pretty boy jump shooting team What is an Elite Eight?

Illinois bench Chester Frazier Iowa bench Ryan Bowen Advantage Iowa big time. Thought that needed to be said.

I really hate Ed Hightower
-
Jesus, our offense is terrible to watch. And any day now we will take the three away from Matt Gatens.

Prolly cause Charlie V is a cancer to the NBA, huh Kev?

Step one trade for Deron Williams. Step two dominate.
-
He said there isn't a 10-win player, not a 5-win player. Pujols, on average, is an 8 WAR player. oh gotcha, misread. -
It is going to be much more than a couple of wins, most likely 5+ wins and plausibly 10+, the range of outcomes is pretty large. The quote you were responding to was focused on the Grienke trade specifically. As outlined, you start with an estimate of Greinke's WAR, subtract a little for the switch to Betancourt at SS, and subtract a little more for the opportunity cost of Greinke's $13M salary. 5+ wins is on the WAY high side for this move alone. 10+ is just silly. There isn't a 10 win player in baseball (much less a pitcher), even before the downward adjustments. Pegging it at a 2 win improvement is very reasonable. Add a couple more for the Marcum move, but even then I personally don't see it vaulting the Brewers into the playoffs. It vaults them into the .500 range. This is a team that won 77 games last year. You really don't think Pujols gives the Cardinals more than 5 wins a year?
-
He was such a dolt at times. I've already watched more games this year than the previous 3 seasons combined despite being so [expletive]. Not to mention, no Todd Lickliter means no John Lickliter They employed Bruce Pearl. I wish they still had Lickliter. Both of them.
-
I really want to go, but like an idiot didn't put in for time off for it. Although I don't think I would want to be there with any of my Iowa fan friends if we lost.
-
I'm torn on this next game. I want to win and you know be good, butI also want to see the Scout board if we lose and hear how everything is ok.

So now a man who has had one season of a ERA+ of over 130, three years ago and has a WHIP consistently in the 1.3's is a ace of the caliber of cliff lee? LOL 14 mill for the rich man's Jason Marquis. But he's since he's considered funny it doesn't matter. I remember one time i saw tim lincecum throw 6 straight balls and i was like [expletive] this midget In his defense he smokes a lot of pot and gets distracted very easily.

A few years equal 2 now? When I said a few, I meant more like 5 years... Like I said before the last post, Soto is the closest thing we had to an impact bat right now. He had 2 great years (although he was screwed one year with only like 350 PAs), but he also had a bad year as well. Also Soto was great last year, but the way Lou was screwing around with him that it almost made it feel like he wasn't a big part of that offense even when he was in the lineup (he mainly batted 7th or 8th). Oh, well there aren't a ton of guys in baseball right now who have had 5 plus years of all star performance are there?
