Actually, it appears that there is very little wrong with the Memphis program at all. The worst of the problems are with the women's golf coach. With men's basketball, Rose may have had his brothr take the SAT for him in Chicago, before he committed to Memphis. Memphis wouldn't have anythign to do with it, and the NCAA clearinghouse verified the score, so there likely wouldn't be any real "punishment" of the program (and they've already said Calipari had nothing to do with it regardless) except to declare Rose ineligible after the fact, worst case scenario. That would vacate the 07-08 season, but wouldn't have any restrictions placed on the program, and wouldn't constitute a violation on Memphis' part. The guy who flew on the charter plane actually got a bill from Memphis for the travel, according to the memphis consitution, and the NCAA found out about it because they saw Memphis' follow-up letters asking for payment, which again appears to be no issue other than the guy not paying all of his bills(he paid for other trips with the team). Not that it's okay for a kid to have someone else take his SAT, but it's not a Memphis Basketball Program issue- it's a Derrick Rose issue. Now the women's golf coach...that lady is screwed. I think you are right, but I doubt that Cal wants any kind of investigating going on as to how his program was ran the past 5 years.

Oh come one they only missed; Santana, Lincecum, Zambrano, Haren, Greinke, and Hamels.

Maddux for Izturis was Jim Hendry's second worst trade for this team. I'm not sure about that. It's not like that trade really affected us that badly. The 06 team sucked either way and the 07 team made the playoffs despite it. Right now it seems like the DeRo trade is worse than that one. Oh boy. My hatred of Cesar Izturis and the fact that the Cubs could have gotten prospects for Maddux are the two reasons why I despise that deal so much. At least the DeRosa trade might net the Cubs some decent relievers down the road. Not prospects that could glove in runs.

I wish we would have gotten Kemp for Maddux.

Lee's been ok lately. Soto also has been better. fontenot has a .929 ops in the last week. His middle of may was god awful. Really? Without any homers he has an OPS that high? If you're hitting .429 in that span, it's not too surprising. That's true. Didn't realize he had been that hot.

Please don't be wild.

Hell Yes!!! Not on K. Hill's watch.

You had to say something.

SINNER!!!!! SINNER!!!!!!!!!! Yeah you see my sig?

No, your pretty right on. Unfortunately it seems most kids prefer the AAU season now though to the real thing. But still he is getting the chance to play as good as it gets during the summer.

Awful. Don't try and make the club better though Jim, things are fine.

You should probably stop following this game. We're Cubs fans. Aren't we all masochists? Yep. The good thing is I just expect it now. last night my fiancee was like oh they got this tied. I told her I would be in bed in a few minutes.

Down from 1st last week. Might be time to trade him, selling high.

I like this. Yep, going to a place with a much better coach than he had in Waukegan. I'm more concerned with him playing top level talent every game, so he can come in and be a beast from day 1. I don't think that is as big an issue now as it used to be because of the AAU tournys. It won't hurt either though.

I love that Hendry keeps signing guys the Royals have been getting rid of. Gathright now Blanco. I wonder what Ruben Gotay is doing? Or Andy Sisco.

Yep which would have been Chad if we had a big league lineup today. You have to score in the second against him. Exactly. Is the LA bullpen any good? Very good.

Jereme Richmond is going to the same prep school that D.J. Richardson went to.

I for one hope the team never gets sold and we are stuck in this limbo with Jim Hendry running things.

all of our guys? who's sitting...soto and bradley? it's pretty reasonable to give your catcher a game off on a day game after night game. everybody has been wanting to get Hoff more at bats, and Bradley probably needs to be handled carefully. i don't see the big problem. edit: and Theriot. i knew i was forgetting someone. Why not let hoff play today at first since we got a tough righty on the mound and we have to be more lefthanded this year when possible?

Once again all of our guys need days off yet our opponents will trot their best out there each day. :banghead:
