  1. They're pretty amazing right now.
  2. Well since I always kinda respected IU's program before EJ and Kelvin i guess that would be reason to hate him. Plus he's a creep, he handled the situation all wrong and I just don't like him or his family. After the Bulls have done nothing but draft Dukies and Jayhawks, this would probably be the final straw for me jumping over to the Jazz as a full time fan.
  3. Oh I think he hurt you. The light was kinda shown on your programs recruiting after his fiasco. Even though an intern caught Sampson. I almost wonder how bad things would have gotten had she not reported him?
  4. Because that was what he said. I'm pretty sure he was simply commenting on the fact that Rasmus hadn't done much against lefties since he got to the bigs. And the fact remains that the 2 pitches he's hit hard this series were both hanging curveballs, which ML hitters should hit hard. He used the Baseball America ranking as a crutch for one guy. I showed it meant crap for another. Rasmus has a MiLB OPS of .826 against lefties FWIW. He's a good player. But, to use the number 3 prospect thing is dumb. Although I have my Delmon Young, Alex Gordon, and Brandon Wood votes cast for the All Star game. SInce they were all top 3 at one point.

  6. We have to take him over Dunn though because can you imagine how bad Dunn's defense would have been in right field? wait, what should Bradley have done there? I am not watchign at this point, just following online, so going off reactions.
  7. We have to take him over Dunn though because can you imagine how bad Dunn's defense would have been in right field? Bradley > Dunn in every aspect besides HRs. Wait til Bradley starts hitting like he's supposed too. Dunn is a much better player than Milton.

  9. Brian Barden was once ranked as the most likely to succeed by his hometown yearbook, so he's not supposed to because you dislike the Cardinals?
  10. I love how the third rated prospect in baseball is suppose to go his whole career without being able to hit left handed pitching because you hate the Cardinals. Corey Patterson was once the 2nd rated prospect. I didn't follow him too closely, but I assume he has won a few MVPs, no?
  11. Dusty Baker finally figured out how to cast a hex on this team from afar. In all seriousness that was the most enjoyable thing about last year for me. Finally we were making the other pitchers work. And just like that...it was gone Had to change things up because of a three game sample size.

  13. I thought it sucked for a brand new park. Kansas City did a better job with their renovations. What's bad about the park? I really didn't like the sightlines. I also felt it came off like they were trying to remake Wrigley Field combined with Camden Yards.

  15. God we are not a lot of fun to watch right now.
  16. Lou just keep saying you'll get Hoff in. ](*,) :banghead: ](*,)
  17. They add Eric Gordon and I am done with them. Why? He's basically Ben from 4 years ago: Gordon's rookie stat line Don't get me wrong - I'd prefer to replace Ben Gordon with Chris Bosh and start Salmons at SG, but I don't know how realistic that is. I can't stand him. No basketball reason really.

  19. Utah is better than New Orleans and way, way better than Detroit and Philadelphia. I think it's clear that Houston without McGrady is at least even to Houston with McGrady and you could make the argument that they're actually better. And the Rockets played LA tough the first couple games when Yao was still healthy. Houston without Yao, I'll give you, but they're probably still better than most of the crap the East can throw out there after the Big 3. Utah is not better than New Orleans. The Rockets probably win that series with Yao. They're probably even and last time I checked, Utah didn't quit on their season or lose by 58 points in a playoff game. That gives the edge to Utah. They are pretty even. However Utah couldn't win on the road, giving the edge to New Orleans IMO. Utah was also all banged up all year and kills New Orleans head to head.
  20. Well that crap didn't work last year. Because a 3 game sample size said so. Screw winning 97 games. Lets go back to hacking.
