I might be an idiot, but I think Cleveland gets them. I think they are a decent team that would have been about 7th best in the West. 7th in the West? They have LeBron but they're not that good outside of him. I realize they made the Finals last year with just LeBron and a bunch of role players, but I don't think there's any chance they get past Boston in the second round. No I mean Boston as 7th in the West. Really? Yeah I like all the four teams left and Phoenix and Dallas better than them. I like the big three, but after that I don't. Rondo and Perkins are just bleh.

I've got a newborn at home, so I'm a little behind on IU news, but here is what I can gather. 2 players remain from Sampsons 2008 class, those will be Matt Roth and Tom Pritchard. Crean has signed two players for next year since he took the job. Those are JUCO SG Devan Dumes and Alabama Mr. Basketball Nick Williams, also a 6-4 SG. Who knows what will happen next. He has said that he isn't going to offer someone just to fill a scholarship. he wants quality players, and if that means being short-handed next year than so be it. For 2009 he has committments from Derek Elston, Bobby Copabianco, and now Maurice Creek. Next year might be ugly, but I think he will get things in order. Just out of curiousity, what do you think? I think you guys made a very good hire.

Carlos Boozer is looking to set the career record for turnovers in one half today.

I kind of figured that would happen. Marvin Williams is the new Sam Bowie.

Good this at least forces them to keep Hochevar up. -
Re: Gallardo (Brewers fan here)

He could, but would he? They jerked Salty around pretty good so far. Oh and he can't be traded until the draft again. -
Yanking him after 2/3 of inning and demoting him to AAA will help his worry. This will all work out in the end, I'm sure of that. It will when the Cardinals or Atlanta claims him next year.

The Crew should be asking around about the availability of all of the other really good pitchers out there and not even think about Gallardo for this year. He is too good to risk any kind of pitching through an injury. Just see what you can patch together for this year. There is no need to risk further injury with Yovanni. -
Hell no, he will use him again tomorrow. He is hell bent on ruining him.
-
Yeah, don't you know that Joe is the show. He will tell you about anything he feels like.
-
Well this is moronic.
-
Wonder what Lou is freebasing these days?
-
Man he didn't swing at that.
-
Jesus Tim wrote a book? I bet that's a great read.
-
Hehehe sit down Alby.
-
Little bird on bat luck going on this inning.
-
Yep, that is a catch Ryan Ludwick should be able to make.
-
Theriot gets on and we have to let Cedeno pinch hit.
-
He is hanging out in Iowa for the time being. You know cause we corrected all these things with him this spring. Those cubs coaches sure are perfectionists. When they get through with Hill, he's gonna be Walter Johnson! Yep, It was either that or he just be really good again for us this year. We don't like really good, we like perfection. Like Marquis and Dempster.

I like our chances tomorrow. Wellemeyer will walk the world if we allow him to.
-
Isn't that what your name used to be? play pie or something? yes maybe at this point you should change it back to play pie Come on now Felix will play when we face another great righty. I bet he gets the start against Cueto and Harrang.
-
Noway you gotta let him get settled in for a couple days before he can be used. Yeah, you know. Like we did with Chad Fox.
