  1. So what's his ceiling? How excited should I be on him?
  2. :shock: :shock: :shock: I imagine Ryan would be excited to sign that deal...
  3. He's having a hell of a start
  4. This conversation is amazing that Len and Jim are having.
  5. Is this on his own, or is this a product of us asking him to change his approach and thus breaking him? Is there anyway to ever know?
  6. I don't get this move for Kansas. He's a very good recruiter, but self doesn't really need help in that. He's awful as a coch from what I have heard. I guess this about getting in hood with Okafor and Alexander? He's a recruiter. He has some great relationships in Chicago. Always seemed extremely tight with players too. yeah, he's a recruiter. but i don't think he's very valuable for anyone besides illinois. Like Bill Self needs his assistants to be recruiters. He just landed Andrew Wiggins. Seems to me like he would have wanted a strong X and Os guy.
  7. Dude on MLB Network was quoting W/L record to mock the pick. Might have been as bad as anything Gammons or Reynolds said. That was Greg Amsinger, huge Cardinal Homer. Always mocks us, totally unprofessional. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qffVgU5QaME lmao what a buffoon He was making fun of Carlos Marmol one night about not being able to throw strikes. Took it into a personal, attacking level. Pleasac and Reynolds were defending Carlos and you could tell they thought it wasn't at all cool.

  9. What a bizarre article, and I don't just mean the real life situation. Did anyone else feel like the author really went out of his way to avoid criticizing Walton? The guy comes across as pathological, but Brandon seems to want to portray him as some enthusiastic rascal. It blows my mind that he actually spent multiple days letting Montaous spin his [expletive] before calling him on it. He said in his q and a in the comments that he really felt bad for the kid and it was a difficult issue to write about. Fwiw.
  10. So I fell asleep before our second pick, yeah I know but my kids were out and I took the chance to sleep, why are so many down on our second pick? He's a lefty that hits mid nineties, correct? Please tell me it isn't his college w and l record.
  11. wth? It's just odd how there are a ton of other former stars there, but they're asking only the black kids what the black stars told them.
  12. Other black guys here tonight. What did you guys talk about? Black people things?
  13. yeah, pretty much. That show with Brian Kenny has ruined him. He's went into full meatball.
  14. They're crying poor again. I doubt they spend a ton on another guy.
  15. A guy I would have been pissed with at 41. Worse than the Simpson pick. Really. I think Moore is trying to get fired at this point.
  16. Can Frazier's swing really play against big league pitchers?
  17. Odd that in the 93 look back they didn't mention DLee. He had a much better career than Chris Carpenter.
  18. Ty Cobb beat this kid by a century.
  19. BFIB, give yourselves a standing ovation.
  20. those are on base per PA for OBP. Ok, thought they should. Anyways he found his way on base tonight three times so far with no hits.
  21. Javy HBP twice tonight. Those don't count for your OBP though, right?
  22. I really, really like our starters. If we can just get a little lucky with the bullpen going forward, could we really push .500?
