I thought Hunter Pence was going to be given a chance to win the cf job?

Ha quit being on the west coast and then ESPN and Full Court will pick you up. What a joke. Meanwhile Duke's practice will be shown tonight, you know cause of their program's history. Maybe it's due to the clean history at Duke. Do you know who Myron Piggie is? Ask Coach K about him and Corey Maggette then get back to me with their clean history. awesome response, thank you. Unfortunately, ESPN doesn't talk about that whole thing because they've cast their financial lot with Duke. Yeah I find it ironic that most people don't know about it, yet feel free to rip on other schools.

He was going against Oden. Cut him some slack. I am very impressed you guys played them that well. I wonder if they are starting to hit the wall abit with all of those frosh. Oden only blocked 1 of his shots. The other big man blocked 3 or 4 more. And it's not just OSU. Same thing happened as a frosh, understandably, in the Big Ten and against Alleyne at Kentucky. I'm not impressed by playing with anybody. IU has the coaching and talent to compete, especially if they shoot well. They gotta be better down the stretch though. Would have been a huge road win against the best team in the conference. Give them 1 of the games they have lost late (Butler, Duke, UK, OSU) and they are a tourney lock. You do realize the impact Oden has is felt at all times? You always are worrying about where he is and as a result will sometimes get your shot blocked by a guy you aren't paying the closest attention too. I also think you might be over estimating your talent level. It is good, but nothing to warrant beating any of those teams you mentioned.

Right, but wouldn't Cy also have possibly been a shoe salesmen as well?

It does seem like that kind of year again, where they haven't looked great. you know the one that ends up with Brady playing perfect throughout the entire playoffs.

and? Thereare many players now who juice or have juiced. Seems like that would make the game pretty different as well. That's nowhere near the impact of having the mound ten feet closer. Ten feet is an enormous difference, it just kills reaction time. That maybe the case, but you just cannot leave Cy Young out of the list of the best baseball players ever. I didn't say that, merely that you can't equate that much difference in the actual playing field to the suspected steroid use of today. I know that was more in response to the earlier poster saying he would like to keep those guys off that type of list.

Who? Kemp or Either? I hope you say no so I don't throw up.

Will Hawes still be there? This frosh class is loaded. There could be about ten guys who could be first round picks this year.

Agreed. That was a bad, desperate trade. Not only Nolasco, but Pinto will more than likely end up being every bit as big a blunder. We have a ton of question marks at the #5 starter slot with Prior, Miller, Cotts or Marshall. For all I know Guzman will all of a sudden snap out of it and realize his potential. But I can guarantee we'd have had no problems worrying about the 5 hole or maybe even wouldn't have signed Marquis if not for they horrific lose/lose trade. I can rattle off a lot of Hendry moves that i liked and until that Pierre mess i always thought protecting Macias insrtead of Sisco was his worst move, but nope. Losing those 3 young arms for NOTHING was simply awful. I am actually quite pleased that we spent money rather than leveraged away any more siginificant farm pieces, but I still await with baited breath to see what is done about an impact CF. I don't think some unfilled potential, claimed off the scrap heap type gets it done. There are few options out there, but someone out of perhaps the Dodger or Brewer orgs may be helpful. Both seem to have a surplus of OF's with good upside. Repko or Corey Hart would be awesome--i'd even be happy with Brady Clark for a short term--he's 33--but very serviceable. Maybe a 3-way with another team could land him...the Brewers look loaded in the OF with T Gwynn Jr, Laynce Nix, Mench, Hart, Clark, Jenkins, Anderson and Gross. Even Nix would work for me--saw him in AAA for a couple games right after TX traded him and he flat killed the ball. Bill Hall will more than likely land in the OF as well... Pie needs a lightning bolt miracle to be ready before 2008...he doesn't seem to be even close right now. Lets wait to see who the Cubs get in the Supplemental Draft for Pierre before we bash Hendry for failing to trade him before the deadline. I would rather have a first round pick than a C level prospect. That is a good point, but I think Nolasco might be better than anything we get.

Didn't Drew take all year to sign, almost to the next draft? This seems about par for the course.

It's called talent. We haven't bothered adding any the last three years. Jamar Smith withstanding.

What does this accomplish? We know people cheated, you have taken steps to fix it. Why ruin player's names when it wasn't even illegal at that point in baseball.

Please don't trade Prior. We won't get anywhere near his value at this point.

"You know these guys aren't near as good as the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals and their leader St. Albert Pujols."

I doubt they will-that would mean Michigan is basically the exact same team as last year with the exact same results, and they didn't get in then. Don't forget they lost Horton, who could have been conference MVP last year if they would have finished stronger. Reguardless Amaker will get them back to the NIT. Another one of K's coaching prodigees who has destroyed a decent program. Quinn and Mizzou being the other.

Yeah like so bad you were one of three NBA players to average 20 5 and 5. Pure emabrassment. :roll: The notion you put forth that MJ could embarass himself on a basketball court, even if he tried, is freakin' insane. Agreed, an older MJ was still a great player.

I wish the referees would let both teams play though.

Jamar has passed on like three open threes tonight.
