no smack talk this week? I already wrote some smack talk....I've been waiting for you to respond! Oops, completely missed it. As much as I'd like to defend the Big 10 [eleven], Michigan did a whole lot to ruin our credibility. Our D-line has a lot of experience and most of them are pretty good. There's really no reason this should be a close game. Last I checked we were a 21.5 favorite, but we were also a big favorite last year. I'm planning on staying sober for most of this one, but that's really hard to do with such a late start.

Was trash being thrown on the field during the top 9th? After the final out? there's been a lot of trash on the field for decades

assuming you meant "if" he didn't suck, you could put anyone's name in that group

no smack talk this week?

this is the greatest thing since..... well, nothing this great has ever happened

then don't refer to it as crap

what a dummy

sometimes Soriano's pretty good

Buck Coats, porn star

I never liked Prince

pujols is 48 years old

the only curse is on everyone else in the universe that has to go to our actual jobs everyday to make ends meet -- there's got to be a reason that no talent hack is on TV and in movies

[-X Some did. quite a lot actually

Actually, "us guys" are composed of people that: 1) love to slam young players before they ever have a chance 2) love to slam young players who don't fit a certain profile 3) give too much credit to young players when projecting their minor league numbers to the bigs 4) lots of other varieties of "us" You forgot the all-important category #5, which includes people who are massively sarcastic. When it became clear Vitters wasn't going to sign until late in the proceedings, I knew there was going to be an extraordinarily limited period of time to judge Vitters. Unless he came to Mesa and proceeded to tear the cover off the ball to an extraordinary degree, he pretty much was going to be #3 on my personal list no matter what. Next season is going to be critical for evaluating him. If he keeps in good shape and works hard in the offseason, then comes into Spring Training looking smooth in the field and at the plate, then he should start off in Peoria. From there, we'll have a full season with plenty of guys on this board getting a first-hand look at him. After next season, we'll have a better idea of what he's capable of. He has the potential to deliver in a big way, happily. So O_O is part of the Wait And See Tribe? (C'mon, someone's gotta get the reference.) got it -- that was just on yesterday or the day before

finally got around to rating

If they had a spot on the 40 man for him, I'd say he probably would be recalled, but he was DFA'd so he's not on the 40 man roster anymore. I'm fairly confident we've seen the last of Koyie Hill in a Cubs uniform

playing time

he may have been underrated a few years ago, but he's most certainly not now

I thought it was impressive that Idaho was getting 47 at USC until I saw that line
