    It is my biased opinion that the Cubs are lucky enough to have one of the best alternate uniforms in baseball in the blues, although I dare not say they surpass Oakland's green togs. It is also my biased opinion that the pinstripes are awesome - I can't think of one uniform I like better, and certainly not in the NL. In my ideal universe, we'd always wear the pinstripes at home (unless Z is pitching) and always wear the blues on the road.

    I love the blue jerseys. As far as I'm concerned its 1. Blues 2. Pinstripes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1314350974260. Those hideous gray road uni's. Werd. If they could put the gray ones through a bit of a redesign I might like them more. However it's not all that likely. I just think gray is a terrible, terrible uniform color.

    Reduced Duke coverage on the Worldwide Leader - one more reason to love ESPN's deal with the Big East.

    I know all the Cubs' numbers and faces anyway, but I'd still rather they put them on. They just looked dumb without the names.

    If I was a kicker/punter, I would absolutely try to stay in the limelight as much as possible to score dates. I am definitely that low.

    The Bulls jumped to the 3rd seed in the playoffs by winning last night thanks to the "top 3 seeds" rule. They're a game and a half behind Cleveland for the No. 1 seed.

    Excellent decision. He will likely be in or near the top five Heisman candidates preseason and should be guaranteed a first round selection next year if he repeats his numbers. I think that's highly debatable. Brohm, Ainge, Henne, and Booty are all likely to go ahead of him. The last spread QB taken in the first round was Losman and he's been very mediocre in the pros, not leading a lot of credence to spread offense QB's translating their collegiate success to the pro game. Drew Brees is doing ok so far.

    Irish lose 102-87. :(
  9. Andy
    Irish won't be winning this game and they don't deserve to. They've had chances to cut the lead from 7 at least four times in the last couple minutes and every single time they've managed to get the ball stolen from them.

    Irish down 8 with 10 to play...

    I know it's inevitable that it'll happen, but I don't like when the pollsters put a team higher just because of their schedule for next season. What does that have to do with how good the team actually is? That logic got West Virginia starting off in the top 5 last year which IMO was very suspect at the time.

    ESPN.com confirming that Marty Schottenheimer will NOT be fired by San Diego. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2734129

    Terrible deal for the Pacers. Harrington's pretty darn good, Jasikevicius is improving, and all they get is a guy who averages 8 and 6 with a mammoth contract (Murphy) and Dunleavy + filler? I guess that factors out the Pacers in the Central Division race.

    Wow, I didn't realize LaRoche was so good.

    I think this time was a rarity since there've been a spate of new NL parks compared to the AL and Bud wanted to get them all All-Star games as soon as possible. I've never understood that line of thinking. The All-Star game should be held in the best stadiums, not just throwing them all around at whoever builds a new one. As for Wrigley, it last hosted one in 1990. It's gonna be at least another decade before it comes back, methinks.

    Wow. Go Sammy!

    If the Bears were crappy and nowhere near the playoffs, would you guys be flooding the NFC Title Game thread? There's a difference between the volume of posts directed towards a team and how much you actually like them. Heck, I barely talked about Carolina this year outside of the weekly game threads because there was nothing to say. But they're just behind ND and the Cubs in how fervently I root for them.

    Carrie Muskat confirmed this sometime last summer, I believe.

    That's just sad. Don't forget Ted Lilly. Pays to stay healthy I guess... Or have been a free agent.
  20. Andy
    If that's all it takes, we've already got the division sewn up. :wink:

    That's just sad. Don't forget Ted Lilly.

    I didn't think ARam loved the Cubs enough to throw 20-30 mil in the trash either. Give him 6/96. Give him it right now.

    ND is at Villanova tonight. It's only their second true road game of the season and they got clobbered in their first one, so I'm a little worried. The double whammy of ESPNU and a night class will keep me from watching it for myself though.

    I had the "pleasure" to watch NIU's game on Saturday against Central Michigan. Uh, wow. They flat out suck. That game on Saturday was probably the worst game I've ever seen on any level. They look that bad. James Hughes has all of the skills to be a great college player, yet he has no focus and no motivation. Mike McKinney is a good player at times, but also can be a very bad player at times. The rest of the team lacks basic basketball fundamentals and that all stems from the head coach. How this team got so bad in one year, I have no idea. Am I crazy or was there a Marcus McKinney at NIU that wore the same number? I'm guessing I'm nuts and it's the same guy but I thought there was one already. That guy #10, Paradise, can really shoot the trey - we would've probably run away with it early but for him, Lipkins and McKinney draining threes the entire first half.

    Jeter and Rivera both crossed the $10m line in arbitration years ago. They settled before the actual case, but that fact alone is enough to drive up later awards. Maddux settled at the $13m in arbitration a few years ago. While that's different than Zambrano's case, it's relavent. Don't they compared 6-year arbitration guys to everybody, as opposed to just other arbitration guys? I don't think 15.5m is all that outlandish, not with multiple pitchers making more than that. I would think he stands a chance to win the case, especially if the Cubs offer is just $11m. Had they gone to $12-13, I'd bet they'd win. But that is where they'll settle. Give Z 14M, then start negotiating something like a 6-year deal at 16 per if you can work it.
