If we draft Morrison I will disavow this team. There's no question in my mind that he is not going to be a great pro, and probably not even a very good one. He can't create spacing from anyone. Anyway - Bulls up 9 now with under 9 minutes left. Hinrich is playing brilliant basketball with 13 points, 12 assists and 7 steals. And for the record - Philly plays Detroit tomorrow.

I can assist if you find it a bit too much of a load.

Dusty Basically just said Pagan is on the team.

Nomar is a beast? Nomar is a shell of his former self with no chance of being a solid full-time shortstop. His spring training hot streak fooled a lot of people into thinking he was back to his original self. Who's to say he wouldn't have been over the full season had the Groin Rip not occurred? After all, he started raking when he came back in a much larger sample size of AB's than his pre-injury season. -
Tigers Release Carlos Pena

As a guy who scooped Shelton in one of the final rounds in his fantasy draft... :joker: Celebration! -
Wellemeyer to the Marlins

I can't wait for Lincoln Holdzkom and Rubby Perez to come out with their first joint CD. This is the beginning of a beautiful partnership. -

Andy replied to moorecg's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Pagan is a better hitter than Goodwin, but probably not as SB-efficient. I'd be surprised and pleased if Pagan could steal bases as well as Goodwin did in 2003. -
In fairness to the Cubs and Prior, this is easily the quickest that one of Prior's arm issues has eased to the point where he can throw again. I'd expect him back by mid-May at the very latest.
-
Give him time.
-
Nice straw man. I think Paxson will make the team better this off season. Overpaying for a name player won't accomplish that, and Paxson's moves to date suggest he recognizes that. I would trade both the picks in a Garnett deal though. I used to think that too but Garnett is acting more and more like T.O. lately. And if we know one thing about Paxson and Skiles, we know they hate guys that aren't total team guys.
-
I have no worries about Murton. He's done nothing but rake the whole time he's been in the Cub organization. But what's with "no doubt about it"? Why does everyone say that on this team and who started it?
-
Wow. What happened to the manic genius of La Russa? This is downright Dusty-esque.
-
Haha, that was actually good. For my money, Jenks. A lot of people are prone to get into fights. Only one lights his arm on fire.
-
He's on the list. Oops. Sorry Serena, give me Thome instead I guess.
-
Finally a Prior injury turns out to not be a big deal (at least on the Cubs Pitcher Scale).
-
Yes, 6 out of 8 in my pool failed to get one right, and I was the only one that has a final two team left (also UCLA). This is ridiculous. I've been to the ESPN Zone in Chicago a couple of times, once last July and once for this year's Duke-UNC game at Cameron, and I honestly can't think of a better place to watch March Madness. The ESPN burger is the best burger I've had anywhere and there's at least 12 different television feeds broadcasting at once, any one of which you can watch (on a short delay) from your booth on a miniature screen. It's a fantastic place (not sure if the Vegas one is any different).

"As far as I know, I'm coming back", said LaMarcus Aldridge in today's Austin American-Statesman. Figures that we'd get a top 3 pick in the Year of No Can't-Misses. Would any of the guys currently being floated as top picks even have been top 5 in the Wade-Melo-LeBron-Hinrich draft?
-
Got to go with Florida thanks to the Noah factor. Florida/LSU would be a fantastic title game IMO.
-
And we thought our starting pitching looked rough...
Andy replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in General Baseball Talk
Agree with you. I remember someone here last year laughing because Ensberg was the cleanup hitter.....turns out, that worked out OK for them to. IMO Ensberg is quite possibly the most underrated player in the league. He puts up top-tier 3B numbers but never gets mentioned among the best at the position. -
Dude. Fantastic sig. :lol:
-
Vance, I'll humbly suggest this one: http://i12.ebayimg.com/01/i/06/9c/cd/8f_1.JPG
-
Count me firmly against Paul Davis. Take Aldridge, and hope Tyrus or some other good player somehow falls to us at #15. And I too would rather have a sweep against Detroit than another lottery pick that really wouldn't be any more beneficial than our 8th-seed pick.
-
In six years of picking brackets, I am now 6 for 6 on my national champion being gone before the Final 4. Four of those times they were gone before the Elite 8. And this is at least the third time I've gotten one Final Four team or less right. Bad times. Edit - And yet I won my ESPN.com Tournament Challenge pool (I'm in 1st and I'm the only one who has one of their final two alive in UCLA). That's how crazy this tournament has been.
-
I have to pick Florida to win it all from here. They've overwhelmed all comers so far, and they have the best remaining player in the tourney in Joakim Noah. That said, my avatar reveals my true allegiances from here. I'm jealous of anyone who goes to George Mason.
-
I like Z's passion too, but when it gets him ejected from games that doesn't help him or the team. By the way, he was ejected last year for ridiculing the home plate umpire. He has already turned his temper on the umpires. I know that. I'm saying he needs to stop that and stick to showing emotion in his own direction.
