    I know, I think they look awesome too but it is one of the few that they don't sell at the WBC web site :( I saw, for the first time today, someone walking around with a Team USA hat on. It actually looked pretty cool even independent of the WBC and I might get one.

    Nothing quite like joy you get from MLB Gameday when you see the words "run scoring play". :D It really is one of the best phrases in baseball. :)

    YESSSSSS

    This may be the only time I ever root for a Korean team, so let's make it count!!!!

    Through 7, and one runner has gotten past second base.

    He can play there, and there also seems to be a spot that Grissom appears to be destined for, who can also back up the position. Pierre doesn't miss a lot of games either, and if he were to go down for an extended period, the backup's strength probably wouldn't matter because it would be Pie taking Pierre's spot. TT's probably right, but I expect Pierre to play at least 150 games in CF this year, and quite possibly all 162.

    Bottom 4th inning, 5 combined hits. This is kinda boring.

    Based on this first inning, I'd wager that we won't be seeing a Japan score more than 7 or give up more than 8 performance, so Korea needs to win. Koreans have Chan Ho Park so there's the possibility that in a fight he might karate-kick someone...
  9. Andy
    Five players in Korea's lineup are named Lee. We're in good hands. :D

    ND beats Vandy 79-69 in the first round of the NIT and will either host UTEP or go to Michigan in the 2nd round on Monday (wild guess is that it's the latter). Francis with 23 and 10. If he played like that all year, we'd be playing tomorrow or Friday.

    Not even sure of what this means. I guess you are saying that Baseball is as important as religion. Or that by moving to India one should change religions, which isn't my point. My point is the exact opposite. You are a christian because you were born in America to a chritian family. you didn't choose to become christian, somebody else did that for you. Actually you are very wrong. Some people with feeble minds are born into religion and don't question it, but for most of the people I know, they came to their religious actualization on their own. They choose to be Hindu, or Bhuddist or Catholic, or Lutheran, or whatever. Nobody else did it for them. I was born into religion and I don't feel all that feeble-minded about it.

    I converted from being a Braves fan in 1999, a couple years after I moved from South Carolina to Indiana, because I felt a closer bond with the Cubs. My parents didn't pass down to me any teams besides Notre Dame, so I had to make my own hay everywhere else.

    If wins were as important as you claim, you should know that Carlos's career high is 16, not 14. Ah, he was probably thinking of the other Cubs young pitcher that's unfairly blasted for not having enough wins (Wood, whose career high wins is in fact 14).

    MVC schools have the best shot IMO: Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, Wichita State i'll agree with you there. SIU and WSU are in the Sweet 16 on most of my brackets and UNI is in the 2nd round on most of mine as well. Billy Packer dissents. :wink:
  15. Andy
    Considering the apparent value of Todd Walker, Barrett might not have as much value as we might think.
  16. Andy
    MVC schools have the best shot IMO: Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, Wichita State The answer is the same as last year: Wisconsin-Milwaukee. How are they going to stop Gray and Bookout with only one guy over 6-7 averaging double digit minutes? I don't know, how'd they stop Dudley and Smith for BC last year? Doing deep analysis for things only ends up causing me to out-think myself.
  17. Andy
    See, I'm the other way around. I fill out one bracket, and use that bracket for every pool I'm in. Filling out multiple brackets may help you win, but if it's not for money, what's the point? It takes all the skill out of it by having five different brackets in my opinion. Had this discussion at work today (slow day in the stock market). One guy said he could take the time to fill out every single bracket combination possible, that way he'd be guaranteed to win. But would he really have won? Hell, I'm in pools for money and I'm using the same one every time. I wouldn't be as proud of my 2003 bracket that had Butler in the sweet 16 and Syracuse in the title game if it had been just one of many different combinations I used. And yeah I'll probably be ruined by Saturday. Oh well. 8)

    Haha, we got Aramis Ramirez for him

    Andy replied to davew71's topic in General Baseball Talk

    It's hard to say that, right now. He's not quite 25 years old yet, and he's shown steady progress in his minor league career. If he was an average defensive outfielder right now (something he's never worked on), he'd probably be headed for a spot on the 25-man roster right now. If he impresses offensively at Memphis, and if he can learn to play an adequate outfield, then he's got a chance. It's not a GREAT chance, but it's a chance, nontheless. He's certainly not going to be worse than So Taguchi or John Rodriguez, offensively. Say something negative about the Cardinals. Once. If I were a Cards fan, I wouldn't bother doing this. Their management always seems to know what they're doing, unlike some. :?

    Moises wears his emotions on his sleeve, and I don't think his reaction should have been all that surprising to anyone. Plus, he apologized for his reaction before Game 7. Bottom line is that Gonzalez had the highest F% of all NL shortstops in 2003 and that was a routine grounder. Even distracted, any competent player should be expected to make that play.
  22. Andy
    I think I have to go with the "blow it up" crowd. Build around Prior, Z, Ramirez, Lee, Barrett and our young guys (Murton, Cedeno, Hill, Pie, et al), and go for young talent via trades, draft and FA. This group as presently assembled has little chance of going anywhere in the near future.
  23. Andy
    You do know that thing's rigged, right? They'll take you deep on the 3rd pitch every single time. My friend threw it at Barry's head and he still went yard. (Although knowing what he puts in his body, that's not entirely illogical...)

    BSU head coach Tim Buckley was fired today. Inevitable after the new athletic director came in and Buckley had a 10-18 season in response. Despite the program's recent struggles, BSU still becomes one of, if not the top opening at a mid-major school this off-season. It will be interesting to see if AD Tom Collins makes a "safe" hire or tries to make a big splash for his first major task at Ball State.

    Your printer is broken but the Cubs won't let you know for 3 weeks. LMFAO :lol: Try the "Towel Trick"... I think maybe we need the printer to have a few more simulated prints before we can make a decision on whether it will print properly or not. Good idea. But it's NOT an injury. It's just a program designed to built up toner strength. We still expect the printer to make its first scheduled printing in three weeks.
