  1. Hitoshi Tamura bunts and ends up grounding into a double play :D Man on 2nd with 2 out now.
  2. 1st and 2nd no one out for the Japanese. :x
  3. The MVP of the Classic so far, Beltre, comes up with the bases juiced.
  4. Wow, great pitch to ring up Endy Chavez.
  5. Sweet, Venezuela is busting out their kick-ass red jerseys again tonight.
  6. How come we couldn't ever get decent major leaguers who could consistantly hit .300 for minor league pitching when that was all we had to offer a few years ago? Too reluctant to trade the pitching. Now most of that pitching has been injured and/or didn't pan out. I blame the scouting dept who hasn't been able to help Hendry recognize when to make a trade or not. The Cubs haven't traded a minor leaguer at their peak value yet. Sanchez? Beltran? Choi? Bobby Hill too...
  7. Airs on ESPN2 at 12:30 am CT. Go Mexico!!!! Edited to add gametime to the thread title
  8. Now THIS ought to be fun. Winner goes on, loser goes home (or Mesa, or Scottsdale, or St. Petersburg...)
  9. There's a better than decent chance that this would be the most anticipated, watched and heated national title game ever if it actually came to fruition.
  10. My 12 was Utah State over Washington... My double-digit seeded Sweet 16 team is Wisconsin-Milwaukee... And my surprise Final Four team is West Virginia. I wholeheartedly expect none of these three to work out.
  11. So am I. But that includes Memphis, and that's why I picked Raisin's Bruins to go to the title game.
  12. Everything about Gwynn was bigger at the end of his career, though... I agree with K-Town, though. There's no reason to be banning Mac and Sammy until we get something more concrete than "look at their behavior at the Congressional hearing and look at their muscles".
  13. Today's Sun-Times blurb stated that the Cubs are leaning towards another simulated game rather than him making an ST start, but they still insist he'll be ready for April 5th.
  14. Hopefully when Illinois lands a great 2007 recruiting class and they play together for two years. Even though that UNC game sucks (mostly because I think Illinois played really bad in the first half), that Arizona game is still one of my favorite all time memories of college basketball. Sadly enough, my favorite college basketball memory isn't even a post-season one - gotta go with the week in December 2002 when Notre Dame beat #10 Marquette, #5 Maryland and #2 Texas in the span of 7 days. That was outstanding.
  15. No. other than buck being a complete idiot, why wouldn't they play one of the best hitters on the team in this, such a pivitol game? There is really no other reason. But hopefully today's performance convinced him to play DLee at first from now on, and to hell with spreading around the PT.
  16. I'm You Just Got Pittsnogled. (I'm buying that shirt if he somehow ends up on the Bulls after the draft) And I have three Big East teams in the Final Four, which I'm sure I'll regret, but I'm sticking with my guns.
  17. To tie the game, Tex would have to break his 0-12 streak...
  18. If DLee doesn't play every inning of every game for the rest of this WBC...
  19. No DLee in the lineup today. :(
  20. I severely doubt anyone's beating UConn in the tournament this year.
  21. On a related note, Chad Cordero was 2-4 last year. What a useless pitcher. :wink:
  22. The bottom 4 teams in the Big East are worse than any of the 11 in the Big Ten. Rutgers is worse than everyone but Purdue. That's why the Big 10 is a better conference. Inside sources tell me that DePaul beat 5-seed Syracuse by over 30 points just two weeks ago. I'd wager that Purdue can't beat anyone in the Big Ten, and probably not anyone in the major conferences outside the basement teams, by that much even on their very best day. And St. John's and Providence are no slouches either. Of course, since these conferences don't tangle that much, we can really just throw around numbers. The Big 10 went 6-4 against the Big East this year 6 wins: Illinois over Rutgers Illinois over Georgetown Michigan over ND Michigan over USF Northwestern over Seton Hall Wisconsin over Marquette 4 losses: UConn over IU DePaul over Northwestern Pitt over Penn St Pitt over Wisconsin Most of those games went exactly how they should. The Big Ten went 3-2 in the 5 games between teams of relatively equal strength (in italics). Personally, I'll stick with the Big East because of UConn and Nova...but to each their own.
  23. The Big Ten is not the number 1 conference in America. Absolutely no reasonable analyst disagrees that the Big East is. Cincy goes from a 7 seed to out. ND, IMO, was a better team this year than last and yet they finish 12th in the Big East whereas they were 6th last year. Plus the Big East has two 1 seeds.
