I suspect that if the draft actually played out this way, Carolina would trade down because there's any number of ways they can go here. But as it is, I think they try to fill out the front four and take Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri.
If the Cubs were supposed to contend, it'd be really cool if they would ditch the 'closer' role entirely - but I'm sure Theo's hoping someone will overpay him for a closer at the deadline, so they probably won't ditch it.
Soriano did not stink last year, so if he stinks now, it's not "still." When you look at his contract he did. He's a tremendous bust. Soriano did force Hendry at gunpoint to sign him to the deal, so I guess you have a point.
Shark saw that 69 percent figure for Cubs' pitchers giving up runs in a 1st/2nd nobody out situation and said "[expletive] that, I'm Jeff Samardzija, damn it." Slick pitching.
I'm interested to check out the feature where you can overlay a radio broadcast over video. If there's a game where Len and JD aren't available, I'll definitely give that a look.
The NCAA tournament ticker mentions Michigan's 1993 Final Four appearance as their last one, even though the NCAA itself ordered that appearance vacated. Good to know even the NCAA doesn't take that 'punishment' seriously.
Yeah, so much for the Big Ten being the nation' best basketball conference this year. They still were. The NCAAs being used as the be-all end-all measure for conferences is an annual source of annoyance for me. I see your point however, I really believed they'd have two teams in the Final Four further validating the Big Ten as the best. It's been 4 years since a conference had two Final Four teams - and before that it had been another 4 years. It just doesn't happen that much.
