  1. 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.
  2. Big time. Nice win for the Cubs today. Just keep Marmol the hell off the mound and we have the makings of a decent staff.
  3. 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.
  4. When you [expletive] suck as bad as Marmol, you won't get the borderline calls. Squeezed Russell too. Yeah, on that front he can screw off.
  5. 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.
  6. You must be in a league of fools or something. Anyone who knows anything about the Cubs coming in would've had their eye on Fujikawa.
  7. When you [expletive] suck as bad as Marmol, you won't get the borderline calls.
  8. At least they're yanking him. Never let him close again
  9. Worse Hendry contract giveaway: John Grabow or Marmol? I know it's really Grabow, but man is that Marmol deal ridiculous.
  10. Just a terrifically horrible strike call on that 3-1 pitch to Rizzo
  11. Actually, this is probably one of few threads this year that won't require Fred's presence.
  12. Now it feels like baseball season.
  13. Wow that 63% figure for our hitters in '12 is ghastly.
  14. 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.
  15. That Rizzo ball was a missile. Holy hell.
  16. 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.
  17. High of 41 with rain scheduled. I'd be surprised if it started on time in any case.
  18. All Sunday Night Baseball games are blacked out everywhere.
  19. Carrie Muskat posted a 'projected' lineup that is identical to that, save Lillibridge and Valbuena swapping places.
  20. 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.
  21. Florida Gulf Coast could have done this.
  22. 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.
