  1. 20 mins and nothing...I was at least hoping to make money on one high-demand game...
  2. Putting aside the asinine idea of Theriot hitting 2nd, I really like having Fukudome hitting ahead of Lee and Ramirez. Lots of RBI chances for them.

    The NBA thread

    Sunday night vs. Houston on ESPN and then March 2nd at Cleveland on ABC. They were supposed to be on ESPN tomorrow vs. Denver - is that off?
  4. Overcoming a hot-shooting (at least the first 28 minutes or so) Pitt and Tim Higgins's most otherworldly display of awful officiating, Notre Dame extends the Joyce win streak to 35, 82-70 over Pitt. :D

    Duhon has played better lately, I'd rather keep him than a 2nd rounder that we'll use on someone who would've never played for the Bulls anyway.

    I don't mind this deal. Brown is intriguing (7 ppg in 15 mpg this season), Gooden is a decent presence inside to go with Thomas/Noah, and best of all, we dump Ben Wallace's worthless rear end. Lost Joe Smith, who I liked, but the Bulls will be a better team for this deal.
  7. Haha, IU is now being head coached by a guy Ball State fired (Lynch) and now by a guy Ball State fans hated (Dakich, when he was at BG). I draw enjoyment from this fact.
  8. Almost makes me feel bad for how much I'm going to hate him in mid-June when his ERA is above 5...
  9. I said Ball State wouldn't win a lot of games...we'd have won a few more if Newell hadn't missed 9 games, but still, 5-20. I was on the money there. I said ND should be 13-0 heading into league play (oops) but could never have predicted they'd be in the running for a Big East title into late February - I was figuring middle of the road, 8-seed type season (which could still happen, lest I jinx them).
  10. I'm pretty sure Jacque found Sheffield in a game too.
  11. Panthers franchised Jordan Gross and are supposedly shopping DeShaun Foster (about effing time).
  12. BSU shot 13/24 from the free-throw line tonight and lost by 5. This team drives me insane.
  13. Paradoxically, I love the blues, hate the grays, but sort of enjoyed the 'white or gray' thing with no alternates last year. I'm a little conflicted at this news.
  14. The called shot, just because in actuality it probably never happened (Babe loved publicity and in all likelihood decided to play into the mythos later in his life when asked about it). Buckner. At that point in the game the Sox were losing no matter what happens. The number one overrated play of all time is that one foul ball that went uncaught about four and a half years ago.
  15. I am really getting sick of UConn playing like crap for 32 minutes, waking up for the last 8 and winning the game. They did it against USF and they did it tonight against DePaul. I guess I shouldn't talk considering ND's lucky escapes from Providence and Rutgers, but I would love a Big East title more than I can possibly put into words, and all these teams tied with us coming tantalizingly close to losing is making me crazy.
  16. 4th Rnd. 37. Justin Verlander 38. Erik Bedard
  17. 25. Derrek Lee 26. Russell Martin 27. Joe Mauer 28. Brandon Phillips 29. Brian Roberts 30. BJ Upton 31. Derek Jeter 32. Corey Hart 33. Josh Beckett 34. Manny Ramirez 35. Dan Haren
  18. Hey, Ball State's won 2 games in a row! 5-19 (4-8) Oh yeah, and ND barely escaped Rutgers 71-68 despite a complete stinkbomb from Harangody (he still had 10 and 8 but took 16 shots to get that 10). Tory Jackson, a dynamite point guard, had 17 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds in his best game as a collegian. 19-5 (9-3). That's not gonna cut it against Pitt, though.
  19. There wasn't much to argue about last offseason, to my recollection. Most of the moves Jimbo made were roundly endorsed or roundly criticized here.
  20. That's the first I'd heard of it. I'd thought he was a Purdue lean from the get-go.
  21. The 42 ticket limit has been around for at least a few years. This year will be the same as the last few and I don't think last year's division title will change much. I'd recommend seeing how far you can push your computer at 9:30 since you have 30 minutes before tickets actually go on sale. Install a tab manager like Tab Mix Plus, which will allow you to better manage a ton of VWR tabs in each Firefox window, and get a sense of what will work for your computer. If your computer gets really slow or crashes, you'd still have plenty of time to restart the test. Has anyone ever had luck with Firefox? I have never got through using them. Tried equal amount of windows of IE and Firefox last year. I never got through with Firefox. Could be coincidence though. I did pretty decently for myself through Firefox last year.
  22. 2nd Round 13. Grady Sizemore 14. Prince Fielder
  23. 1. Alex Rodriguez 2. Albert Pujols 3. Hanley Ramirez 4. Jose Reyes 5. Ryan Braun 6. David Wright 7. Chase Utley 8. Jimmy Rollins 9. Miguel Cabrera 10. Johan Santana 11. Matt Holliday
  24. OMG, so that's where our band got that insanely stupid "Boing! Boing! WOOO!" thing. That is the single dumbest thing I've ever seen/heard at a basketball game.
