  1. I knew it was over when they had Curry bring the ball up. All tournament he's been killing teams by catch and shooting off screens and they have him bring it up instead? Meh. Should be a good Final 4 though. Then again, I said that about the three 1/2-1/3 regional finals and only one of those ended up being anything less than a reaming.
  2. Peyton Stovall for Senior C.L.A.S.S. award! :D Gonna miss that guy.
  3. The only way this ridiculously un-entertaining weekend can be salvaged is a buzzer-beating game winner for Gus, preferably by Stephen Curry.
  4. My theory is the Cubs will get rid of two of Marquis/Dempster/Lieber by the deadline and put Marshall back in the rotation.
  5. Prior gets unfairly lumped in with Prior. Well, yeah, that too.
  6. Ridiculous. Who exactly 'overrates' him, anyway? The guy gets way more crap than he deserves for his injuries and usually gets unfairly lumped in with Prior. Kerry, please get like 50 saves with an ERA below 2.50 and shut this guy up.
  7. Short of everything Florida athletics, I can't think of a more spoiled fanbase in the last three years than UCLA basketball. You suck, my friend. Thanks. I'm enjoying every moment of it...my junior year was the worst season in UCLA basketball history since before WWII and my senior season was only marginally better. This is just amazing. Yeah, well Ball State beat UCLA on back to back nights in men's volleyball a few weeks ago...I think we both know which is the superior university. Don't forget the time we beat them in the 2001 Maui Invite! We've so got them covered.
  8. That would be never in the 64/65-team era.
  9. This is getting fun.
  10. Under any normal circumstance, UNC (the team I hate more than any other) slapping around a team from the Big East would be cause for anger. Alas, I have UNC winning it all. I feel dirty.
  11. Short of everything Florida athletics, I can't think of a more spoiled fanbase in the last three years than UCLA basketball. You suck, my friend.
  12. I have never ever ever been more excited for a Cubs season. I say that almost every year. But it keeps being true. <---------------- I BELIEVE!
  13. Top seeds need to win tonight. If I can beat my three roommates and one of the roommate's fiancee in our minipool, I get 2 bucks from each of them which will at least keep me from losing money this March (and I remain in first despite yesterday's carnage).
  14. Fielded a high bouncer barehand with two on and nobody out (no worries, it wasn't going fast enough to do any damage like the ones Z barehands), wheeled around and started a DP. Then mowed down the next guy on 3 pitches to end the game. Pretty awesome.
  15. I want the Opening Day thread, Vance!
  16. Sick. My man-crush on Wood figures to grow with more ABs like the last two.
  17. There are batters better equipped to come through in the clutch than others. The vast majority of the time, those batters are the ones who are better hitters anyway. That's what I have determined after a long time of researching the matter.
  18. The fans picked the Office Depot ad for the Cubs to come onto the field to this season. The lesson, as always: Never leave anything up to the fans. Ever.

    The NBA thread

    Bulls can go ahead and lose out now
  20. I acknowledge your discovery of that tidbit, Rob. :twisted:
  21. Yeah Theriot is another Neifi except he plays all out and doesn't make stupid boneheaded mistakes. And Theriot scored 80 runs last year. If he batted leadoff all year he would score 110. Thats not worthless. Theriot isn't great by any stretch of the imagination but he has okay. You can't have a Sori or anything close to it at every position. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What would you put an "OK" player in the slot that sees the most AB's? "Plays all out" means zilch. And please explain how Theriot is "mistake-free" and Neifi was making them left and right in such stark contrast? THEY'RE BOTH AWFUL BASEBALL PLAYERS WHO SHOULD NOT START. Who should bat lead off instead??? Yet to see you suggest one. We just don't have a better option. DeRosa. Fukudome. Soriano. Any hitter on this 25-man roster, save perhaps Pie (keep the pressure off him) and Fontenot is a better option than Theriot.
  22. Same reason DeRosa isn't hitting leadoff. They both make far too much more sense than Theriot doing it.
  23. Good Michigan State over Memphis pick, Andy. *pats self on back*
