  1. I don't think so and I really like Tennessee. With them and Butler I at least have two teams to pull for in the tournament. Memphis is a good matchup for them. Their defense is just so reliant on forcing turnovers (although not tonight). It depends on the bracket but if they play a good team that takes care of the ball and has an interior threat, I think they're in trouble. I wouldn't like their chances against UCLA or Kansas. UCLA worries me a little bit - I watched a little today and it seemed like a team with a really good big man would be able to stop Kevin Love. But you make a good point. Part of me thinks that ND would be a really good dark horse pick for somebody (inside and outside scoring, can shoot the 3 but don't necessarily rely on it, tremendous point guard play, free-flowing offense with few turnovers), but even if I wanted to I could never pick ND to go to the Final Four. I'd feel like I was jinxing them.
  2. My source says they didn't want to distract people from tonight's No. 1 vs No. 2 in college b-ball.
  3. I already thought Tenn might be my championship pick but I really think it's looking likely now. Also, on a purely selfish note, ND's home win streak moves to 2nd longest in the nation. :D Hopefully they extend it tomorrow afternoon against the Cuse.
  4. On a horsecrap call. Drake up 2 with 17 seconds to go and the shot clock running down, Drake's player throws himself at Mike Green while chucking a 3, doesn't even hit Green and gets the call anyway. I'm not a Butler fan but that was simply awful.
  5. I'm surprised Meph was so low on my Greene pick, though I thought it was a reach myself - I wanted a hitting SS.
  6. Same here. Bearded Lee looks good. That last DLee picture gave me a Greg Oden vibe. Maybe because I've seen that ESPN The Mag ad with Oden about 20 times today.
  7. It took about two weeks for DeRo to become one of my favorite Cubs last year, and it's to the point where he's right behind Lee, Z and Ramirez now. He really seems like an awesome guy.
  8. UConn finally lost one of those close games (they were all kinds of due), so ND is now 3rd by themselves in the Big East. A win vs Syracuse tomorrow and the Irish can keep pace with Louisville and Georgetown.
  9. I'd bet that IU's 7 players still beat NW by double digits
  10. 6th Rnd 61. Garrett Atkins 62. Felix Hernandez
  11. 49. Scott Kazmir 50. Francisco Liriano 51. John Smoltz 52. John Lackey 53. Chris Young (the outfielder) 54. Curtis Granderson 55. Brian McCann 56. Ian Kinsler 57. Magglio Ordonez 58. Jorge Posada 59. Khalil Greene
  12. The ebay route can be tricky. I'd wait assuming you can afford to pay off the CC or assuming that you have one with a low interest rate. But the longer you wait, the more it's going to cost you in interest, so it might be better to unload now. When selling on Ebay, keep in mind how much ebay is going to charge and the take paypal will get. Well, I used a debit card so I have no interest to worry about...I was just curious if I'd be better off pulling the trigger now or waiting until April. I sort of went in between last year with my extras and I feel like I could've gotten more by doing one or the other.
  13. Any advice for people putting extras on Ebay? I want to maximize return and am unsure as to when to put them up to do that. Note: I'll sell these four 4/30 bleachers vs Milwaukee for 50 a pop now if someone on the board wants them, failing that I'll go the Ebay route.
  14. I'm in too, let me know if you need something
  15. Only gotten 3 of my 5 e-mails so far, but I assume that's not of grave concern yet.
  16. Solid, I probably won't make much money off 4 bleachers for 4/30 vs Milwaukee but I can at least get something. Anyone know when the best time to EBay these things is?
  17. I'm in too...anyone need something?
  18. Got a bleacher for meet-up day (still the 10th, right?) If someone wants to double their odds and let me know what they're looking for I'm still VWRing.
  19. Well, I had to punch through the high transaction volume a gazillion times but got 3 bleachers to the last game I needed. Now I just need meet-up tickets.
  20. I have two sets of three bleachers apiece for the Orioles series but I'm missing the middle game (Wed. 6/25) so if anyone has that game let me know. I couldn't get meet-up day tickets, but I'm sure Vance will cover us all on that front. I think I'm done. I had crappy luck and managed to get two of the three games I wanted and I really can't afford to be doing this anyway.
  21. 20 mins and nothing...I was at least hoping to make money on one high-demand game...
  22. 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?
  24. 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.
