    If the Bullsa had a kobe or a boston three party (yeah I said it), they could get away with Hinrich at PG for a few more years

    I've heard some good things about the six freshman coming in. It'll be interesting to see if they can start rebuilding the program since theyll all be together for so long. However, I won't be surprised if Anderson isn't around to see them graduate. He needs to make the postseason (even NIT) sometime within the next two years or he's probably gone. I am not sure how good the South will be either. Texas will still be solid, but not near as good as last season. Texas, OU, and Baylor will all be pretty good, IMO. Not title contenders, but ranked teams, unless they've lost players and I forgot. I can't remember who aTm lost and who they have coming in. Nebraska has a shot at being ok in the North. OU has been getting a lot of top-10 love this preseason. Willie Warren, Blake Griffin and Tony Crocker is a pretty good threesome, along with that UCLA bigman transfer whose name I can never remember (ryan wright?). The timing is right for us to make a deep run in the big 12.

    wow, dye is slow as hell, but he had a nice game in the field

    fingers crossed and now contreras is getting wild.

    that was a real pretty swing by Soto, getting him back on track would help. And the little guy adds another, gotta keep hitting the ball hard.

    I get what people are saying about Hill but is anyone actually expecting him to pitch for us this year? He's been ruined, IMO. No, I'm not expecting it at all, just point out that we're in a tough spot at the moment that only time, or some fortunate performances from unexpected places will get us out of

    We were bound for a swoon, anyway. Our best starter is on the DL, our second best starter is in extended spring training, our leftfielder is on the dl... these things happen. Just wait till we get healthy again and hopefully get a No. 2 starter in a trade.

    Did Hawk get the score wrong? I thought he said that's nine, meaning the ninth grand slam in the history of the series. Ahh, good catch, i was busy lighting myself on fire so i must have missed that.
  13. imb
    on a positive note, hawk just got the score wrong and called nick swisher "steve swisher"
  14. imb
    that's not good
  15. imb
    yowza

    Caddyshack 1941 i thought it was platoon

    The problem with that is, if ESPN goes into something with a critical eye, they get a couple of blowhards to just rip something without actualy giving it any real thought. i'd rather have a couple of guys like van gundy, who i actually like a lot, to just blow smoke up my ass and let me make up my own mind about these picks

    LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL as if on cue

    Are you talking about Mayo? That's pretty ridiculous. I'm happier with the Westbrook pick then I would have been with Lopez . Well if the Clippers don't pick Lopez and announce the trade then you're good. I'm fully expecting that to happen.

    Agreed. Hendry should never have signed him to the contract he did, and he's definitely the first guy bumped from the rotation. I just don't get the Estes-level hate for someone who isn't close to Estes-level bad. There's gonna be estes-level hate for someone, might as well be the worst starter in the rotation

    WHIP is such a bad stat. It's the batting-average of pitchers. His FIP going into today was 4.50, almost dead even with his ERA. No BABIP luck or anything like that in there. Is it really? I'm sway-able on this. 1.5 just seems exceedingly high to have such an average ERA. He's 3/4 of a runs over the NL league average ERA. I was talking about heading into today. His WHIP was 1.47 and his ERA was like 4.50. It's a good point about his groundball rate, I remember, maybe wrongly, that his groundball rate was headed in the wrong direction the last few years so I was assuming it was still trending down that way.

    With a whip heading into the 1.5s, I imagine his ERA has come with a fair bit of luck to this point. I'd love to kick his ass to long relief, but who takes his spot?

    Yeah, he's a big country boy from the smallest of small towns. Population under 900 if I remember right.
