    Exactly-it's not like the Cubs aren't likely to release him in about 14 days anyway.
  2. CubColtPacer
    I don't know what you expected but that is about as bad a line as it gets. Maybe he expected him to be more like these NL East players who got at least 100 AB's: Pete Orr-.253/.277/.344 Todd Pratt-.207/.272/.341 Alfredo Amezaga-.260/.332/.332 Matt Treanor-.229/.328/.318 Reggie Abercrombie-.212/.271/.333 Lastings Milledge-.241/.310/.380 Chris Woodward-.211/.289/.311 Kazuo Matsui-.200/.235/.269 Sal Fasano-.243/.284/.386 Abraham Nunez-.211/.303/.277 Jose Guillen-.216/.276/.398 Robert Fick-.266/.324/.344 Marlon Byrd-.223/.317/.350 Damian Jackson-.198/.295/.371 Royce Clayton-.269/.315/.348 Brian Schneider-.256/.320/.329 Bernie Castro-.227/.286/.291 When your 25th man who just made the team because of a hot ST beats the line of 17 position players in one division with similar at-bats, that's probably a little above expectations. Also, it is not nearly the worst line someone can get-there are at least several on there that are much worse, and if the other 5 divisions were looked at I'd bet there were at least 30-40 more around the majors. Now, that doesn't mean Pagan is good-the mere fact that he exceeded expecations with his .700 is enough to make him easily expendable. He wasn't a unique bench player with his line though-just about every major league bench has a couple of players that are around or below that line.

    Who would be the last middle infielder then? It certainly sounds like the Cubs are looking for a young middle infielder just as much or more than a veteran.

    This is a fascinating article about how a group of officials from the NCAA monitors certain aspects of the tournament: http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070316/SPORTS/703160429/1004/SPORTS Here are a few snippets I found interesting: Talking about the same thing: And one more:

    Kids these days. Everything too early. My senior prom was the 3rd week of May and, I might add, coincided with the 2005 Cubs-Sox series at Wrigley. Needless to say I had my radio with me that weekend... What? Sammy? Oh, right. I hope that he plays beyond 2007 and is able to get one more at-bat at Wrigley, just so he knows that not every fan wearing blue was ready to run him out of town. Either way, though, here's to a big 2007 for Sammy. First, :D at the bolded part. Second, if Roast's school is consistent with schools a little farther south in the same state (and his prom is) then his school probably finishes their school year around the end of the third or 4th week of May, which is why they cannot possibly have prom then. On topic, I don't want to see Sammy come back to Wrigley as a player. I'm not sure of the reaction he'd get. I'd rather wait a couple years and have him come back with some sort of retirement ceremony where I'm much more sure he'll get a positive reaction. The worst thing would be to see him come back as a player and get booed by any significant section of the crowd-that's just not a situation that I would want to risk.

    Good win for IU-but the next game will be a lot harder.
  7. CubColtPacer
    They just switched me back to the NC game because Carolina's lead has been cut from 27 to 5 now. They were up 39-12, and now as I'm writing this it's 48-42 after a UNC free throw.
  8. CubColtPacer
    The difference between the current IU group and the good IU team of the middle of the year is Lance Stemler. He is usually a good 3 point shooter-the last 2 months, he hasn't been able to hit anything-even wide open. I mean, he's awful right now. That means that if either Stemler or Mike White is in the game right now, IU is playing 4 on 5 on offense.
  9. CubColtPacer
    LOL-and me-I'm not sure why I believed, but I did-it's looking like I really messed up that little section of the bracket unless Wright State can come back.
  10. CubColtPacer
    Good half by the Hoosiers. Also, a nice job by Wright State to at least make it competitive again so far against Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh was up 13-0 at one point, and it certainly was possible that Wright State could not get back within 10 again. Even if they get blown out later, that's still a good effort to get back in the game after that awful start.
  11. CubColtPacer
    Yeah, they do-they lead the Big 10 in both 3's attempted and 3 point percentage. Their offense consists of either DJ White on a post up or 3 pointers by everybody else-they really don't have anybody who can drive it on a regular basis. Of course, 14 3 pointers this early is high-but they are hitting them, and that will cause them to keep firing.
  12. CubColtPacer
    If it's the guy that it probably is, no-he has been suspended until at least next season.
  13. CubColtPacer
    They made I believe 16 3 pointers against Gonzaga last year-they are going after that record. BTW, James Brown can't get anything right, and when they went back to Greg Gumbel he said that they were heading out to the North Carolina game, the "last tip of the night"-hey Greg, remember Pitt?
  14. CubColtPacer
    From watching the first 4 minutes of the Indiana-Gonzaga game, it looks like it will come down to who can hit more from the outside-both teams want to be perimeter oriented.
  15. CubColtPacer
    That hit was completely unintentional-but it would have earned Kobe a suspension if it was the NBA :D
  16. CubColtPacer
    Neitzel just hit one of the most improbable shots I have ever seen-from the corner, he shot an 18 footer over a defender-it hit the top corner on top of the backboard, and then bounced directly into the net for 2.
  17. CubColtPacer
    They just showed a graphic of the foul situation for Michigan State-one of the players was the guy who dislocated his elbow. I don't think he's coming back, CBS.
  18. CubColtPacer
    Duke just had an obvious over and back violation and the referee was standing right there and didn't call it.
  19. CubColtPacer
    Well, the 3 other games have been at halftime for the last 15 minutes.
  20. CubColtPacer
    I've only seen a few Marquette shots hit the rim-half of their shots haven't been anywhere close, and they have 2-3 turnovers as well.
  21. CubColtPacer
    It's the haves and have nots for the Cubs today-half the squad either has at least 2 times on base or at least 2 RBI's, and the other 4-Lee, Barrett, DeRosa, and Izturis are 0 for 10 with 5 K's and 2 GIDP's.
  22. CubColtPacer
    Well, apparently Soriano started off with a triple. And then Jones singled him in.
  23. CubColtPacer
    Officially, he has 2 errors now-I do agree though that he has struggled at times in the field so far in ST.
  24. CubColtPacer
    That might help you-the occasional person has them going out in the 2nd round, but most people probably having them go farther than the sweet 16.
  25. CubColtPacer
    Butler hits 3's on 3 straight possessions on way to a 6 point lead with 9 minutes to go.
