Playing without 3 starters who all fouled out, Mississippi State still upsets Kentucky in OT.
-
LOL-it did update right after I posted. Yup-Hill with a 3 run HR, and Theriot has added another hit and Murton a walk before Kinkade ended the 2nd-they are absolutely killing McCarthy.
-
In the Texas game, Colvin and Cedeno start off with hits, and Cedeno then steals 2nd-2nd and 3rd, nobody out, Dopirak up.
-
A strange free throw violation gave the ball back to Mississippi State with 10 seconds left, and a 3 at the buzzer then means that Kentucky and Mississippi State are going to OT.
-
Cotts gives up 2 hits in the first, but Teixeira grounds into a double play to end the first with Texas scoring no runs.
-
DeRosa grounded into a DP to end the top half of the first in the game against Texas.
-
In the Texas game, the Cubs are already up 2-0. Pie got out, Theriot got hit, and then Murton hit a 2 run HR. Kinkade has since followed with another hit, and the Cubs are still batting up 2-0 in the top of the first.

Here's the link to the box score for the game that is not being broadcast anywhere: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/boxscore.jsp?gid=2007_03_09_chnmlb_texmlb_1 Sosa right now is listed in RF-wonder if he convinced his manager to play? Cubs lineup is Pie,Theriot, Murton, Kinkade, DeRosa, Colvin, Cedeno, Dopirak, and Hill (the catcher, not the P).

Report: Felix Pie won't make Cubs

Would Izturis (last year of contract), Cedeno (or Theriot), Jacque (to get rid of some salary), Guzman, and get it done for Tejada? :shock: :shock: :shock: Soriano Tejada Lee Ramirez Floyd/Pie Barrett Murton DeRosa No, I don't think that would get very close-the Orioles want major league talent in return, and plenty of it-that's why people even desperate to get him have gone away empty-handed. -
Also if you extend it out, the same thing happened to one of the participants in the conference championship with the Patriots when Dillon left. Addai and Maroney got a little more time than Benson did though last year as well (Rhodes for example was starter in name only till the postseason, when Addai became the starter) but you're right, the situations are very similar.

The amazing thing is that nobody knew it-Conley was seen as good, but really just a throw-in. He is much, much better than I expected as a freshman from reading about him during his high school days.
-
Then again, he moves from Central Indiana to Southern California. So what? He never has to play a game at home in the cold either way, during the offseason he can live anywhere he wants, and during the season he's going to be miserable anyway playing for Oakland, no matter what the weather is like :D. Why are you so happy that he is going to be miserable? I'm not at all-I wish him the best of luck, and I hope he does well there-I was more laughing at the absolute ineptitude of the Raiders last year.

Sounds good, but with an outfield of Godzilla, Johnny Damon and Bobby Abreu, there isn't a whole lot of room for Jacque Jones. As much as I hate to say it, to get A-Rod, it will require that we part with Aramis along with other pieces and parts. While A-Rod is an upgrade over Aramis, there is a scare that he could opt out at the end of the season, which makes Aramis the more valuable commodity in the big picture. I'm with you. I don't see Jacque fitting in NY. I also agree that getting ARod isn't worth trading Ramirez. The Cubs only chance of getting ARod has always been the possibility that the Yankees see him as a distraction and clubhouse cancer, and that ARod wants to come to the Cubs and uses his NTC to veto a trade anywhere else. If this happens, it will go down like the Nomar deal did. It will have to be some sort of 3-way or even 4-way deal that sends NY a good 3B from a team that isn't contending and will do a deal for just prospects. I think Tejada may ultimately be a more likely SS target, as the O's are unlikely to contend for anything other than 3rd in the AL east, and they desperately need what the Cubs have in abundance, pitching prospects. Yeah, but the Orioles also have a crazy owner who won't seem to ok a trade of Tejada for anything even when people offer him great deals. -
Well, the first Colt player to leave-Dominic Rhodes has gotten his payday that he wanted. 2 years, 7.5 million. The team? Good luck Dominic-you just went from the Colts to the Raiders. :D

Thanks Bruce-are they going to try Theriot at OF at all? If they are, today might be the day they do it-my guess at the other lineup is going to be Warning-this is only a guess Pie-CF Patterson-2B Murton-LF Ward-DH Kinkade-1B DeRosa-3B Pagan-RF Soto-C Cedeno-SS If Colvin is in RF, then Theriot probably plays 3B, and DeRosa takes 5th with Colvin hitting 6th. If it's Walker, then I'm not sure how the lineup would be arranged. For some reason, I'm not thinking of the other outfielders in camp right now. Edit: the other guess of the lineup brought a couple people up that I forgot about and also reminded me that they are going to use a DH in that game, so I'm going to amend my lineup with my latest guess.

Hopefully somebody explained to him that he'd be sitting more than he'd be playing. I can't imagine he wants that. He knows how much Jacque and Sori are getting paid, so there's no way he's playing over them. Unless he thinks he should be playing over Murton (ie-Soriano over to LF so Pie could play CF) I would hope he's smarter than that. I'm not sure about that. Wasn't he the one who told Lou that he wanted to be in the major leagues so bad that he'd just carry bats if he had to? I think he'd be fine with sitting the bench-but you cannot let players have their say on everything, and starting in Iowa will be better for him. He'll be up soon enough. -
I'm fearful that you are right. I think it's more likely we draft Burgess than any of the three above. Is that Wilken's style though? Wilken has a history of being unpredictable I know, which would suggest not one of the top 3, but from many of the players that are usually mentioned that he drafted it doesn't seem like Burgess is that type of player.
-
Wow-Georgia Tech is most likely in anyway, but the one thing they didn't need was a bad loss, and that is what they got. Wake Forest prevails in double OT 114-112. Wake's top scorer had 22 and they had 7 people in double figures-I love the balance.
-
Anthony Morrow of GT hits a 3 pointer to tie the game, which sends GT and WF into double OT.
-
LSU upsets Tennessee in OT.
-
Wake Forest only makes 3 out of 6 free throws in the last 1:05, and as a result GT and Wake are headed to OT.
-
Tennessee airballs the 3 attempt, and the game is headed to OT.
-
There was an absolutely horrible charging call that waives away a LSU basket with 7.3 seconds left-Tennessee ball, 7.3 left, tie game.
-
In non pitcher news: So this means that those 4 are pushing for 5th starter-if one of the other 3 get it, then Cotts is the long reliever. If Cotts gets it, then what-Guzman as the long reliever?
