Looks like the Lions are going with Calvin Johnson. CJ with Roy Williams. Could be scary. But we've heard that before in Detroit.

Wow. Where do I sign up for that league? :D Haha, yeah. It's not really fun. I'm in two keeper leagues and wanted to do a yearly league so I could do a draft. I'm also a fantasy baseball nut so I wanted a big league. Apparently its hard to find a quality 18 team league.

i love the bulls.

Oh yeah, and I just took advantage of that guy dying to get rid of Smoltz. Gave him Austin Kearns and Tom Gorzelanny and got Smoltz AND Jason Bay in return. And somehow the trade was allowed to go through.

That's not necessarily a bad move. I would have traded him instead of dropping him. You know someone would see the no-hitter and pay a king's ransom for him. Yeah, I guess I should have added that there is a 50 inning minimum in my league and that there are 18 teams. So pitching is very very limited. Therefore, dropping Buehrle, or any starting pitcher with an ERA under 5 is not too wise.

Rafael Furcal and Mark Teahen were dropped in one of my leagues (18 teams). One owner was dying to get rid of Smoltz (for practically nothing) and another owner dropped Buehrle the day after he pitched a no-hitter. So, yeah, I've been in a league like that.

I'm not so sure of that. Overall they shot pretty poorly in Game 1 and still won pretty soundly. I think the Bulls are deep enough and good enough to win without a bigtime post up threat. Even if a couple guys are having an off night, we have players who can step in. They didn't win soundly. They were up 1 with under a minute to go. Hmm...yeah, that's right. I forgot it did get that close. Either way, I think this team should take down Miami in 5. I think we'll steal one in Miami and win Game 5 at home. I could also see a sweep.

Well I can't say I blame him on most of those issues. If I wasn't resigned by the team I've played my whole career for and gave everything for, I'd be a little mad/bitter. Players do that all the time. I'd rather a player get pissed about not being resigned than ditch the team to make a few extra million like so many players these days do. the whole "gave everything I had" argument does not pass muster with me. Dude was WELL COMPENSATED for his time here. It wasn't like he played five seasons pro bono. And he was what? 36 or 37 when the Cubs let him go? If we re-signed a fading 37-year-old 1b with no pop for nostalgia reasons, this board will blow up. Decisions like that are what have caused years of mediocrity. besides he ultimately got a ring because of the decision. But he still felt compelled to take a shot at the Cubs just moments after winning? Sorry dude. Lame. And douchey. Enjoy your ring. And enjoy the fact a ton of Cub fans still loved you. If many have since stopped, it's because he's always running his yap. I'm not saying that it wasn't the correct decision. However, I can understand why he'd be a little mad. Maybe he took it too far, but I still understand why he'd be bitter about the situation. When you play for a team for so long and then they suddenly don't want you anymore, it hurts the ego a litttle bit. And people holding a grudge over a comment he made after winning a ring is about as lame as the comment itself.

Really? I've met him a few times and he's always seemed like a nice guy to me. What specifically does he do that transforms him into a female hygiene product?

New players go on waivers. So you can't add him for two days and had better pray your priority is high enough. So he won't be added until Wed.? My priority is very low, but so is the baseball knowledge of most of my league. I'm trying to remember what happened last year, because Liriano was called up and I got him that same day. I believe he won't be added until after he pitches, and then he'll go on waivers. That's what I remember happening a few times last year with guys like Garza. It's actually pretty random when Yahoo adds them to their system. Guys like Homer Bailey and Tim Lincecum have been added for months now. Don't really understand why Hughes never was added...

What's with the hate for Gracie? Grace, Sandberg, Dunston, Riggleman, and Tuffy Rhodes are my earliest memories of the Cubs.

Oh man, I can't wait.

There are 17 pitching staffs with a higher ERA than the Cubs right now.

Did I speak too soon? No, I didn't.

Did I speak too soon?

Spurs are done.

After today's game, I'm happy I didn't trade for Wainwright. I did, however, trade Drew (along with Geoff Jenkins) for Nick Swisher.

I know this has been answered before, but I need to know what time the gates open for Sunday day games. Thanks!

Noc is huge. Walker is fat and should start shooting his sub .300 from behind the arc. Oh yeah, and as usual, Hinrich is getting fouls called on him for breathing.

Twice.

I'd drop Greinke for Reyes.

Walks hurt.
