Derwood

FYI, the game is also in HD on Extra Innings channel 728, but it's the Milwaukee feed.

so it started even though we don't have rosters set?

i didn't see the game, but did Wood really "dominate"? box score shows a hit and a walk in 1 inning. that's a 2.00 WHIP in my book

Exactly what I was thinking at least Meph's team was arguably good

they got that new Nationals stadium built pretty quickly.

i have a couple of things. i'm just contemplating whether i'm willing to part with them :)

weather.com is always wrong. never visit that site

Which four are you talking about as being "very good to great teams?" Is it USC/Nebraska/Tennessee/Penn State or FSU/Florida/Miami/LSU? Because if you are talking about Group A: then I disagree. USC has been consistantly good, but the other three, are pretty much hit or miss at this time. They can be good, but as of right now, Tenn/PSU/Neb are middle of the pack average teams in their conferences. Now if you are talking about Group B: I disagree. Miami and FSU has basically been mediocre since the start of the new century. At this point of time, Miami and FSU are recognizable based on school rep, moreso then on-the-field production. Of those 8 teams, only three of them (less then half) can be caterize as "good to great teams." The other 5 teams are.......need things to break right to have a good season. While Tennessee isn't an elite program right now by any means, to say we're "middle of the pack average," is overexaggerating our recent downtimes a bit. 2007: 10 wins and an SEC East title - lost the SEC Championship game with 2 late picks 2006 : 9 wins and a second place finish in the East 2005: 5-6 - most definitely a terrible year where every break went against us 2004: 10 wins and an SEC East title - gave an unbeaten Auburn (should've been in the National title game) everything they wanted 2003: 10 wins and a 3-way tie for the SEC East title There's no doubt we haven't been quite as good as I would have liked, but 10 wins a year (save one) and top two in the East four of the last five years (including twice being in the SEC Championship game) is better than middle of the pack SEC. RedFlash is a Bammer. 'Nuff said. Damn straight. And in less then two yrs, people are going to be jealous at the amont of talent that Saban has brought in, to a point people are going to use the old standard cliche "the coach bought these players" comments. And if you hated to hear Alabama and their 2008 class, just right till you hear about their 2009 class with Tana Patrick, Nico Johnson, Kendall Kelly, AJ McCaron, etc, etc. I'm telling you...Alabama will be in a major bowl game in 2 yrs, and the National Championship game in 2/3 yrs. Get use to it, now, and your disgust of Alabama will be held to a minimum. And yes, Tennessee is or will be a middle of the pack SEC team. and by the time those players are in Alabama, Saban will have gone on to the next job

i'll be flipping back and forth from ESPN2 to WGN, if only because i'll get the game in HD on ESPN2 Not that it effects you but I believe the ESPN2 broadcast is blacked out in chicago. At least someone mentioned that today when I was at wrigley. They could have been wrong. i wouldn't be surprised if it was.

he's beating the **** out of padgett over the back on every entry pass It's absurd. I'm surprised they called that hack on WIlliams. He also travels quite a bit. This is what I have been saying all year, and getting murdered for it because I like Duke. You take away half of his foul shots and 2 or 3 shots a game for travels and his stats are not so impressive. Bitter Duke face

No worse than Reed Johnson. The decision would still come down to Fontenot or Murton if the assumption is that we've gotta have a right handed counterpart to Pie that can play CF. Your logic is very flawed, but nice try to put some emotional spin to it. no worse than Reed Johnson? at least Johnson has some MLB stats to argue about. if you put unproven Rule V guy on the roster instead of Murton, NSBB explodes with anger.

i'm curious what Enberg and Bilas think about Hansborough. they need to be more vocal about it

they used to play there but had about a 60 foot tall chain link fence along the left field wall

Louisville is trying to screw this up..

Dick Enberg just told me that Hansborough gave Padgett a reach around

alright, looks like we're even on players and everyone needs just 3 more guys for their roster. we don't start until Monday, April 7th, right?

i'm sure this board's reaction to a Rule V pick being the 4th OF over Murton would have been overwhelmingly positive

That would be never in the 64/65-team era. i'd actually like to see it happen. KU, UNC, UCLA and Memphis would be a fun Final Four No because all the cheap people who picked all the high seeds (my roommates gf) would win. They should never be rewarded for cheapness. i don't really care about your roommate's girlfriend. i just want to see the best possible games next weekend
