    z. I can't see Hill pitching a complete game period, much less a shut out
  2. Derwood
    Mark Redman was an All Star.

    this must be what it feels like to be a Royals fan

    how many times do you think Archie has said, "Eli, why can't you be more like your brother?"
  5. Derwood
    Angelos is one creepy dude
  6. Derwood
    My sources tell me we're close to deals with Kevin Tapani, Mark Clark and the corpse of Rod Beck

    Eli was never as good in college as Peyton, so I'm not sure why they expected him to be as good as a pro
  8. Derwood
    don't blame me, I was just adding a name to the list
  9. Derwood
    do they rip him for being peyton's brother, or for starting his career like a whiny bitch and then proceeding to not be very good?

    oh snap, claxton got hurt? well there goes that
  11. Derwood
    i endorse this idea

    6'7" at age 16 is still huge for high school. My high school had over 1000 kids (grades 9-12) and maybe 2 guys were over 6'4", and one played volleyball instead of basketball.

    I saw that kid play in the Sac-Joaquin Section D-V title game at Arco Arena last year as a sophomore. Dude was all over the court doing everything and was good at it also. Both my friend and I came away very impressed with him (we weren't there to see him, rather just a couple section title games and Modesto Christian happened to be playing). EDIT: Holy crap. Just looked up that game on maxpreps and Reeves had 19 points, 19 rebounds and 8 assists in the game. WOW. Soccer, I believe the Modesto Bee had a story up that Reeves tossed up 52 pts and 28 boards against some school called Hughson last Saturday. I'm guessing Hughson isn't exactly that great but still, very impressive. Did a little searching and found this article and he actually had that big game against Clovis East. He only had 25-22-6 blocks against Hughson and it says for the season he's averaging 24 points, 18 rebounds, five assists and five blocks per game this year. I'm guessing prep basketball isn't that great in the San Joaquin Valley. or that he is doing what Garnett/Curry did, which was happen to be a 7 foot 18 year old in a league of 5'6" to 6' players

    what are the times on these games? i got roped into working on Sunday at 1pm

    Or to a much, much lesser extent, Felix Pie, if you change everyone wants him to some teams kind of want him. the difference is that Ellisbury and Cabrera have at least been sorta okay at the major league level
  17. Derwood
    He was the Bayou Basher because "Dandy Little Glove Man" was already taken
  18. Derwood
    I think the Giants vs. Baltimore was one of the worst in recent history, and while Tennessee vs. St. Louis was one of the greatest Super Bowls in recent memory, that game was extremely regional in terms of national (dis)interest
  19. Derwood
    if LaRoche can refind the stroke he had in Atlanta, he's a great piece for that team. he just really looked clueless for a lot of 2007
  20. Derwood
    Jacob Ellisbury is the Melky Cabrera of Boston. The organization calls him untouchable, so suddenly everyone wants him
  21. Derwood
    i never went, so i don't really get the excitement. i think it would be more fun if it was the week before the season (impossible, i know).
  22. Derwood
    i would be hesitant to trade that many bodies in one deal
  23. Derwood
    Yes, but your average American had never heard of him before those incidents, that's the point. But I don't think that was frostwyrm's point, which is where this spinoff discussion began. He was referring to Clinton's "easy circumstances" compared to Bush, and how no one had heard of Bin Laden, and while Bin Laden's status as a target has certainly increased since 9/11, it's not like he magically appeared that day. The Clinton administration was well aware of him and had about as much success getting him as the Bush administration has. No argument here. My point was just in response to Derwood's comment about him being known as a rebel that we funded. I think most Americans first heard about Bin Laden when Clinton tried to kill him via airstrike after the embassy bombings. i didn't mean we knew about him pre-terrorism, i'm just saying i learned about him in the context of "he's a terrible terrorist dude who we funded and trained woops lol"

    Penn State can rebound, but they can't shoot foul shots, so Wiscy just needs to "hack-a-shaq" them and they'll win Unless the Badgers are down towards the end of the game, they just don't foul. They are very sound fundamentally, don't reach, and move their feet. They play great man to man, position defense. I hate them. Wisconsin has always been fundamentally sound. I think Bo Ryan could coach a team of walk-ons to 20 wins. Always a tough matchup for IU because they don't make mistakes. Bo Ryan is the best coach in the conference. Wisconsin is superbly coached. Interesting games for both 3-0 Big Ten teams this week. Wisconsin at Penn State tonight, and Indiana at Minnesota Thursday night. The Barn has been a veritable house of horrors for IU historically, and Tubby has had great success against the Hoosiers (though mostly against the incompetent Davis). This will be IU's toughest, most likely loss since playing Xavier. If either team moves to 4-0, they'll be ahead of the curve. Ohio State at Michigan State tonight is also a big game. Minnesota really hasn't beaten anybody to date, unless you count Penn State, which didn't play very well. I think IU wins that game easy, D.J. White and Gordon will have big games. Minnesota didn't win so much as Penn State lost. If Penn State shoots even 60% at the line, they win
