Another Middle Infielder: Who is he?
Derwood replied to wilk's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Is Macias available? you'd have to pry him from Bowden's cold, dead hands -
i was thinking they'd look snazzy with a pair of those tiger print NFL pants that all the fat guys wear
-
Your sig has hypnotized me. I'm unable to look away... it's his 12th new signature today No way, I've had my Willis one for the past several months you had someone between that and this though, right?

and...........the Penn/aTm mercifully reaches halftime
-
He's actually very good at what he does...He creates controversy. Judging a "journalist" by the number of newspapers he sells is like judging a movie by the number of tickets it sells. a)There are good movies that generate big box office numbers. b) There are bad movies that generate big box office numbers. c) There are good movies that perform poorly at the box office. d) There are bad movies that perform poorly at the box office. Mariott's work falls under choice (b). So what you're saying is that Marrotti is the Wild Hogs of journalism. I'd go with the Forrest Gump of journalism
-
I don't. I would be willing to bet that a lot of people who post in this thread don't either. I don't have to listen to Limbaugh to know he is a pompas windbag. I don't have to read Marrotti to know he is one either. I don't think there are a lot of people who buy a newspaper becuase Lupica or Marrotti or Ryan write for it. no one should buy that newspaper. the Sun-Times is total trash. 6 pages of news and 6 pages of sports sandwiching 120 pages of car ads. All at a 2nd grade reading level. You're better off reading Red-Eye
-
why, why, WHY am I being subjected to a game that is 11-7 after 10 minutes? sweet merciful crap i hope aTm loses this game. There is no reason at all they shouldnt' be up by 15 right now
-
and yet you all still read his column
-
oh look, Penn is averaging about 0.6 points per minute EDIT: if Penn has less than 10 points at the 1/2, I'll be extremely amused/horrified
-
How many times will this be heard....Penn, now these are the REAL student athletes. Penn is mostly white guys, so they'll be gritty, hard-nosed and blue collar as well
-
yep, i've been switchd to my 3rd game in the past 20 minutes. Penn has gone the first 3:30 without scoring
-
I'm getting Bob vs. WSU, and I'm in PA, so figure that one out. Oh wait, now they switched to GTown/Belmont
-
I don't think so. It's like comparing a pitcher and a hitter. They are both still baseball players, even though they are asked to do different things. You can trade one for the other, value one over the other, etc. We've seen there are "Mariotti" type beat writers as well as columnists. Bruce is a writer who appears to stick to the facts and just tell the story. He writes columns from time to time (like today) that express opinion. But instead of just going on a Jay rant, he simply talks about the baseball team and what it can, and should do to win more games. sure, I'm just saying that people who complain that Mariotti isn't using facts and stats in his column don't understand that he's paid for his opinion. I'm not saying he does a good job of it, or that he isn't purposely stirring the pot.
-
I bought into the WSU hype too
-
wow, brilliant cut away from Oral/WSU to Stan/Lou to see Louisville dribble the ball out and shake hands. WTF?
-
why is there aerial coverage of an indoor sporting event?
-
i'll be 2-1. I'm pretty sure I picked TT in both my brackets
-
comparing Jay to Bruce isn't fair, as they are asked to do different things. I'm not going to say Mariotti is some great journalist or anything, but comparing a beat writer with a editorial columnist is really apples and oranges
-
Hooray for small sample size and making a judgment on one game. if you don't think any of the teams I listed would have given Louisville a better game today you're the biggest homer ever Wait, people are complaining about Stanford at 18-12 and you want Iowa at 17-14? Brilliant. forget Iowa. Syracuse certainly should be in there over Stanford

Dear Selection Comittee, Nice pick, going with Stanford and all. Sincerely, Syracuse, Air Force, Drexel, Iowa.....
-
I like the way they look and was seriously considering getting a pair. Now I'm thinking they're a bit too ostentatious for my tastes. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like I'd need to be 16 years old to wear them. :P when i made them I was thinking they looked a lot like the original Air Jordan's

Pete Rose admits to betting on Reds
