I'm pleased to announce that you can make some truly fugly shoes on that site: http://www.simleaguebaseball.com/derwood/oakshoe.jpg or http://www.simleaguebaseball.com/derwood/arzshoe.jpg

More Chris Duncan for everyone!

correct

I hope Collison isn't injured as I picked UCLA to go to the Championship game in all 3 of my pools :(

I'm not buying them, but they were fun to design: http://www.simleaguebaseball.com/derwood/cubshoe.jpg

I saw the last ever Dead show, and it sucked bag I saw CSNY over the summer and they were fantastic so it's a coin flip

i would put it in Rants myself

Then remove him from the roster entirely. I don't like the idea of making roster decisions based on service time, and who is going to put up the biggest stink. I don't either, and I'm all for trading him if the right deal comes along. I'm just saying what I think the Cub brass will do

if it comes down to ease of roster management, Miller is the obvious choice. You also don't start the year with a disgruntled veteran in the pen

for the White Sox, a "premium" game is any game where you can't get 2 free tickets with a Wendy's Value Meal

i have an idea. let's let the guy pitch a few games before we rake him over the coals. I know there isn't much to talk about this time of the year, but I get tired of endless predictions about who will do what.

FAMU was complaining? Niagara was the team that had the gripe. i thought it was FAMU. Maybe I was wrong

HA HA HA HA!!! Today's paper had quotes from FAMU's coach bitching about having to be in the play-in game. Guess who's going home?

It looks like the Cubs will have to move a game currently scheduled for night to an afternoon start as part of the deal. isn't the bolded part exactly why the Police broke up in the first place?

Good choice. You won't be dissapointed. Well, I'm getting a free DVR, free HBO/Skinemax for 3 months, and $10 off a month for 10 months. The switch is just going to be weird because I am so used to the channels on Dish Network. Oh well. I like the way similar channels are grouped together with DirecTV. History, Discovery, and similar channels are from 269-289. Kids channels go from around 290-300, and so on. Last time I had any experience with Dish it wasn't like that. Once you get used to it I think you will enjoy it I couldn't agree more, the groupings, once learned, are easier to remember. The pay-per-view in the 100's bothered me off the bat, it felt like a void in the middle that i had to constantly skip, but everything is basically from 200-300 that's worth watching to me. skip? Just make a "favorites" and program out all that junk I need to take advantage of the favorites thing, but I have just learned the 6 or 7 channel number that start each group. I just punch them into the guide and page up/down from there. It would be hard for me to narrow my field of favorites to any number that would actually make it an advantage. My viewing tastes are pretty broad. That said, I have been very pleased with DirecTV and the service I have received. If they make EI anything like Sunday Ticket, then I am all for it. I know it will cut some people out, but that's the free market at work. your favorites can have as many channels as you want. I just program out the PPV and sports package channels, plus any movie channels I don't get.

I call for the revoking of 20 posts from Vance. Not only does he list ech guy in an individual post, but he uses the intrawebs to cheat!

Antonio Alfonseca

He's still a bust, but he's been having a solid year with Orlando, I believe. Good win tonight. Relatively easy four game stretch coming up with 2 against Boston, 1 against Philly, and 1 against Memphis. He is the Sam Bowie to DWade's Jordan. except that Wade was picked 5th, not 3rd (that was Carmelo). I think his point stands. Wasn't Barkley 5th that year? ha ha, yeah, in '83, not '03

So are the Cubs trainers working on Noc or what? I thought this guy was supposed to be back "right after the All Star Break"

I filled out my two brackets in the two NSBB Yahoo Pick Em' tournaments. I chose different outcomes in the early games, but I just couldnt' get away from a UCLA vs. Georgetown final

last nite i'll start a new thread about it so we don't get too confused

I hate that I'm working during most of this tournament :x

Can we please start a new thread when the tourney actually starts?
