  1. it kind of is
  2. as long as Byrd keeps hitting, I don't mind him high in the order. Just don't hesitate to drop him when he cools off
  3. I didn't know he was still playing
  4. It's pretty obvious that he's setting himself up so that when Rose wins the MVP, he can say he was onboard
  5. No, no.......Boston is just resting
  6. i thought it was pretty obviously after the buzzer
  7. Who would you rather have pitching in this situation? Darwin Barney anyone
  8. Drop Manny Ramirez Add Adam Jones
  9. so this is official? he's on my HR Derby team
  10. Auburn is just bitter because they only offered him $1000/month
  11. The whole thing is if your billing address isn't an Indiana residency you can't have them yet. But Pacers basketball still hasn't recouped close to the amount of fans it had pre-brawl era. You're gonna be able to grab some seats no worries. Unless Ron Artest is on the other team
  12. He's going to be so good in the NBA I don't understand why ANY underclassman would declare for the draft right now when there might not even be a season next year
  13. Quade isn't going to drop Byrd a day after he went 3 for 4
  14. Bobby Brownlie, IMO
  15. move Wood to the rotation, trade for Prior...................PLAYOFFS!
  16. They don't get a 3 year contract like the first rounders, meaning if they don't show something pretty quickly, they're either off to the D-League or out of the NBA altogether. There are notable exceptions (Gilbert Arenas was a 2nd rounder, for example), but usually it's not worth leaving college early unless you're more or less guaranteed to be a 1st rounder) Other notable 2nd rounders include Ginobli, Boozer, Rodman, Hornacek, Ceballos, Redd and Lewis, but the odds of "making it" as a 2nd rounder aren't great
  17. it's irrelevant during the season too also, the preseason
  18. Since you need it spelled out for you, the theory has long been that Wrigley insulates the Cubs from the sort of performance-based attendance cycles you're describing. If that's not so true anymore, it's a story. It's a story. I don't know where the obstinance originates. I don't think one data point early in the season means a whole lot, but I suspect if the Cubs are sub .500 come May there will be plenty of games like yesterday. That's why it's not a story. Who here honestly thought that the Cubs would been drawing near-capacity crowds if they had or with the promise of another mediocre (or worse) year? it's a story because the Cubs coasted through several terrible seasons in the 00's without a noticeable drop in ticket sales. the story is that the sales are finally catching up to the quality of the product
  19. Nope, they'll be the worst team in the Horizon League
  20. 12. Penn State Minny will challenge you. But yeah, you're losing a lot. I'm thinking Purdue in the 3-5 range. Obviously worse if Hummel goes down again. PSU was 5 deep and will be losing 4 starters. They'll be lucky to win 10 games next year
  21. 12. Penn State
  22. reason #485 that Nantz should be relegated to golf and Gus Johnson should get to call the Final Four
