I'm sure glad I have the Big Ten Network so I could watch this abomination.

Truffle hates everything. And everyone hates FSU. I like FSU Yeah, but you're inhuman Jayhawk scum.

There's no congressman Les Winan!!

Milwaukee??? White Sox?? You know the White Sox had a pretty good bullpen last year, right? Also Milwuakee's was not nearly as bad as people made it out to be. They actually had a better bullpen ERA than the Cubs. Really the Cubs bullpen was trash outside of Marmol and Wood. By the end of the year the White Sox bullpen was Thornton and Jenks. Milwaukee's was Torres and Shouse. It was? Maybe you need to check the numbers again. Villanueva was nasty in September and the whole second half. McClung was really good down the stretch too. Even Gagne allowed just one run in his final 11 appearances. I admit to only going off of memory and forgot about Villanueva. I'm not worried about McClung or Gagne's dried up husk of a career going forward.

ugh northwestern state /kills self Oh that's right. Schadenfreude vs. Schadenfreude

Schadenfreude vs. Northwestern St. live on the Big Ten Network right now.

Oh God, I want nothing to do with Oliver Perez. Why? He's a middle of the rotation starter with the potential to be a top of the rotation starter, espec. under Rothschild, he's the perfect fit for Larry and would become the lefty version of Matt Clement, IMO. I think he's a mediocre starter, and that's not what we should be spending money on. He hasn't had a season worth the 8 figures per year he's going to get since '04.(His much better than average ERA with the Mets came with 20 UER. I don't see Lou being a huge fan of him walking 100 guys a season either. If they don't bring back Dempster, they'll need someone like Perez to fill that void, given the injury history of Harden, Marshall is best off used in that role of a 6th starter since no one beyond poss. Samardzija or Atkins could fill that role as a ML starter out of the farm. They also have Gaudin to take up emergency starts. I forgot about Gaudin but it doesn't underscore my point about them still neeeding another starter if Dempster isn't back. Absolutely - the rotation is my biggest concern this offseason, by far. Though Jim's turning the bullpen into a close second. Of all of the 8 playoff teams from last year, the Cubs by far have the worst bullpen and it isn't even close, well maybe Ana b/c they'll lose one if not both of K-Rod and Oliver. Milwaukee??? White Sox??

And this after they said you'd fit in.

How shocking, an Illini fan with a negative view on Indiana basketball. Bruce Weber is still coaching Ilinois right? Just making sure. You do realize he doesn't have any Bill Self recruits left to lean on. This is pretty comical considering Illinois and Indiana just signed pretty closely ranked classes for '09. This following a class of solely 3 stars and a 7 footer who couldn't score more than 3 points a game in JC.

Yeesh. Sorry soccer10k.

that was hilarious... the players seemed to be like "well the ball bounced up high, our job is done here" TWICE

1. You can't take a sack there. 2. That clock was running while the first down markers were moving. 3. Navy apparently just called their 4th TO and they gave it to them.

Weis's special teams hatred burning him again. They've probably never practiced an onsides recovery.

If Notre Dame loses this game it would be both an insane comeback and the final nail in Weis's coffin.

How the hell did that ref call that a TD?

Wait, illegal batting is a penalty? I thought that was a really intelligent play.

Seriously, why the [expletive] is McGee in there?

Was he the guy that tackled the defender?

*shock* No not at all.

I must be missing something here. Why do you decline that facemask??

That was a horrendous spot on 3rd down. I don't think there's a planned movement to ref favorably for the big name teams. But when it comes to the end of the season and you've got one team in your conference with a chance at a BCS berth, and that's it, there are definitely conflicts of interest involved. DUMBASS PITCH MILLER What the hell is wrong with you?

Juice better be hurt if we have Eddie McGee in there at QB.
