I think Davidson's tired. Their best players have played the entire game. This sucks.

he's beating the **** out of padgett over the back on every entry pass It's absurd. I'm surprised they called that hack on WIlliams. He also travels quite a bit. This is what I have been saying all year, and getting murdered for it because I like Duke. You take away half of his foul shots and 2 or 3 shots a game for travels and his stats are not so impressive. Sounds like you're talking about Eric Gordon.

lawl at Bama for the national title. Indiana are a bunch of dopes putting a strict deadline on Bennett. Here we'll give you no time to consider this, so that you can turn us down, and now we'll go shop the job around as one that was turned down by Washington St.'s coach.

Votto will be in the minors by May. The reasoning will be that he's not getting enough at bats in the big leagues and he needs to get some time in down in AAA.

I like the start of Encarnacion being thrown under the bus as well.

It's not as if Ronny made an epic amount of errors in '06. He made 23. Not great, but he's not Jose Offerman out there.

Isn't Bob Kravitz a dope?

Biggest news to me in that article is saying they can't afford Miller's buyout.

Steven Hill wants to play.

You do realize the reason Pearl feel off the face of the Earth was because he made it public hat a recruit told him he was choosing a different school because they offered him money and new SUV. I would say he doesn't like cheaters. Yeah, that's the whole story.

OH MY!!!

agreed. cedeno makes too many fielding and baserunning mistakes, and in 2006 he was one of the worst hitters in baseball. the two guys have roughly the same amount of PAs in the majors; Theriot's big league EqA is .260 while Cedeno's is .214. that's right, .214. with theriot you know what you're going to get, and it's mediocrity, but it's not a complete black hole. cedeno could be a better player, but we've got more than a year of major league sample size to look at, and he's been far worse in that time. for a team that is in contention right now, i don't know if you have another year to see if he will sink or swim. He was 23!!! yes, he was. the guy who was the best player in the national league last year was 24. i understand that most guys don't hit their peak until their late 20s; however, the chances of a guy becoming successful in the major leagues after being one of the worst players in baseball for a full season are very slim. Most organizations don't misjudge a player's value so severely that they bring him up that much before he is ready. Or on the flip side most organizations are dumb enough to write off a player after one awful season in the majors.

Isiah Thomas or Jim Harrick to IU?? =P~ There's a lot of talk that Tony Bennett is the favorite for IU. There is also a LOT of Pitino to IU chatter, as well. While I don't really believe that Rick Pitino will end up at Indiana, that certainly has been the majority of the scuttlebutt over the past week or so here. I can say that IU's administration not only seems adamant on a big name type coach, but some seem very proud of themselves as if it's just a matter of time. I have concerns because I don't believe them, nor do I trust their opinion of what constitutes a "big name." I like Tony Bennett a lot. Isiah Thomas is a big name.

He was 23!!! Thank you, I make this post about once a month, but while Cedeno was flailing away in the majors. Theriot was flailing away in SINGLE A. Theriot would hit about 180 in the majors at the age Ronny was up. Just imagine how terrible that "tiring down at the end of the season" woulda been.

If Theriot OPSes 760 this year over a full season, I'll eat your hat.

Isiah Thomas or Jim Harrick to IU?? =P~

Bo Ryan is overrated in some circles cause he has a lot of white players on his team and people assume white players = not as good. Don't get me wrong, white people do suck at basketball, and Bo Ryan is a great coach, but I think both sides get taken to too far of an extreme some time. That said I love Bo Ryan.

I dunno, I kinda thought this was funny.

"The Game" by Motorhead is a terrible song.

Jump by Van Halen.

No, that's not the only thing that let it not go on for long. They didn't like doing it. They didn't like doing it cause Fontenot was ass at SS.

Tree? I was gonna say is that our Johnny from Champaign... I gotta imagine the amount of Johnny's in Champaign that read BP has to be pretty low. My thought as well, but I thought tree might be afraid that I know his name.

The problem is injuries have sapped both his power and his defense.
