They can win the damn big ten and the BTT and I won't call them the best team in the conference.
-
I've been calling it all year. KU is a real good team, but they aren't special. I have never seen them as a Final 4 team at any point. I dont think there are any "special" teams in college basketball this year. Memphis is the closest one, but them playing in a weak conference could bite them. The tourney this year is very wide open. UCLA is special. They just gotta get their heads out of their asses.
-
I got hosed.
-
Wasn't even the worst call of Villanova's life. '05 tourney screams out.
-
My favorite Dusty move may have been how when a sub played, he was slotted into the same spot as the guy he replaced. When Sosa was out in '03, Troy O' Leary came out there in that 3 spot every game. Great stuff. -
That hurts me.

First basemen gotta be my RBI guys, like Steve Garvey was for me back when I played. Leadoff has gotta be a guy with some speed, someone that can make things happen on the basepaths for the RBI guys. That's why I like Hopper up there Then you got the 2 spot, you need someone who can handle the bat, a guy who can hit it to the right side for you. Castro should fit perfectly in that spot. Really makes stuff happen on the field. 3 spot is your best hitter, so obviously we'll put Griffey there. 4's gotta be your RBI man, the guy everyone's scared of on the team. Dunn's got that power and he's a big dude, we're talking football player, so he goes there. Then you gotta have some protection for the RBI man. Hatteberg's a professional hitter, I like him there. 6 and 7 I look at as my 1-2 hitters of the bottom of the lineup. Phillips has got some good speed, so I like him at 6, then Freel at the 7 spot. Having those 2 burners back to back is a luxury we have here. 8 is where your catcher bats. So we'll put ours there.

I would say the caught cheater, but the question is how much more likely? I would say the added likelihood of the corker being the roider compared to a non-corker is so small it's insignificant.
-
Can we go over the case against Sammy again? He hit a lot of HRs during what should be his power peak. He used a corked bat. He gained weight. I cover them all?
-
It's funny how Mark Grace, who did have a messy divorce from the Cubs and was as slow as molasses around the bases, was never similarly thrown under the bus. Don't forget he never cared to keep himself in great shape or work out.

This is the part of the season where Clemson loses most of its games and misses the tourney.

Reds Hot After Blanton

Norris Hopper will be in CF. Freel will be at 3B. -
Reds Hot After Blanton

I'm probably late on the topic. But Dusty chose to face Mike Lowell instead of Lenny Harris in a tie game. I really don't know what else needs to be said about the man. -
I'll admit that Purdue is better than Ohio St. now. MSU and Wisconsin are both better than them, and IU probably is too.

Reds Hot After Blanton

Keep hoping. Votto for Blanton? Sure. Anything more? No way Why would the A's trade Blanton for one of Cincy's bench players? And it's not like Oakland is short on first basemen. Joey Votto is a bench player for us? That's news to me. He is unless Hatteberg is hurt. -
Wilbon has our back, and he hates Illinois(NU grad) Tore into Mariotti about his reaction as well. Issuing an apology because of what 2 fans did? Pathetic.
-
If Prior comes back in July-earlier it proves that he wasn't trying hard enough with the Cubs to come back from injury. If Prior comes back in September it proves he's a big smelly vagina.

A's sign Foulke
SouthSideRyan replied to Geech's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Didn't he retire last year and cost Cleveland a draft pick? -
I love the way that's phrased. Ehhh, it could be 2 of the Cubs top prospects or it could be an overpriced starter and a guy the Cubs hate for being right handed.
-
On the other hand they pretty much hate each other too which is rather amusing. I really have no problem with Desipio, they're kind of the WSI of the Cubs world. I'm glad there is an outlet for those type of people who are also Cub fans. It does keep out the riff raff.
-
uhhhhh.

Snipped the context discussion cause I already said I'd be fine with calling things to the letter of the law, but it's not how it's done. And yes, Pruitt gained a tiny advantage in doing such, just as every time a player fouls, there is some tiny advantage to them. I already admitted that Pruitt made a ridiculous decision in coming within 20 feet of White, I already told you why it wasn't called, unless your argument is that White was going to make his 3/4 court shot, I'm not really understanding the argument. I'm feeling querulous so I'm picking a useless argument. I'd laugh, but I don't know what querulous means, so you may have just insulted me. I'll go with a slight giggle.

You think 92 wins will be enough to beat out either the Red Sox or Yankees, whichever one doesn't win the East? Before they ever start worrying about NY and Boston, they should probably worry first about Cleveland and Detroit. :wink: Yeah I'm not sure 92 wins gets you wild card runner up.
-
And it was a different situation. Whistles are blown based on context, it's just the way it's done. Webber was trapped in a corner by UNC defenders and stopped to motion for the time out. In doing so, he could've gained an advantage and gotten out of the trap. The Arizona player called it as time was clearly about to expire, and gained no advantage in doing so.
