Well, that certainly isn't true. Thanks Ron Guenther, Thad wasn't ready for a big gig...... If you wanna really annoy PMan, make fun of Guenther. I think they were friends or something. He keeps deleting my posts calling him out his stupid jabs at Mike Thomas saying he's a good "talker"

Myke Henry minutes: 2.5

Hey, if we're going to ban Minnesota from the tourney for losing to Iowa, shouldn't we ban Iowa from the tourney for being Iowa?
-
you're jockeying with northwestern for like 8th place. you want indiana to win. I know what I said, I hope they lose by 50. Besides the top 10 from the B1G are all in the tourney.
-
Hope you lose by 50.
-
I think the bleachers are included as well. They had to go through the process to expand, and for the godless Toyota sign
-
And at least Fitz is gentlemanly enough to lose to Illinois every year.
-
Nah, Rose passed away a few days ago. They just haven't figured out how to break the news. It's a tough press release to have to write. Michael wouldn't do that.
-
LaHair at cleanup, there it is just sitting there flipping you off.
-
And not just because Bruce Weber is getting fired.
-
There's no reason NU's basketball program can't be at the level of their football program. And looking at your last post, it makes me realize how fucked Penn State is.
-
Yeah, Jed's already said that was the plan. That plan could easily change though. Outside of his agent and his immediate family, no one wants Lahair as the opening day starter if they have a better in house option. I'd rather watch Rizzo repeat (or improve upon) his success at the AAA level than burn a year of his ML service time with a team that is going nowhere in 2012. We're going to have to keep him down until late Juneish in order to get an extra year out of him. If we're leading the division on say May 25th and LaHair is being LaHair, I imagine they'll stay the course, but it could be tempting.
-
Yeah, Jed's already said that was the plan. Yeah, you have to give Lahair a chance to see if he can hit at the ML level. If he can he becomes a decent pinch hitter/backup 1B-OF. It may be the smart thing to do, if Rizzo does need the time in AAA, but you don't have to give Lahair anything. He's already showed enough to be a bench bat. I'm not saying it's going to happen but if Lahair stinks in ST and Rizzo is tearing up the cactus league, they'd have to at least consider giving the job to Rizzo. Wouldn't they? No. They've already said judging people by Spring Training is foolish.

You don't like Carmody? The announcers were talking about some stat the other day that Carmody had more 8+ conference win seasons than the 30+ years before he became the coach. My numbers might be a little off, but given his recruiting restraints (kids have to be able to read and write), facilities, etc. I think he's doing a pretty good job, no? He's plateaued. I don't think they can get much farther under him. He could wind up in the tourney with what he's doing, but if they have any more ambitious goals (they should), then they should probably dump him before that happens. Considering that plateau is at a far higher elevation than Northwestern had ever previously reached, this seems rather myopic. Programs that move on from their most successful coaches because those coaches have "plateaued" and the program wants to reach the "next level" seem to decline more often than they incline. The plateau is NIT berths. What exactly are you risking?

Yeah, even TT wants him to start the year at first base. Though, I think that's only so he'll publicly embarrass himself and bring great shame upon his family.

Derrick will be in a full bodycast by the all-star game. Thibs will only play him 25.

I hope fake Theo gets lupus.

You'll be back tearing up Cubby Bear come this summer. watching css on the prowl at the cubby bear will undoubtedly be the highlight of the meetup Unless your sister shows up Next time, bring your sister, you hump!

It's like the greatest sports town ever. They have bars you can walk to from the arena.

MICHAEL WOULD'VE PLAYED

Those aren't deals with players originating from OFAC-sanctioned countries. My guess it it's nothing more than a small fine if anything. It'd help if Soler was established as a citizen outside of Cuba prior to last night, but a wink-nod agreement is a bit tough to prove, and it certainly isn't worth the Treasury Dept's time considering who it involves.
