  1. It was a sideways carom, Castro should've been the one to field it.
  2. Really? We're calling Steve Trout a living legend now??
  3. That's highly doubtful with it being on Versus and all. I'm doing my part are you??
  4. Tommy Lasorda has always been a horse's ass. Hopefully this doc will spread the word.
  5. Maybe I'm looking to much into it but I see Ramirez having a big influence with the kid and Ramirez has been fairly quiet throughout his time here. The media likes a good quote and in their collective minds it is a waste of time to try and pry out quotes from an ESL kid while there are plenty of fluent veterans and/or fluent English speakers; Dempster, Campana, Byrd, Pena, Wood and Garza. And Ramirez was here when the Sosa relationship blew up, so perhaps he's always tried to avoid it and now is steering Castro in that direction. Ramirez has also been public enemy #1 or 2 of the hack sportswriters in Chicago. It wouldn't shock me if he had no love for the buffoons in the press and has steered Castro the same way.
  6. LEAVE TIGER ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNEEE
  7. In general, mainstream sports authors are terrible. Sight unseen, I'm guessing Halberstam is talking out of his ass.
  8. Yeah I'm as excited as the next guy to see the Cubs spending on amateurs, but somehow giving 3rd round money to a 10th round talent that's been taken twice in the 20's just doesn't seem like smart business. I don't understand why you guys keep bringing up where he was drafted as if it's relevant.
  9. Week 6. Yes, this is horrible, this idea
  10. Monday will never be all but forgotten by Cubs fans for this reason:http://images.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/_photos/2006-04-24-rick-monday.jpg I just won a million dollar bet with myself.
  11. he won one tournament, a non-major. he won a tournament last year too. Which is more than Tiger can say.
  12. 19 and whatever you call DePaul.
  13. I thought his family seemed a little crazy after he left UI. Didn't his uncle say some sort of crazy stuff about the draft? Well, I meant his parents. His uncle did say some loopy stuff, which was then refuted by his father saying he didn't speak for the family. ETA: His uncle said he was better than Harrison Barnes.
  14. Agreed, can't wait to see Kansas and Mizzou rot away in obscurity along with Iowa State. You guys are weird. This is guaranteed to deliver actual changes at some point. Going through all the rumors and winding up with Nebraska, Utah, and Colorado switching conference? Feh.
  15. I assume Texas Tech will be closed down.
  16. And his name is Rock [expletive] Shoulders
  17. UZR has him at +8. What I'm saying is defensive metrics at the micro level have a long way to go.
  18. And I'll say, i don't buy the story, but when A&M and Oklahoma inevitably head elsewhere; seriously, what are the 7 loser schools going to do?
  19. I think I'm more excited for the collapse of the Big 12 than I am for the expansion of the Big 10.
  20. His competition is Kyle Orton. I'm pissed about it.
  21. Richmond has a stable household, had parents that said all the right things, didn't seem to be using him as a meal ticket. He had issues in high school, but nothing to this level(at least what was reported). Have to wonder what went wrong.
  22. Going solely off of dWAR (which is probably dumb), I'd hope Jackson would be a better defender than Monday. Rick Monday was really good offensively. I'd be really excited to have him put up those numbers for league minimum the next 3 years.
  23. Maybe I don't get it because I've never been a big golfer, but the Tiger Woods worship is really bizarre. I mean really, golf isn't exciting unless he's winning a bunch of tournaments?
  24. Everything is fine, goodnight.
