    hahahahahahaha Please tell me you're joking. Yes, I was. There always should be sport where 60 kids do stand around for and scratch their crotch while 11 play. I'll give basketball its kudos it is good for getting HJ, LJ and Trpl J in shape. The rest I am dead serious, especially number 3 i always preferred BJ's to HJ's, but i'm intrigued by this LJ business. edit: holy [expletive] beaten. I was this close to making this post today. My family would have been so disgraced.

    After the Super Bowl. He gonna be in one of those NFL Network commercials singing the song from 'Annie?'

    you know what's even crazier? i saw him pitch in a [expletive] minor league game while on the DL for a bad back. A MINOR LEAGUE GAME! GET YOUR HEAD ON STRAIGHT, ZAMBRANO. Too lazy to pitch in the majors.

    This Smoltz start was just the first in a series of starts...

    My cousin saw him at a water park, oh well.

    In his contract year,probably a coincidence. He was on a terrible Nationals team so pitching to him wasn't that damaging. He had 46 HR and only 96 RBI. That makes no sense. If he's on a terrible team, you wouldn't want to ever pitch to him. You do if you're up 7-0 every game. I would imagine a lot of those HRs came in garbage time. Nope.

    So as of last year the Cubs had supposedly one of the worst farm systems in baseball but now they are in jeopardy of a lot of their players getting picked in the rule 5 draft? Seems to me that people here may be way overestimating the amount of value other teams will put on these mid level prospects. It's not that people expect 6 guys to get taken, just that there are a lot of guys who have a chance at being drafted. Veal got drafted this past year and the system was in much worse shape than it is now.

    Ned Coletti blows.

    Memphis is high profile? If Calipari stayed and he had his army of paid 18 year olds there instead of Lexington, the NCAA would've found no wrong-doing. With Calipari gone and Memphis's program an afterthought they were able to actually do something(however pointless it may be) You don't know what you are talking about. Well you're certainly an unbiased source.

    What do they have to do with Memphis? There's just as many examples of schools losing high profile coaches and still maintaining elite levels. There a lot of examples of [expletive] conference schools losing high profile coaches and not missing a beat? The Self to Weber transition was pretty seamless--and then Weber started getting talent commensurate with the rest of the conference. Memphis isn't Illinois and C-USA isn't the Big Ten.

    I would have agreed if it weren't for their Fed Ex connection which has helped deliver a ton of money and great facilities. I think Pastner will keep them about as relevant as Gonzaga. They'll fly around to play tough teams in the non-conference, clean up in conference and have a handful of Sweet 16's. The question is how much of Memphis's success was their facilities and how much was their skirting of the rules. There's no big name coach to save them anymore, Memphis continues what they've been doing they're fucked.

    Can someone explain this joke to me? Major League! No. Major League 3. 2
  15. SouthSideRyan
    Right after he bolts for UCLA/UNC. You told me Kentucky was his dream job. it wasn't about money.

    The only thing similar about UMass and Memphis is the coach who left. Memphis had success well before Cal arrived. I never said we wouldn't miss a beat without Cal, sure this next season is going to be challenging but there's a lot of talent still on the team. And like I mentioned, the major recruits still have Memphis on their list. There's still a very good chance the program can stay on an elite level. Umass has success before Cal as well. Maybe you have heard of Julius Erving? They had one NCAA appearance from 1950 to the Cal era. I meant actual success. One? That's almost as many appearances as Memphis has vacated Final 4s.

    Did the "punishment" mean that WWWes is gone? If so, Memphis is done. I thought Calipari leaving meant that.
  19. SouthSideRyan
    You're right, UMass and UNLV are high profile too.

    Just the first in a series of moves for the Red Sox...
  21. SouthSideRyan
    Micah Hoffpauir isn't any good.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    Not allow you to listen to his postgame press conferences.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    I just got a sick feeling that Von Joshua is going to be let go.

With Calipari gone and Memphis's program an afterthought they were able to actually do something(however pointless it may be) Yes, Memphis is high profile. Three straight elite 8's and a sweet 16 is fairly good. And they'll probably return to the tournament again next year. I don't really even see an argument as to whether Memphis is considered high profile or not. You mean, 2 straight elite eights and a sweet 16. No, I meant 3. Not to mention a national title game thrown in there. I don't recall that. I also don't see how a team that set the record for most losses in a season can be considered elite.

    Yeah, we need a fiery guy to replace that old softie Lou Piniella. SORIANO!!! PLAY BETTER OR I'LL ASK YOU TO GIVE UP 100M CAUSE I'M ANGRY Im saying Soriano would be begging to opt out. A lot of people dont quite know the extent of Bobby Vs reputation. no, he wouldn't. no, he wouldnt but still, if nothing else, we could get some great post games out of him. WELL SIGN HIM UP THEN
