    Haha, UM fan decked out in a jersey and hat talking trash to USC people
  2. UMFan83
    Ugh, huge stop for USC
  3. UMFan83
    Florida scores, up 10-0 now on Arkansas. Cmon Hogs, show up!
  4. UMFan83
    This is a fun game to watch. I was just watching ESPN and they are already pimping up Florida just in case. I guess the experts want anyone but Michigan in the title game.

    NICE! Just scored a ticket to the game, courtesy of NSBB member jmajew

    Why did the RB give up on such a close play? I can't believe he didn't try to fall on the ball... That said, I am starting to believe that short of lofting the ball up for Jarrett, USC cant move the ball on UCLAs D

    i agree... i would love this... but DEFENSE??? :shock: We had 4 players (Lee, Sosa, Alou, Ramirez) with 30 HRs and 1 more (Patterson) with 24 in 2004 and we didn't have the best offense.

    USC wins, they play Ohio State USC loses, Florida wins, Michigan plays Ohio State USC loses, Florida loses, Michigan plays Ohio State What if Florida wins by 137 points tonight?
  9. UMFan83
    Any chance UCLA can pull this out today? :prays:
  10. UMFan83
    DePaul wins! Too bad I was too hung over to go.........
  11. UMFan83
    There was a much larger thread involving Soriano during that same time period, better bumping material

    What the heck is so attractive about a Bears/Bucs game? Everyone knows that the Bucs haven't won a game in freezing weather in countless years. I doubt that's going to change in a few weeks. There has to be some other game that they can go to. Oh yeah, the Packers-49ers game :wink: Except for the fact that in 2002 they beat the Bucs in frozen Champaign and the Eagles in freezing Philly in the NFC championship game en route to the Super Bowl

    Unfulfilled expectations + numerous setbacks + team sucking + perceived unpassionate attitude = fans unfairly turning on Prior
  14. UMFan83
    Podsednik was 264th in the majors with a 5.8 VORP. Lee was 98th with a 24.7 This takes into account SB. It was a bad trade, but at the same time, you can't argue with a WS title...can you?
  15. UMFan83
    Good for Prior, good to see promising signs in the organization after 2 years straight of almost completely negatives.
  16. UMFan83
    Yeah this coming on the heels of Steve Bartman ruining our chance to goto the World Series. Geez
  17. UMFan83
    I know he "aged" 2-3 years at some point in his career. The Cubs research staff were probably lazy and used some old information in making their article
  18. UMFan83
    if this team stays healthy, there is no reason why it shouldnt be way over .500 as it stands right now? way? there is very little starting pitching on the team as of 11/28/06 If all are healthy its Zambrano Hill Prior Miller Marshall/Marmol/Mateo/Guzman Not a great rotation, probably in the bottom third. Of course if we got 2003 Prior, and 2002 Miller and a second half 2006 Hill we are looking pretty good.

    Albert is turning into a jerk. A jerk with a World Series ring though :mad:
  20. UMFan83
    Haha, if the Padres give up Adrian Gonzalez for Manny, they get whatever comes to them. I'm not sure that I'd give up Peavy for Manny to be honest...but maybe I'm just around Red Sox fans too much.
  21. UMFan83
    Bruce, any idea on whether the Cubs will let him play winter ball? I know they said they weren't too fond of the idea...but will they at least entertain the idea. Obviously there are pluses and minuses to both sides. I'm guessing it won't be a huge deal because if it was, he wouldn't have signed with us without getting the OK
  22. UMFan83
    Seattle can't be the favorites until they learn to tackle and play better D. Seeing SA run for over 200 yards did scare the crap out of me though
  23. UMFan83
    Bruce, you are such a buzzkill today :)

    Source: http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/features/rumors Hendry will bid 4/60 soon. Would rather have written off 2007 and given our stable of 4A pitchers a chance to earn a rotation spot, then evaluate and address needs in the offseason. Sadly that ship has sailed(sigh). Was there even a ship to begin with? Outside of Hill, our current crop of youngsters ain't too pretty. I'm thinking some of them will improve, but do you really think any of them until Veal and Gallagher would improve THAT much? I don't know, but it would have been nice to find out. Not having humongous bubble-year contracts on the books for the next half decade would have been cool too. Hopefully you weren't one of the people saying "please I don't care what you have to do, just win a World Series" during last season. Look the fans want to win now, and that is what the management is trying to do. I know its completely short sighted and we'll regret it, but within reason, I'll worry about the future in the future. In terms of our 'crops' of pitchers, I saw enough of that last year.

    Rumor was also picked up by SI.com http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/baseball/mlb/11/28/schmidt.cubs/index.html Wow they seem pretty certain that the offer was made But the article goes on to say that:
