    im glad gary d. isnt doing big ten games anymore. vern is kinda cool. kinda like keith jax. Bill Simmons' latest column was right with regards to modern attitudes of announcers. These guys act like we're watching the game for them rather than for the game itself. There are some times these guys should clam up. My personal favorite is when they start crying about a penalty and the replay shows it was completely justified...so they either have to stand by it and look like tools or go back on it and equally look like tools. My personal favorite moment of that was when Sean Taylor spit on some one last year in the NFL playoffs and got ejected, only it was not clear at first that he hocked a loogy at the guy. Of course, Paul Maguire and Joe Theismann were going ape over him getting kicked out, talking over the ref who explained why he kicked Taylor out, and missing out on the explanation altogether. Good times, good times. Troy Aikman's varying definitions of pass interference says hi. Joe Buck's life story says hi.

    I think both teams are throwing the kitchen sink at each other in this game.

    I'm hoping Nebraska scores soon. Rutgers/WVU has been plodding so far and it'd be nice to have another good game to flip to.

    Whiny announcers annoy the hell out of me.
  6. Outshined_One
    That was a heck of a play.
  7. Outshined_One
    Well now, that was unexpected.

    I've said they were over rated all along. Louisville is the team that should be in the game vs Ohio State. If them why not Boise State. I'd pay to see that game. :D

    That was one of the best plays I've ever seen a defensive lineman make.

    Part of the upside of shoring up the rotation would be giving the Cubs some flexibility when it comes to their young starting pitching. Guys like Marshall and Marmol could make attractive pieces in a deal for a SS or CF.

    He actually was Julio Franco's little league coach.

    Without Phillip Hughes on the trade table I cannot see any chance of landing Willis even if they include Duncan. Sanchez was arguably Detroit's top pitching prospect and was fairly well-regarded save for his weight and injury issues. He's probably a small distance behind Hughes in the Yankees' system right now, but he's fairly valuable in his own right. He has terrific patience at the plate and developing power. They'd have to sell their farm system in order to keep Hughes, but I could see them pulling off a trade for Willis. They also have Jose Tabata shooting through the minors.

    The Yankees have been stocking up on RHPs lately. I know their pitching is suspect, but I'm convinced they have something brewing for this offseason.
  14. Outshined_One
    Geez, they just won't give up, will they?

    I can't wait for the Boston sports media to go completely ape over this deal. They'll drive him out of Boston within two years.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2569280 The headline speaks for itself! :shock:

    No Wisconsin in a BCS Bowl makes me a saaaaaaaaaad panda.

    LHPs tend to do better at Yankee Stadium thanks to a cavernous LF, but that kind of coin is insane for the guy.
  19. Outshined_One
    I think its more than that. I think there is a rule that you have to wait a certain amount of time before trading draft picks. One full year after signing the pick.

    San Francisco has absolutely NO ONE that could net Manny in a trade. Their farm system is terrible and Matt Cain is pretty much their only young player they have who has a promising future.

    Awww....man, Boston isn't going to pony up $30 or so million dollars for Igawa? Crap. I can't wait to see what happens when Boston gives up its right to negotiate with Matsuzaka. It's going to be a complete free for all.

    They don't call it The Hall of Elite, either.

    Tony Gwynn's Stats His credentials are impressive, but I wonder how he would fare putting up those kinds of numbers today. He'll definitely make the HOF based on his gold gloves, all star games, postseason numbers, and BA...but still, I have to wonder.

    Light was playing peacemaker? Isn't that a type of ICBM?

    Holding on Tommie there! :evil:
