  1. Bradley looks tense too.
  2. Kerry will be starting before Prior. You heard it here first. (oh and be prepared for the Giles argument re: Jones) I don't think Giles is a much better player than Jones and he's four years older as well meaning he's much more prone for a big dropoff and injuries. I'm not saying I think Jones is a better player, I just don't know why so many people on this board worship Giles like a god. Giles is very good at not making outs. Almost better than anyone. He also hits for a good deal of power, masked somewhat in recent years by Petco's spacious dimensions. On the other hand, Jones has a quite low OBP for an outfielder, and he hasn't put up decent offensive numbers in several years.
  3. Texbook example right there of Redick pandering for the call. He has the baseline wide open and he tries to fall backwards to draw contact before the layup. Too bad the guy backed off and he missed the uncontested shot. Also, someone needs to tell Davis that he's a ginormous person and should stop trying to dribble penetrate and shoot from the perimeter.
  4. Not sure, team's been on the road and I've been busy before break, so I haven't kept up as well. My inside guy said they stopped telling him what was wrong with Max. However, he did interview him for Inside Mizzou, so Scherzer is still alive.
  5. someone big. Aldridge, Davis, that type. As in Paul Davis? With a lottery pick?
  6. So they're actually giving thought to keeping both Wellemeyer and Ryu instead of Wuertz? That's heinously dumb.
  7. What does Wuertz have to do with Ryu making the team? Surely they aren't considering leaving Wuertz off the 25 man, right?
  8. Very funny, but why did you say NSFW? Ballpark_Frank uses a little language, but that's all I could see.
  9. COME ON EVERYONE, TIME TO STEP UP who wants the "i hope you shred your knee, garoid" signature? No assembly required http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y44/cubsfan_05/steroidfield.jpg
  10. AlwaysAlwaysAlways say how many teams are in the league.
  11. With Ponson destined for unparallelled levels of success, they're actually going to trade away any and all starting pitching they have to build a super-bench to go with an uber-bullpen. Ponson will pitch 5 innings in every game, his "strong" frame helping to give him the durability to perform day in and day out.
  12. Speaking of Gonzaga and Morrison, this reminded me of this.
  13. How is that NSFW language? The most profane word in there is" nuts".
  14. People can critcize Soriano for lots of reasons (money, defense, attitude, etc.), but to say that Soriano is only a "marginal improvement offensively" over Walker is ridiculous. I like Walker, but he has to fight for a starting job every year while Soriano is making All-Star teams. Offensively, Soriano is Jeff Kent with speed. 2004: 98 OPS+ 2005: 110 OPS+ 2004: 105 OPS+ 2005: 115 OPS+ Which one is Walker, and which one is Soriano? Highlight to find out
  15. Not really. Central Michigan Grad, assistant at MSU under Heathcoate, assistant at Pitt and Western Kentucky, assistant at MSU under Izzo, Marquette head coach.
  16. Yep, potshots at the other team. That's what we're all about here at NSBB. And racist remarks? What are you talking about? I'm not talking about anything specific. I'm just saying......... it's hard to deal with Cub fans here, because of the personal shots that they take. Okay. Pretty much false, but whatever.

  18. Pssst, there's a massive thread on the topic directly below.
  19. KC Star says Alford won't interview at Mizzou Apparently the DeArmonds are pretty reliable, so this is good news.
  20. And either way, it's not like that situation is why Soriano is being shone in a bad light.
  21. According to the Baseball Cube, Ryu turns 23 in May. You're right. My math is not. I saw he was born in 83, and said 21. It's 2006 right? That's the word around town.
  22. There's a committee, a torn one at that. Apparently, all except Alden(and by extension, the higher ups at the University) were in favor of going after Huggins, or at least that's the rumor. I can't remember who all is on the committee, pretty sure Link the radio announcer(the guy involved with the Snyder resignation fiasco) as well as Jon Sundvold are both a part of it. Norm Stewart is not on the committee.
  23. According to the Baseball Cube, Ryu turns 23 in May.
  24. Because Dusty would have the sense to not bat Neifi near the top of the lineup for any period of time? The guy had 390 plate appearances at the 1-2 spot last year, 274 of them hitting second(exact same number as Todd Walker). If you don't think Dusty is going to do that again, that's fine. But labelling people as paranoid because Dusty has done it before and is doing it again(albeit in spring training) is unnecessary and ultimatlely wrong.
