Mock Headline #2
Transmogrified Tiger replied to HoopsCubs's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
By the end of the offseason, Jones could definitely have some value considering his contract in this market, and he had a career year too. Especially if some team gets shut out from making offensive upgrades. -
No, not really. I think his arm will be fine since he hardly throws any breaking balls, and he kept the ball down last year. He strikes me as a good pitcher - not the kind of guy who falls apart when he loses a tick or two off his fastball. Well it should. A decrease in velocity and the decreasing length of a pitchers stride are two of the biggest keys to a shoulder injury. How many Schmidt starts did you see last season?

Reasons? Far better for non-gaming purposes, better visually, already established compared to the wii, and I personally don't think the wii is going to age well as a console. What does the 360 have that the Wii won't have for non-gaming purposes (besides DVD playback, which there are rumors that the Wii will have an update that will allow that next year)? The 360 is much better suited to be a media hub(hard drive, online store), mostly due to it being Microsoft and its Windows media integration.

360 by far.

Pie was never moved to RF. -
From the mental images you wish weren't burned in your head file, Mangino just got a Harley (Thanks for putting a mike on him for that tidbit, ABC).

Penn State just will not go away. Down 4 with a minute and a half to play. And in my primitive look at U of I, it looked like they didn't have anyone that could do a lot of creating for himself. McBride and Smith are good when they can spot up, but they didn't do a good job of creating anything for themselves, and Frazier isn't good enough (yet?) to create a lot of good opportunities. Speaking of Jamar, where did he go in the second half?

I also want to add that this is the 3rd Duke game I'm casually watching, and in my viewing I think McRoberts is 0 for 9 from under 3 feet. He's the new Shavlik Randolph.

Because Patterson can take a walk, has surprising power, and is rocked his offseason baseball, whereas Pie has struggled mightily. When Patterson was Pie's age, he hadn't played an inning of professional baseball. -
They're also about to sign Kip Wells, Gary Bennett, and Eli Marrero(Marrero is a minor league deal).

Mizzou rolls Coppin State, 98-77. I can't wait for Thursday.
-
Speaking of Giddens, he's doing things out at UNM. I know Colorado may be the worst team in the Big 12 this year, but UNM still beat them by 41. They beat Huggins and Co. by 24 last week too.
-
How do you figure? He's struck out about 8.5 per 9 innings for his career, and was right around that last year. That's quite good for a starter, even if it falls with the increased competition.

2007 Hall of Fame Ballots: Gwynn & Ripken Inducted
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Chris's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It's an insult to baseball that Scott Brosius is on that list. -
Why does it seem that every year the Big 10 gets a bad draw for the challenge?
-
It's not just the BCS bowls. Mizzou has a shot at the Alamo Bowl, but may get passed over for Texas Tech or Kansas State, two teams that Mizzou trounced and have the same conference record as, because they travel better and give the bowl more $$$.
-
Actually, I think I read somewhere that the rules have changed since Irabu, and they cannot trade him. And seriously Boras, 15 million? Get real dude, he's not a FA. If they sign him can they trade him or is he like a free agent and can't be moved until June 15th? That I don't know.

Is there any way for Florida to jump Michigan?

A lot of people around here wish we had just promoted Anderson when we let Richardson go. You got a good one. Richardson was a mentor and father figure to Anderson, so considering the circumstances surrounding Richardson's departure, I doubt Anderson would have taken the job. In fact, some think that Richardson's departure pretty much killed any chance of Anderson ever returning to Arkansas, especially since his only connection there is as an assistant to Richardson(i.e. he didn't play there, grow up there, etc.) And man is that a lot of frontcourt size. We start 1 guy over 6'6(although Marshall Brown plays bigger than his 6'6 frame), and only 2 guys taller than Brown get significant minutes, with both being only 6'9. Gonna need a frantic pace to cover for that, or Grimes and Lyons(and Volkus if needed) need to play out of their minds. EDIT: I lied, Butterfield is around 6'7-6'8 and plays 13 mpg, but he's not a post defender.

The higher the climb, the harder they fall. Plus it helps Mizzou for kU to win against a good non-con opponent(conference strength, strength of schedule, etc.). I want kU to be as highly ranked as possible for both our games against them. On the upcoming schedule front, Mizzou hosts Coppin State tomorrow night. Hopefully they can take care of business and then let loose on Arkansas Thursday. First big game of the year, and should be the best crowd of the year as well. Opposite styles too, with Mizzou being a smaller team that pushes as much as possible, and Arkansas being bigger and playing a slower game. What are Mizzou's strengths this year? Relentless defensive pressure and surprisingly good outside shooting have been the big things thus far. They also share the ball very very well. In a couple games teams have hung with them for a while, but in the second half the difference in conditioning becomes more apparent and the press gains effectiveness. Mizzou also plays a very deep bench, with 9 players averaging at least 13 minutes a game. On the downside, Mizzou is a small team with only a couple bigs. One of the tradeoffs of the "Fastest 40 Minutes" is that we often get outrebounded, but most times that is mitigated by the larger advantage in turnovers. The offense has been stalled for times, especially when our scoring oriented guards(Hannah, Keon Lawrence, Matt Lawrence when someone can get him the ball) aren't on the floor in lieu of defensive minded players like J.T. Tiller and Jason Horton. EDIT: The broken press can also lead to some mismatches in the half court and occasionally some easy buckets. What about the Hogs? I saw the results of their performances on ESPN but didn't get a chance to see them in action.
