    Wow, their punter is pissing me off.

    Wow, the Bears are lucky not to be losing yet.

    If we start patterson in RF and he flops, there will be no deadline deal. You don't broker big deals in a push for 4th place. But you do postpone Kerry Wood's surgery to get him some set up work.

    The LA Daily News is reporting Reggie Bush will turn pro. Pete will be meeting with his juniors next week and USC will probably have a group press conference like Lofa Totupu, Matt Leinart and Tom Malone had last year. From what I've heard, RB Bush, RB LenDale White and OT Winston Justice are definitely gone. S Darnell Bing is also likely to turn pro, but WR Steve Smith is unsure.

    UCLA beat Michigan 68-61, even though a certain NSBB poster IMed me last night while I was away to inform me that UCLA would lose. :P UCLA is now 8-1, their only loss was by 8 points to #5 Memphis.

    What did Barrett do to your family?
  7. CaliforniaRaisin
    my god, shut up. That's uncalled for.

    Haha, I gave up on 06 a long time ago. If you add Jacque to the current team, would he be Dusty's #5 hitter?

    The Mets need to actually make the playoffs before anyone can say they have anything on the Yankees. And even then, NY will be a Yankees town. The Cubs will still outdraw the White Sox, but the Sox should definitely make Chicago less of a Cubs town after the World Series. Now, if you want to actually see an example of a big name team start losing out in a two-market region, look at LA. The Dodgers are starting to play second fiddle to the Angels here, especially when you consider attendance and recent success.

    You gave your kids Mountain Dew? I hope you gave it 3 minutes before school ended.

    In order for that study to be of use, seems to me you'd have to figure out a way to account for the times a strong arm kept an outfielder from having to make a throw. On a shallow sac fly, I suspect a runner on third is a lot more likely to run on Manny than Ichiro. You're absolutely right... however, you could account for that by simply changing the number of throws to number of opportunities. Runner on first, see how many times a ball was hit to right vs. the number of times it was hit to left. I might be way off base, but I'm willling to bet that my theory is pretty accurate. That assumes all hits to the OF are the same. A harder-hit-than-normal single isn't as likely to advance a runner as a weaker one. And the odds are higher that a blooper with less than 2 outs will keep things station to station, regardless of where in the OF it was hit.

    #51 is taken. Gallagher wore #51 in the one Daytona game he pitched. =; Poor Juan Cruz and Jon Leicester.

    so do i! i also remember trying to stay up later than you. it was pointless though, because you live in PST :( raisin outsources his late-night posting to malaysia Poor India.

    I remember this debate in Chit Chat (complete with the map and everything). Don't tell me Chit Chat was worthless. We were years ahead of you people.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Well, it depends which weekend I head out to Arizona for spring training. I'd be very interested if you have any spares though (as long as they're $50 or under).
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Are tickets already sold out?
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Are you guys really going to able to outbid USC for his services? :wink: Well, his parents really want him to go to UCLA, so we obviously outbided USC in that department (Allen himself is supposedly leaning towards USC though :().
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Time to visit Spence and play some PSP (especially since he already has his own PSP)!
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Because he's miles ahead of Pierre in terms of CF defense? If this has to happen, you move Pierre to RF.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Soda.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    I'll be pissed if Z gets hurt.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    5-star LB/S Allen Bradford is down to USC and UCLA and he visits UCLA Friday. It'd be nice to have a 5-star kid pick UCLA over USC. Hasn't happened since Marcedes Lewis came to UCLA.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Sideways hat?
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Wow, Chris Young for Javier Vasquez? The DBacks have a glut of young minor league OFs, especially with Young ready by the end of this year too. Can we trade for Quentin or Tracy yet?
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    That's not even close to what they supposedly were asking from us. I forget the name of their pitching prospect, but considering Anaheim's superior minor league system, he's probably better than anything the Cubs are offering. Cabrera & Shields are nice pickups too. Anaheim's pitching prospects aren't anywhere near as good as their hitting prospects.
