Another banner week for USC athletics between that and and the whole White Aryan Nation football thing. an inside joke, and a minor marijuana offense. What horrible human beings :roll: I didn't say that OJ is a horrible human but he continues to make some ridiculous mistakes. I'm sure you also think the USC White Aryan Nation thing is no big deal.

OJ Mayo was arrested last night: Another banner week for USC athletics between that and and the whole White Aryan Nation football thing.

Aww, USC can't ban Reggie Bush from Staples Center.
-
Truly a historic day. Probably gonna be the lead on sportscenter. Hey, Kapono was my favorite player while I was at UCLA.
-
Grr...Tajuan Porter breaks Jason Kapono's record for most 3-pointers by a freshman in the Pac-10. :(
-
If there's someone better than Novoa, why use someone who is good as opposed to someone who is nothing special?
-
Go Oregon! (Eww, that felt gross.)
-
But his lack of "it" wasn't quite as disheartening as his last appearance. Yes, Prior made noticeable improvements.
-
I expect Soto to the primary catcher at Iowa. And Ronny won't be as bad at AAA. Ah yes, I forgot about Soto. Do you think the Cubs will use Soto and Hill at AAA and send Fox to Tennessee? Yeah. Fox and Chris Robinson at AA. ETA: Maybe Tony Richie too.
-
I am unimpressed with the ACC tourney-bound teams besides the Tar Heels.
-
I expect Soto to the primary catcher at Iowa. And Ronny won't be too bad a defensive shortstop at AAA.
-
He played for... Arizona... right? Dodgers, then the DBacks. He was in the Yankees system last season.
-
I'd venture to say his bat could play there now... he just makes Barrett look like Bench at the moment. No kidding.
-
As I said, please please please please please learn how to catch, Jake Fox.
-
No. Starter at Des Moines or Wrigley.
-
3 plus pitches are back. :)
-
He has to be expendable, Billy Butler cannot possibly step on a field. Ever. And people complain about Dunn's defense.
-
Please elaborate. Why the guy would say anything that would even insinuate something like this is about a teammate is beyond me. He didn't insinuate that Prior was done. Pleasac asked him a question about expectations and prefaced it by saying "If you can get the pitching shored up, the offense looks like one of the best in the league." In the midst of his answer, DeRosa said, "With the way Guzman is throwing the ball, he might be our fifth starter." There was no dig at Prior whatsoever. I didn't mean to say it was a dig but it definitely didn't show any confidence in Prior's ability to rebound... You hear statements like that all the time in ST. It meant less than nothing, IMO. If both pitchers were no-names I'd agree but when you have someone with the pedigree of Mark Prior, it's hard to agree. Perhaps if DeRosa had a chance to think about his answer it would have been more diplomatic but I think his thoughts about Angel are telling. It's still relatively early in ST yet DeRosa doesn't feel that Prior will rebound. He was being honest about his feelings for Guzman... The guys on the team just want to win. A new guy like DeRosa has no allegiance to Mark Prior. As such, he's given his gut feeling. Based on what everyone else has quoted as DeRosa's comments, you're definitely digging way too deep on what DeRosa said.
-
Aww, now Richard Lewis and Andy Pratt are no longer Cubs. :(
-
Buck Coats can play SS. Not well. But he has had quite a few games there in the minors.
-
Guess it's time to say go Ohio State.
-
Oh, and the most important thing about Guzman's outing have been all those groundballs. He's getting the sink that he didn't have last season (along with the command). :D
