    1 - I think they were mostly kidding around about that...although I wouldn't be too surprised to see him cut it anyway after hearing his own comments. 2 - I'm pretty sure that was from the first day of workouts. ;) Apparently he has already cut his hair.

    Yeah, I heard about that, but I don't know who did it. From what I can tell, it was a really bad situation. Some Vanderbilt student shoved Corey Brewer from behind. Good of Brewer to not retaliate. I didn't see the game so I don't know what happened. However, the local sports coverage had been talking about a lot of trash talking taking place between the two teams. In fact, the media seemed to be fueling it with a bunch of interviews with players on both teams talking trash. I believe Vandy is unbeaten in their building against #1 ranked teams. Joakim Noah and Vandy's coach were ready to throw down earlier - it was a very strange situation. Vandy is 6-6 against #1 all time.

    Not too shabby. Just wondering, is there any site in particular you use to see their statlines? I check out the cstv sites. Vanderbilt's doubleheader was rained out today, they'll try to play two tomorrow. Not sure if Price will start one of those.

    Jimbo and Kerry must have been on the same diet. (The Z celery and cottage cheese diet?)

    + Gooz Does Guzman really even have that potential anymore after all the injuries and whatnot? He did show some good stuff at times last year but overall I've kinda been considering him an afterthough in the Cubs rotational plans. Reports are that he got his command and his curveball back over the winter. Fleita likes what he's been seeing. And his change should have improved too, you could tell he was rusty and feeling his way back last season. That K/BB ratio in Venezuela was sexy.

    So he was only out two days? Impressive. I thought he had actually been out since the incident on Monday night, which would have made it 4-5 days. Meh, I was judging based on the day the thread was created.

    By the way, I agree with Laura. The only similarities I see are that Slowey and Gallagher don't throw as hard as most prospects rated similarly and have above average control. Slowey's fastball is better (but Gallagher has the advantage in velocity) and Gallagher's offspeed pitches are way better. Gallagher has a wider aresnal of pitches. And I think Gallagher's control will rebound after he struggled with it at AA last season. I think Sean will be a better big leaguer.

    Woot!

    best case scenario, briggs signs a huge deal with another team, we pick posluszny and get the picks. i love briggs and think he should be re-signed, but a chance to replace him with a talent like pos while getting a couple first rounders would be pretty sweet. I don't see any way a team would be willing to part with two first rounders for Briggs (I know the Bears could agree to receive less, but I don't see that happening either).

    And Washington loses another winnable game by 4 to Pitt. Looks like it's only going to be 6 teams from the Pac-10 unless U-Dub does something improbable (their schedule: at Oregon St, at Oregon, vs. USC, vs. UCLA, Pac-10 Tourney).
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    =; Only Hester gets to be ridiculous. Washington is right there against #5 Pitt in Pittsburgh, c'mon Huskies!
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Dunno about a bunch, definitely one divisional rival we know of that was considering taking him much earlier than where the Cubs got him.

    He had a spat with the UCLA cheerleaders last year in the NC game. Florida loses 83-70 at Vanderbilt. UCLA sweeps Arizona for the second straight season, winning 81-66 at McKale. Darren Collison with a career high 15 assists, one short of Earl Watson's UCLA record. Josh Shipp tied his career high with 24 points (it's great to see him have a huge game). Arron Afflalo came up a little gimpy after stupid Mustafa Shakur clipped and took out Arron's legs going for a loose ball late in the game. Arron better be ok. :?

    Peoria could have a really nice team this year. I'd be pleasantly surprised if Rundle makes it up to Peoria to start the season. But there's potentially a lot of talent on that team.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Well, he was third round talent that fell.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    It's down to Neifi or Hank White. i hate you. The feeling is mutual. :)

    UCLA vs. Arizona at Tempe on Saturday morning. Darren Collison (shoulder), Lorenzo Mata (hip) and Luch Richard Mbah a Moute (eye) are all expected to play.

    Oneri (and maybe even Hendry?) were touting him at the convention. Gooz has his curve and command back, I think he's going to have a big year this year. Hopefully it will be in the big leagues and not at Iowa.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Weren't you pimping Marshall for the past couple of years? Don't worry--my boy was Brownlie. :dumb: Yes, I like Marshall but right now both Hill and the Guzman who was pitching in Venezuela this winter are ahead of him.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    There are 21 million reasons that Marquis is penciled in the rotation (or is it 20 million?). And Gooz is going to be in on this competition between Hill, Miller and Prior (and Marshall won't be). You just watch.

    Samardzija's hair isn't *that* long.
