    We'll see how ready Oden will be to start as a 19-year old big man with one year of college experience. If Oden is ready to play right away, play him with Wallace.

    He's still not even fully healed. Ron has said he's still unable to shift his weight onto the foot that he hurt and he's generating zero power this year. I wonder if surgery would help? If it's just rest, I guess he has to wait till the offseason.

    No more crazy than someone putting a hill and a flag pole in centerfield. :D They should have added a windmill and a giant plaster dinosaur while they were at it. What, did the Astros start playing in Palm Springs?

    Heh, you answered my question before I asked it.

    How has Prior looked? I see a couple walks and a couple of Ks so far.

    Gotta wait for the World Series to find out.

    By the way, I don't think USC will win the Pac-10. Either Oregon or Cal will have the honors.

    This should be a rebuilding year for the Bruins - they've lost most of the best players and leaders from last year's 10-2 team (Drew Olson, Marcedes Lewis, Maurice Drew, Spencer Havner, Jarrad Page). Ben Olson, the most hyped QB to come to Westwood since Troy Aikman, will be the starter as a RS sophomore. I expect he'll struggle a bit, though. I expect a 7-5 season (losses to Notre Dame, Cal and Oregon on the road and 2 losses out of the USC, ASU, and Utah home games), anything worse than 6-6 will be disappointing. With the recruiting classes that Dorrell has built up this season (focusing on the OL and DL) and next season (the skill players), I'm actually excited about UCLA football in 2007 - and I don't want Dorrell fired for the first time ever.

    Chad Ford won't give up.

    Yeesh, what a sad story this has become. I don't expect to see him pitch in the Cubs system again.

    No love for Bobby Brownlie? :(

    After starting 2-9, Boise has won 4 in a row to get themselves in a three-way tie for the NWL East division. That's right, they're tied for first place with a 6-9 record. Here's an Idaho Statesman story about Tyler Colvin adjusting to pro baseball.

    Probable Starters: Iowa: RHP Angel Guzman (2-4, 4.32 ERA, 41.2 IP, 47/12, 1.25 WHIP) vs. RHP Steve Watkins (4-2, 3.60 ERA) West Tenn: RHP Bobby Brownlie (2-6, 5.83 ERA, 41.2 IP, 33/16, 1.73 WHIP) Daytona: LHP Donnie Veal (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 11.2 IP, 7/7, 1.29 WHIP) Peoria: RHP Mitch Atkins (6-2, 2.63 ERA, 82 IP, 74/32, 1.20 WHIP) vs. RHP Jake Rasner (4-9, 4.04 ERA) Boise: RHP Bill Muldowney (0-0, 1.86 ERA, 9.2 IP, 10/2, 0.93 WHIP) & LHP Mark Pawelek (0-3, 5.58 ERA, 9.2 IP, 6/5, 2 HBP, 1.76 WHIP) vs. RHP Cesar Valdez (0-3, 4.00 ERA) Mesa: RHP Robert Hernandez (0-0, 3.38 ERA, 5.1 IP, 0/1, 1.31 WHIP) In Boise, Muldowney and Pawelek will be tag teaming, Muldowney will start.

    Hopefully that's true. The ESPN link didn't even mention the Cubs had a chance at him and said Atlanta, Cincinnati, Cleveland, the Mets and Washington were amongst those interested. If they get Pena too, that would really be a good return to the Latin American market. Now to just get back into the Pac Rim/Asian market...

    Yay, Gooz has been freed (starting at AAA >>> sitting on the bench in Chicago).
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Great pics, Fred. Nice to see some faces of the posters around here.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Pina is having a whale of a game. 6 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 2/1
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Michael Main/Robert Stock/David Price come on down!
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    He should have bunted instead of hitting that HR.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Huseby has the same advisor as Samardzija.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    You mean the school with all those criminals? (You know, you really can't go wrong saying that about either USC.)
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    He's probably working out in the Mesa facilities. He was drafted out of HS and was considered pretty raw. BA finally confirms in a story mainly on the Huseby signing:
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Slugger's such an instigator. You never see me bad mouthing ND. :^o
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Like Jon, I didn't think the Bulls would get him...let alone for 4 years. Awesome!
