    Damn. I wanted the Raiders to sign Garcia in hopes that it would make them rethink their decision to draft Russell #1 overall. Oh well.

    For those of us who haven't been following the game, how did Miller look today?

    Oh I agree. Law is unreal. Ohio State is pretty good too and everyone is sleeping on them. I can see OSU leaving early (Sweet 16/Elite 8-ish). Of course I can think of a way any team could be out early, there's no clear cut leader of the pack this year. They are what 15-1 in the big ten. I love how since you are from the big ten you are the team that will go out early. I think they have grown a lot and will be a very, very tough out. I don't see where Raisin said because OSU is from the Big Ten they will go out early. He also says he could see ANY team going out early this year.

    Stanford getting pounded at home against Arizona. This kind of a game is not what their tourney hopes needed.

    I don't understand why this is so difficult for people to understand. It's a Page 2 article, poking fun at the GMs that through money around for all sorts of guys this offseason. It's not about the Cubs. It's the comment that closes the article, which specifically calls out the Cubs. Who cares? He only made that comment because the Cubs were the biggest spenders in the offseason. All the guy is saying is that it isn't easy to buy a championship. And he did it after ripping Kevin Malone for the insane contracts he gave out as GM of the Dodgers. EDIT: Not to mention the Cubs did lose 96 games last year and going worst to first isn't exactly a common occurrence.

    I didn't know that hitting .284/.342/.901 with 4HR and 18RBI in 48 games is "tearing it up". How are these numbers David Shoenfield? .328/.412/.934 with 3HR 16RBI and 13SB in 53 games? He says Loney's numbers were "tearing it up" in the bigs and says they should've avoided Garciaparra, but make no mention of Theriot's performance in the DeRosa discussion? Ignorance. Yeah, Loney is a highly touted prospect, but he didn't "tear it up" in the bigs. A .901 OPS for a rookie is quite impressive. I realize Loney only got 102 AB's so we're talking a smaller sample size here but I would say Loney tore it up in the majors last year. There were only 30 players in the majors last year who posted a .900+ OPS last year. I know his OBP was about average but his SLG was great.

    Diarrhea of the mouth, that doesn't sound good.

    GO CUBS!!

    There is the possibility, although not likely, that if ARod opts out he might not want to max out his value in a new contract and take a little less money to play somewhere he likes. Not saying it's likely, but it's possible.

    Is there a way to search for groups on Facebook or do you have to invite people to join? Nevermind, I found it.

    I would say Pujols but that's only because I don't know much about fantasy hockey leagues and what goes into the scoring (and yes I know that Truffle just posted it but I haven't done a fantasy hockey league before). As has been said, I could see Tomlinson going #1 in a lot of leagues but it's not a slam dunk (you know, since you could pick Reggie Bush :D) and there are a number of players would would get picked just as often as LeBron at #1 in basketball.

    Is there a good place to see spring training box scores as the game is going on?
  13. soccer10k
    You could try KNBR.com.

    Hey SSR, how many teams the Mountain West will get in the tourney? I would think BYU, UNLV, and Air Force are in while San Diego State has a decent shot.
  15. soccer10k
    You're not predicting a WS winner? 8-) No, I'm not feeling too bold yet. 8-) 8-) Just figured I would join in.
  16. soccer10k
    True, I dislike the Big 12 though for having too many teams. You guys never play the Texas schools twice in a year huh? What do you think of the Big East then? :D
  17. soccer10k
    I would take that also. I figured they could get a second rounder from some team. I don't know how reputable KNBR is as far as reporting rumors but they are the major sports radio station out here.

    Took the Bears long enough to give Lovie his money.

    If Dusty was still managing this would all but ensure Wuertz spending 2 months at AAA.
  20. soccer10k
    It was around April 19 for me.
  21. soccer10k
    No, no, no.....yes. A bit, a bit.
  22. soccer10k
    Absolutely not.

    No criticism that I know of at GT. The only worry I have (and this COULD fall on the QB at Tech) is that he disappeared at times during big games when he wasn't thrown to early. I have no idea if he was shut down, or if he was pulling a Randy Moss and taking plays off. as others have born witness, it was reggie ball who disappeared, not johnson. I mistakenly doubted Johnson but after the bowl performance against West Virginia - when he actually had a semi competent QB throwing the ball to him - I realized it was Ball who brought him down. It took you that long? I realized in the 2nd half of GT vs ND in the 06 opener that Calvin Johnson had been screwed over. I didn't know much about him before this year and I didn't get to watch the GT-ND game. The first game I really got a chance to watch was the game against WVU. The ACC championship game was unwatchable. I think their game against Clemson was the ESPN featured game but I didn't get to watch that one either.

    I'll take it. Just get rid of Moss and draft Calvin Johnson. Oh, and I am SO unbelievably happy that Aaron Brooks is no longer on the team.

So you're ok with your Ball disappearing but not your Johnson? We have the makings of a dirty old man right here.
