It would have been such a bad idea on so many levels if the Bulls would have traded Gordon for any of those guys. In any realistic potential trade, I think it would be a bad idea to trade him for just about anybody.
George Mason is looking to make a miracle run to the NCAA tournament. They are the sixth seed in the CAA and are facing top seeded VCU in the championship game. Mason is down 2 with 5:11 to go.
Oh I agree on the trading down part. If the right deal comes and the Raiders can get a ton in return for it, then by all means, go ahead and do it. But I don't think anybody is going to sell the farm to get the #1 pick. But like I said, if the right deal comes around, you have to do it. As for the extra picks, that's why I'm hoping a Moss deal will happen. I figure the Raiders should be able to get a second rounder for him (not great and nowhere near what they gave up for him but it's something they have to do).
I like your optimism, keep up the positive thinking. Myself, I'll give him more than 30 pitches before making a snap judgment. He threw 40 My bad. Stick a fork in him, he's done. Ten pitches changes everything, eh? :wink:
New polls out. AP top 5 is OSU, Kansas, Wisconsin, UCLA, Memphis. Coaches poll top 5 is OSU, Kansas, UCLA, Wisconsin, Memphis. OSU is a near unanimous #1 in both polls as Kansas got 2 and 1 first place votes in the AP and coaches poll.
So I skimmed through the first few pages of the thread (through the first inning) and it appeared that Prior lacked control. Is that what happened in the second inning? Did he get hit hard in the second as well?
Now those who haven't watched it know it didn't end in a tie which, considering how the game ended, could spoil it. So though you tried not to give the result away, you sort of did. :wink:
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. That's quite a 180 by you. I argued a couple of months ago that the Raiders should trade down and get more picks. You told me I was cur-ray-zee. Don't want to speak for soccer here, but I'm pretty sure he wants Calvin Johnson with the first pick. And is also not enamored by JaMarcus Russell. Bingo. I still don't want them to trade down, I just don't want Russell. If they are going to draft a QB #1 overall, I want them to take Quinn. But if I'm running the team, I draft Johnson #1 and try to get Drew Stanton.
They're dead wrong!! It's Scott Eyre who's appeared in 163 games with the Cubs just last season alone. :wink: He's so fat that parts of him appear in games he doesn't even pitch? Or each time he goes out it counts as two appearances.
As I said, the announcers came off as total Duke homers. I wanted to see Hansbrough go ape on Henderson. Woulda loved that. Jim Nantz and Billy Packer. Enough said. Billy Packer is terrible. He did the GT/UNC game on Thursday and in the post game said Tech needed to win 2 or 3 more games. Today, he says Tech is a lock. Packer and Nantz will be there all the way through March. Meh. If Packer had his way, the NCAA tournament would only feature teams from the Big 6 conferences.
Hope Hansbrough is okay. I'm not sure why the announcers insisted that wasn't an intentional foul. The ball was already gone before the Duke player swung.
