Maybe KU can slip into a 1 seed. Wiscy has lost twice this week. UNC loses again... Florida lost also.
-
development be damned. if oden is a top 3 pick, he'd be insane not to go pro. Just because he could be a top 3 pick doesn't mean he's ready to play in the NBA. They are two completely different things.

2007 Spring Training NOW WITH PICTURES thread
soccer10k replied to moorecg's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I always wonder when someone with a last name starting with K names their children K first names. Especially when they butcher a regular name in order to make it start with a K... As long as they don't have middle names that start with the letter K it's alright. -
His arm fell off the other day. They have to reattach it.

Would Bill Simmons' head explode if Durant and Oden stayed in school another year? It's quite possible. Especially if Boston ended up with the #1 pick. ETA: Though I think Durant is more likely to go pro then Oden.
-
Oden should stay in college for another year. He's nowhere near polished enough offensively to play in the NBA. I know his hurt wrist hasn't helped his play but that is also the same reason he should stay for another year. I just think he would be better served playing at OSU for one more year.

They haven't begun to think in those terms yet. That's disturbing that they haven't at least thought of it. We're talking about a guy with a 6.02 ERA last year. I can't believe that he'll be allowed to post those type of numbers for very long after all the "World Series or bust" talk this offseason. It would make those words ring hollow if they were willing to keep a player starting for no reason other than contract. Why in the world would they talk about that issue publicly to the media? No team signs a guy for three years and $21 million and then says, "What do we do if he sucks?" No team. You're right, there's no way a team will talk about that publicly. Why plant a negative seed in a player's mind? The Cubs fully anticipate Marquis being in their rotation and being effective. If that doesn't happen, they'll cross that bridge when they come to it. Not to mention that they haven't even started playing spring training games yet. If Marquis gets hit hard in his first few spring training appearances, I could see the team, at least internally and not in the media, talk about what they would do if Marquis didn't show improvement. But they signed the guy for a reason (not saying I agree with the reason) and they aren't going to start considering alternatives when the guy hasn't pitched in a game in their uniform yet.

And JaMarcus Russell is a sure thing? Close to one, but look towards South Bend for another Russell is far from a sure thing. The hype machine really started rolling around him because of one game - the Sugar Bowl against a bad (sorry Andy but it's true) Notre Dame defense. He decided to go pro because the media was going crazy over his performance. Personally, I think Brady Quinn is the better QB and will be the better QB but I'm not sure if he's worth the number 1 pick.
-
It sure didn't look very good.
-
His scoring.
-
I don't think they need to trade Porter and I don't think they should. His beef last year was mainly with Art Shell. So if he gets along with Kiffin, there is no reason to trade him. Moss is completely different story.
-
And JaMarcus Russell is a sure thing?
-
I'll predict a 75-67 OSU win.
-
That means he had Tommy John surgery.
-
I refuse to get my hopes up about this. It's hard but I'm trying. It will only make it that much sweeter if he is healthy and pitching well.

Cubs Won't Use DH at Home in Spring Games
soccer10k replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Z needs his in game hitting practice. -
Yeah, unless they upgrade that offensive line I can't see any QB succeeding there-I doubt they will able to be trade down (the #1 pick is usually seen as too expensive unless there is a sure-fire person at the top) but they do need to build the line through either later picks or free agency. with no obvious guy at #1, why wouldn't the Raiders just take Joe Thomas if that 's a need? As you said, I don't know of any team that is clamoring for Quinn or Russell to the point that they'll trade multiple picks just to move up a few slots Two words: Calvin Johnson. Get rid of Moss for whatever a team will give you - some team will give up a second rounder for him. Draft Calvin Johnson #1 overall. Draft Drew Stanton with either the #1 second round pick, mid second rounder or #1 third rounder (depending on where he might go) and then pick a couple O-line.

Definitely good to hear. The last thing the Cubs needed was for Hill to get stuck in the pen or at AAA.

I Like This: Piniella Wants Pitchers to Throw Strikes!
soccer10k replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Throw strikes. What a novel idea. Who knew it could be so simple? -
I especially like that right when they started putting the Yankees on the cover was exactly when the Yankees stopped winning World Series' (at least temporarily, knock on wood).

2007 Spring Training NOW WITH PICTURES thread
soccer10k replied to moorecg's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Im pretty sure that guy in the middle is not Kerry Wood. Definitely not Kerry Wood. That's Wade Miller. Yeah, looks like Miller to me. -
Who are your ones then? Please say Kansas. well, KU has a better resume than OSU. But I'd go Fla, UCLA, UNC, Wiscy. aTm or KU have a chance if they win out and one of those teams really stumbles. Those are my four right now too. But there are a couple of teams that could slide in if UNC or Wisc loses their conference tourney. Pitt, if they won the Big East Tourney would have an outside shot, and Kansas, who has already beaten a number 1 team this year when they beat Florida would have a shot. A team I think will do some serious damage, and could possibly sneak into a number 1 slot (with A LOT of help), would be Georgetown. They are probably the hottest team in the country right now. I would think that UCLA, UNC, and Florida are all but locks right now barring a collapse down the stretch or an early exit in the conference tourney. UNC is probably the most likely of those to drop since they have 4 losses while the other two have 3. And right now I would give Wisconsin the fourth over OSU because of the head to head victory for the Badgers but that could change on Sunday. If Wisconsin wins that though I would think they will lock up a #1 seed.

i was watching when this happened. he looked like he was in extreme pain. he was sobbing on the bench before they wheeled him out. Yeah, it didn't look like that bad of an injury, but he was in such obvious pain on the bench. Imagine being wheelchaired out due to a shoulder injury. Sometimes it's just a freak injury where a guy gets caught at just the right spot at the right angle. I'm not sure if anybody remembers this but Jermaine Dye broke his leg a few years ago when he fouled a ball off of himself. Guys do that all the time (the fouling the ball off themselves part) and generally just get a bruise but Dye broke his leg.

Penn State went on a 14-2 run to take an eight point lead over Ohio State in the first half in Columbus.

Excellent start in the Chelsea-Porto game. It's 1-1 just 16 minutes into the game.
