    I honestly can't believe what I'm watching right now especially after Louisville roasted them to go up 25-7.

    For once, Louisville's defense is going to have to win this game for them.

    The guy who runs this website is a Yankee fan who lives in Japan. I've been monitoring that site and have to say, I'm disappointed to point out that Matsuzaka is not going to be a FA in the winter of 2007. He will still be under the Lion's control. So, they could retract him from the market and post him again next year (not "allow him to walk in the winter of 2007 for nothing") if they feel that they do not have a satisfactory offer. Which, if the reports that the highest bid is in the 15M range are true (which I do not believe), they could send a message to MLB that if they really want Matsuzaka they can bid next year for 30M. Its a risky move especially because if Matsuzaka gets hurt they will be SOL. Also, the team is in poor financial shape, but I have to believe if its worth 15M more, they might just hold out a year. Couldn't that also backfire on them though. If they retract him this year, he pitches in Japan in 2007, and then they try to post him next year, the teams might just say "screw it, we'll wait until he's a free agent after 2008" or make even lower offers. Not saying this would happen, but it's something to consider.

    The Rutgers D has definitely impressed tonight.

    Either Matsuzaka or Zito. No on Schmidt.

    Louisville has now scored more points than any Rutgers opponent this year.

    I'll be reloading ESPN while at the newspaper later then.

    Oh my goodness. Bobby Petrino is pulling out all the stops. Fake punt from their own half of the field.

    Lucky, I want to go to a bar too but I have a stupid Business Law test tomorrow. Hopefully we find out before I go to bed around 2:30 this morning. Minor details. One of my friends had a big engineering test today at 11 am but still got hammered at a restaurant/bar for dollar pint night.

    Wow, that was crazy. A blocked extra point and Rutgers just watched the ball as a Louisville player picked it up and ran it in for two points. 15-7 Louisville.

    I did hear on ESPNews earlier today that the Seibu Lions would meet Friday to determine whether they would accept the high bid. I guess its Friday there now, right? Yes Maybe an announcement will come at noon their time (pure speculation on my part) Which would be 9PM central time. After drive time, that would give me approximately 4 hours and 45 minutes of time to either celebrate or drown my sorrows... Works for me. If you lived on the West Coast you would have 2 extra hours.

    That was big. Pick by Rutgers and a TD on the first play following the INT.
  15. soccer10k
    no way. It is somewhat obvious that it is a "db" There are still people who are just first realizing that the ball and glove logo has an mb in it. You guys just blew my mind :shock: . I had NEVER noticed that. OMG I never realized that. :!: Chalk me up as one who didn't know about the Brewers hat.
  16. soccer10k
    Impressive drive by Louisville. 7-0.
  17. soccer10k
    Did you learn this from OleMissCub?
  18. soccer10k
    In Premium or Regular?
  19. soccer10k
    Exactly what I wanted to hear.

    That was the thing with an undefeated Utah playing Pittsburgh in the Fiesta Bowl a couple years back. If Utah won, which they did, then it was because they were playing a team that wasn't very good (Pitt had 3 losses coming in and, as a note, this isn't a shot against the Big East). If Utah lost, then they obviously weren't that good. I really wanted Utah to play Auburn that year.
  21. soccer10k
    Yeah, I know. But I just couldn't help myself. I edited it out though.
  22. soccer10k
    They aren't bad. Nothing special but not horrendous.

    Is it really that hard to grasp that Lee's numbers at Wrigley and the reason he likes hitting there is due to crappy Cub pitching and that if he came to play for the Cubs he wouldn't get to face that crappy Cub pitching when he plays in Wrigley? Then explain Moises Alou? Before Alou signed with the Cubs a few yrs ago, Alou had a career BA at Wrigley near the mendoza line. Maybe it's the "crappy pitching", but there are more variable of hitting at a certain park. Maybe as a hitter, he is really comfortable seeing the ball, etc, etc, etc. So I doubt the "crappy pitching" is the only reason why he seems to kill the Cubs. Obviously it's not the only reason but I think a team's pitching staff is a bigger thing than the park he's playing in.

    I would probably immediately start worrying about whether the guy will truly live up to his billing. I would start a pool on how long it will be before he goes on the DL.
