What else is new? you watching a game? campbell has been hearing the boos a lot lately 2 of the goals were defensive lapses by Keith, but guess what? He made up with it with 2 points. Campbell hasn't been good or bad this game. Huet has let in 2 soft goals. The Hawks should have 5-6 though... it's [expletive] DubiROYcz in goal... WAIT... WHO???? ...... exactly... no those were 2 seperate thoughts. i was just mentioning that campbell has been hearing it pretty hard lately

Miles career numbers of 290 and 329 OBP are just fine for a bench player. If Miles could get on base at a higher rate, he would be seen as a everyday player(like Theriot and many others). Last year he had a big year and the media started thinking he might be a regular this year, but obviously the Cubs don't expect him to repeat those numbers. Most back up middle infielders don't have higher then a 329 career OBP, and thats why there back ups. Miles asset to the bench is he could hit for average. He can fill in for a regular and go 2 for 4 on any given day, and he can come off the bench and get a big hit off a good pitcher. Having a guy who can consistently hit the ball off the bench is valueable to a team, even if he's only getting singles. There was plenty of times last year, when if Cedeno or Ward just got a single, we would have gotten runs and won a game we lost. Of course the bench also needs power, and thats why Hoffpauir or even Koskie need to be on the roster, and be at the plate with alot of guys on base. But I don't see how having Miles as a back up is bad for the team. I know you love to defend hendry at all costs, but you sill haven't explained why it's okay to give a crappy backup infielder a 2 year deal what does that matter? the cubs, and just about every other major league team, are going to have a crappy backup infielder on the roster year after year. what difference does it make if you sign one to a two year deal, or sign ones to one year deals every year? the money is the problem with miles, not the years. because with every player.... longer contract=higher risk. you risk that player getting hurt and paying for nothing, among other things. with crappy bench players who are found everywhere, there's absolutely no reason to offer a 2 year deal and up the risk for a player who is easily replaced in the offseason.

Name them. Aside from last year and his fluke BA, it's fun to try and name any guys like Miles that stick around in the big leagues. 70something OPS+, can't play SS.. he owes Tony LaRussa quite a bit for putting him there when he clearly should never ever be playing the position. Off the top of my head, Ramon Vazquez, Jerry Hairston, Nick Punto, Alex Cora, and Felipe Lopez are all making over 2m next year. I'm sure there's others making around that or simliar salaries or as well, but I don't feel like looking it up right now. A) All those guys are better than Miles B) Only 2 of those guys got 2 year deals

I think the biggest problem with fans these days, is they only focus on how much power a guy has. But people need to realize there are a ton of major league players with very little power, and they make alot of money and have good careers, because they hit for average, take a walk and do other things.. I don't know why you're acting as though Aaron Miles gets on base or takes walks. he doesn't. There are 2 main parts of hitting- getting on base, and getting as many total bases as possible. Miles sucks at both. And I've put this off for a while, but I have to ask. Why do, seperate so many sentences, with commas?

did devendorf just say "that was the greatest game ever played"?

i wonder what the sportscenter anchors are doing

lol harris. he was going to kill himself tonight if he didn't make that putback

maybe stop taking 3's

what is uconn doing right now

first lead of any ot for cuse. that's unbelievable.

i never realized how much he looks like samuel l jackson

rehethtrhtrgergergerhrwh54425g55rb

i'm really glad i'm not emotionally invested in either of these 2 teams. this would be too much

what is the record for most ots in a game? like 10?

bye scumbag

good no call i think

if that dude could make a layup in 4ot this game is over

OMFG

how are these guys even standing up right now?

lolol wtf was that?

He meant the first offensive rebound, the one that came off the missed free throw. No, Boeheim was yelling at the human garbage that he wasn't supposed to foul Price. hey don't hate, im sure she deserved it

i think gus in a game like this would just be too much

unreal this is the best time of the year for sports imo. college tourneys, baseball about to start, and the nhl and nba playoffs right around the corner.
