i'm not worked up. I'll take an OSU win if it sorta shuts people up about "blah blah Big Ten sucks" I think it's more the Big 12 was overrated this year if OSU wins. The Big Ten was definitely down this season.

Who are these announcers? Geez. What a couple of idiots.

The OSU band is almost as bad as the USC band.

Pryor throws like a girl.

Lol. Seriously Dave Kaplan is dumber than the Voice of Reason. and almost as ugly as South Side Ryan. One thing I have disliked about this website for quite some time now is that it seems that the "Attack the argument, not the poster" rule has seemingly been long since forgotten. Pretty sure he's Voice of Reason is just joking. I'll ban him if you want though. For Retaliating? SSR was trolling. I'm just kidding. Relax.

I'd bet that with insight like your's, you can't see beyond the end of your nose! DeRosa, barring injury, would have had GREATLY diminished PT and would have been UNHAPPY if he stayed. The Cubs are going to balance the lineup with more lefty hitting, PERIOD! Hendry has BIG IDEAS, but is at least temporarily, restricted to a $145M budget, and he wants to save $5-7M of that for July, in case he needs it. So of course he is going to "dump" salaries where he can get the same or better for less. So far he has done a GREAT job of moving the money around, to get what he wants. Miles is NO downgrade! His only negative in comparison with DeRosa is power. They are the same type player and personalities, Miles hits a little better for average, and would be more effective in the 1, 2 or 8 spots in the lineup, is a SWITCH hitter and plugs the same holes for less money, which means Hendry has about $3.3M more to use in trying to fulfill those BIG ideas! Miles best OPS is .753. DeRosa has surpassed that in every year but one. DeRosa is a much, much better player then Miles. OPS is a product of power and batting order. They hardly ever would be used in the same slots in the lineup. Ask yourself this question: Just how much "better player than Miles" would he be sitting on the bench, pouting about his PT and getting 200 or so ABs? If you're referring to DeRosa, he'd probably play everyday on this team as the starting 2B and fill in RF/LF/3B. Seriously, this is awful. This has to be a joke account. The biggest JOKE in this thread is YOU! Unless DeRo learned to switch hit, he wasn't going to see PT unless someone was Injured. Cubs have already stated they want MORE PT for Fontenot, not less, and are seeking LH or S hitters to fill OF slots. If he stayed he would have been fortunate to get 200 ABs! That's what Hendry knew and you obviously don't...but then there have never been people so blind as those that refuse to see! Don't attack other posters. Otherwise, your time here will be short.

The Ravens should send some booze and women to his room on Friday night. Luckily, he seems to be past that phase, but nice try. :-)) It's possible for a man to get past that phase? Also, why would he want to?

Sulley, it must be rough watching your favorite teams get screwed by the refs in every game you watch.

Yay Michigan! Not gonna do much as the season goes on though. Can't shoot 95 three-pointers a game and expect to win every game.

Go Blue!!!

you can't let either of those penalties go. Yeah, probably not. Just a boring way to win the game, by penalties.

The refs made this ending sort of anticlimactic.

I think he got bopped in the head one too many times by the fake boobs of some Hooter's chick and has completely lost it.

It's been nice not having to hear Vance's big mouth all over the place.

I'm sure Lions' fans love the fact that they have to watch Matt Millon on NBC.

they're not good enough I know I'm going to regret asking this, but how can you definitively say that they aren't good enough without seeing them play someone like Florida or Oklahoma? It's ridiculous to just assume they aren't good enough because they don't come from a big Conference.

It's hilarious watching Saban scream at everyone.

rotoworld:

Last warning. Knock it off. Send PM's if you want to keep up this battle.

Let's keep it civil guys.

Late December back in '63. What a very special time for me, 'Cause I remember what a night. Oh, what a night. You know, I didn't even know her name, But I was never gonna be the same. What a lady. What a night. Oh, I. I got a funny feeling when she walked In the room and I, As I recall it ended much too soon.

Crazy Bruce Levine is saying on ESPN 1000 that this is a done deal. No specifics.

Denver Post reporting it's a done deal: http://blogs.denverpost.com/rockies/2008/12/30/rox-agree-to-ship-vizcaino-to-cubs-for-marquis/

LOL. So you're going to look at the 9 postseason games, but disregard the 162 games that got the Cubs to the postseason? Nice logic.
