  1. FINALLY...It's nice where your big man is finally big again....It was definitely tough watching those games when Kline and Ewing were our biggest guys.
  2. That's definitley a good move for the Dolphins, but I'll miss him on CBS. He was a good analyst as he was QB.
  3. There's no way I'm going against my Colts here....... We only lost to them on the 1 yard line....and didn't a certain Denver team beat Indy pretty badly in week 16? And where's that Denver team now?
  4. I've gone from Napster to Audio Galaxy to Kazaa and I'm now using LimeWire......
  5. I didn't have a problem w/ the visuals....
  6. ....Nah...Even if those numbers WERE real...I still don't think I'd call, that's just wrong.....
  7. Hell yeah they are....They have a very nice OF now which really helps their already decent lineup....They'll end up moving Ersty to 1B probably. They have a start to their rotation w/ Colon, Washburn, Escobar and a deep bullpen w/ the likes of Lackey, K-Rod, Percival, etc. That AL west race will be quite interesting.
  8. Yeah...this should put them at like $107M....
  9. I really think any Konerko for Washburn deal is out the window for us. I'm pretty sure that they'll just end up moving Erstad to 1B.....But wow, the Halos are going to have a hell of a team......Nice rotation w/ a 1-2-3 of Colon, Washburn, Escobar....a deep ass bullpen, and a decent lineup.
  10. I've had ASB for the past few years, but I've been reading up on this MVP Baseball 2004...It looks sweet as hell. I even heard you could charge the mound! The one on the far right looks like Ben Affleck......
  11. I saw this, and had a few friends who tried to call a couple people. I understand a lot of the numbers are bogus.
  12. It's definitely great having George f***in' Leach back!!!! IU wins a big game at Michigan 59-57.....They have Northwestern up next back at Bloomington.
  13. Colts!!!!!!! It was definitely a shootout, but the Colts offense came to play again. The only possession they didn't put points on the board was the possession w/ a minute before the half on the Colts' 15! Peyton's just unstoppable right now. Next week's game at Foxboro will definitely be a very great one. I'm sure you're all saying, well NE already beat Indy this year. Well, the Colts lost that game on the 1 yard line. And if I'm not mistaken....Didn't the Broncos beat the hell out of the Colts a couple weeks back and then the Colts came right back and just disgraced them?

    SNL

    The Saddam-Osama skit! "It was reported that Britney Spears married Jason Alexander this week. In related news, Christina Aguilera 69'd Newman!"
  15. Easy now....... We match up very well w/ the Chiefs... We have an 8th ranked defense...the Chiefs defense is ranked 29th How are the Colts not going to score on a 29th ranked defense?
  16. Sources: Guerrero to sign with Angels By BILL MADDEN and JOHN HARPER DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITERS The dream died hard and fast last night. Unwilling to gamble more than three years of guaranteed money on Vladimir Guerrero's once-injured back, the Mets paid for their caution when they learned the slugging free agent was signing a mega-deal with the Anaheim Angels, sources told the Daily News. The identity of that team had remained something of a mystery until late last night. Like the Mets, the Angels jumped into the Guerrero sweepstakes only a few days ago, when it became clear that one of the best players in baseball was still up for grabs. Indications were that the deal was for five years and a guaranteed $70 million. The Angels' late move caught the Mets by surprise. In the two days since they made their five-year, $71 million offer, of which $30 million was guaranteed, the Mets had begun to think they might really pull this off and get the superstar right fielder. They kept hearing that Guerrero had no interest in going to the Orioles, the only team that had made a big guaranteed offer, and that seemed to clear a path for them. But what they didn't know was that the Angels came forward the same day the Mets made their proposal and offered their guaranteed deal. The Angels, with new owner Arturo Moreno, have suddenly emerged as big spenders this winter. They had already signed Bartolo Colon to a 4-year, $48 million contract, as well as free agent pitcher Kelvim Escobar as Moreno looks to rebuild a team that went to the World Series two years ago. Yesterday Tellem, one of Guerrero's agents, informed the Mets that the former Expos' right fielder was signing with another team. As a result, Mets GM Jim Duquette was left to explain the club's failed attempt on a conference call. "I understand the disappointment of the fans," he said, when asked about fan reaction. "The organization is disappointed too. We were hopeful. That's why we're disappointed today." Duquette said the Mets weren't given a chance yesterday to upgrade their offer in response to Angels' offer. It may not have mattered, however, as the Mets apparently were firm on their decision not to offer more than three years guaranteed, a cautious approach that Duquette said was justified, based on medical reports the Mets had seen. "Our offer was based on the advice of our doctors," Duquette said. "We were advised not to make a long-term deal. As it was, I thought were making a pretty daring offer. "We were able to see reports (of a back examination Guerrero underwent in Miami after the season), and our doctors were able to make a very credible evaluation. There was always a risk that he could have gotten hurt the first year of the deal." Duquette indicated the Mets were at least somewhat influenced in their thinking by their recent experience with Mo Vaughn, whose knee injury is essentially forcing him to retire. And while the Mets will collect insurance on Vaughn, Duquette said they couldn't find a company willing to insure Guerrero's back. "It's our understanding that the back is uninsurable," Duquette said. Caution aside, the Mets decided to make a late run at Guerrero when it seemed a lack of substantial offers had given them an opening. Their involvement may have triggered the Angels to move quickly; perhaps that was Tellem's intention in asking the Mets to make a proposal this week, but Duquette said he didn't think they were used merely as bait. "We were told that if this team had not come forward, our offer would have been the subject of serious negotiations. If he had taken our offer, it's our understanding that he would have made more money than what's on the table." Whatever the case, Duquette said that Fred Wilpon decided to authorize this offer because it was a chance to acquire a superstar player, and that it didn't mean the Mets would be looking to spend this kind of money on any other free agent. "We're going to stick to our plan that we formulated and move forward with it," was the way Duquette put it. "When you get a chance to acquire a player like this, ownership was willing to give us the money to go over budget. The money was above and beyond the parameters set by ownership."

  17. :fyou ....The Patriots are the Ohio State Buckeyes of the NFL......They always just get that one friggen' lucky play or botched one from the opponents.
  18. Well it says he's signing a multi-year deal...Does this rule out Florida? Maybe he's going to Baltimore....I have this STRANGE hunch it's Anaheim....
  19. And this game got no love all week....I don't think I heard one thing about it. It turned out to be a great game....but the Panthers??? WOW!
  20. I just got done reading these two for school.... "Like Water for Chocolate" by Laura Esquivel "House of the Spirits" by Isabel Allende
  21. Exactly...Didn't they have like 21 different pitchers start a game on the mound for them last year?
