This really pains me to say, but Syracuse is really good. I've been saying they're overrated all year but I think I'm wrong.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 26, 2010 -> 05:11 AM) And lost when we traded for Royce Clayton. Well, at least we got Sosa, Wilson Alvarez and Scot Fletcher back in one of the greatest steals of all-time. When you post in threads, do you make it a goal to try and throw in as many random players that have nothing to do with the topic at hand as possible? Or does it just seem to happen?

anyone plan on picking up MAG?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 25, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) Notice how many former Dodgers are in bold, lol. I count 5. There's like 20 former Yankees on there

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 09:10 AM) Well, then imagine the same ship was parking at a private coast off the coast of Louisiana/New Orleans in the weeks after Hurricane Katrina... Would you still feel the same way? Let's say some of the passengers on board actually knew of relatives who were killed and/or homeless there (imagining it's an around-the-world trip and they had started on it weeks or days before Katrina hit)...that wouldn't change things either? If the ship was bringing aid and not getting in the way and was 50-60 miles away from where the affected areas were? Absolutely, it would not change a thing. To the hundreds of Haitian workers it's way more than a "very, very tiny drop" in their buckets. Also, a "very, very tiny drop in the bucket" is better than no drop in the bucket. Especially considering the aid and relief is free.

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Jan 22, 2010 -> 03:18 PM) The Phillies pitched lights out in October which is why they won. Don't get me wrong, Thome could hit. We most likely would have won in 2005 if we had him instead of Carl/Frank. But championships are won with pitching and defense. And Thome add nothing to either category. Good thing he'd be acquired for a position where neither mattered then...

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 01:58 PM) I'm fairly certain that this is incorrect. I'm pretty sure Hahn said that Viciedo will be subject to the arbitration process just as any other draftee/IFA would be, and the same for Alexei.. You are correct. I don't have the article but someone posted it here during this past season.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 01:40 PM) Maybe. Honestly, that's just a lazy argument anymore. It is so much harder to forge ages now than it was even just 5 years ago. Teams are more aware and the legality behind it has made it much tougher. It's annoying when people continue to use that argument.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 11:33 AM) Wow. That is just pathetic. Wow, yes it is. And also probably a large reason why Coakley lost.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jan 20, 2010 -> 04:18 PM) I dunno the first Peavy trade thread was f***ing epic. That and the board meltdown that occured for the Pods pickoff/Extra-inning Mariners game. Only once we started the multiple page banter about penguins.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jan 20, 2010 -> 04:38 PM) They don't have a jackass poster category, T-Bolt. QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jan 20, 2010 -> 09:13 PM) That is green. You sure about that?

QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 20, 2010 -> 01:51 PM) And cruise ships are still docking in Haiti. Tourists having fun while the ship offloads relief supplies. Seems wrong on the surface, but the island does need cold hard cash and the tourism industry is very necessary to their economy. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jan/1...aiti-earthquake Absolutely disagree whole heartedly. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this and I don't understand why there are people making such a huge stink over it (not saying you are). Royal Caribbean is delivering supplies while making these stops too. Also, Labadee, where they dock, is a privately leased "island" by the company from the Haitian government. Royal Caribbean employs Haitian citizens on the resort and also grants several hundred other Haitian citizens exclusive privilege to sell goods to the tourists who disembark. Furthermore, for the passengers of the ship, they often book these cruises years in advance and it is not fair to them to alter their trip that they are paying a thousand plus dollars for. This place is 60 miles from Port au Prince so it's not as if people would be getting off and gauking or getting in the way. hell, they passengers cant even leave the grounds of the private resort. Nothing but positives come from Royal Caribbean continuing to dock at Labadee. I don't understand how anyone can think otherwise. Royal Caribbean altering their ports of call because of this does nothing but further hurt the country right now.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 05:42 PM) DJ Carrasco signed a minor league deal with the Pirates. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere so I thought I would post it. If it has been posted, disregard. Wow. He has the best year of his career last year in the AL and proves he's a more than capable long man/mop up man and the best he can find for himself is a minor league deal with the Pirates?

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 07:49 PM) Oh my God... haha phenomenal

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 15, 2010 -> 02:24 AM) Whoops, I had him confused with Bedard for a second. They do look alike

Wow...

I know the guy who breast fed John Madden

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 12, 2010 -> 05:33 PM) pssh. they need to f*** with Madden a lot. That game hasn't been good in 10 years. Retread, retread, retread. They need a new physics engine badly. +1 I wouldn't say 10 years though, but it has been a while. I don't get it either. They've made tremendous strides with the physics with NHL and FIFA series, but their most popular brand they just kinda tweak every year with no major upgrades.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 12, 2010 -> 11:24 AM) WOW! Bud is in some serious denial: Bud Selig: Steroid Use 'Virtually Nonexistent' About what? That was a pretty factual statement.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 10, 2010 -> 10:33 PM) ND is "helping" by playing Western Michigan, Tulsa, and Army at home this fall. Arent they playing Army at Yankee Stadium?

I could have guarded Austin Freeman better than the Huskies did today in the second half. jesus christ that pissed me off. Kemba Walker has been terrible, TERRIBLE, in the last 4-5 games. I hate how Calhoun refuses to play certain people even when they clearly were one of your better players today (McDaniel). Also love how the referees forgot that over the back was a foul today too.

UCONN got a verbal yesterday from Roscoe Smith, 5 star recruit said to be the best shooter in the 10-11 class. This is the kind of player UCONN has desperately needed ever since Rashad Anderson left. Also, since Smith gave a verbal, Josh Selby who initially turned down UCONN has scheduled an official visit for Feb. If we could land another elite recuit UCONN could end up with a very, very nice class

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 8, 2010 -> 03:57 PM) Pete Carroll may leave USC for Seahawks Good. Hopefully brings USC down a notch. Of course he'll probably fail in Seattle and then go to some other college program people will eventually hate
