....I must have went to the site 2 seconds before they made the update. They've been great at updating the e-mails lately.

He definitely will. Look at what he did from the All-Star break all the way to the end of the season. He was on his game and very consistent.

Tupac

Yeah...That's what I was thinking. Where everyone thinks he's some soldier that left a small town, and he helps revitalize that movie theatre.

I think Pitt will get the fourth #1 seed along w/ St. Joe's, Stanford, and Duke.

From what I understand 13 is the number.

This isn't my favorite thing to say being an IU fan, but I think you guys will be the fourth and final team to make it out of the Big Ten and go into the tourney. IU may have the RPI, but I don't see us getting in there. We'll see, we have a light schedule to close out the season, and then if we make a short run in the Big Ten tourney you never know....

Is there any way people can argue that this is good for baseball? This is such bulls***....

LMAO.... Just checked the RPI.....IU's still 66 in the RPI at 12-10....while Purdue is at 81 w/ a 16-8 record! RPI rankings

Though not all his facts are straight, he gets the point out to the masses. Great article.

I think Evans was pretty bitter after KW got the job. I don't think he would come back.

Steinbrenner is an idiot if he ever fires Torre. I don't know anyone else that could manage that many egos.

Thank You Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Kennedy, etc.......

Yeah, that is pretty pathetic how that worked out. I just hope owners and what not can all learn that, though A-Rod is arguably the best baseball player in the game right now....No player is worth $252 M.....

As long as the Yanks have money, they won't have to worry about prospects. They just buy these players like none other. The Yanks do surprisingly draft well. The Yanks were the team that drafted Damaso Marte. Pettitte, Jeter, Posada, Bernie, Rivera, etc. came from their farm teams. Actually a lot of the Yankees success in the 90's came from their farm teams. I know the Yanks haven't won a WS since George has gone insane and started to really spend the green; however, you can't say you would have a better shot w/ any other team. I just don't understand how you can become a "true" fan of that team, when you have a totally different roster every season. They're basically rooting for laundry in NY. I'd love to win a WS any way possible; however, I think it would be much more gratifying to win it w/ players from your farm and what not.

Agreed. The state of baseball right now is pretty terrible. You have the Yankees, who's infield equals the entire White Sox payroll. They need to do something. It doesn't have to be a salary cap, but they have to control the spending and level the playing field. This luxury tax really doesn't effect teams like the Yankees. They're spending over $200M this year, but they still have a ridiculous amount in the bank. I don't know when this current situtation of the luxury tax expires, but they need to do something. I just don't know how they'll be able to change it now. The MLB players union is the strongest in any sport.

Damn...I remember that show. I actually kind of liked it, but I don't know her name. I'm not going to cheat and look it up....

Have a great one!

Well we're in NY when the Yanks start play at Yankee Stadium, maybe that's what's being discussed.

There's a thread or two about it, but A-Rod's going to NY to play 3rd base. The Rangers are getting Soriano and a player to be named later. It should be announced tomorrow or Tuesday. It just has to be OK'd by the commish's office.

Not my favorite thing in this weather, but I drink pink lemonade in the summer to no end. I drink a lot of water year-round though.

Santana's a pretty good pitcher and all, but I'd much rather have Buerhle. Santana has a history of being a little injury prone.

I agree to an extent that anything can happen. However, you can't say that having that lineup doesn't give them the best chance possible. I really don't know how people can ever claim themselves as true Yankee fans. I think it has to be much more satisfying to win a world series as the Marlins and Angels just did. Just about everyone on those teams came from their farm systems, and it wasn't really a fake and assembled "dream" team.

Hmmm....Stanford or St. Joe's to be the #1?

It was actually a great game from start to finish. The West won 136-132, and Shaq won the MVP. They had their showboat moves, but this year they didn't get away from actually playing the game. It was one of the best All-Star games in the past few years.
