I know....it was you and Dan that demanded he be #1.

I bet Alex Woodson is number 1 on a certain persons list.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 12, 2007 -> 01:39 PM) I like USC in that game, I really do. Also, just saying, NMSU is athletic enough to stick with UT. I personally believe Texas is a tad overrated, jmo. I too like USC.

Maybe if we got Cole Hammels too.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2007 -> 12:59 PM) I could see them losing, but all they have to do is roll out the basketballs and they are in the elite 8 with the road they were given. BC and Tech aren't anything, and Wazzu is pedestrian. Call me crazy, but I like the way BC matches up against them. Albeit, I am not that confident in having BC go that far after they have came crashing back to reality as of late.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Mar 12, 2007 -> 12:47 PM) Ha! Richards would have gotten his ass kicked. I hope Jenks wasn't really about to tackle him. I don't know why but I figure that stuff happens. At least it wasn't like Angels camp when Discarscina's career officially ended (after quite a few comebacks) when he had his elbow broken by a fungo bat. And now Gary D. does stuff for NESN.

I just signed up. Are we still a team short? Cause if so my buddy is raring to stay in the league.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 12, 2007 -> 10:53 AM) I definitely agree with the fact that McCarthy trade is looking good. However, just as you said it seems Danks is being rushed, doesn't it also feel like Floyd is being rushed? After his season last year, we seemed to just throw him right into the 5th starter race. Oh well....I just hope that Danks wins the role, and it's not handed to Floyd. Thats why I have no problem getting a guy like Lieber or Pavano if we are giving up a few scrub prospects to get them and just eating a bit of money. Those type of guys would buy the Sox a little bit more time so that we can better prepare Danks/Floyd for the majors. And no, unlike Flash, I don't consider that a move that gets us another starter an indication that Floyd or Danks are failures, rather I see it as just being a way to buy a little more time and potentially open up the possibilities of moving someone like Buehrle for value if it does become evident he is for sure gone.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Mar 12, 2007 -> 10:50 AM) Same here. Georgetown is my champ. I must be one of the few that has Georgetown going out relatively early.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Mar 11, 2007 -> 09:57 PM) A few notes... - Those complaining about the game freezing on 360, if you don't have the intercooler, I suggest you get one. I logged about 10 hours today and not once did it freeze. - Glitch wise, the only thing I notice is that when making a pitching change in the middle of the inning, sometimes the original pitcher would be in the cut scene or highlight. - Nothing to complain about yet in Franchise Mode. Maybe trading players is a bit too easy though. I got Hanley Ramirez, Miguel Olivo, and Cody Ross from the Marlins for Cintron, Erstad, and Hall. Oh, and here are the fake names minor leaguers that I know of so far... Bill Gordon - Ben Grieve Lloyd Blevins - Lance Broadway Nate Reyes - Nick Regilio Cody Blum - Chad Bentz Ron Boyd - Ryan Bukvich Jerry Douglass - John Danks Nate Martin - Nick Masset Ralph Vaughn - Robert Valido Gene Gross - Gio Gonzalez Chris Hunter - Charles Haeger I want to point out that the intercooler is not recommended by Microsoft. In fact I've read on numerous microsoft forums that actually does more harm than good.

Funny stuff.

Florida UNC Ohio State UCLA I have UCLA over Ohio State in the final. That said I'm not positive on whether UNC will be in my final 4 or not. They are there right now, but that could change.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 12, 2007 -> 02:05 AM) And good timing for him; What type of average, offensive performance etc. do you think BA is going to have to end up with, if he's going to win this CF job? It shouldn't be too tough. Pods will be on the DL and Erstad will be the starter in LF so I don't see many scenarios that don't involve BA breaking camp as our starting CF (at least early in the season). The thing is that he will have to play well to keep that job (if Erstad is still healthy when Pods comes back).

Signed up for that a couple weeks ago and if I end up getting any free time where I'm not on a client I'll be watching from my laptop at work.

I'm in.

Sounds like way too many glitches. I may just have to pass on a baseball game this year and it kills me to say that cause I don't know the last time I didn't have a baseball game.

On a sidenote...if we acquire another starter and Danks/Floyd pitch well would anyone be shocked if Kenny was just picking up another arm which basically gave him the right to move Buehrle or another starter. Maybe Kenny and Mark have talked in close doors and came to an understanding that regardless a contract won't work. For example, the two sides tried things this past week and in the end Mark wasn't willing to go 4 years unless he got like 18 mill per year and Kenny was understanding considering the market and the two have stayed quiet and now we look for another starter and than quickly move one of ours (I'm not saying it will happen or that this has happened, but if we are acquiring a starter my guess is there is a chance it would be to open up the gates for another one of our starters to head out or at least buy Danks a bit more time in the minors and Floyd more time to work on the changes he's made).

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 11, 2007 -> 08:15 PM) Is there any way that Iowa can still hang a banner? We'll just have to hang a....finished better in conference play than a few teams that go into the tourney banner

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Mar 11, 2007 -> 08:55 PM) KU beat Florida Maybe I'm mistaken, but wasn't Florida going through the flu/injuries when the two teams played (not to lessen it, just to say that I don't think the two teams have played each other at 100% yet).

I don't mind the names the Sox would be getting, but I don't see the logic in it. Phils would want major league talent and I don't see those guys being worth giving up major league talent to get. Good to see that tidbit on Hermy in that article about how good he's been pitching.

QUOTE(TheOcho @ Mar 11, 2007 -> 07:20 PM) Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't he with us last year in ST aswell? I don't know if he played at all with the big club, but yes, we had him last year and he played the entire minor league season down in Kanny, IIRC. Orlando is very very fast, but Gomes is the better of the Brazilian prospects this system has.

Ya, Fullerton isn't going. I forgot they switched to 32 teams so Fullerton really had no chance after they lost 4 of there last 5 games to piss away the conference championship and everything else that mattered. f***ing bs, no one can tell me Iowa isn't one of the best 99 teams in the country...no one.

Are you serious. What a bunch of bulls***.

f*** f*** f***....CSUF takes a huge s*** this weekend and gets swept by an unranked team. Out of the top 10 we will go.
