QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 24, 2005 -> 09:44 AM) You didn't miss anything... Iowa is teh suck. No O or D-line = Total Domination. -- I guess they had to pay for that beatdown they handed OSU last year. Ya, I saw the score...looking bad. They are really missing some of the key losses of this past off-season, especially some of the leadership on the defensive end. I thought they wouldn't miss a beat defensively with Greenway and Abdhul Hoge still there, but boy was I wrong. They are really missing Sanders and Roth as well as the solid defensive tackle (name slips my mind right now). Hopefully they get going. My guess is 3-4 losses this year but I think they are going to be really good next year. Ferentz could get things figured out, but in college football your only as good as your lines.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 24, 2005 -> 02:29 AM) Chad Tracy - .299/.350/.536. Age 25, can play 1B/3B/OF. Home and Away Splits are almost identical, and he's still about .280/.290 from the ASB. Making $335,000. Lyle Overbay - .278/.370/.458. 3 Years older, weaker power stats, known for being a 1st half hitter. Just asking, if the asking price for Tracy and Overbay was pretty much the same (and it could be, since these 2 teams need young pitching / bullpen help), wouldn't you rather Tracy instead of Overbay? And the price isn't going to be the same...its going to be less, imo. I've log been on your said of this Andrew...Chad Tracy >>>> Lyle Overbay

Funny thing is as of now Rupe is the lone player doing anything. Francisco has dissapeared since his suspension and I don't know what exactly Anthony Webster is up to. Rupe is the guy that will have to be the difference maker.

Gordon is a very hard worker. I wouldn't be shocked if he developed into a decent defensive player down the road. Obviously he'll always have problem guarding taller shooting guards, but the Bulls are lucky to have options since Hinrich is such a great defensive player (even though he's a little short, he still can do a solid job against taller SG's, plus the Bulls can always throw out some rotations). I love BG's scoring ability and he knows he has to work hard on defense. He'll be a lot better this year, imo. He was a total hole last year it was pathetic. And I personally still like Deng more like Igodola. Deng is just a solid defensive player with some pretty good offensive game. As his jumper develops better he's going to turn into quite the slasher, something the Bulls haven't had in a long time. Think of him as a better defensive version of Michael Finley in the future.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 24, 2005 -> 08:16 AM) Which means we likely won't get it here, as that's the West Coast ABC game. Instead, I think we get the 2:30 game of ND/Wash. I get the ND game and the Oregon game. I get royally f***ed and miss my Hawkeye game which was supposed to be on at 9 AM. Instead some dumb cartoon was on.

I don't blame the media. If I were a respected baseball insider I wouldn't be going around naming names of guys that me be juicing. Thats totally speculative and while you may here things, its one thing to say a guy may be getting dealt and its a whole nother thing to accuse a guy of being on steroids based on hearing it from someone your talking to (how the hell do you know its true and if its not, you could be sued for libel I believe). Its one thing for talking heads to say things or the people o nthe radio like Mike North (who aren't insiders) but if a guy like Gammons started calling players out based on rumors he heard, he'd be very quickly out of a job and people around the baseball world wouldn't want to talk to him. Knock Gammons all you want, but he's a pretty good reporter and I think he knows his stuff.

Brown was fined 7500 bucks by the league.

Roy Williams was a f***tard in that game. Everyone knows in those situations a safety can't get ballsy, they got to make sure the receiver doesn't get by him. On both plays the receiver not only beat the corner it beat Roy Williams who wasn't playing over the top of the receiver. Brunell made great passes, but there is no excuse for the shoddy coverage job by Roy Williams (especially since it appeared like they were playing cover 2) and when your in cover 2 there is no way a receiver should get by you because your playing totally over the top of them.

What time is the Iowa game on on Saturday. I'm really looking forward to it. I just know I'm gonna get royally f***ed though and they'll be showing some local broadcast out here instead of the Iowa-OSU game. Come on Hawekeyes...it would be a huge huge win if you can beat OSU on the road.

QUOTE(Randar68 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 08:53 AM) I shudder at the thought of Pods playing LF, let alone seeing him in CF. A team built on pitching needs to be strong up the middle...therefor Pods is not an option to play CF.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 04:39 AM) Lost in the extra inning disaster was a masterfully pitching performance by Brandon McCarthy. He matched one of the best pitchers in baseball pitch for pitch and put his team in position to win. Hail BMac!! Right now him, Garland, and Contreras are the 3 best pitchers on the White Sox. And if I see El Duque start in favor of him again this year, I will put up a hissy fit.

Smart ass posts like that, make me want to join the Bandvanagon.

I don't think that was Sf1, but I could be wrong. Anyway I'm going to be cleaning up a few posts in this thread. It could of been someone in the group of people I went with??? Heck if I know though.

Right now I wouldn't falter Uribe or Crede to hit in the 3 spot. Even Jermaine Dye or someone of that nature. If you want to keep Everett in the lineup (cause a hot Everett would make things a lot better) than I don't have a problem with it. Just don't continue to hit him in the 3rd spot. Its a stupid idea. I realize Ozzie wants to have continuity in his lineup and doesn't want to move guys all over the place, but find someone else and ride the hot hand in the 3 spot, let Everett adjust and take a little pressure off him by moving him down in the lineup until he figures things back out. Otherwise, start playing Gload for a week straight and see what he does. We all know he can hit.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 01:27 PM) Can you kindly tell me what I did wrong? If you would like to keep the thread in tact or whatever with your Rally Crede stuff, PM me. I honestly answered the questions asked to me... Its a thing called baiting. Your trying to pick fits and its not going to be tolerated. Why rain on our parade. Its just like someone walking into a hockey thread and posting Hockey f***ing sucks. If you don't like hockey or don't like the subject just ignore it and move on. You will be getting a PM shortly.

GO GO GO GO WHITE SOX!!!

That was a makeup call from the 3-0 strike that was called. Leadoff walk. Make em pay. Lets go Juanita!!!

RUNS lets score some

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 05:07 PM) GOD DAMNIT PAULIE Pops out a 2-0 cookie. How aouot we go up to the plate with a clue guys? Be patient...The Rally Crede works in mysterious ways.

Have Faith People...its time to put a Krooked number on the board.

The Rally Crede comes out this inning. Believe in the Power of the Rally Crede...BELIEVE

Tough luck. two soft hit singles and than Dye and Rowand creme the ball. However, if its any help...Paulie probably doesn't score on Rowands hit to RF if he had gotten to 3rd (but who knows what would of happened). Believe though...believe.

So far so good on the server end (crosses fingers)

Ya, thats probably the worse feature of all.

Man, should of been two. I hope this doesn't bite em in the butt.
