QUOTE(danman31 @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 10:22 AM) The Wisconsin-Bowling Green game is freaking awesome. They each scored TDs in the last minute of the first half and it's 35-35. Northwestern 31, Ohio 7, 3rd Missouri 44, Central Arkansas St. Penitentiary Team (aka Arkansas St) 0 That's. Right. b****es. Ya, its a fun game to watch. Sure no defense, but these two teams are just going back and forth.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 10:02 AM) TCU 10 Oklahoma 0 Half I hope ABC eventually switches over to this game. Its not like OSU is going to lose against TCU and I want to see that OU game.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 09:57 AM) Those aren't permanent helmets for Wiscy are they? I'm thinking they have throwbacks on for something. Those things are hideous though.

QUOTE(OfficerKarkovice @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 09:44 AM) At Halftime: Iowa - 49 Ball St. - 0 Plus 4 rushing td's already. Thats almost half as many as they had last year all season.

Good stuff. Valido has baseball smarts and thats one of the things that impresses me the most out of him.

One game at a time...one game at a time. Lets not get ahead of ourselves.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 09:18 PM) How the f*** do you screw that up? Hell, I'd say 90% of this board knew it was Ruben Rivera, how does Michael Kay, a man so close to the Yankees, confuse the two? Seriously, thats pathetic. Plus Ruben was the guy that was dealt to the Pads originally for Irabu (the japenese pitcher that was a total bust).

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 09:16 PM) Yeah, I know but the multiple Chris Young lovers wre begging for his upbringing ... As the guy thats been gushing over Young for two plus years now, I can safely say that I am happy he's staying in Bham. No reason to start the clock on him, not to mention he's not ready.

Freaking studly performance by Santana tonight. He was rocking and aside from Vladdy playing like s*** once again (and failing to knock in runs with a guy on 3rd and less than 2 outs twice today). Total blast although I was dissapointed, stadium wasn't quite as packed as I expected. Still drew 41000 but there were a lot more on Tuesday than tonight. Oh and RedandWhite, ya I'm an Angel fan. They are my 2nd team

Hey Bull My thoughts are with ya and hopefully the MRI will come back negative. All the best and as always thanks for the info

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) After seeing these quotes he wont be back with us next year. Sadly its nothing but the truth if you ask me. Ross is a good, professional, hitter plane and simple.

Awesome news. Now hopefully they can add Songalia and reup with Curry and than get Adrian and Pargo back on board.

Here's what I want to know...why the hell can't they fix the levy's. Why not take cars and just start dumping them all over this areas to slow down the water. Get the naval construction crew out there (the ones that build all the bridges and such) and get them working. Hell, for christ sake crash a barge in the areas where the levy's have opened. Do whatever it takes. Maybe its not as easy as it sounds, but I'd think considering you know a lot is going to get destroyed if they don't fix them (and it did) That you'd be very destructive and would just dump everything freaking possible on the areas to try and protect the levy's.

QUOTE(56789 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 01:11 PM) I saw a story on CNN this morning with this lady in new orleans crying with her kids saying that during the eye, her husband jumped on his bike to ride over to her moms house to see if she was ok, and now no one can find him. Now that is very sad and all, but what was the guy thinking? Why didnt they get together with the mom to weather the storm with each others in the first place. Then he trys to ride across town to see if she is ok during the short break...how stupid. I saw that too. I was like wow, that guy wasn't thinking. Sad story though and the women was crying her eyes out on tv. Really sad to see how many families have been torn up in this, how many people have lost jobs and just how many people are without a city to call home.

QUOTE(Randar68 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 09:34 AM) Young not being on the team is silly. Those first 2 months cost him a .290 30-30 year. He's been the best player in that league for the last 3 months. Ya, I was stunned to see he was left off. Whoever made the vote rode the short bus to school every morning.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 06:58 AM) Would you care to make a wager? He's in a cast, if the best case scenerio occured and he was able to get the cast off in a couple weeks, that would leave him with 2 weeks until the playoffs to get strength back into the area, and get sharp enough hitting to where he actually could contribute. He wouldn't be able to take a minor league rehab assignment, since the minor league season will be over. There was the same pipe dream that he and Maggs would possibly return last year. It isn't going to happen, its not realistic. I'm on the same page as you Dick. I've written off Frank's career and I'm hoping the Sox have as well. I think bringing him back this year would be a mistake. Now if Frank is able to get in some Ab's and look good before the season ends, well thats another story. I just don't see it happening. Plus, Frank was a selfish hitter while with the Sox this year and thats not the type of guy I want on this team. 12 hr's or none, he was killing this team with his swing for the fence approach (especially once he cooled off).

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 06:36 AM) Seems like A-row hits better when frank is around, anyone notice this? I dunno. Arow hasn't been himself all year offensively (or has he been??). However, I see him starting to get locked in and one thing about Aaron is, once he gets locked in during a season he seems to stay locked in. If he can get rolling like he was last year, it could mean really big things for this offense, especially with JD getting on track.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 12:44 AM) We are not choking. We are not slumping. The slump is over. Preach on brotha

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 09:11 PM) Once again, IMO you really have to live in Chicago to get a feel for what's going on with the Bears. Hutchinson being cut was not a surprise to anyone I know that follows the Bears, the writing was on the wall. Kittner is better than Hutch, there I said it. Kittner is still on this team because he was Turner's QB at Illinois a few years back, he knows the system and is pretty well suited for that #3 spot. Kittner will not be cut, I'm certain of it. Oh trust me, I knew he was getting cut. The writing was definately on the wall when he got immediately benched and demoted to 4th string. I totally disagree on Kit though. He has zero arm strength and is not an NFL qb. I understand that he knows the system, but so did Quinn and quite frankly Quinn is twice the QB Kittner is. I'd like to see another veteran brought in because Blake has yet to do anything on the field to make me feel comfortable if Orton stinks (which could very well happen, in fact I'm expecting it because I have very little faith in a rookie coming in and suceeding). I just hope he doesn't come in and do awful (if he can minimize turnovers I'm happy).

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 09:21 PM) Maybe it's the fact that he's the polar opposite of a lot of the boring ass announcers that you hear around baseball (ie: Seattle, Pitt :sleep ). Rex might be dumb when it comes to Baseball strategy and if you want to learn about baseball stay far away from Angel broadcasts but the one thing you can't argue is that he is entertaining. I've noticed there aren't many good anouncing teams anymore. Rarley do I come across some that are entertaining. The Twins announcers have grown on me a bit and I love Michael Kay (Yanks announcers). A's have absolutely hideous announcers (well if they have the same ones this year as last).

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 09:06 PM) I thought so, I always hated Hudler but the more I listen to him, the more I find myself appreciating his idiotic yelling and dumb senseless comments. PS. I'm gonna ignore that Caruso comment. Hold on...let me go suspend myself But ya, Hudler to me adds absolutely zero baseball intelligence to a game. I always hear him ranting and raving about things on the broadcast than I turn to look at my friends to see, did he just say that. Than we will stare and laugh thinking about what a buffon this guy is. Its like he never played the game or something hearing some of his expert analysis. To me its not the fact that he's annoying, because he is, its more about how many stupid things he says during a game (I'm not talking about being wrong when talking about a player, I'm talking about being wrong when it comes to generic baseball strategy). I can't wait till this offseason and I know most of the ticket holders in my section feel the same way (partially because I convinced them with my constant blathering about him. They all think highly of me after I whined and complained when they signed Cabrera and Finley (stupid moves). Heck I didn't even like Eckstein, but it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out signing Cabrera was a lateral move at best, one that cost them a whole lot more money. But pretty soon Erstad will be back in center and he's really fun to watch out there. I just wonder what the over/under will be on him getting hurt again.

I'm still semi surprised. No doubting he sucked in the preseason, but no one is going to tell me that he's worse than Kittner. My guess is the Bears plan on waiving Kittner later on and will be adding a veteran whose cut. Maybe even a guy like Rohan Davey.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 09:04 PM) Big Daddy Vladdy to the plate. Is it wrong that the more I watch Angels' games the more Rex Hudler is growing on me? Yes...in fact Mike Caruso would be a better announcer than the Wonderdog
