  1. Ya, that looks like the background color to me.
  2. No matter what happens to the Illini this year, they should be a top top team next year. They get Brown and Archibald back as juniors and have some other good young talent. I also think MSU will be very impressive and Iowa should be a pretty strong team. But to me Illinois and MSU will both be top 10 teams next year and the Big Ten should be on its way back next season, although I think both Wisconsin and Illinois will win a couple and MSU could be a threat to win a few as well.
  3. Dang, I hope its nothing too serious. He's always been a class act and that piece on him when he was in Iowa was just impressive. He opened up his house to the fans and anyone else.
  4. Lol, I'm just not very pleased with relying on two unknowns in a sense for our 4th and 5th spot. But I don't think I'd actually make the Benson deal because the Sox have a budget, and I think there would be better options. But I'm up for any deal that gets the Sox extra starting pitching, assuming its good and assuming we aren't giving up any top prospects. And if Spivey is on the block for cheap, why not get him cause Harris sure as hell isn't opening up many eyes But your right, I'd like to see a few changes made if they are actually improvements and don't cost much.
  5. I have Florida going pretty deep into the tourney...maybe the elite 8, I forget.
  6. Utah over Boston College Louisville over Xavier Southern Ill over Bama Arizona over Seton Hall I agree that Western Michigan could beat Vandy, but I didn't pick them.
  7. I'd do it in a heartbeat. I'm not a huge Benson fan, but when healthy he can be pretty solid. Its no secret I don't like Rauch and while Stewart is solid, I don't see him becoming an ace so I say why not. But I think there are better options out there then Kris Benson.
  8. From what the Sox had said, they had been pretty pleased with Borchard's swing this spring. Hopefully he can get this injury behind him and stay healthy all season. It can't help that he always seems to be going down with some sort of nagging injury and when he plays through it, I'm sure it effects his power. I think he'll be up for good sometime this year. For some reason I have a little faith in Borchard making it. On the opposite side of the spectrum, I have almost no faith when it comes to Jon Rauch.
  9. Pacheco and Majewski are two guys that have really struggled this spring.
  10. Hey Heather Sounds like teaching is a heck of a lot of work. Hope your having fun while doing it (well as much as you can possibly have when your that busy) and Go Sox
  11. Here's a question, could this somehow be a thing scientists could look at when it comse to unfreezing humans that were cryogenically frozen? On the plus side, I don't eat lobster so I don't have to worry about thawing out a frozen lobster and getting pinched
  12. Am I like one of the only people that has yet to see this film?
  13. I don't think this would be an appropriate answer, because I don't really have much faith in putting a lot of my interests in the governments hand. With special interest groups, political bases, etc, I feel a lot of people would be left out and I don't want to have to trust the government to give those things. I also wonder how effective the systems would be when nationalized, because the government doesn't exactly have the greatest record of operating things effeciently.
  14. This doesn't seem horrible. I'm assuming both of these people wouldn't be used on the battefield but more for intelligence and such. I wonder how they figure out whose a linguist and like whose talented at computers and such.
  15. Gonzaga vs Oklahoma State Duke vs Uconn Gonzaga vs Uconn I got the Zags winning, although I'm not sure I'll leave it this way.
  16. I thought Willy Mo Pena had no options because he signed a major league contract or something along those lines. I don't know the exact thing, but he had to be up in the majors by a certain year and after that he couldn't be set down without passing through. It was just a weird contract if I recall. I think Pena is still like 21 or 22 and the Reds, since they suck, should just be playing him everyday.
  17. Sweeney has some power. Watching him take BP, I was like wow, he's got an easy swing and the ball isn't going too far. Then I look and the ball is carrying out of the park to center. Its like a sneaky type power and the kid is only 19. He's going to fill out nicely and should develop even more power, but he already has more then just "Gap Power that should develop into home run power".
  18. I'm free and happy. Makes sense to me, I don't ever let anything bother me and 99% of the time I'm in a good mood.
  19. Ah brilliant, Pargo is a hell of a lot better then Brunson. I got to see Pargo a lot last season when he was a Laker and he's a solid pg.
  20. He didn't pitch when I was there, but he's supposed to have good stuff.
  21. I'd go for it, because its the type of move that could catapult this franchise back into being a major market team. It could also blow up, but I think if the team sucks this year, it will probably be blown up anyway, so they might as well take the shot now.
  22. I should add, Junior Spivey would be an awesome fit on the White Sox. I've thought this for a long time and I think he could be had for someone like Matt Ginter and a lower level prospect. Or maybe even Rauch for Spivey. Spivey would bring speed and a real threat at the top of the lineup, which to me, along with starting pitching is the biggest void on this club.
  23. I'd ask for Ventura and Perez and see if they could somehow pull them. I don't think Paulie will be around this year. Gload is impressive and frankly the Sox offense isn't a concern, well not the middle part of the order (The top of the lineup, yes), but the starting rotation is still a huge concern, imo. I'd also gladly take Ishii.
  24. Singleton played pretty good last year and I always thought he had a good attitude. I was always a Singleton fan and he had some clutch hits with Oakland. I say why not. I also don't think Jackson has much left, so I wouldn't be shocked if someone else is the reliever, although it is nice to have a vet presence for the final slot.
  25. Lol, only thing I did was yell Check it for Cork after Sammy broke his bat. And then after Sosa's homer, when the crowd died down I yelled "Throw it Back" Although most of the people around me asked what my hat was...Whether it was a Boston hat or a Detroit hat...and my reply would be nope, its a Baron's hat...the best damn AA team out there
