Damn what's up with these point guards gettin beat up. (Ironically the skills challange PG guys) CP3 strained his right calf/groin, Nelson dislocates his right shoulder and Rose has a sprained left foot. Expect Tony Parker and Devin Harris to get injuries as well to complete this magnificant turn of events for the skills challenge. And yes lostfan you are right. It's the MCL not ACL for Bynum and it's on the opposite leg (last year torn ACL on right knee, this year torn MCL, left knee) I'll tell you this. I'd be hesitant to sign the kid long term. (or after his first big/prime contract) He's had freak injuries but those knees are going to be in real bad shape when the 30's come hittin.

Angelo thrives in the second round and on. It's usually where he does very, very well. (though the past couple seasons there have been more misses than hit) Other than Olsen (which was an obvious pick) and of course Urlacher, etc.. our first round picks are usually... ill be nice... not good/or bust.

God I'm f***ing jealous of some of you. I've been sober for 2 weeks now and I hate it!!!

Honestly if Lillibridge leads-off then a s***load of people will be happy particularly considering what he brings. (speed, OBP, [OPS also for those OPS lovers at the lead-off] some pop, great defense, though probably won't hit much for average) But of course that means he has to either win the 2B job (he probably won't get SS even though he is the superior defenser to the Cuban Missle, maybe just on days off perhaps and I just don't Getz as a lead-off hitter, excellent #2 hitter though but as of right now Ozzie has him at 9th) or CF (wide open competition even though most would love to see BA win it especially considering JD's declining defense is still out in RF and Ozzie isn't wise enough to switch the younger, faster, better D CQ in RF and JD in LF) If Alex's boy wins the job, then unless he completely sucks ass in the bigs, most will be preety happy, thus ending the conversation about the lead-off hitter for a while. (maybe not the bashing of the players, KW, or Ozzie/the coaches, not named Cooper, but the lead-off nonetheless) I personally don't mind Owens at all, but I would rather see him out there if he really brings that spark/tablesetter/OBP that we need OR if it's absolutely nessesary. [ala like if we trade Dye for other needs] If he hits like he did in single A for us [would cream my pants if he had his AA numbers translate here]) then we'll be in good shape regardless of his arm.

We'll see how the Bulls do in this road trip. So far, as good as the Hawks (though the Hawks just recently lost) but the good tests are comming up tonight. So far Deng has really stepped his game up and looks like the Luol Deng we want to complement with Rose now and into the future. (though we probably don't have a choice regardless with his contract) Thomas (another future core guy perhaps) and Noah (Rose made him look damn good against Sacremento ala Tyson with CP3) have also stepped it up nicely. Even Hinrich has been a nice surprise with his minutes, defense has been damn solid and assist/decision making (though he still frustrates me with his consistant dribbling out the clock + turnovers) 20-27 so far... who knows if this will get good [doubtful] (maybe a trade or two to help the future at the deadline and pack in some wins) or ugly (no trades, we start a horrid losing streak, thinking lottery, etc..) JR's backing of Pax is sad to hear. (though not all is Pax's fault but taking NO blame AT ALL? Really JR?)

I'm higher on Fields more than others here so I'm really excited to see him play. I think he'll shock people with his average (.260-265ish) and IMO, will not strikeout as much as some think he will (he'll be at 100+, but not 140+) The K's don't bother me anyway. I'd rather see him K but we still have a batter left then see him ground into double plays all the time. I also feel it's a blessing to not see a player hit weak pop-ups to the left/right time every freaking time going for the long ball (Love Crede, but am a bigger Fields fan) I love Josh's potential not to mention his bat will probably be superior to Crede's (even with a semi-down season he can put up around the same OPS as Crede's best season) but of course the lesser D. (which isn't butcherish anyways) As you can see... I LOVE Fields (some here saw him during his college days, including myself I've always loved what he could/can/should/etc.. be) Plus, he's Carlos Quentin's best friend on the team and you can't piss TCQ off. Not worried at all about Getz either, but I like Lillibridge's potential a s***load more. Should be a fun season, watching these kids play. I worry about Marquez but hopefully he shocks alot of us and I love Richard as our 6th SP/LR guy. Kinda fitting the role of what Masset did last season. The only thing I'll hate is if Ozzie thinks Wise can be a full-time regular. (Or our LF/CF/lead-off hitter) I just have a sick feeling on that.

Homer Bailey (and Josh R./or a solid spect) is wearing a sox uni. Don't book it of course, though I actually dreamed it. Maybe it's something dealing with the Kosher dogs or something equally as delicious..

I breathe very loud. I can't help it. Drives my friends/ex's crazy esp. in movie theaters. I also take long showers. No wonder my family wanted me out of the house.

Ah, baseball america has alittle article on him. Very interesting. Nice kid, but isn't very coachable

Geez that was a bad coaching game by VDN.

His Stats Here

Forgot to mention my action figures even though I recently gave them to my brother. (No mom, they are not dolls!!! ACTION FIGURES!!)

If Griffey is actually "suspected" of anything, (can't believe I'm actually seeing this stuff posted with my own eyes) then that means you would also include Frank in that group considering they were both the biggest backers against any enhancing drug use since the mid 90's. Hell, Pujols is probably the most secretive user back in the early 2000s, but of course he's getting praised, even though he's a tremendous player. I will say this again.. when/where/how did all the Bonds love come all of a sudden? Where were you guys one/two years ago?

Barack Obama Bonds (other than me wite, TRU, etc.. where did all the Bonds love come from all of a sudden) Brian Anderson Bologna Serena Williams attractiveness (yea I said it Carl)

Cartoons, sports cards (baseball/football/etc..) and playing arkade games or still play on the gameboy from time to time.

Oh, and I have to say I despise the Jonas Brothers. (sp?) How they ever got famous/popular.. I'll never know. Coffee, and guys who wear tight jeans (notably the pop-rock/gothlic dudes) I hate also. Also cheap beer (Icehouse, I'll drink it but won't enjoy it.) Oh and one more.... fat chicks who wear tight clothes. Personal hatred and disgusting.

Looks like Sean "The Mayor" Casey isn't too far behind.

Props to G&T and santo on their comments. Honestly I can't even think of none other than the ones posted other than maybe my extreme dislike for seafood.

If the beer goggles say yes.... then what the hell go for it. You can hate yourself in the morning. If you suck at drinking games/going shot 4 shot/etc.., just act cool/lay low somewhere. Also if you get caught up by 5-O.. please don't lie to them and don't panic either. (I hate parting with people who have no idea what to do if police invade unexpected and they panic.. it's pathetic) Bust a joke after it's all done, only 95% of them are assholes ya know.

The 2009 Whitesox... The Young.. the Fat... and the Cheapness.

That kid is the only reason I still watch Bulls games. And Tyrus to some extent... if he's allowed to play.

Well at least the chat room will be even more interesting..

Usually when were projected to suck, we usually do very well in the season. (vice versa on the projected to win) Not sayin it's gonna happen this year, but it'll be interesting to see how these kids were playing respond. They will also be fun to watch.

Even though the Taveras signing was a bit pukeable, the Reds will surprise alot of people this season, assuming Dusty doesn't f*** the kids' arms off.

Ima make a flyer for next season saying "Give Earl Bennett A f***ing Chance."
