QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 06:32 PM) I think one bad outing doesn't make you go into a panic move. We've still got Cotts and Politte for that role. Your concerns on Hermy are warranted, but let's wait before he actually bombs in the regular season, before we think a move might be made. ^^^

QUOTE(quickman @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 08:17 PM) true, but I will say games in arpil and May are won by the bullpen because starters do not go as deep into the game. We basically won the division with a quick start last year, the bullpen with teh exception of that damn cleveland game, came through big time. With this group I do not see it happening. Remmber when Koch was throwing 88. Well thats hermanson right now. Its going to get smacked. In april we have games against our own division. its goign to be a good test early. I say we need a bullpen arm sooner rather than later. Our starters didn't go deep into games in April/May of last year? They most certainly did. And, unlike Koch, Hermanson is not being counted on to close games. We need another arm in the pen. That much we agree on. But it won't be a tragedy if we're not able to trade for one before the season starts.

QUOTE(quickman @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 08:05 PM) this is very true, and yes I do like sweeney, better than anderson. back to the relievers, I would love to get Qualls from the astros. Jim, thiink we can get some players from the rockies and trade them to houston?!!!! Well, since as you say, our minor league system sucks. What do we have to give that they would want?

QUOTE(quickman @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 08:00 PM) oF COURSE, that would be good players, which we have very few in our minor leagues. Which one of these players that I mentioned in this thread does not suck? You said our minor league system sucks. I took that as the ENTIRE system.

QUOTE(MarlinFan84 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 08:02 PM) Ok, and make your sig "Salukis Are the most dominant team in Illinois collegiate basketball" No problem.

QUOTE(quickman @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 06:11 PM) You know, if you followed my posts I think our minor league system sucks, so I don't think they have overpaid especailly if it gets us to the world series. All these guys are un proven. We won the World series, thats the goal always, who cares about minor league players. We are in a positioon to win NOW not later, there will be atime when they blow this thing up and start over again, its not this year or next year, our pitching is too good. He will find someone. Does anything not suck to you?

QUOTE(MarlinFan84 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 07:40 PM) Dont take me wrong and think I am an Illini fan, far from it...I just like their chances. I'll change my name to "MarlinFan84isGod" if you're right.

QUOTE(Brian @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 05:56 PM) Says you can't get in until Monday, but I bet it is open sooner. You can now. I already did my Oakland bracket.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 07:35 PM) I'm glad someone understands what I'm trying to say... It sounds like some people here would rather be a 2 seed in a bracket with 4 top ten teams than in this one. Cuz we all know, it's all about the seed. You have a point. I thought you were implying that Tennessee deserved a 2 seed over Illinois/UNC.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 07:31 PM) Thanks for the support although some people (most people) might say you need to see a doctor if you enjoy my thoughts. I have no problem debating with somebody that actually knows what he's talking about. You know what they say, it'd be a boring ass world if everybody agreed on everything all the time.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 07:34 PM) havant counted yet, 6 b10 teams right? Correct

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) He's implying your lucky Tenn is the 2 seed in that bracket. Sure you may have been seeded low, but Tenn is the worse 2 seed and would probably be the worse 3 seed. That means your bracket is a lot easier thanks to that. Fair enough. I'd still rather have taken a chance on somebody knocking UCONN off in the sweet 16 before they got to us. Assuming that's how it played out. No sense in going on about this anymore. I'm just thinking about Air Force right now.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) Haha no, I've said if Gonzaga wins more than 2 games (ie gets to the Elite 8 or better) I'll ban myself for a week. And i'm sticking to it. LOL. That's good then. I actually like talking college hoops with you.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 07:21 PM) Tennessee is the 2 seed in the bracket. I don't think any team here can complain about being "screwed over." I think some people need to take off the orange-tinted glasses once in a while. Please don't tell me you think they deserved a 2 seed over Illinois or UNC?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 07:25 PM) If it happens, I'm gone. I don't lie like that, but i'm not concerned about Gonzaga in the Elite 8. Gone as in you're never gonna post again?

QUOTE(MarlinFan84 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 07:17 PM) I have UCONN losing to u of i We won't be able to do a thing inside against their front-court. Meaning will have to rely on our inconsistent guards to actually hit over 40% of their shots. It's not happenin.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 06:30 PM) They don't defend, we do. Bring it. No offense, but you did see the bracket we got last year right? #16, Nevada, UW Milwaukee, a #3 seed Arizona.....first 2 in Indy, second 2 in CHICAGO...then Louisville in St. Louis before UNC. That's not a screw job, that's as good a road as you can get. I was thinking the same thing. All we had to do was basically show up until we played Arizona.

One or two guys would have to get hurt for UCONN to lose to anybody from this bracket.

I'm drooling at the possibility of a Villanova/BC match-up in the regional semifinals.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 05:38 PM) No logic, both Illinois and UNC should have been ranked ahead of them, how sad. I'm in utter disbelief right now. Even my dad, who doesn't know a whole lot about college basketball, is like wtf?

Am I missing something? Why did Tennessee get a 2 seed? What's their logic?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 05:32 PM) Every member of this years committee should be fired for this bracket, for every reason possible. What a joke, and it goes FAR BEYOND just Illinois. I second that. These brackets are f***in horrible.

4 seed? Damn.

QUOTE(Felix @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 04:54 PM) Probably around the same time they last had a winning record. And Warner was pretty good. Unfortunetly, he is now an average QB. He's 34 years old and hasn't played 16 games since 2001. He completes his passes at a high percentage, but his TD:INT ratio is nothing special. All I know is they were #1 in passing yards a year ago. They were also dead last in rushing yards. That will change dramatically with Edge in there.

QUOTE(Felix @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 04:45 PM) If the Cards had a better QB and upgraded OL, then yea, this offense would be pretty good. However, I think you guys are exaggerating Warner as a QB. Warner was pretty good when healthy. That's obviously the key. I don't know much about their o-line. But when was the last time they had a back even half as good as James?
