Had Kansas being beat by Wisconsin too. SB

I like Wisconsin's defense in most match ups. Bucknell may be good, but I think Wisconsin is under rated. Its possible for the Big 10 to have 3 teams in the Sweet 16, 4 of Wisconsin's 8 losses came to them. SB

I think they go with Derrick Johnson. SB

Illinois should be thanking Kansas for taking Self. In other news Wisconsin gets Bucknell in the 2nd round. Much nicer than Kansas. SB

Anti-Trust exemption means that MLB is not subject to anti-trust lawsuits. IE I want to start a MLB team, they wont allow me to, I can not sue them for monopolizing baseball. As for the exemption Ive read that it was technically granted by the judiciary in a court case, with them saying that congress could take this exemption away. SB

But the Dolphins can draft a QB in the first, and get a RB in the 2nd. Damn didnt realize Dolphins dont have 2nd round pick. My guess is they trade down. SB

Im starting to get a strange feeling Phins will go QB, and look for RB in 2nd round or trade. SB

Watch the aides, they are just waiting to point to the Congressmen what MLB is screwing up. SB

Last guy made major mistakes saying there is no reason for legitimate criticism, basically implying Congress has no idea what its talking about. Fehr should not bring up 4th Amendment rights, those only apply to GOVT. action. MLB is a private employer. SB

Nah Sosa clamed up. Once he started with his: I no speaka the English. There was nothing more they were going to get. No use in asking when hes just going to sit there with a befuddled look. SB

Of the almost 4k polled at ESPN, over 80% believe Mac used steriods. And people wondered why there were no lawsuits against Canseco, lol. SB

Its irrelevant if he tested for them. Possession is the larger crime. It is unlikely that he has any steriods now, therefore there is really nothing to prosecute. It would be like prosecuting some one who admitted to being drunk while they were 18. SB

lol Congress are tricky b****es. Just because Mark has taken the 5th does not mean that they wont try and trick him to reveal stuff. SB

Criminal case, witness against himself. They could take the 5th on this question: "During your time as a player did you ever take steriods with Mr. Canseco?" They could not take the 5th on this question: "During your time as a player, did you ever witness another player taking steriods?" The second question there is no way to incriminate themselves, therefore the judge could put them in contempt of court for not answering. SB

Well yahoo is lame but I made it in time, just had to make 4 accounts and keep trying until 1 worked. Seems if you do anything wrong with the private group 1 time, your account is screwed up and keeps getting the error. SB

Well somethings wrong and it keeps giving me the: Not sure what the problem is tried to relog etc, but to no avail. Times ticking but hopefully Ill make it in. Sb

Well I in essence cheated to start and give my Sox a boost in terms of young talent. I signed free agents and then traded them for young cheap prospects, so my talent level is higher. I sim the majority of my games and then play the play offs. Beat Boston 7-0 with Buerhle pitching a 2 hit shut out. C: Victor Martinez (Miguel Olivo) 1b: Justin Morneau 2b: Rickie Weeks (Willie Harris) SS: Jose Reyes (Juan Uribe) 3b: David Wright (Dallas McPhereson) OF: Juan Rivera OF: Vernon Wells OF: Grady Sizemore SP: Mark Buerhle Rich Harden CC Sabathia Edwin Jackson John Van Benschoten RP: Blanton Vizcaino Marte And then a bunch of SP prospects that I put as relievers. My closer had 42 saves his rookie year. SB

For the last few months the biggest knock on Harris was not his talent, it was his attitude. Thus if his attitude has improved, the White Sox are probably not as interested in getting rid of him. He is cheap, very good defensively, fast, and patient at the plate. He will mature and become better as his ability to read pitchers gets better. Iguchi we hope can do good, but he has not played 1 game at the ML level. SB

lol Immitation is the highest form of flattery. And its just for fun, of course Im not revealing if no one else is. SB

I just want to see how everyone spent their payrolls. Thats the most interesting part. SB

Your starting pitching may be troublesome. Greinke, Webb are good young pitchers but play for below average teams. This usually means that they are going to have to be dynamite to get an average amount of wins. Wells is meh, and also plays for a below average team. Bronson I would not expect much from. The top 3 are good, but as SSK2 said that if the Sox are slumping then your down to 1 reliable SP for wins. You have much more OF depth than infield depth. Your if is very unreliable and could really be a problem. Matsui never was able to even play a single day for me last year, Dallas is a rookie, and Durham is on the wrong side of his career. Iguchi is an okay back up, but without a strong IF already, he may be starting more than you would like. You have good talent, if you can just get it a little more diversified that would help your team immensely imo. SB

I probably put it in a more cynical light than ESPN would, but who really cares. Ill let Congress get the answers, no reason to speculate at this point. SB

Some sports newspaper is going to say that during a 1990's FBI probe there were implications that Mac was on steriods. SB

Id work for the Cubs if it would get my foot in the door. ::shrugs:: Its not like I would not love to work for the Sox, but if they do not want you, then what are you going to do? SB

If by get ugly you mean that it will become clearer that the MLBPA knew about a steriod problem and purposefully tried to prevent a better steriod policy from being implemented, then yes I do think this will get ugly. This is not about catching a player, this is about trying to eradicate steriods from sports in general. That is why they are trying to get all the leagues to test the same way. SB
