He has a career .773 OPS.

Where is Kid Rock?

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 10:07 PM) I am getting so sick of the "it opened up a spot for Floyd or Danks" comment about Garland. That's completely hindsight Well, duh. Just like all trades, their effects should be analyzed with hindsight. QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 10:07 PM) Couldn't I say the trade of Garland allowed us to suffer from Javy all season long, Well, no, considering Garland being here or not more than likely did not affect what we had in Vazquez. Let's be the least bit logical here. If Garland was here, I think we can all agree that Danks or Floyd likely wasn't given a spot. QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 10:07 PM) or that we could've had someone step in Contreras' spot and not force our guys to go on short rest for so long (could possibly effect them for next season.) Feel free to complain about that. In fact, many people have. But again, let's be a little logical. The positives of having Danks/Floyd in there all season still well outweighs not having one of them in there for the majority of the season. That I think everyone could agre on.

QUOTE (Jeremy @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 09:55 AM) Really? People think of Everett as a crucial part of that team? I forget he was even on it. I'd say there's no way he was one of the dozen most important players on the team. He was probably the worst regular on the team. That year was one of the highlights of my life but I sometimes resent the fact that every single player on the team is now beloved. I am utterly and completely mystified how in the blue hell that you could possibly forget our regular season #3 hitter was even on the team. Ridiculous.

QUOTE (Shadows @ Nov 16, 2008 -> 07:17 PM) 2. COD3 was pathetic, im assuming you never played Call of Duty 4 which was incredible. Call of Duty 5 is great, the campaign was fun and the online play is fun as hell. That game has a lot of replay value with the Nazi Zombie mode and the online play. It would be a great buy. The makers of COD3 made this one, and no they did not do COD4, which is why I'm weary of it. Even the studio was worried about hence why they didn't number it as part of the official series.

Day After Tomorrow Redux

We all laughed at the Link trade when it happened. It would be nice if something came of it.

Fall Out 3 is the 47th best game ever on Gamerankings....Can't be that bad. I want CODWAW really bad though, even though COD3 was pretty bad. My holiday wish list in order: 1. Resistance 2 2. CODWAW 3. Fall Out 3 4. Little Big Planet 5. BioShock 6. Dead Space Lot of PS3 games. Not so much on the Wii side.

The first 11 or so minutes of NWST/IU might have been the single worse display of CBB I have ever seen.

QUOTE (Jeremy @ Nov 15, 2008 -> 09:05 PM) We pretty much gave Jon Rauch away If by giving away you mean for one of the key components of the 2005 championship team, then yeah I agree.

David Thorne owns SomethingAwful. It is real.

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 15, 2008 -> 10:19 PM) My buddy beat Resistance 2 in a day and a half and hes a f***ing idiot.So iam thinkin that game is way too easy. If it's like R1, then there is a HUGE difference in difficulty level. If you beat R1 on expert you are a video game king.

LOL at Kentucky

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 10:19 PM) Whats semi ironic about all this is Williams is usually on the other end of these trades, buying low on a player that has fallen out of favor..... Betemit could be considered that. Former top prospect with still some mega potential. Only problem is that it's been awhile since he's been good, and I don't see Walk fixing him.

Is Kanekoa Texeira anything?

Melky isn't even worth Swisher. It's a bad sign that Marquez was the first guy named too.

Illinois signs all four of their RSCI top 100 players. Nice class.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Nov 12, 2008 -> 05:17 AM) Ok, I found one more. Toni Ginnetti in the Dec. 14th, 2005 Chicago Sun Times wrote: "Sox rumored to be interested in Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Javier Vazquez", you have to pay for the full article so this will have to do. Javy was traded a few days later. http://mlb.mlb.com/content/printer_friendl...13/c1281555.jsp There are also a bunch linking us to Griffey, though that was in seasons past. I found plenty of things linking us to AJP between 04-05 too. I'm sure there is more if anyone wants to look around.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 12, 2008 -> 01:00 AM) 75%? That's not tonight though. I figured it was inevitable but SIU is struggling mightily right now.

What are the chances SIU beats UMASS?

Man I wish I could have watched. Did HBO do a 24/7 for this?

GA Southern beats Houston in a CBB opener for the ages

So what 5 people didn't feel Alexei was one of the 3 best rookies?
