QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 7, 2007 -> 06:21 AM) You should check some of the games Miami has had. Not that they are a great team, but they have taken great teams down to the wire pretty regularly. Yeah, I'm familar with them. Their 3rd place Anaheim finish got my interest. Probably the best the MAC has to offer again. Kent State may be decent though.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 7, 2007 -> 03:01 AM) Xavier is pretty good and IU played about as bad as they could. Now, I don't think they're going to win the NC but that reasoning has nothing to do with the loss to Xavier. That's not a bad loss at all. Xavier is decent, possibly good, not great. We'll see if they'll be able to beat more quality teams and not lose to teams like Miami Ohio, who is fairly average. Regardless, IU should not be losing to them by 15 in Chicago, especially if they're "going to win it all this year". QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Dec 7, 2007 -> 05:00 AM) And I'd expect nothing less than criticism from a U of I homer whose username on a White Sox message board is related to Illinois basketball. If you had our team you would be saying the same thing. There are a lot of IU fans on this site, and every single one of them seems more rational than you.

I'm sitting here baffled at how anyone could be predicting a NC for an Indiana team that was humbled on a neutral court against a mid-major. They may very well be contenders come March, but not? Certainly not.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 04:17 PM) Apparently Grobe is staying at Wake Forest. LOL, this is just what Arkansas fans do. They have supposedly had everyone from Tommy Tubberville, Mike Leach, to hometown guy Butch Davis as done deals, and of course nothing works for them. Hilarious to watch their coaching search. Don't forget that Bill Self was a lock for them.

Really? Blizzard is making StarCraft II right now, and they usually only handle one game at once. But Street Fighter 4 is coming: Screenshot: http://media.1up.com/media?id=3448787&type=lg

QUOTE(buckweaver @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 01:38 PM) Half-man, half-pimp? So now let's start trashing Willie Harris because the Tigers got Miggy and everyone here is a pissed off Chicken Little! Some posters on this site are unbelievable. BTW, I met Willie at a Soxfest a few years back...a gracious, soft-spoken young man from Georgia. Best to him! Trashing him? He's a man-god.

Since we haven't heard anymore more, probably not. And no whispered names.

Jose Reyes will be the MLB2K8 coverboy.

No way does Hamilton get a top prospect. No way. Not with his problems.

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 11:03 PM) BTW, I promise after he decides that I'll reveal what I've been told. Until then, I will hold out hope that the Sox get him. Fuk? In regards to what?

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 10:58 PM) Yes, I've heard from a ton of places, either in the media or from some people involved with the club, that the Cubs and Fukudome have been working on a deal for over a month now. I think that was his point, but more often you see signed deals like this rather than someone flying way under the radar. And we aren't flying under the radar either, KW has made it known we want Fuk.

McFadden got SEC PotY. Wonder if it's any indication. No, probably not.

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 05:51 AM) or he could have traded Garland for some good prospects. Then you got to throw that deal into the discussion as well.

What was KW to do to get Cabrera? Maybe blame him years ago, because it would take a few years to build our Minors to match Det's offer.

If true, I'm guessing Bill Hall is not involved, just because he would have been mentioned in the article, seeing how he is an established talent.

Well, the Gil Meche deal looks like it will work out OK for the amount of criticism they took. But this? I can't possibly see this ending well. 36 million for him? Really, KC? Fitting he signs this the day it is announced that the Mitchell Report will be out next week.

Has there been an update on our own announcement mentioned back on page 10?

This is so disheartening. Unless half of the Tigers show up in the Mitchell report, I feel like we have already lost. We can no longer be buyers, no way. And hell, it will hard to even be sellers. The Tigers not only have talent, they have young talent.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 12:05 AM) Kenny is very crafty. When the Marlins accept, we will point out that we have no Geo Gonzalez, nor any rh John Danks. Cabrera for Fields, baby! Well, he did learn from Berry/Barry.

We've been hearing the Cabrera to Tigers reports all day and they have yet to happen.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 11:55 PM) Any chance that it could be Crede and another prospect instead of Fields??? If they are trading Cabrera, I don't see a reason they need Crede.

Our entire minor league system doesn't have an equal return for Cabrera. If he pulled this off, he's officially a man god.

QUOTE(Vance Law @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 10:00 PM) I read (can't remember where, now) yesterday Rowand was looking for 5 years and $60 million. There was a report out that some team "not believed to be the White Sox" offered Rowand a 5 year deal. Since there were no further specifics, my personal opinion is that Camp Rowand put it out there.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 05:25 AM) Yea...that is really really tough. If you don't mind me asking what's your GPA and ACT? 29 and a 4.1. Our scale grants a whole extra point for honors classes, but technically it's still out of 4.0.

I'm lost as to what to put on my list. All I got is the Simpson's Blu-Ray.
