I think it's more likely Deron goes to Dallas. It's weird, never heard of him having attitude issues.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 07:51 PM) The best line was at the resturant where they are talking about being at dinner at 6:30 and Phil says, "this place is on fire" and it was all old folks. Claire and Phil make that show. The storylines for Cam and Mitchell are usually pretty bad. I usually hate the Cam/Mitchell story lines, yet Cam (E. Stonestreet) is the one who wins all of the awards. It's crazy to me, as Phil (and Luke) are far and away the most entertaining characters.

Albert Pujols' extension - Cards fail to extend by deadline
QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 07:28 PM) That is exactly what has to happen. The Cardinals can only get the value for him if he signs an extension. Without the extension you will get he value of two draft picks for him. Screw the draft picks. If you're out of it at the deadline and know you're not going to go 10/300 million, then you trade him and try to get an amazing package. I liked the package proposed earlier of Morales, Trout, and Weaver. Hell, I'd say the Cardinals would be better with those three than just Pujols taking up 1/3 of their budget.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 04:33 PM) Taj is incredibly valuable in this league. He's a big who can play well above average defense and has some decent offensive potential. Not many of those guys in the league. And he can play D on both C's and PF's. It is why we are talking about potentially moving him in a Carmelo deal. He's valuable in the sense of if you get him in a trade for Courtney Lee, you think your team won. However, I just don't see these role players being able to get you Carmelo Anthony. Let's not forget that Taj is old for a 2nd year player, so it's not like he's someone like D. Favors where you can project him adding a lot of strength due to being 18 years old.

Something I keep hearing is that the Nuggets want Landry Fields to be a big part of the Melo to Knicks trade. I might be Landry's biggest fan, but players like him are a dime a dozen. Kinda like Bulls fans who begged the Bulls not to get rid of Taj last offseason.

Albert Pujols' extension - Cards fail to extend by deadline
2011 Cubs Slogan: Screw this season, we have a chance at Pujols! I still can't see this happening, as Cards would trade Pujols at the deadline if they're out of it and know they can't re-sign him.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) Wow, this show looks so awesome and so right up my alley. Holy s***. It has a really nice set of actors I like in it, too... Jimmi Simpson (McPoyle) Robert Knepper Domenick Lombardozzi Knepper was amazing on Prison Break, so hopefully he plays a big role in this.

QUOTE (Cali @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 06:49 AM) Modern Family has been missing waaaaaay more than it's been hitting this year. At least to me.... It's still a great show, but that was definitely a disappointing episode.

Jazz with some terrible possessions down the stretch. Anyone else think Deng got hammered by Kirilenko with 50 seconds left in the game? Great win!

I wasn't necessarily emotional when watching FNL finale, but when it was over, it definitely made me sad that we'll never see another episode. I already can't wait for 3 years down the road when Becky is in a movie with straight hair and I'm going to be like "that girl is so hot, she was on FNL."

Can't get the spoiler tab to work, but there's some more evidence out there that Zooey might be the mother.

Jake Peavy Thread
QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Feb 8, 2011 -> 07:24 PM) What caused his injury is his natural mechanics. When Peavy throws, after the release of the pitch his arm swings back upward instead of allowing inertia to carry it across his chest beneath him. (see the Mitch Williams analysis on the Sox webpage...)This results in his lat muscle taking most of the deceleration impact which is very dangerous and asking for trouble. IMO, If Jake wants to recover and excel, he's gonna have to alter that follow-though and from what I know about Jake, he's not gonna want to do that. The best thing for Jake and the team is to work that into his mechanics NOW. That is the work Cooper was doing with him last year and he just didn't want to stay with it because he was ineffective out there. Nice analysis, but that's the thing...just as important as Peavy's velocity is the torque on his slider. I don't even want to think about his first few starts last year where he was just rolling that thing towards the plate.

Jake Peavy Thread
It's so frustrating to hear that some of the bad habits he picked up at the end of 2009 might have caused his slow start in 2010 and the injury he ended up suffering.

Thanks 99. I just started watching HIMYM this year, and have DVR'd so many old episodes that I feel I watch 5 shows of it a night. One observation is that Robin has gotten significantly less attractive as time has gone on. As my wife says when watching it "motherhood has not been kind to her".

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 8, 2011 -> 05:04 PM) So after a run of pretty good episodes I thought HIMYM was pretty bad last night. It might be because I think the Zoey storyline is awful and pointless but I guess we will see where they go with it. She clearly is not the mother and I fail to see how Ted having yet another failed major relationship adds anything to the show. How do we know she's not the mom?

Nice to hear Watson's a good guy. Heard a rumor tonight that Tubby Smith will be coaching in the ACC next year, with NC State the likely spot. He'd love to go to GT, but they won't be able to afford him.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 7, 2011 -> 10:54 PM) Rodney Watson. Assistant for SIU forever then went to Southern Indiana and has been the head coach there for a couple years now. He's been absolutely dominant at USI but he had Jamar Smith last year and a pretty damn talented team for a D2 school. No clue what the talent looks like this year but these obviously aren't all players that he recruited in, so it's hard to get a good read obviously. To be honest, I just don't know enough about him to make an informed opinion.. That being said, Brian and I have talked about this and the one thing we both agree on is that we want SIU to actually hold a national coaching search and not just automatically stay in the SIU family like they've done for years now. I was under the impression that the USI coach was dirtier than hell. Hopefully that's not true.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Feb 7, 2011 -> 04:47 AM) I would guess that 90% of the posters on this thread is unhappy with how the basketball season is going for their team. I'm thrilled with this season, as it was the nail in the coffin for Hewitt. A .500 conference record, and you never know if they bring him back.
