QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Mar 17, 2009 -> 05:01 PM) "The Pope", Don Pall and, believe it or not, Josh Paul, the goat of the 2005 ALCS both stick out as south siders with a penchant for the team. John Ely is a huge Sox fan. I'm pretty sure Cliff Floyd and Granderson were Sox fans also.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 17, 2009 -> 02:08 PM) According to the experts, I dont see what the point is for Illinois to even fly out to Portland. Chester Frazier = Deron Williams and without him they are gonna get smoked by Western KY. I was thinking that last night...Chester Frazier's become the most overrated player in cbball history. Someone lumped his injury into that of Blake Griffin and Ty Lawson's. Frazier's a good defensive player and solid rebounder...but like you said, you would have thought he was a top 5 player in the country with all the attention given to his injury.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Mar 16, 2009 -> 09:29 PM) so colon looked pretty bad, he doesn't have the stuff to not locate....i imagine its mainly due to the fact that its his first time on the mound really, and that he'll figure it out, but he can't be the hard thrower he was early in his career....he's gonna have to pitch I wasn't expecting much. Let's face it...there's a reason he got a much cheaper contract than guys like F. Garcia.

Just have to be happy Colon's on the mound...if he's starting by mid-May, I'll be content.

Lillibridge is just so overmatched....as I duck from Thunderbolt

What were Colon's results?

Anyone ruling out Owens as the favorite right now is probably wrong. I heard a radio clip tonight where Ozzie said Owens is swinging the bat great right now, he's just not finding holes.

LSU could be a bad match-up for UNC. UNC can't guard the three, and Thornton's a fantastic player. Johnson has huge length, which could give Hansbrough fits.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Mar 15, 2009 -> 10:30 PM) Illanoy has to play WKU and if they survive, Gonzaga in the NW, cmon. Gonzaga is the soft type of team thought that Weber thrives against though.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Mar 15, 2009 -> 11:29 PM) Jesus, the South is stacked! Syracuse isn't a great 3 seed, but Arizona St. is a great 6 seed.

No way Illinois deserves a 5 with Frazier gone

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 14, 2009 -> 10:37 PM) Honestly, though, I haven't seen Egbert throw....does he have a chance to make the back of the pen? I haven't seen him pitch...who knows what his chances are. First time seeing Lillibridge hit....about as overmatched as expected.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 14, 2009 -> 09:34 PM) You're hurting Timo's feelings. I would never knowingly say something bad about him.

Betemit's easily going to be the most dangerous PH we've had in a long time.

I've said this a few times...KW should have acquired another righty reliever this offseason.

Wise is 0-3 with 3 K I still can't believe KW didn't address the CF position this offseason.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Mar 14, 2009 -> 09:46 PM) I'm starting to get worried about Quentin. His bat looks considerably slower than last year, which is exactly what I feared when he had the wrist injury. I'm more concerned that he's rolling over on everything at the plate.

If Quentin played this way last ST, he might have started the year in A ball.

Getz is easily the quickest player on the Sox from the batter's box to first.

Just go with the Wise-Anderson platoon, and tell Owens to try out for the Bears.

I'm just hoping Favors is so talented that he makes Hewitt into a better coach.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 09:57 PM) Owens with a soft grounder to SS, no throw attempted, infield hit. Crap

Frazier's out for the year, but it's not being reported yet. Rightfully so, Illinois doesn't want to give the committee any reason to lower their seed.

One of the best games ever!

I've realized that I'm a bigger fan of DWise than a lot of people on here.
