QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 03:45 PM) 20 minutes, the time counts up instead of down. That's why I was confused.

How long are the periods?

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 02:35 PM) So if DJ White does not get injured, are we having any of these Davis discussions? No.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 11:42 AM) for the first time this year the ncaa is releasing the rpi it uses to rank teams for the tournament. these rankings will come out each week. for intents and purposes of tournament selection, this is the only rpi that matters and it directly effects the seeding process. ncaa rpi 2nd time actually.

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 10:05 AM) I said it in 2003 and I'll say it again now: the Pistons will regret taking Darko Milicic. Now it appears they are. A championship in 04 and runner ups in 05 since that draft. I don't think they're regretting anything.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 12:39 PM) I can't believe UNI and SIU lost last night, talk about blowing it big time. We didn't play well but Bradley is near unbeatable at home. They've lost 1 game this year at home and that was to WSU. They've beat us, Creighton, UNI and Missouri State in Peoria.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 11:31 AM) Well, I don't care much about sacrifices, not unless they come in the late innings of a tight game. Playing for 1 run will get you 1 run. So? Playing for the big inning will a lot of times get you nothing. We did win a lot of 1 run ball games last year.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 08:57 AM) What are you talking about you drama queen? WSU is famous for folding in the last 2 weeks of the season, just watch. Ya I know. I just highly, highly doubt they lose at Drake or home against the Red Birds. There is a slight chance I suppose they can lose up in Des Moines, but I see 0 chance of ISU beating them.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 02:01 AM) Not saying it's going to happen to Tucker, but hopefully they can hit on one of these lefties. I'm not expecting it but it sure wouldn't shock me. Our organization is great at finding "diamonds in the rough."

Anyone want to take a stab at naming all of them?

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 01:20 AM) OK, well I for one hope Ozzie looks at: p/pa k/bb babip Then I hope he throws all those stats out due to small sample size and the level of spring training compeition. If ozzie ever uses babip, I will chop my head off.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 12:59 AM) Get with the times. Ana Ivanovic and Maria Kirilenko. Ana Ivanovic What the hell is with the non revealing pictures?

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 12:55 AM) The thing is, back when Penny was in Orlando, he led a player revolt that got Brian Hill fired in the 1st place. Even though he's got a huge expiring contract, I assure you Hill wants no part of Penny on this team right now (even though he wouldn't play for Orlando obviously). Ya, I gotcha. I just hate Jamal sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 12:52 AM) , I'd rather get Penny and David Lee), Yes, yes you would.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 12:45 AM) Quizas. Then again, games in April count as much as Games in September when all is said and done. Yes they do, and I believe the lineup with Juan 2nd and Tad down in the order could be better then the other way around. Tad is going to be a better overall hitter down in the order, so at worst we get a much better Tad for a little while. Whether stats back it up or not, there is definitely a possiblity that Juan can be a good number 2 hitter. He's a fantastic fastball hitter, and he's going to see less junk with Pods on base, and like I mentioned before Juan was up there in sac flys last year, he's arguably our best bunter, he's very good at giving himself up. I honestly don't see to much of a downside here.

This move gives you a higher ceiling for the lineup if Juan could adjust well enough. Gooch can become a run producer and a pretty potent one at that. Juan has always been much, much better when he has a job to do. He was near the top of the league in sac flys last year iirc and when he has a job to do, not only does he stay on the ball and drive it to rf, he's also more patient at the plate. You might see a whole new Juan in the 2 hole or at worst Juan is the same free swinger he's been in the past, our gm and manager realize this and the switch is made quickly.

I was opposed to it at first cause I love gooch in the 2 hole but now I think it's worth a shot. Juan has proved time and time again that he's a much better hitter when he has a job to do, he stays on the ball more and tries to drive it to rf when he needs to. He wil now have to do that a lot more and not only could he do a good job, there's a good shot his personal stats will raise a ton, though I couldn't care less about that aspect. If it doesn't work out, then ozzie just goes back to gooch.
