QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 02:15 PM) Iowa will defeat the Illini in Iowa city pretty soon. Your undefeated season will come to an end Sure, I said the same thing last year and we got damn close, damn close. I think people have stopped listening to you when it comes to college sports predictions.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 03:08 PM) If the mets give away Heilman i think that tampa will get the better end of the deal in this trade. Looking from a long term standpoint. I'll go out and say that Heilman will be the better reliever between the two this year, if TB keeps him in the pen that is.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) it just boggles the mind at how ridiculous some people are on here when it comes to the red sox. And it boggles our minds how ridiculous you can be when it comes to the Red Sox.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 02:53 PM) 4 interceptions! That's a lot of defense! Well the amount of yardage on offense is ridiculous right now. To be honest, I just turned on the game a little while ago though and I was just going by the score when I made that comment.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 02:36 PM) Anyone checking out the Northwestern/UCLA game? Northwestern runs up a 22 point lead and then gives up 22 unanswered points. This game is going just as expected, tons of offense and no defense.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 02:17 PM) ND may lose to OSU, but they won't get blown out and everyone who said Oregon was more deserving of a bowl game can just shove it. I don't feel like arguing over the whole bcs crap again cause I think all of us can agree that the bs is garbage but I was never arguing who was better between ND and Oregon though I don't think ND is very good. That being said I was arguing that when you look at their whole bodies of work in the season that Oregon deserved to be there more. It's all moot anyways since ND ended up with an auto bid.

Did they have your permission to use that? You should sue. That is very cool.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 12:15 PM) Marte also hit the DL for a stretch. Also...it's not really that unbelievable for your team to stay that healthy...if you're mostly working with a young team, and you're not overworking people (i.e. Ozzie's "Sunday Lineup" which gave people a chance to sit down, rest, and avoid turning any little tweaks into nagging injuries) We don't have any injury prone players on our team, however freak injuries happen all the time and especially to pitchers. It's unrealistic to expect all of them to be healthy all year without a few little tweaks here or there.

I was all for Jon and Uribe for Tejada I would have packed Juan's and Jon's bags if necessary but I hate the idea of trading Contreras even for a Tejada. JC needs to stay on this team, you just can't trade a pitcher that could and will be(imo) one of the best in baseball this upcoming season.

Happy bday all.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 01:05 AM) Does anyone else see the preview of Hostle and piss themself? No, that would only be you.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 01:11 AM) I don't think the Orioles make any deals with us unless McCarthy's name enters the picture. I don't think Tejada is going anywhere but it's more realistic with Garland signed long term if you ask me. Like I said though, I highly highly doubt Miggy gets moved this year.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 12:43 AM) Unless Garland was aware of it before he signed. I think that would be a very negative move for our organazation. You don't trade a guy after he signed with us for a bargain price (compared to what he would have received on the market 1 year from now) Don't expect any more "hometown discounts" for a while if we did that. Ya, that's a good point. I do think there is a better chance of him getting traded for Tejada then JC that's all I'm saying.

Garland and Uribe for Tejada is much more realistic now then it was before and more realistic then JC and Uribe imo. EDIT: This is obviously if he doesnt have that no trade in the first year which I still haven't seen confirmed anywhere yet.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 29, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) and why is that??? Chuck Lamar is gone.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 29, 2005 -> 09:11 PM) get in chat you b****es I would if I could. My wireless at my moms house isn't working for whatever reason right now for my laptop and the regular computer we have here just absolutely sucks.

f*** YOU COMCAST. EDIT: Well that was weird but atleast we didnt miss anything.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 29, 2005 -> 08:52 PM) weak that nobody is in chat tonight Meh, down 4-2 we have no chance. This game is already over.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Dec 29, 2005 -> 07:52 PM) I think the Memphis-UAB matchup will shape up to be an exciting game. I may have to check that one out in person. That game will be fun to watch, no doubt. I love watching UAB play every year.

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Dec 29, 2005 -> 07:31 PM) I would keep Williams, he has more upside. BTW, do you think you got a good deal out of the "2nd round pick, Jeremy Shockey, and Randy Moss for Antonio Gates" trade? That seems like a lot for Gates, even though he is pretty dominant. Well he upgraded his TE spot, he obviously wanted to keep quan over Moss so it makes sense in a keeper.

QUOTE(S720 @ Dec 29, 2005 -> 08:10 AM) Folks, I really don't know now. Since Dick Allen mentioned about Garland is supposed to receive $7 or $8 mil in arbitration for next year anyway, this means Garland's 2-year extension worths $11 per year for 2007 and 2008. I personally think that is too much for Garland. Then you haven't followed the pitching market very well the last two offseasons.

Jose is a guy I just do not want to trade, he's to darn good imo to let go so hopefully we can get something done.

Happy bday josh.
