QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 04:11 PM) Oh, ok, LOL. I was puzzled and I knew there was a pitcher on the Sox that met that category. Although Grilli is nothing in my book, imo. He was pretty well removed from injury cause he had pitched fully in the previous year with the Marlins organization if I recall. As far as Diaz goes, I'm souring on him. He'll never be a very good major leaguer. His only shot is back of the rotation or middle of the pen, imo. And he won't get there until he starts repeating his delivery and stops hanging pitches. Diaz can throw a sharp couple pitches but no matter what he'll throw a ton of flat breaking pitches that just HAAAANG. Well, I personally liked Jason and I definitely liked his stuff. I thought last year was Jason's first full year back from surgery if not well then I retract that statement. I'm not saying with Jason that he was going to be a star or anything but I do believe he had a shot to be decent but that's jmo. Anyways with Felix I'm with you. I've always thought he could be a number 5 starter in the bigs and I still think he could get there, he's just never going to be anything special. Like I said earlier there is obviously something upstairs with him that's not clicking in the majors. Besides the mental aspect the other thing that really bothers me about Felix is his fastball is so damn straight and if he's going to pitch in the bigs he's going to have to be perfect with that pitch.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) I know, I'm a real jagoff for being 16, huh? but it gets to a point with some guys (like Borchard) where it's just being overkill. .........and timo.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 03:51 PM) Hmm... Judging him off of last season, right around 50 IP? Kind of like judging a guy his first year off surgery on 45 major league innings.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 03:51 PM) he got out of it, that should make you happy enough Yup, hope he continues it. I think it's pretty obvious right now that a lot of Felix's issues are mental, hopefully he can overcome that.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 12:43 AM) This Ben Sheets talk is just a pipe dream. Why, if Sheets is available you can bet that kenny will get his nose in the bidding.

Ryan makes a nice play to get Felix out of the inning.

Something that seems to happen to Felix is he gets 2 quick outs and then next thing you know there is a 3 spot on the board. I know rogo just made an error but there seems to be some let down in Felix after the first 2 outs.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 03:33 PM) No DePaul play-by-play? If they don't beat UAB next game, even I don't think they deserve a tourney bid... They better win these next 2, at least. Nah, I think if they win today they're in.

Hey guys, just got back from school. I see that Joe is in the lineup, how's his swing looking??

QUOTE(Spiff @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 10:16 PM) Bulls*** foul call at the end. Tigert was out of control and they bailed him out. Agreed. You can't call that with 4.2 seconds left in a championship game.

Panthers win 59 to 58. Great Game.

Great game going on here. 4.2 Seconds left in the game. Tie ball game, UW-Milwaukee at the line for one more.

Under a minute to go UW-Milwaukee down 2.

Horizon League Championship coming down to the wire, UW Milwaukee down 2 with under 5 left to Detroit.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 12:25 PM) I don't think that Illinois is necessarily the best team out there but they are #1. They should be too unless they collapse in the Big Ten tourney. That's the exact same way I feel.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 02:43 PM) Saint Mary's who lost to the Zags deserves an at large bid, imo. They'll get in.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) There's a f***load of Illini fans here, but I wanna see what you guys think will go down in the Big XII tourney. The bottom half (visually0 of the bracket is much tougher, IMO. Predictions anyone? Mizzou over Nebraska Iowa State over Baylor Kansas State over A & M Texas over Colorado Oklahoma over Mizzou Iowa State over Tech Kansas over Kansas State Ok State over Texas Oklahoma over ISU Ok State over Kansas Ok State over Oklahoma

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 11:21 PM) Thanks Rowand....I'm so glad Frank's there! As am I, it was just great to see him in camp today and hear him up in the booth, never heard Frank so happy before.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 11:02 PM) That's awesome greasy, great job

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 08:54 PM) First weekend loss my ass. One loss to OSU on the road wipes out what they did against probable #1 seed Wake, #4 seed Gonzaga and Wake, #6 Cincinnati and #7 seed Wisconsin? Who the hell is going to beat them on a neutral court that is going to be in the 8-9 game? Maryland? Georgia Tech? Please. Not that I think Maryland or gtech would beat Illinois but both those teams could be pretty dangerous, imo. Maryland has to get in first
