QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 12, 2011 -> 01:36 PM) That's what I've been saying for months. It sets up your best hitters in a R-L-R-L-R (switch AJ and Quentin), and it puts Rios, who has good speed, in front of the heavy hitters. Rios just really isn't that great of a hitter, Dunn and PK should really be batting 3-4.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 12, 2011 -> 12:43 PM) Dislike. Agreed.

Danks or Dunn.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) Tim? Thanks bud. I meant that I can't believe he was comparing Duncan to Hakeem, that's just a bad comparison.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 09:24 PM) I always thought that Garnett and Duncan were similar as well. Duncan?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 07:50 PM) What are you implying? Honestly, I really like the Felipe Paulino, Ty Wiggington, Matt Lindstrom additions. Yes, I know Paulino's numbers flat suck. But his stuff is real. If he could ever harness it hell be a hell of a pitcher. I expect breakout years from De La Rosa and Ian Stewart. If anybody could do it... Ha, I actually agree with you that the Rockies are the favorite to win that division. That being said, the Giants are on my short list of teams who I think can win the World Series this upcoming season, and the Rockies aren't. Kind of odd but that's how I see it.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 08:39 PM) You don't say? CarGo is going to be the MVP and Cy Young this upcoming season.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 07:27 PM) Really? I would have to say I liked Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, young Shaq, Dominique, John Stockton to name a few more than I like Blake Griffin. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 08:05 PM) Throw in guys like pre-crack/pre-fatass Shawn Kemp, young Stacey Augmon, Hornets version of Larry Johnson and Kevin Johnson to that list. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 08:16 PM) Akeem Olajuwon was amazing to watch in his early days. A seven footer with the footwork of a point guard. And those were all great ones to watch back in the day(though for a few I was too young to remember anything but highlight reels and I hate Shaq, the young and old version) but overall I just like Blake better.

QUOTE (Cali @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 05:38 PM) I don't think there has been a team since the '03 Marlins who have less of a chance to repeat than the Giants. Even with Lincecum/Cain/Bumgarner, They had so much go right in '10 and followed by a very quiet off-season....And that division is always tough and close... Eh, that division still isn't all that great. They get into the playoffs and those top 3 can certainly carry you to another title. I sure as hell wouldn't bet on them to repeat but if they do indeed get back to the playoffs, they'll certainly have a shot.

QUOTE (Cali @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 05:24 PM) Another list for you all to digest: Top 9 POWER RANKINGS pre-srping training: 9. Brewers 8. White Sox 7. Cardinals 6. Rangers 5. Tigers 4. Yankees 3. Giants 2. Red Sox 1. Phillies SHOCKED to not see the Twins on there.... Tigers, Cardinals and Rangers all extremely overrated there.

These lists were just supposed to be based on 2010, correct?

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 9, 2011 -> 08:09 PM) Steve Liccar lol, really?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 11:54 PM) Ain't no way 84 games wins this division. Agreed, but I'll take it!

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 10:14 PM) I disagree with both of you. I lover The Other Guys. So outrageous that it was hilarious. I'm with you on this one. I really do love reading this thread because I differ in opinion with you guys on sooooo many movies.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 10:11 PM) He and Blake are my two non-Bulls favorite players in the league. I don't think I've ever been a fan of a non Bulls NBA player as much as I am one of Blake right now.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 10:11 PM) That'd be a HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE addition. What? A Juan Pierre jersey to J4L's collection?

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 10:09 PM) I agree, Utah State has definitely carved its niche as a 20-25th ranked team even though they don't beat anyone. Everyone knows that I'm a mid major guy but if they don't win the WAC tourny, there's no way in hell they deserve an at large, but they'll probably slide in like UTEP did last year but unlike last years Miners, Utah State doesn't even pass the eye test.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 09:55 PM) and I'm confident they wouldn't win 6 games in one of the bigger conferences. That's an exaggeration but ya Utah State really isn't all that great, that I agree with you on. That's one of the few times you'll see an overrated mid major, mostly because Utah State has definitely earned a reputation the last few years.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 04:59 PM) I dont know how tryouts are done in other places but when I went to school there, there was one tryout. Kids who played for the team before didnt tryout but new kids did. Then you were either placed on varsity or JV. And for your second point, that is why you put the kid in certain situations. I wouldnt put him in if it was 4-3 in the late innings. But if it was 7-0 in the last inning, why not let him finish it off. And the head coach is the one implying teams would bunt every time in order to take advantage of the kid. The head coach was searching for an out and found one in cutting this kid. I'd say it's decently important to be able to move around the mound a bit. I obviously don't know if the coach was looking for a way to get rid of him but he certainly shouldn't just keep him on the team because he's disabled and from the sounds of it that's what this article is implying.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 06:16 PM) You can have it, pm me your address Damn it, that would have went great with my collection that consists of Esteban Loaiza.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 05:31 PM) He did, but Michael Jordan came back. It is a shame when/if a player drives a coach like that out of a job. Don't care how good he is. Well ya, you know what I meant.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 02:30 PM) I personally think Sloan should've been fired years ago. I'm sorry. You shouldn't get job security for life when you've won absolutely nothing. You would think all the years he's been coaching and all the quality teams he's had he would've won one title by accident. He never had a team to win a title, he just didn't.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 11:56 AM) I wear pajama pants sometimes when I'm shopping. I've never gone out in full lounging attire, though. I got out in pajama pants all the time when I'm just running to the store. I couldn't care less what the hell I look like when I just need to pick up a few things.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 02:33 PM) There are a lot of people, including myself, that disagree. I've honestly never even heard this argument before. It's quite wild to me.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 01:28 PM) Like I said before, if Im given the choice between being tortured to death or being shot to death, Im going to take the none of the above option. The entire idea of humane killing is nothing more than a human invention to try and make us feel better about the simple fact that murder is murder, death is death. That's pretty crazy. I've never hunted in my life and never intend to but there's certainly a difference between being tortured and just dying quickly. Huge difference.
