QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 07:59 PM) Their resume is basically the same as St. Mary's. At the very least it would be another team to consider for the bubble. St. Mary's has 2 rpi top 50 wins and Siena has 0, huuuuuuuuuuuge difference. No chance Siena gets in if they lose.

Kansas over KState again in the finals.

And the Valley once again is a one bid league.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 09:46 PM) And those 5 innings a week, are usually the most important 5 innings of the week. Truth. Still, Nathan is quite important but no where near as valuable as Morneau or especially Mauer.

The empty net probably has a better chance to make a save than Huet.

QUOTE (Ranger @ Mar 7, 2010 -> 01:34 AM) Or you need the collective lineup to produce homeruns, you don't necessarily need just one guy to be the HR guy. Keep in mind that everyone in the lineup, except Pierre, is easily capable of 15+ homeruns apiece, while Beckham and Rios are capable of 20 each, Konerko 30 (though 25+ is more likely), and Quentin 30+. (I didn't even include Jones or Nix that each have plenty of power potential). Not a single player hit 30 HRs for the Sox last year, but they were 6th overall in the AL in that category. It helps, but they don't have to have one big HR producer, though it would obviously give them a better chance. It's not a foregone conclusion that they will be without power. Regardless, I think it's hyperbolic to say the DH will be a miserable failure. Obviously, if there were guys like Thome or Thomas from 10 years ago available to them, they would take it. But regardless of why there aren't that many of those types, the reality is that there just aren't many of those types anymore. Yeah but there's plenty of good hitters to be dh'ing, they don't need to be 30+ homer guys but a decent hitter would sure be nice. For the first time in my life, I agree with quick, if Jones doesn't magically get back to what he was 4 years ago than the dh(or wherever the hell this extra player will be hitting) will be a miserable failure, I don't see how that's even arguable at this point.

UNI is so well coached.

Wow what the hell happened in the Kansas-Mizzou game?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 03:45 PM) You really think we go from a projected .500 team to World Series contender just by adding AGON? I know he's good. Don't know if he's THAT good. We still need a bunch of guys to have bounce-back years. Division would definitely be a lock. Well I think we're a bit better than a .500 team right now. But yes, upgrading from Kotsay/Jones/Vizquel to Adrian adds a lot of wins to your team. And even with out him, IF we get into the playoffs I think we'll have a good shot to make a run cause of our rotation, you add Gonzalez, and yes I think we have a great shot to win it all.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 03:39 PM) If we can sign AGON to an extension then anybody is fair game not named Beckham. But for a year and two months of AGON? Ask Braves fans how they feel about losing Neftali Feliz and Elvis Andrus for a year of Tex. Still... AGon really is the missing piece to make this a World Series club. We're one guy away and he's it.

I don't even understand why people bring a bat up to the plate to face Marmol. You're either going to k or walk, no point in swinging.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 03:35 PM) i realize its spring training, but seeing what danks, flowers, hudson,viciedo etc, are capable of doing, how promising they look, doesnt that make you think a little twice about trading them (and more) away for agone? Nope. I already know how talented they are and Huddy is the last piece I want to give up but if we add Adrian we really do have a legit, legit shot at making a World Series run.

Q

So one of the best players ever at doing the fundemental things right, comes to the white sox and can't move the runners over. Go figure.

Wow, the little kid did something right.

Huddy allows a single to Theriot and turns it into a dp real quick. Well done.

Lots of running so far, eh? Just got out of the shower and missed Quentins bomb, damn it.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 02:39 PM) Man, I wish this game would never end. Hey send it in to Overtime! Nova/WV Wow. Scottie Reynolds with a wide open 3 to win it and clanked it. WVU wins.

QUOTE (SnB @ Mar 5, 2010 -> 01:34 PM) The wii fit is still hard to find?? I want to get one for my wife for her birthday and am astonished that they're still not readily available. anyone know any places i'll have some luck? So I seriously just read this and thought to myself, "wait he's married?" Heh, beer kills brain cells.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 01:55 PM) Lets give the ball to Dinma early and often today. Good strategy. I think you'll see the same thing out of us today, pounding it in to Teague. Wait, what?

Heh, this thread is quite entertaining. There are some messed up people on this site.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 12:19 PM) Anybody know any good places to eat lunch and catch the first game today in Downtown St. Louis? Just hit up Union Station. Forgot the name of the place but there's a decent sports bar in there.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Mar 5, 2010 -> 10:19 PM) I really f***ing hate this team sometimes. I started to get ready to go out tonight and all the sudden you guys are tied. Nice spurt to end the half it looks like.

Being pissed off at all the people going on spring break.

Real good game between Wichita State and Missouri State. Shockers pulled it out at the end.
