I'm off to Bloomington, GO DAWGS!!!!!!!

A good defensive catcher who get can hit lefties pretty well, yay.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 17, 2006 -> 12:04 AM) It wasn't even a punch that Anthony threw, it was more of a slap. Jared Jefferies would have beat Melo's ass had Marcus Camby not tackled him. Ya, not sure what that was exactly. Gotta love when someone throws a "punch" and then just runs away, tough guy.

I like how Melo threw his punch and then just ran away, what a b****.

McDermott should have never left the Valley.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 16, 2006 -> 11:29 AM) Hm. Well, hate to say it, being as big a Gload fan as any, but this does appear to be a decent deal for all involved. Assuming Gload wasn't going to get a shot in LF (which he probably wasn't), then his talents were sort of wasted here. And Sisco will make for a nice addition. Tis how I feel. I'm still of the opinion that Ross can be a real good regular in this league(Tony is just wrong ) but he wasn't going to get his opportunity here.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Dec 16, 2006 -> 11:12 AM) Sisco has a good arm, and fits our mold. I am just still disgusted that Pods will be patrolling or kicking balls around in LF this year. This trade, and a platoon of Mack and Ozuna in LF would make me happy. Just venting. Ya, well none of us are happy about Pods. That being said the first "goal" of the offseason was to make the bullpen nasty, now we don't have a nasty bullpen in terms of results yet but a pen of: Bobby, Matt, MacD, Aaaaardsma, Sisco and Floyd is sure nasty in the stuff department.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Dec 16, 2006 -> 11:06 AM) Sisco has the arm, but I dont know about this trade. Our best line drive hitter is gone, yet Pods is still on this team. Ozzie's insistence on midget speed guys who cant hit is amazing. I love Ross as much as anyone but the problem is Ozzie just doesn't play him and probably never would. Our bullpen must have the best pure stuff in all of baseball with Sisco added to it. I like this trade a lot, though I'm going to miss Ross and I hope to god he gets his shot in KC, he deserves it.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Dec 15, 2006 -> 02:33 PM) I just DESTROYED my Marketing final, and now I'm done. So are you going to the game or not?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 15, 2006 -> 01:29 PM) The bottom line determines if a team is cheap, not individual players. They can't resign everyone because we aren't the Yankees and can't afford a $150 million payroll. If they are paying out what they take in, they aren't cheap. Nor does an article mean we aren't re-signing anyone.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 15, 2006 -> 12:04 PM) Meh, you can have it. I am the only one who is not on the JJ's bandwagon? Give me a deli sandwich anyday for my money. You're a communist.

No.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 15, 2006 -> 01:42 AM) Well according to Ken Rosenthal Vernon Wells is going to end up accepting the $126M contract extension the Blue Jays offered him. He'll get an opt out clause and a no-trade as well. This certainly is an interesting turn of events. Very interesting.

I really wonder how much money I've spent on Jimmy Johns the last year and a half since I've been down at school.

QUOTE(Brian @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 10:36 PM) No SIU vs. Central Michigan? Weak! Tis the moms bday. My parents are going to hate me enough as it is for going to all of these games, I have to hang out with my mom on the bday.

So my winter break has become completely scheduled around the College Basketball games that I'm going to. SIU @ IU this sunday, SIU vs. Wichita State on New Years day, tOSU @ Illinois on the 6th and tOSU @ Wisc on the 9th.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 09:58 AM) The team holds a $5M option for the 2008 season, so if Juan has an above average season in 2007 that option will likely be picked up. And you are correct Juan fired Scott Boras in 2003. I some how missed that when looking up his contract.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 07:07 AM) My question is what are we going to do with Uribe? Isn't he a FA at the end of the year? Also his agent is Scott Boras IIRC. How much do we overpay for him? He is indeed a fa after this season but his agent is no longer Scott Boras. He fired Boras before he signed his first contract extension here.

I am one lucky SOB. My history teacher gave us 8 essay questions that could possibly be on our final, but only 3 would actually be on there and we'd have to choose one to write about(essay question is half the final). So anyways, I knew 2 of them completely and the other 6 I didn't know at all. Both of the questions I knew ended up being on the final.

QUOTE(heirdog @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 02:11 PM) Crede is not overrated, he is underrated...did not win Gold Glove?!? Instead he won the Silver Slugger.

Have a good one

Tough crowd. It's certainly not the dunk of the year but it was a pretty impressive dunk and you definitely don't see something like that 4 times a night. He got up extremely high, caught it with one hand and slammed it down with authority. I was impressed.

This is a dunk from Saturday's game by Courtney Lee, the superstar for WKU. Definitely worth a watch. http://www.hilltopperhaven.com/video/leedunk2.wmv

I don't understand weather, it's around 60 degrees here today.

Coaches poll is out: We some how managed to get less votes than last week Wichita State up to number 10, Oregon and Clemson in at 24 and 25, Cuse and Maryland out.
