Its hard to win at Minny, now you guys know what it feels like to get smoked on the road. I wouldnt downplay Minny's defense though, they forced Ill to play that bad. -
QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 02:58 PM) All one has to do is look at the packages the O's and Indians hauled in for Bedard and Sabathia (and in the O's case, they raped the Mariners) to see how ridiculous it is to think the Cubs have what it would take to land a pitcher of Peavy's caliber. Alot of the rumors are being fuled by Cubs fans which is what is making it so ridiculous. The Cubs simply do not have a Matt LaPorta

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 01:59 PM) Also, Fields impressed a lot of people with what he did here in 2007, and he wasn't healthy then either. A fully healthy Josh Fields is not the kind of talent that you just piss away. Lets put it this way: Not many 24 year old 3B come up and put up a .788 OPS in his first real trip to the bigs. A-ram on the other side of town, although coming off of a big year, put up a .666 OPS as a 24 year old with a .946 FPCT. Pitt gave him one more shot before shipping him off to the Cubs where he has been putting up almost a consistent .900 OPS for 5 years. Im not saying Josh will be that good, but for a guy who had limited baseball experience and has shown flashes of good play like he has, you give him every shot to succeed.

Add my PS3 screenname if you are (and send in the message who you are here): "iIi-MARV-iIi" I just saw this post. we should all have our PS3 names somewhere. Mine is THE_Rockraines (shocker)

Sooo.... As a new PS3 owner since xmas I have had a great time exploring the system and a few games like NHL, Call of Duty, Tiger and now GHWT. Here is the question: Is it worth it for me to buy the drum kit and extra guitar for Guitar Hero, or should i get them for RB2? Or are they cross compatible?

FYI. Jim Callis who I think is better than Law at ranking prospects, put Becks #23 on his personal list. He also said in his chat that Viciedo could be an All-Star, he prefers Alexei over Aviles and thinks Fukudome is garbage.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 11:19 AM) They were also playing the Clippers. That doesnt change my points. The Bulls are not a good team and didnt "dominate" that would suggest that I am trying to say they are good. I was just saying those were my observations about what direction the team could go in. -
Rod Blagojevich officially facing federal corruption charges

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 11:11 AM) Watching Blago now. I'm convinced that Blago believes that if he's allowed to defend himself, there is not evidence to impeach him. Gut feeling, but I bet he's right. Let's be honest, there are few things that Blago is truly right about. He is entirely insane. -

RockRaines replied to The Beast's topic in Alex’s Olde Tyme Sports Pub
Ok, so I watched the Bulls game last night to determine for myself where the real issue is. I came away with a few different thoughts. The best lineup on the floor when I was watching was: Heinrich, Thabo, Rose, Deng and Tyrus with an occasional sub by Gordon. The reason I was impressed by this lineup was the passing first and foremost, the defense and also the speed that they played. I was reminded of a time when a 6'8" Magic Johnson was the tallest man on the floor for the 1979 Lakers. I am not trying to compare the two teams, but this was the first time I think I actually grasped VDN's system. DRose is VERY good on the break, and in the secondary break. He runs a half court well, but obviously is good in space when matched up 1v1. Deng was much more aggressive in the game because I think he does better when running down the wing given an option to drive or pass instead of being a pull up player. Gordone and Heinrich are better spotting up for kickouts and Thabo looked fantasic making plays, passing and playing great defense. it was the first time I actually thought the team was running an actual offense with a purpose. COULD we run a smaller team and run and gun? I am not sure, but I think Rose is a pretty good player to build around if you want to play that way. The backcourt trio of Thabo, Kirk and Rose was fairly long, defended well and was unselfish. -
QUOTE (tonyho7476 @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 10:44 AM) Ok, so the swan was the first station we found out about...and it was like a bunker, surrounded by concrete. Faraday tells them to bury that bomb and surround it with concrete, or something like that. So, the 108 minutes thing, is that them venting some gas buildup from that bomb? And when they don't do it, it explodes. Does this make sense? Doesnt it implode not explode?

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 10:47 AM) Young pitching is prob want the Pads want more than anything. Still you stick an average SP into PETCO, he's probably going to do pretty well. If I am the Pads, a 26-27 year old swingman who isnt that great in the NL isnt what I am looking for when shopping one of the best pitchers in baseball.

KW's "we're all set" press declarations

He's done for that day. KW is still looking and fielding calls, and this is 100% truth. -
QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 10:08 AM) Poking around some of the boards, unless the writers are trying to make it too obvious(which they have done before), -Not only is Ms. Hawking Daniels mom, but "Ellie", the female solider on the island, is a young Ms. Hawking. Eloise Hawking is Ms.Hawkings full name, and if you remember, when Daniel is doing his rat maze, the rat he uses in front of Desmond is named Eloise. I knew it, s***. So is Desmond finds his mom outside of the Island, what does that accomplish?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 10:19 AM) Thats a tough call rock. Both are clearly superior pitchers, but both have some suspicious arm troubles in the last year or two Peavy is clearly superior IMO and not even close.

Ok folks: If given the choice, would you rather have Peavy or Zambrano?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 08:41 AM) I actually feel pretty good about 3B. I think the chances of either Fields or Viciedo (or both) flourishing are very high, like 90%+. For that matter, I think that the chances are almost as good for Getz or Lillibridge (or both) to do well at 2B. The back end of the rotation is really the big scary monster with this team, IMO. Then to a lesser extent, CF, and then backup C. The rest of the team looks pretty solid to me. I have zero concerns about Getz hitting at the major league level, I also feel the same about Lillibridge's defense at the MLB level.
