Ummm first of all, this new book changes it from innuendo and rumor into fact, these are court documents and grand jury testimony. Second, comparing a spitball to steroids, something that is illegal in the United States, is quite silly. Although I agree with you, Bonds won't be prosecuted criminally, he would have been indicted by now if that was the case.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 02:30 PM) Expectations, my friend. Last year we weren't expected to do s***. This year, we are considered as strong contenders for the whole enchilada. Very true. Maybe I have a losers attitude, but after ending the 88 year disaster drought last season, I am a lot more relaxed. We may not win it all, but no way in hell Ozzie, Kenny, and these players let us "flop".

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 02:19 PM) It's also scary. If we flop, OMG! Then we have a 1 year WS Title drought. OMG indeed .

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 01:54 PM) And the Sosa's and McGwire's and Anderson's and Giambi's of the world thank you. No, they thank their lucky stars that they weren't the ones getting supplies from the BALCO lab that was raided.

BTW, I haven't noticed it yet in this thread, but...... WHITE SOX WEDNESDAY!!

QUOTE(Brian @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 01:51 PM) I love college basketball on TV in the afternoon during the week. No kidding, Wednesday-Friday of conference tourney week and Thursday and Friday of the NCAA 1st round is amazing. I love being in college.

Republicans like boobies too? (yeah, that's all I got )

G'Town has to be very shaken mentally after losing to 0-15 (in league play) USF last Saturday, costing themeselves a bye. Great chance for ND to win this one.

My wise father once told me something that is VERY true when it comes to this game. "Baseball stats are like hookers, you can make 'em do anything you want to."

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 01:27 PM) Agree. Just wish they went after everyone with the same zest. The sports world would smell a lot less. I agree they should go after everybody else as hard too, but everybody else didn't hit 73 in a season, over 700 (and counting) in a career, gain 60 pounds of "muscle" in their mid 30's (as well as all of a sudden doubling their HR/AB rate), have their head grow, be a complete in denial asshole about it to everybody, and break all kinds of baseball records, and have a PERSONAL TRAINER sent to prison for steriod crimes related to a steroid infested science lab in the city the player plays in. Of course they are going to go the hardest after Bonds, the circumstantial (and now physical) evidence is overwhelming.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 01:30 PM) Definitely cheering for NIU, I got a feeling though that Ohio is finally going to wake up and make some noise in this tourny. If it's not a great battle between Kent State and Akron for the title, I'd be shocked. They are BY FAR the 2 best teams, and Ohio hasn't been the same without Fears.

To me, this trade pretty much means your going to see Mac in LF a lot this year to keep Pods fresh, and at 3B a lot to keep Crede's back in order hopefully. Cintron will see quite some action at 3B and Ozuna at 2B IMO. We have a very solid bench and I love this trade.

NIU holds the #2 seed in this tournament and opens against Toledo Thursday morning at 11 AM. NIU hasn't played since Sunday afternoon, while Toledo had to play Tuesday night to advance to this game. The top seed and heavy favorite is Kent State. Akron is probably the #2 most likely team to win, as even though they are only the #3 seed, they beat NIU head to head and finished with a better record in the league overall. I've been a big Illinois fan since birth, but as a NIU student who actually knows a couple players on the b-ball team you know I gotta say GO HUSKIES!

My goodness. That's good for 3 orders of ONIONS!!!! I can't believe he made that, it's almost mathematically impossible based on the release angle and the 1 hand flip and the defender being there. And DAMN almost from halfcourt to win it by Cincy. What a game.

GO COUGARS!! 5 Illinois teams in the dance, hopefully the Cougars do their part tonight and NIU does it later this week.

So the question is, do you believe all that....or Barry? Ladies and gentlemen, we have the smoking gun. Enjoy baseball hell Barry, you have earned it.

He could come into the game with Shania Twain playing for all I care as long as he gets people out.

QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 04:04 AM) KICK SAVE......................AND A BEAUTY!!!! *semi thread hijack* I think that Steve Berthiume (sp?) guy got hired by the upcoming new Mets T.V. station. Sucks, he was one of the few ESPN people I liked.

Ugh, horribly sad. At least her and her husband are together now in a better place. And they always come on 3's......not sure who is next, but they will probably be in their mid 40's.

I think it's a broad statement based on the long history and many presidents we've had to say Carter was THE worst, but I really think it would be difficult to argue that Carter and Grant would be right there in the top 5.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 10:49 PM) I never said Gonzaga is so awesome, I love how you put words into my mouth. I've only said I think they deserve more credit than you give them. Based on their survival victories over teams with below .500 records in a bad conference. Your logic is flawed, but I suppose we will find out who is right.

Boers and Bernstein will spend their whole show laughing at this tomorrow. Flat out awesome, you can't make this s*** up.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 10:44 PM) Winning more than 2 means getting to the Elite 8 huh, lol I think you're safe. Well you seem to think Gonzaga is so awesome, why do you laugh at how safe I am?

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 10:42 PM) There's been a lot of people saying the refs favor Gonzaga in general. Gonzaga would have lost last night if they didn't.

lol @ the Gonzaga defenders. I will allow myself to be banned for a week if Gonzaga wins more than 2 NCAA Tourney games. They are a f***ing joke, and it will take a lot of luck for them to even survive the first weekend of the tournament. Oh, and Chicago State won tonight, advancing to the Mid Con Title Game vs. Oral Roberts. The drive for 5 Illinois teams in the dance lives!
